Cyberpunk 2020 Hooray Pink Tie Cyberpunk! Beep Beep Boop!

1. Ignore the problem. Hey, to err is human. To ignore is divine. You can just say that Cyberpunk 2020 follows a timeline that may have been our own up until nineteen80something. But which went another way since then. This way you can just stick with the oversized mobile phones and the huge “computer in a suitcase” stuff from CP2020. Our world went iPod. CP2020 went Cyber. Deal with it – by not dealing with it.

I do weird things with cyberpunk.

For one, my vision of a cyberpunk setting is inextricably attached to the decade which spawned the genre: the 1980s. My cyberpunk future is 1985's cyberpunk future, a Thompson Twins video shot on the Blade Runner set.

Also, I really like to play up the "punk" in "cyberpunk". Not so much the nihilism, but the down-and-dirty blood-sweat-and-tears human condition.

Then, I go and muck it all up by dragging out morals and ethics. In other words, what makes you human under all that neon and plastic and myoelectric cables and junk? Can you face that? Can you live up to it? Can you handle being empathetic, or are you just gonna chuck all that away?

Add ample New Wave music, crazy haircuts, blazing guns, treachery, intrigue, neon, nightclubs, Gibsonian cyberspace, colorful NPCs, funny nicknames, trenchcoats, 80's pop culture references and jokes about a show called "Basdassatron 9000", and you're in Pink Tie Cyberpunk. BEEP BEEP BOOP!

Soweit mir bekannt ist, sieht Games In das genau so.

CP2020 muss man nicht aktualisieren, ja.
Cyberpunk als Genre allerdings macht mit aktualisierter Zukunftsmusik deutlich mehr Freude.
