    I love that pic. For anyone that doesn't know or didn't follow the links, that screenshot is a recreation of a Bladerunner scene made with Cryengine2, oh and it's in-game graphics.

    I'd love a Blade Runner game...I'm not sure I'd want Gearbox behind it though. #bladerunner

    When I was a kid, we would go to the video store at least once a month and rent Robot Jox.

    Such fond memories. I imagine if I were to rent it now that those memories might get just the teensiest bit tarnished. #bladerunner

    That really sucks to hear. I would love a new Blade Runner game. While the old one is a classic, and I absolutely adore point and click games, it would've been nice to have a new tech-noir world to play around in.

    @d_r_e: I was just discussing the idea of a new Blade Runner game with a friend of mine a few days ago.

    We came to the conclusion that a GTA-style game would suit it best, set in 2019's LA. And instead of having one long-ass campaign with one main character, you'd have two shorter campaigns... One where you play as a replicant, with more action-oriented GTA-style gameplay and the other where you'd play as a Blade Runner - having to find clues in the city, investigate, use the ESPER and be careful not to retire any humans by mistake...even though in your position that is a risk.

    Blade Runner has to be my favourite movie of all time, I've seen it so many times I practically know the script by heart and quote it at appropriate moments. Few get the references, but I jump at the chance to say "Did you get your precious photos?" #bladerunner

    The 1997 Bladerunner game was incredibly ahead of its time. Maybe a little too ahead of its time as it didn't do too well commercially.

    Still it was a genius of a game and I'd love to see something in the same vein. It actually had incredible replayability for a pseudo adventure game. #bladerunner

    I wouldn't categorically dismiss Gearbox as a potential developer, but if they had gotten it and it had come out as Blade Runner-lands, I wouldn't have been pleased. #bladerunner

    This or the 5th Element would make for a great open-style game.

    I'm imagining Borderlands with flying cars...

    PS - I'm really bummed at the lack of results for "Robot Jox Chainsaw Penis" in google image search. It is an iconic image, but I couldn't find a copy of it....

    I'd rather something "in the style of" than "unfaithful to".

    Example: Uncharted game Indiana Jones game
    Its got more freedom to do as it likes but they share alot of similarities and a very similar vibe. The movie is a movie and I'd like to keep it that way but I'm not opposed to which takes inspiration from the movie.

    @yutaro: That might have been where the $25 million was going. Costs may have been high because they wanted to do a GTA style game, and that much art/design costs money.

    Could have been cool, that's for sure. #bladerunner

    This really highlights what the strengths of these engines are and how far we are from the uncanny valley. We still have a few more console generations before we get there. Nevertheless, these are still rather impressive. Like I always say "A gamer can dream; a developer makes them come true." >_>
