The author of this article first explains what NeoTokyo is and questions whether there could be such a genre as the JFPS. Thematically, NeoTokyo is set around the advent of Japanese transhumanism, so lovers of anime such as Ghost in the Shell, Akira and the like will be right at home with the visual aesthetic. Indeed, there are certain in-game machines and "gynoid" pieces that may set little bells of recognition ringing in your head.
The article should serve as an introduction to anyone interested in trying out NeoTokyo while asking a number of good questions to further discussion of the genre.
Titanfall who? The best multiplayer shooter of the year so far is a mod for a 10-year-old game, and it’s free. The game is called NeoTokyo, a cyberpunk tactical multiplayer shooter that feels a lot like Ghost in the Shell crossed with Counter-Strike.
NeoTokyo's real good, but it's been around for a loooong time already. It's not exactly new. Unless there's a new version or update or something?
I wasn't really familiar with this game, but I am a CS fan so I will check it out. It says it didn't OFFICIALLY launch until July 4th.
looks good! found it on steam so downloading now! played hidden source recently and thats really good at a LAN

Avoiderdragon: Big mod projects tend to get some hype, like the Misery mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the Long War mod for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and the Skywind mod for Skyrim that attempts to add an updated version of the whole Morrowind game into it. However, these projects can take quite a bit of time, even years spent on perfecting them. For instance, the Black Mesa total conversion mod for Half-Life 2 had been in the works for 8 years and its initial release was on September 2012, which came out to pretty good reviews. Just recently, another one of these Half-Life 2 mods has come up to the surface, and it could be worth a look.
burn it with fire...
This game's right up my alley. It gave off a pretty strong Deus Ex-ish vibe that just about captured my interest the moment I played it.
JFPS?
Just call it an FPS you nubs.
japan can make whatever the hell they want. and JFPS is not a genre of games, just like JRPGs and WRPGs are not genres of games. however RPG and FPS is are genres of games.
The people who made this mod were from Texas, GG
