Video Game: Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is a CD Projekt RED developed game based on the Cyberpunk Tabletop RPG by Mike Pondsmith. The game is due to be released sometime in 2015.

A cinematic trailer can be seen here

Cyberpunk 2077 provides the following Tropes:

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: See Cybernetics Eat Your Soul below.
Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: True to the pen-and-paper RPG, "Psychos" are humans who have installed too many cybernetic augments in their body, causing them to go Axe Crazy and go on a Kill All Humans rampage. In other words, HK-47 without the sense of humor or the subtle restraint.
Cyberpunk: Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
- What's most unique about this particular flavor is that it's predecessor was an early shaper of the genre, back in 1988. The original creators and CD Projekt Red are revisiting the genre after the intervening 20 years, and are able to show a more mature and developed take on the established genre.
Dystopia: Par for the course.
- Crapsaccharine World: The creators have expressed their dislike for how overplayed "Dark, gritty raining world" cyberpunk has become.
Shout Out: The Braindances are a lot like the SQUID devices in Strange Days. They are reportedly a major Plot Point in the game.
Squad Nickname: MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division) is nicknamed the Psycho Squad because their chief job is to hunt down rogue cyborgs gone nuts.
Token Evil Teammate: One recruitable party member will be a Psycho.
