Right? I just love the aesthetic too. The whole "Nasapunk" style just gives the whole game a optimistic feeling, for lack of a better word. If humanity got our collective asses in gear, we could achieve something like New Atlantis.

DF have done a stellar job over this fake-E3 run. Enjoyed their commentary across all the showcase videos.
