See that mohawked, bespectacled young man up there, jauntily handling a pistol while neon lights blaze behind him? That’s the teaser image that CD Projekt RED sent out ahead of tomorrow’s conference thing-a-mahopper. I have no idea what the game is about, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all play a rousing game of Guess The RPG.
I’ll start.
CyberWitcher: Hacker of Commando CowboyKings
Pistols At Dawn: A Mohawk’s Tale
Super Neon Hairstyle Squad
Go! Go! Go! Electric Blue Nearsighted Warriors!
See, it’s not hard! Leave your own ideas in the comments.
Billy Idol Future Wars
Sex Pistols: The Game (no relation to the band of the same name)
Seriously, I don’t care what it is, I just started The Witcher 2 and I will play anything CD Projekt RED puts out at this point, no questions asked.
Witcher 2099
Witcher Beyond
Space Witcher
Neurowitcher
Netwitcher
Blade Witcher
Stop reading my mind!!!
DRM Hunter
Sinner’s Column
Silverhawks: Origins
Flashback 2 (this would be kind of awesome, by the way – and yes, I know there was a game called Fade To Black that was the “spiritual” sucessor to Flashback, but let’s not linger there)
Prey Too
Starfox: Revelations
Freelancer 2
Assassin’s Creed Reloaded
The Vampirer: Murderers of Presidents
Silverhawks?!
Wow.
Yeah, I went there. For some reason, the picture reminded me of one of them, the guy with the cowboy hat. Go figure.
Bowie’s Ridge Runners: The Search for Iggy.
Where the past meets the future.
Cyber-Bullies: No Sleeves, No Mercy
Future Lasering
Psi-ber Pstorm
USB of America (or Neomerica)
I’m done, looking forward to whatever this may be. Even if it isn’t Blade Witcher.
Witcher 3: the Pistolmancering
Shadowrun: Warsaw
Snow Crash Shootout (I would totally buy this)
Footbol Hooligan RPG, retitled Crazy European Soccer Fans for North America
Lead Tears in the Rain
Cyberpunk Dirty Harry
Green planet, Greener Bloom Effects
A Killer Hairstyle
“Footbol Hooligan RPG, retitled Crazy European Soccer Fans for North America”
Made me laugh 😀
MirrorStorm
Corpwars
Bobby and His Technical Boys
I think I’d play Bobby and His Technical Boys.
That’s awesome.
Punk Ass Bitcher
World of Wankers
Santa’s Got Attitude
My Little Pony: Rainbow Dash’s Drug Wars
Yet Another Square-Enix RPG
We Like Green (Except on our hair)
Hooligan: Team Hugs
Shoot Stuff: Frowny Face Edition
DarkJog: Totally Not Shadowrun
Cyber Manshoot: Augmented Fatality
Jet Set Radio 3: Even More Futurer
Google Glasses Vigilante Vengeance
CyberEmo Hair Gel Assassin
Roleplay for the Jilted Generation (cookie for anyone who susses out the reference)
The Prodigy!
Cookie for you good sir!
Can we start a new thread for titles that we’d actually like to see made into a video game? Some of these guesses sound downright awesome.
Manhack 3: Beyond the Psiberdawn
Blistered Steel
Hell Bent For Pleather
Codename: Wizardjack
Monday
“Hell Bent For Pleather”
We have a winner folks. And by winner I mean made me choke on ice cream.
I do love me some “Hell Bent for Pleather” but I gotta give props to a dark, gritty CRPG called “Monday”. There’s something compelling about that, and it promises to take place in a single day.
I want it to be Cyber Punk, but the joke name would probably be “Mohawk – The 2013 Space Oddessy” (odd spelling for more amusement.)
Well, you got it right. The name IS Cyberpunk, and it’s based on the PNP RPG system.
Looks like Spider Jerusalem to me.
Naked Jacket
Jeffrey Donovan: The Game
Green Syndicate
Geralt’s Time Travel Adventure
Grumpy Men from the Future
Super Hollywood Hackers
Secret Public Schoolboys.
RPG Chronicles: Dungeon Slayer.
Legends of Nothing.
Office Worker Chronicles: Water-cooler Edition.
My personal favourite so far is ‘Bobby and His Technical Boys’.
