Flying cars seem to have become a thing of the past. Where once we were practically promised that we’d one day be soaring above the streets during the morning commute, we’ve now accepted that, yeah, maybe that’s not such a good idea. People can barely drive when they have four wheels on the pavement; putting them hundreds of meters into the air just means they have further to fall when they botch parallel parking.
But it was a nice dream. Movies like Bladerunner and The Fifth Element offer a tantalizing peek into the air traffic nightmare that is flying cars. Rows of soaring lumps of metal speeding through the air between massive neon-lit skyscrapers. It’s dazzling.
It’s an aesthetic we haven’t seen much in video games, so how about a game that is all about it. Cloudpunk is essentially Flying Car: The Game, and it knows it.
