1	The game's a total love letter to classic CyberPunk franchises. Elements of ''Film/BladeRunner'', ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'', ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'', ''Anime/ArmitageIII'', ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' and many others are clearly present.

3	Here are the specific shoutouts as seen in the game.
4
5	* When players complete purchases at the kiosks, the tune that plays when you hit the jackpot is the Final Fantasy victory theme.
6	* In the scene when you meet the British and Chinese members of the Rust Crew the side with the pool looks like E. Honda's stage in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''.
7	* A number of Resistance soldiers are wearing armor that's clearly inspired by [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Imperial Guardsmen]].
8	* Cain uses a machine-pistol and has the same combat stance as Franchise/{{Robocop}}.
9	* [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Amada hacks into the US millcom and orders nuclear strikes against the rest of the world - Skynet's opening gambit.]]
10	** ''Terminator'' influences are strongly felt with the skeleton structures of most robots, but most definitely with the car and giant motorcycle robots in the last highway chase.
11	* The mobile gun howitzer behaves very much like a non-nuclear ''VideoGame/MetalGear''.
12	** However, they more closely resemble [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Mugendramon/Machinedramon.]]
13	* Putting Hollow Children in the place of certain persons has the same feeling of ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'' all right.
14	** Also, female Hollow Children being capable of giving birth is definitely a shoutout to ''Anime/ArmitageIII''.
15	* The design of the MiniMecha used by Philiips' spec ops team strongly evokes ''VideoGame/FrontMission''.
16	* Some Security robots in Upper Tokyo use machine pistols, having a habit of spinning their pistols with their trigger fingers when drawing/holstering - which was [[Franchise/{{Robocop}} Alex Murphy's]] habit.
17	* The AceCustom that [[spoiler: Philips]] uses is [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam painted red, ala Char's Zaku II]].
18	* The Tsar Runner is essentially Demolishor from Revenge of the Fallen.
19	* Whether it's intentional or not (if it's ever cited specifically, I sure didn't see it), the Hollow Children's name is highly reminiscent of [[http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784/ T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men."]]
20	** The Hollow Children (at least those who believe that they're human) living in normal society is taken from the original Ghost in the Shell and partially from Blade Runner.
21	* Kiryu's guerrilla skin in multiplayer is a shoutout to the Rambo franchise.
22	* The Rust Crew's mandate to hunt down Hollow Children under [=IRTA=] mandate is a shoutout to Blade Runner.
