What the fuck do you call it then? Whalepunk? Blubberpunk?SajuukKhar said:Except it isn't steampunk/dieselpunk because nothing in the trailer was powered by steam or diesel.TheYellowCellPhone said:>Steampunk/Dieselpunk styled theme
Seemingly Victorian culturally, while post-modern technologically. Lets call it Techno-punk. Or Hydraulpunk, or Numatipunk, or Non-Conventional-Locomotion-punk... Fuckin' nitpickers...Uber Evil said:What the fuck do you call it then? Whalepunk?

If they do a Collector's Edition I would love to see an art book included in it. I love how it looks like Half-Life 2 but set in the Victorian Era.SajuukKhar said:The guy who did the concept art for Half-Life 2 is doing art for this game so in terms of style its gonna be top notch.
Everything in that trailer reeks of COMBINE.
How is it a Bioshock rip-off? Only similarity I see is the theme which is steam-punkish.Nieroshai said:People are going to be crying "Bioshock ripoff!!!

Could the term "telsa-punk" be used ? Since it looks like they have some kind of electric system. It could be magic but from what the trailer showed, magic is in the hands of certain people.Hattingston said:Steampunk =/= Steam PoweredOwen Robertson said:Seemingly Victorian culturally, while post-modern technologically.

From what I understand, steampunk is basically science fiction as conceived from a victorian perspective, which means that steam-powered gadgetry is common, but not necessary.
OP:
Wasn't even vaguely interested in this game, then I saw this trailer. Pretty freakin hyped.
uhh sci-fi, things dont need a "punk" to be cool.Uber Evil said:What the fuck do you call it then? Whalepunk? Blubberpunk?
Actually Steampunk is dependent on things powered by steam.Hattingston said:Steampunk =/= Steam Powered

Bethesda isnt making on the game.NameIsRobertPaulson said:Bethesda is doing a large amount of work here?
So we should expect the game to crash often, and require fan made patches to even run at a suitable level? And PS3 users are screwed?
Good to know.
