History VideoGame / TheLastNight

The game was late revealed at E3 2017 with what can only be described as 8X8i-bit graphics; take a fully animated 3D video game city, and replace every detailed speck with a pixel, but keep the depth, lighting effects, and fluid animations. The end result is what you'd expect video games to look like if they were forced to use 8pixel art by law but unrestricted in everything else. The game focuses on a man named Charlie, who [[BlessedWithSuck can't interface himself]] with the virtual lives of the city thanks to a childhood accident, being given the opportunity to take matters in his own hands. The game was planned to release in 2018, but suffered a delay due to funding issues.

* CyberPunk: It's set in a dark, noir-like city (implied to be Paris) some point in the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture near future]] and revolves around an AntiHero trying to kill his target.
* CyberPunkIsTechno: The soundtrack reflects this.

* PostCyberpunk: The updated version is described as this. Menial labor is taken care of by machines, and people live a life of comfort.
* SceneryGorn: Paris has seen better days...

''The Last Night'' is a short {{Cyberpunk}} 2D side-scrolling web game that [[http://itch.io/jam/cyberpunk-jam/results/ won the 2014 Cyberpunk Jam]]. It was developed by Odd Tales, a team composed to Tim and Adrien Soret. [[http://timsoret.itch.io/the-last-night/ It is playable here.]]

Due to positive reception, Odd Tales began work on an expanded version of the game, with the additon of more staff. Adrien would later leave the studio in December 2016 to pursue his own endavors.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: It's not specified when the game is set, but juding by the amount of drones, the cityscape, and the level of technology, this is probably set in the 2040s/2050s or any time after that. The updated game makes it harder pinpoint considering [[FlyingCar hover cars]] are commonplace and [[AfterTheEnd Paris reduced to ruins.]]

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The nightclub's robot bouncers simply tell the strange man with a gun who just shot two police drones in their line of fight that he's uninvited, bar him from entrance, and do not attempt to do anything else, like call the police themselves. Instead, they'll calmly stand as he pulls out a gun and shoots them both.

* ApatheticCivilians: None of the people in the streets will pay any attention to a strange man pulling out a gun in their face, or even shooting it right past them, whether in the air, or to destroy a police drone.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AfterTheEnd: If the E3 trailer is anything to go by, Paris has been reduced to a burning ruin by something big.

** PostCyberpunk: The updated version is described as this. Menial labor is taken care of by machines, and people live a life of comfort.

* DisneyVillainDeath: The target, after being shot twice.
* CityOnTheWater: The trailer features one built around what appears to be a cargo ship.
* MediumBlending: The E3 trailer shows 2D pixel art blended with 3D lighting and visual effects, like an extreme version of SpritePolygonMix.

** SceneryGorn: Paris has seen better days...

Starting out TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, the player arrives at at a train station in what appears to be Paris. His contact informs him of his target who will be at a local nightclub. From there the player treks across part of the city, shooting down some police drones in the way, in order to finally reach the entrance to the nightclub. There, he finds the target, kills his bodyguard, and shoots the man who then stumbles out of a window onto a balcony overlooking the city. The player follows him out there and shoots them a final time, sending the target plunging to their death. Then, the hitman lights a cigarette as the credits roll. And that's the prototype...

* DesignatedVillain: The target. We have no clue what they have done to get on the player's bad side (alternatively, they could just be a target for a hitman), but the game revolves around tracking them down and killing them. It's implied that the target is a rather shady figure, as he's seen with an armed bodyguard who points his weapon at any who come near and is lounging with two women who may or may not be prostitutes.

And that's the prologue.

E3 2017 revealed a fleshed out, AAA-quality continuation of the flash game that can only be described as 8X8i-bit graphics; take a fully animated 3D video game city, and replace every detailed speck with a pixel, but keep the depth, lighting effects, and fluid animations. The end result is what you'd expect video games to look like if they were forced to use 8-bit pixel graphics by law but unrestricted in everything else. The game, instead of continuing the adventures of the hitman, focuses on a man named Charlie, who [[BlessedWithSuck can't interface himself]] with the virtual lives of the city, being given the opportunity to take matters on his own hands. Release date TBA.

The game continues the adventures of the hitman as he ekes out a miserable living, investigating the lives of important people so he can murder them in cold blood, hunted by the latest in cybernetic security and a whole slew of gun-toting psychopaths also known as people. Release date TBA.
