Has anyone seen the movie Nirvana, with Christopher Lambert as the top gamedev in a cyberpunk corporate future. He makes a game that is little more than a cinematic version of Dragon's Lair (just google it) and inadvertantly makes the playable character fully sentient and doomed to remember every playthrough and feel every death with painful detail. Which is a problem because every single copy of this yet-unreleased game would contain such a sentient AI PC murder slave. So Lambert rebels against his corporate gods and goes on a cyber-heist to delete the main copy of the game in the corporations HQ.
Now... Imagine if this character (and other current-year female characters) got sentient and looked into a mirror. Would she feel happy and empowered that her "parents" made her look like a horse-faced crack-whore? Or would we hear "KIII11IILLL MEE3E333EE!!" coming from our speakers?
"Parents"? More like God.
"Why did God put me in this awful monkey body?"
It's one of the very best sci-fi movies ever made. Has the right amount of gore/violence/boobs and doesn't waste time anywhere. It has a cool visual look, both for the in-game world (which reminded me a lot of classic 90s FMV games) while the "real" world that Lambert and the others inhabited felt like the proper kind of cyberpunk that most games don't get right.
The ending was also classic cyberpunk but also very satisfying.
Reminds me of an xfiles episode..
