All of the cyberpunk media that Cyberpunk 2077 is based on features wet and wild weather. But where does that come from? We examine the wetness of cyberpunk as a whole, and assess whether Cyberpunk 2077 lives up to the legacy of wetness established in films like Blade Runner.

I'd like it to be wetter 💦
Wet Ass Pavement
No new Overboard?
I'm actually not 100% on board (which is RARE for Simone-based content) – I think that having an arid desert setting is a really fresh and good direction for the cyberpunk genre!!! Like, I fully get the style over substance point, and I LOVE a good rainy atmosphere, but I think the juxtaposition between a rainy dense city and the dry sunny outskirts is really good and cool for the genre! The American desert is a place where mankind tries to recklessly push the limits of nature, and the sun can be as harsh and oppressive as a heavy rainfall. There is a lot of really cool style potential for the genre in the desert, and I think Simone is selling that kinda short here.
Tradition and modernity can coexist beautifully!! Gimme a bright colorful neon oasis at night that turns into a sun-bleached dilapidated shack that is clearly duct-taped together when faced with the harsh reality of daylight!! And then lemme see it at night again and delude myself into forgetting its pathetic reality!!
Will this be released for the KFC gaming console?
If IGN is "too much water" then Polygon is "not moist enough".
All in all, good video.
THE RAIN IS A LIE.
While the Ghost in the Shell movie came out in 1995, the manga dates back to 1989 and is arguably just as part of forming the nascent genre as works like Neuromancer and Blade Runner.
As a native of the PNW I'm feeling attacked. No seriously tho, it's wild that's Cyberpunk is set in CA when it clearly wants to be Seattle :p
What is Seattle rain for $200?
Wet ass c-word (city)
Honestly I think the rain effect in Cyberpunk 2077 is incomplete. At the start of the game when you first get out into the streets of Night City the rain effect looks really awesome. But it never looks like that again, which makes me wonder if what happens later on is incomplete.
further proof that cloudpunk is the superior cyberpunk game! Cloudpunk is so very very wet, from the rain, but also from my tears from the beautiful story
I don't know how I could have thought this would be anyone other than Simone
Check out the game Risk of Rain 2 please, it looks not really wet enough there. It like only rains in 2 places or so.
These silly topics based on some very well-done research are just fabulous
Who's Polygon's official dry correspondent?
Wait, there was acid rain in 2077? I’ve never seen it yellow in 70 hours.
This isn't penguiz0. You have no business talking about moisture.
I hadn't realized Cyberpunk 2077 was based on R. Talsorian's Cyberpunk. This makes this the second major project that property has killed, after the NetRunner CCG.
