@MenaceInc As is the case with all greek words that have been "englishized", I'd argue it doesn't really matter because the pronunciation is unavoidably way off anyway (although evangelion specifically is almost 100% pronounced as it is in greek). I mean "galaxy", which you use as an example, is very different than the original greek word and the letter "γ" isn't even pronounced in English. So yeah, whatever.
I had not realized how much the cyberpunk genre had shaped my outlook on life until this multi-part documentary. I eagerly await the next part of this amazing series.
Same here! Can also see how it's shaping our present and future as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a city like Night City be built, or Cyberware becoming a thing. As awesome as it would be, it'd be rather crappy to live in too.
One thing i noticed or realised after watching all three parts is that the reason why cyberpunk genre is so fascinating is that it caters to most of our deepest and darkest fantasies while also serving as reminder of what ramifications these desires can lead to. The knowledge of these two things, which is the underlying message in everything you mentioned in this series is what keeps us from completely surrendering to technology.
What a masterfully crafted journey. Thank you! Maybe you release a supercut one day with all Parts in one. It would be like a book but as a video. Much appreciated!
Hardly. Little errors and omitions deminish it like getting Christopher Lambert's (lam bare) name and missing the fact that the term matrix is mentioned in the bible. In the bible, the matrix is the womb, like in the film. And then the tv series Total Recall 2070 is totally forgotten...
As a fan of cyberpunk culture, this series is all I ever hoped for and so much more! Thank you so much for keeping up the great work! Can't wait for the next part of the series!
This is fantastic, Indigo Gaming. This is the exact type of content I've been looking for recently. Mainstream outlets are years away from touching the Cyberpunk genre and they'll probably never match your dedication and level of detail. I loved the last two videos in the video series.
I'm kind of at a loss for words trying to describe how much joy it brings me to see this documentary unfolding with every new instance you upload of it. It feels like watching some kind of rare digital lotus bloom in it's own time.
@Martial Cabo This mans literally talked about everything from Akira: Iron Man to GitS, punk movements in the underground hitting mainstream in/around Billy Idol's cyberemo phase, and Harlan Ellison's crown jewel all the way up to System Shock 1/2 which is the precursor of an entire genre, what you would call Immersive Sims like Deus Ex. This mans does not need to go over Deus Ex, he already has his bases covered. Lmfao.
That's great to hear! I know it could be expanded on if done in a more academic and comprehensive format, but as a supplemental video, I hope it would help introduce people to many of these concepts/works.
A Cyberpunk history/philo course?? I had no idea such a thing existed, currently I have a Critical literacy requirement to fulfill at my college and would’ve actually been excited to take your course. 😂 you’re far ahead of the game, kudos to you Professor!
@@TheRockyCroweI had a philosophy and science fiction course in college. It was awesome. The three books we used were “Philosophy and Science Fiction” and “Science Fiction and Philosophy” (which cracks me up) and “Natural Born Cyborgs”. Fascinating stuff.
Started watching. Was blown away of the extremely high quality of just the first minutes. Continued watching for about 10 minutes and decided to check if I should go and get a new cup of coffe now of after the video..... 2+ hours..... I better put on a whole new pot. This is pure dedication to the art. You have a new supporter on Patreon.
@@michass Deus Ex, the Matrix sequels, Altered Carbon, Minority Report, Dark Angel, Charlie Jade, Mirror's Edge...there's still a lot of cyberpunk media to cover. Just because we're living in a cyberpunk future (and have been for some time) doesn't mean there haven't been entries into the genre.
YES! So happy to see the Doctor Who Gallifreyan matrix referenced here. Such a tiny detail, but as a fan of both Who and Matrix, it made me happy. Also, it's yet another testament to the insane amount of research and work you put into this series, and how that attention to detail really shines through. Excellently done.
I'm glad you enjoyed that detail! I admit I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool Doctor Who fan, but it was a fascinating detail that probably seeded the concept of cyberspace and the matrix as seen in works like Neuromancer years later.
This series is the standard, it's definitive. Your time and effort here are greatly appreciated, but more than that, you've managed to produce a really engaging and enjoyable analysis of the whole Cyberpunk experience. I can't thank you enough for bringing this to us all!
This is your best part video yet & simply can be argued your Cyberpunk documentary is the best docu videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. Congrats for this amazing works.
Jesus Christ you just kill it. This is more compelling than anything streaming. Even tho it’s been some time anything you produce is so dense with expertise and insight.
This is on another level. A more than feature-length deep dive with exemplary visual and audio quality throughout. You deserve an award for this series. Thank you for your work.
I rewatched part 1 when part 2 dropped. I just rewatched both parts 1 and 2 and I’m about to dive in to part 3. Thank you. All your hard work is appreciated.
As I usually was one of the best or the best in mathematics in my class, people frequently copied my homework. I've realized that they tend to do stupid mistakes just because of not understanding what they're doing. Zuckerberg did the same with metaverse. It won't work.
Zuckerberg: A creature which attaches itself to an innovator host, consumes it and shits out a poor imitation. Even if you did not see the Zuckerberg attach itself to its prey, you can always recognise its faeces - it look a lot like dog shit.
@@extremelynice And surprise surprise Metaverse is failing and good riddance. Especially with already established programs such as VR Chat, he’d need to pull a miracle or brainwash us all for Metaverse to work
Bravo. This could’ve been a PhD thesis. A superlative analysis. Grew up in the 1980s and 90s and had already experienced many of these films, games and books - still learned so much and discovered countless new things to track down. Standing ovation.
Man the enthusiasm you have brought with this trilogy is just amazing. I can't believe it's been almost 2 years. And a year since part 2. Thanks to you and the group that pulled it off
Three parts in and I’m still bowled over by the staggering amount of work and research that goes into each episode. As always, my hats off to Indigo Gaming for this wonderful series. Anyone asks me why I love Cyberpunk, I’ll redirect them to this channel.
This is my favourite part yet! The hard work shows Indigo, you should be very proud. Watching this, it's quite astounding to me how much Cyberpunk has influenced my life through the entertainment media I was introduced to growing up in the 90s, and later taking part in both the electronic music movement, experiencing the evolution of fps games, and being blown away when I saw The Matrix in the cinema for the firs time.
I don't think I've seen a more comprehensive game/genre doc on TH-cam or literally ever. What a trip. Can't believe this is available for free on TH-cam. Thanks you have a new sub for sure
Just binged the three parts, very insightful for what used to be a niche genre. Thank you for dedicating so much time to make the most detailed and enjoyable documentary possible.
The people in the comments have said all there is to say, but you still deserve a personal THANK YOU for making this. I sincerely hope you're making money from this and if you do, it's probably not enough.
That was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely the definitive guide on Cyberpunk, it's influences, history and affect on modern day society. I'll be saving this one to my personals list to watch in 10 to 15 years from now to see how much closer we've come.
This is the most incredible documentary series I've seen on Cyberpunk. Really in depth look at the genre across all mediums. The presentation is truly professional and unrelenting in detail. Really anticipating part 4.
Started watching the episodes of this documentary in order to look for inspiration to improve my Cyberpunk 2020 campaign. Commenting to say that I thoroughly enjoy this series. Highly informative and easily digestible, with pristine editing. Godspeed, Indigo. Keep going strong and never fade away.
Its finally here!! My most anticipated documentary on youtube this year. I just have to commend you for the effort you put in this, this is not easy at all. We will rally up support for you.....You deserve it. Kudos !!
Finally.... it has arrived. Currently I am writing my Uni dissertation on Cyberpunk, specifically Blade Runner, and honestly this series has been pretty darn helpful and I may use quotes from it from time to time xD glad this is out for me to get some more inspiration to write it. Thanks for all your hard work Indigo Gaming :)
Dude this is such a good series. Really puts shit into perspective. Philosophical. Really makes you think about a lot. One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a good while.
These are absolutely amazing! My favorite part, so far--about 20 minutes into part 3-- is how each episode has been longer than the last 😅 Truly beautiful job to all involved!!
My God man. Your work is just awesome. Sound, visuals, script, research, cross media, voiceover, editing and dedication. Not sure why I was not a Patreon member before not. At least I am now. Well worth the admission fee. Honestly, just great work.
What a magnificent series. So much amazing stuff over the 3 episodes and we're only up to the year 2000! I can't wait for the next one. Thank you so much.
This has been absolutely amazing. I had no idea just how much of recent culture was inspired by the cyberpunk theme overall. Aside from the amazing production and text - your voice's cadence, inflections, timbre and the high quality of the recording makes this series all the more...breathtaking. Thank you for doing this, it may be studied by our descendants sometime in the future :))
So happy to finally get to see the third part of this series, and even more happy to hear that this journey isn't over! Keep up the amazing work! I love every second of this!
This series has been epic. It's one of the best documentaries I have ever watched on any media. This series should get an award, it's amazing, so well executed, mind-blowing, thank you so much.
SNOW CRASH !!!! love that Stephenson is getting some of his due, despite the inanity of fb going Meta. i remember watching The Thirteenth Floor and Dark City in theatres and walking out of each one being gobsmacked. and then The Matrix came out lol. also kudos for featuring a bunch of Canucks (not generally cyberpunk celebres), from Godfather Gibson himself, to Front Line Assembly on the music side, to Keanu and Carrie-Anne on the acting front, and Steve Skroce for the Matrix storyboards. also David Cronenberg and Bill Shatner ;)
I greatly appreciate Gibson's view of inspiration/plagiarism. It's because of creators like him that the medium continues to evolve without people walking on eggshells, fearing lawsuits.
I loved the first two videos of this series I’ve watched then both many times. Thanks so much for making more of this content. Cheers. Looking forward this learning from this new one now.
Easily one of the most in-depth dives into Cyberpunk. I kept expecting you to miss something, only for you to then cover more and more obscure media. I'm also surprised at just how much of it I've read/watched/played without really considering how "cyberpunk" it was.
Man, Dark City is such an incredible movie. I only saw it when I was much younger but it still lives on in my mind. Every once in a while I think about it again and it's just wonderful. AND 13th Floor? Nice. Another killer pick. And yeah I can't ignore Gattaca , also amazing.
I've watched the documentary series at least 5 times now and every watch there is something new to discover. The editing, the music, the content and the narration are chefs kiss. One of the best documentaries ever made.
I absolutely love this video essay series so much!! The tone, substance, vision, visuals, nuances both big & small, the history & growth of perhaps the greatest genre of all time, the level of detail throughout parts 1 - 3 and lastly, knowledge based off fact, both grounded in reality while also mixed in with a bit of fantasy. Thank you so much for this amazing finale to what was my absolute hands down favorite video series on all of YT. It’s put me onto so many new Comics, Video Games, TV Shows, Movies & Music. You’ve singlehandedly put me on game to what I now consider the greatest forms of entertainment I’ve ever indulged in. That now continues growing daily with more deep dives stemming from the gems you’ve dropped trough out part 1 - 3! Thank You So So Much For This Series!!! 🙏 Honestly without doubt, deserving of an award in my opinion. Maybe an Emmy or even to the level of a Pulitzer?
No sir, thank you! Without you & everybody else’s help who lended a hand in creating this incredible project sacrificing the blood, sweat and tears for 1,400+ hours just to deliver us this & give such an extensive breakdown + going all the way to the core of this genre is why I commented and give you praise. If all TH-camrs had given this level of effort and attention to detail in their work, the landscape of this entire platform would be absolutely crazy. But since they don’t, there’s these moments when you happen to come across something so special like these videos you’re creating! So again thank you 🙏 & keep up making incredible content for all to see.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my work! These are massive projects to work on mostly solo, so I can't promise Part 4 will be out anytime soon, but it will release eventually.
This is one of the most amazing works i found on TH-cam. There's SO much to unpack. The whole series is worth multiple rewatches. Thank you all that were part of this for this amazing piece of art, information and so much more. This has been an experience.
Oh man I remember playing the System Shocks when I was a kiddo. Scared the crap out of me but I was absolutely fascinated. Shodan is one of the best Cyberpunk antagonists of all time.

This is one of those moments when you can just already favorite a video without even starting it because you know it's gonna be good.
Agreed, I almost never like a video before I finish watching it but just going by previous installments I knew this was going to be epic.
I sure did!
Get outta my head! 😀
feels lackluster compared to the other way too much philosemitic references were made.
100% I was not expecting a 3rd part of this fantastic series, I'm gonna enjoy every moment.
I had not realized how much the cyberpunk genre had shaped my outlook on life until this multi-part documentary. I eagerly await the next part of this amazing series.

Thanks for watching and tweeting about the video! Yes, I really enjoy that song as well, it's got a strong "Pretty Hate Machine" vibe to it.
Came here to say the exact same thing!
One thing i noticed or realised after watching all three parts is that the reason why cyberpunk genre is so fascinating is that it caters to most of our deepest and darkest fantasies while also serving as reminder of what ramifications these desires can lead to.
The knowledge of these two things, which is the underlying message in everything you mentioned in this series is what keeps us from completely surrendering to technology.
For me, i just think at its core, cyberpunk only describes the world we already live in, except with sci-fi stuff added
What a masterfully crafted journey. Thank you! Maybe you release a supercut one day with all Parts in one. It would be like a book but as a video. Much appreciated!

"Memories were meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason." That's deep. Strange Days is such a good movie.
You are such a MONUMENT to perseverance that I can sincerely call you one of my role models.
Live long and prosper, Indigo.
This whole series has just been a constant rumination of every single love I had growing up, from books to films to games to music. Literally.
Creating the most indepth and comprehencive cyberpunk documentary series there is.
This series is the standard, it's definitive. Your time and effort here are greatly appreciated, but more than that, you've managed to produce a really engaging and enjoyable analysis of the whole Cyberpunk experience.
I can't thank you enough for bringing this to us all!
I haven’t watched Hackers since the early 2000s. This video convinced me to watch it again
"I reject your reality and substitute my own!" Sounds strangely more cyberpunk now than before I watched this installment.
This is your best part video yet & simply can be argued your Cyberpunk documentary is the best docu videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. Congrats for this amazing works.
Me who is already behind schedule with everything
Indigo gaming: do you want the get even more behind schedule?
@Brandon Knight 70% done with editing. There was scripting, recording, editing sound, gathering assets and research before that.

Zuckerberg 2021: This is my idea now.
'can I copy your homework?'

'ok'

This series has been epic. It's one of the best documentaries I have ever watched on any media. This series should get an award, it's amazing, so well executed, mind-blowing, thank you so much.
This channel is criminally underrated.
SNOW CRASH !!!! love that Stephenson is getting some of his due, despite the inanity of fb going Meta. i remember watching The Thirteenth Floor and Dark City in theatres and walking out of each one being gobsmacked. and then The Matrix came out lol.
also kudos for featuring a bunch of Canucks (not generally cyberpunk celebres), from Godfather Gibson himself, to Front Line Assembly on the music side, to Keanu and Carrie-Anne on the acting front, and Steve Skroce for the Matrix storyboards. also David Cronenberg and Bill Shatner ;)
Gibson is a Canuck convert, but I guess that still counts.
VRChat is closer to the metaverse than fb is, using the name or even getting more users (if they ever do) means little.
I put this in best documentaries playlist. I can't believe this is free. It's so concise, well formulated, and edited.
I'm happy. The clip with William Gibson acknowledging Tiger Tiger/The Stars...was a nice touch :) Good job on all three videos.
I greatly appreciate Gibson's view of inspiration/plagiarism. It's because of creators like him that the medium continues to evolve without people walking on eggshells, fearing lawsuits.
He kill each and every one of these. Can't stop watching every episode.
I loved the first two videos of this series I’ve watched then both many times. Thanks so much for making more of this content. Cheers. Looking forward this learning from this new one now.
Easily one of the most in-depth dives into Cyberpunk. I kept expecting you to miss something, only for you to then cover more and more obscure media. I'm also surprised at just how much of it I've read/watched/played without really considering how "cyberpunk" it was.
I thought the same thing! So many of these TV shows and movies I never even associated with Cyberpunk.
Man, Dark City is such an incredible movie. I only saw it when I was much younger but it still lives on in my mind. Every once in a while I think about it again and it's just wonderful.
AND 13th Floor? Nice. Another killer pick. And yeah I can't ignore Gattaca , also amazing.
I've watched the documentary series at least 5 times now and every watch there is something new to discover. The editing, the music, the content and the narration are chefs kiss. One of the best documentaries ever made.
Thanks very much. Means a lot!
Simply fantastic and a treasure trove of recommendations to anyone even remotely interested in the genre
One of the most informative series out on TH-cam. Im amazed how much work you put in Indigo, really amazing series and stories!
Phenomenal series, best thing I have stumbled upon on TH-cam in years!
Just commenting again to boost the visibility of this series. Love it.
Your series is insane. Thanks so much for the total documentary!
I absolutely love this video essay series so much!!
The tone, substance, vision, visuals, nuances both big & small, the history & growth of perhaps the greatest genre of all time, the level of detail throughout parts
1 - 3 and lastly, knowledge based off fact, both grounded in reality while also mixed in with a bit of fantasy.
Thank you so much for this amazing finale to what was my absolute hands down favorite video series on all of YT.
It’s put me onto so many new Comics, Video Games, TV Shows, Movies & Music.
You’ve singlehandedly put me on game to what I now consider the greatest forms of entertainment I’ve ever indulged in.
That now continues growing daily with more deep dives stemming from the gems you’ve dropped trough out part 1 - 3!
Thank You So So Much For This Series!!! 🙏
Honestly without doubt, deserving of an award in my opinion.
Maybe an Emmy or even to the level of a Pulitzer?
Thanks for the high praise! I'm glad you got so much out of it, and I appreciate the comment.
No sir, thank you!
Without you & everybody else’s help who lended a hand in creating this incredible project sacrificing the blood, sweat and tears for 1,400+ hours just to deliver us this & give such an extensive breakdown + going all the way to the core of this genre is why I commented and give you praise.
If all TH-camrs had given this level of effort and attention to detail in their work, the landscape of this entire platform would be absolutely crazy.
But since they don’t, there’s these moments when you happen to come across something so special like these videos you’re creating!
So again thank you 🙏 & keep up making incredible content for all to see.
@@jdiigiii Couldn't agree more. This documentary thoroughly lays out the canon of Cyberpunk for all time, or at least until this simulation ends.
Going to wait for the missus to go out, order a take away and get this party started! You, my man, are a legend. Thank you
This was the best documentary series I've ever seen on youtube. Great work.
What a great documentary series. I’m still hoping for Part IV! 🙏🏼
i just saw the 3 videos of this series back to back, i want more!!!!
(amazing work by the way)
the long waiting time for part 3 was totally worth it, that production quality is unrivaled
Was quite pleased this was finally released. Your docs are so entertaining and well produced.
Absolutely unreal. I've now watched all 3 parts (parts 1 and 2 twice!) and I was blown away by this series and can't wait for more content.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my work! These are massive projects to work on mostly solo, so I can't promise Part 4 will be out anytime soon, but it will release eventually.
@@Indigo_Gaming your work is inspiring and worth the wait!
I will wait as long as I have to but please make sure part 4, this is amazing work
This is one of the most amazing works i found on TH-cam. There's SO much to unpack. The whole series is worth multiple rewatches. Thank you all that were part of this for this amazing piece of art, information and so much more. This has been an experience.
Comment for the algorithm brother. Appreciate the hard work and the commitment, can't wait to get home from work with a cold beer and watch.
That was so good that I think I'm gonna re-binge these
Hey man! Glad you enjoyed. Took a lot of work putting these together.
@@Indigo_Gaming I can tell, your stuff is awesome great!
ive re-binged these probably weekly. im hoping for part 4.
All I can think as I wrap up part 3 this morning
This is history that is yet to be tought in school. A truly masterful compilation that can reconnect those who feel disconnected from "reality".
Snow Crash is one of my all time favorite books. Thanks for the video.
Oh man I remember playing the System Shocks when I was a kiddo. Scared the crap out of me but I was absolutely fascinated. Shodan is one of the best Cyberpunk antagonists of all time.
