It's a sort of turn based open world CRPG where you can do missions for different syndicates.
Will not buy unless there are vehicles and varied interiors
Essential cyberpunk music

It won't be shown at e3 this year, that's news, sort of.
I imagine they're sticking by the FO4 bomb drop announcement as they said. So maybe 2017/18?

That right there. People consider this "cyberpunk" music. Fucking 80s sounding shit. That's the problem with cyberpunk, it has jack shit to do with the future now. It's just 80s shit with better technology than that decade actually had. The shit looks retarded now in retrospect. Hackers walking around with fucking keyboards on their wrists and shit? Everyone looking like they came out a fucking Whitesnake or Twisted Sister video? Generic "gangs" that are all themed like fucking old beat em up enemies? For real, this is the setting people want to see more games of? Year 2015 boys, we moved on past this grunge 80s shit, this is the time and gen for a clean aesthetic that truly is the vision of the future. 80s culture is NOT futuristic, sorry, it just isn't, not anymore than fucking 1950s shit is futuristic, unless you want a game with people in a suburban neighborhood dancing at the sock hop and hacking a pc using a bigass box attached to their fucking waist.
Oh, and cities where it's always raining and always night, and full of neon signs and shit? EDGY as fuck.

Epic!
You're actually wrong. Cyberpunk happens to reflect the worries of the society that creates it. Most of it started in the 80s, and so the fundamental look of it featured punk rockers, bright neon, foreign cultures intruding on the west, and a destructive society which loses most of it's natural wealth. Frequently it also has an annihilation story. Drug abuse is also common.
All worries from the 80s.
If you look at Deus Ex, most of that changes. It still has a society which loses the natural wealth. However, corporate greed plays into it much more.
Cyberpunk is a form of science fiction. It allows the author to express opinions in a way that fiction in a contemporary period cannot. Because in a contemporary period, fiction is subject to much more scrutiny. This is why Star Trek was so successful in the 60s. No one would have let a racially diverse cast be portrayed in that time period, unless it were 300 years in the future. "Oh yeah, we've solved racism. It's a footnote in humanity's past." You could believe that 300 years from now.
Likewise, with cyberpunk, you have a believable notion that humanity greatly endangers itself, or destroys it's planet, just to keep living a lifestyle that's not sustainable. In Deus Ex, you throw in some transhumanism as well. We're on the cusp of the singularity, where we begin to question what humanity is. What makes us people. How much you can take away before you lose yourself. We also begin to explore some of the discrimination that may happen in the future. How modified and unmodified humans will interact. Who becomes the second class citizen, and who acts out in rage against the other.
Cyberpunk is an important fictional genre in our time, and you're a fucking moron if you think it's "le edge" or not futuristic, or not relevant.
