"square enix" didn't invent cyberpunk, anon

Hr set a direction plenty copied

Cool bait, but Mike Pondsmith no doubt influenced Deus Ex, so it's like saying they ripped themselves off.

>>3960522
You mean William Gibson.

While I disagree with OP’s thesis, this isn’t any better. A, no one had heard of Mike Pondsmith before CP77 came out except for three fa/tg/uys and so I highly doubt that literally anything was influenced by him, and B, cyberpunk the tabletop game was always heavily derivative and essentially a repackaged “cyberpunk: the greatest hits” compilation to begin with. Cyberpunk the genre is 90% ripping off Blade Runner, Neuromancer, and Ghost in the Shell, anyway.

>>3960561
That's just silly, bro. You may not have heard of Mike Pondsmith, but people who were interested in that kind of thing had, and those nerds later became game designers and helped fuel the industry with those influences. Every Japanese dude that works for a Japanese company has been doing that same job for 40+ years, that is just their culture, and you'd be wrong if you think none of them played tabletop.

GitS didn't exist when Mike Pondsmith made CP2020 you tard. Appleseed and Bubblegum Crisis would have been what he was influenced by because he is an old school black weeb.

>>3960578
>t. tard
I plainly differentiated between “cyberpunk the tabletop game” and “cyberpunk the genre” in my post, but don’t let mere words stop you from responding.

>>3960561
>Ghost in the Shell
If anything made cyberpunk a genre, it's this.

This is your tree of c.punk.

Popularizing something is not the same as making it.
Cyberpunk as a genre predates GitS. Look at Dredd.

>>3960693
Cyberpunk is a new genre with entries like dredd predating it. If cyberpunk has a mother, it's gits. There are pre or proto cyberpunk works that are decades old. As genre it is clearly a 90s genre. Cyberpunk itself influenced not only media, but also other fields like fashion, think tech wear or urban ninja. Not to mention that wear measuring vitals is as cyberpunk as it gets.

>>3959122
they copied Syndicate the FPS

>>3961130
That's better worldbuilding than cp2077, where you as mercy or solo help the police killing criminals.

>>3961083
Dude, are you seriously trying to claim Neuromancer isn't cyberpunk?

GitS wasn't even the first Japanese Cyberpunk a quick google could have told you that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cyberpunk

I'm not trying to take away GitS influence on the cyberpunk genre but it was not the first by a large margin.

>>3961165
Lol, no. I'm saying cyberpunk wasn't a genre back then. Neuromancer might be the most popular cyberpunk work (in hindsight) and is certainly a big influence. What made as in gave birth to the genre is gits.
>GitS wasn't even the first Japanese Cyberpunk
Exactly. No prerequisite to be the first to have the strongest reception. Gits itself borrows heavily from other sources.
>not the first
Clear case. It isn't. One could find traces of cyberpunk in decade old literature and likely films, too. Metropolis for one.

>>3959122
I think people's standards for "plagiarism" or "ripoffs" are ridiculously low. Every work of art is created from countless little components lifted from both fiction and reality. The originality of each piece doesn't matter, what matters is the exact way they're put together. Your post is the equivalent of saying a book is shit because the author didn't invent any of the words they were using.

You could have saved yourself and everyone else a lot of time by simply writing "I'm a jeet", you dumb retarded turdmuncher

Both of you have extremely low IQ and likely underage.

CDPR copy pasted assets, character design, quests, and narratives. They phoned the whole thing in, just look at the state of the product at release.

>>3961779
can you copypaste assets across different engines? not a devfag, so i'm just genuinely asking.

>>3961804
yes, meshes are overlayed overtop of objects

This is basically Kenshi. Or is it Ark? Who knows. All fiction is ripping each other off because fiction is harder to write than nonfiction. Audiences are quick to spot bad fiction. Hence the saying truth is stranger than fiction. No one would believe the recreation of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in a Star Trek or Star Wars. For nonfiction everyone knows it lead to the deaths of millions in WW 1 and 2.
