hmm cyberpunk good if not too real nowadays= early nineties probabaly it's golden era.
Steam punk oddities and guns that will surely get you to type steampunk in visual search.
About even really
But WHAT THE Hell is biopunk? (seriously)
Edit wait there like 5 (blank)punk styles so can somebody list them?

 

[Sacman]

Dieselpunk. It exists.

Indeed, as BioShock is the closest thing to a dieselpunk videogame we've got. It's way too advanced for steampunk.

but Bioshock is more Art deco mixed with Steampunk and Biopunk...

 

[Theninja'skatana]

I'd say steampunk, when compared to cyberpunk it's a relatively unexplored medium and what would you honestly prefer, a cyborg bloke riding an electronic jetpack or a gentleman in a top-hat with monocle and moustache riding a whimsical steampowered jetpack?

You sir forgot the jetpack law.
Jetpacks=awesome.

 

[Master10K]

Cyberpunk, since I prefer Ghost in the Shell to Steamboy and I will probably prefer Deus Ex: Human Revolution to Bioshock.

You sir forgot the jetpack law.
Jetpacks=awesome.

You sir, forgot the gentleman law.
Monocle, top hat and moustache=more awesome.

 

[Arachon]

Cyberpunk, definitely. Steampunk just feels silly...

Also, Ghost in the Shell != Cyberpunk, it's post-Cyberpunk, not dystopic enough.

And BioShock is Biopunk (duh).

Monocle, top hat and moustache=more awesome.

While the hat and monocle might need some super glue to stay on there's no reason you cant have a gentleman jetpacker...

I like Steampunk better. It's more of "what we could have been" instead of "what we can be in the future maybe."

 

[maq493]

Steampunk is certainly the better choice, my friend! Cyberpunk is potentially futuristic. Steampunk is the path not taken.

 

[gamepopper101]

Both are good, you are mainly choosing whether the future is in the sky or in space.

clockpunk bro, steampunk without all the steam stuff, that is, everything is clockwork, yes, it exist, sorta

in other case, steampunk bro

 

[Mr.Mattress]

Steampunk, because I think it's awesome for the Victorian Era to run on Steam and have a brass and chrome Gear look.

(Whomever said Deiselpunk) We live in that kind of world unfortunately... Not everything runs on Diesel, but everything important does...

Also, how come no one has tried making Mineralpunk yet?

 

[Atmos Duality]

I love both, but....I love Shadowrun more.

Cyberpunk....by a hair's breadth.

 

[oppp7]

Neither is 'better'. They have distinct feels to them and blah blah blah boring stuff.

As for preference, I'll say I like biopunk.

hmmm i'll stick with cyberpunk... steampunk is too much traditionalistic for me.

 

[DoctorObviously]

Steampunk is really cool, but I think I have to give this one to Cyberpunk.

 

[Buizel91]

Dieselpunk. It exists.

*looks up*

Hehe R2D2 running on diesel XD that's epic.

And i would say CyberPunk, cause i like that kind of stuff =D

 

[Hosker]

Steampunk is so badass, I love the colours mainly. The new bioshock seems even more steampunk.

 

[MissGinaKid]

Steam punk. There's something about overcomplicated arrays of cogs and pipes that really appeals to me on the asthetic level. Plus, many things designed with steampunk are made to look... pretty. As if technology is treated like an art. I don't know if I can explain it right.

I'm pretty much with this guy.
