	Blade Runner: un'analisi del film-culto di Ridley Scott - Cinemania
		Blade Runner non arriva a mettere in dubbio lo statuto ontologico della realtà, il valore di verità e credibilità dell’immagine, non riesce a raggiungere la lucidità e profondità visionaria propria dello sguardo cyberpunk.
		Blade Runner, proprio come nella narrativa cyberpunk, è l’ambiente a portare il peso della narrazione, mentre i personaggi assumono una forma quasi fumettistica, privi come sono di approfondimento psicologico, si pensi in particolare a Deckard, che sembra non superare le convenzioni del genere poliziesco.
		Blade Runner “gli FX non sono stati fatti per essere i protagonisti della scena, sono stati concepiti unicamente in funzione della storia”[35].

	Media Fix: Symbolic Action: Performance in the Blade Runner Videogame
		Blade Runner, like many other games in the adventure/RPG genre (and many games in general), is appealing due to its "uncovering" of boundless and interrelated narrative worlds, full of opportunities for action and investigation.

		The Voight-Kampff is a polygraph-like machine used by the LAPD's Blade Runner units to assist in the testing of an individual to see if they are a replicant or not.
		The VK is used primarily by Blade Runners to determine if a suspect is truly human by measuring the degree of his empathic response through carefully worded questions and statements.
		The Voight-Kampff machine is perhaps analogous to (and may have been partly inspired by) Alan Turing's work which propounded an artificial intelligence test – to see if a computer could convince a human (by answering set questions, etc.) that it was another human.

		No one is immune to this, not even accomplished game developers; with every leap in hardware, videogame developers are using more and more elements that have traditionally been grounded in movies and implementing them now into their games.
		One developer in particular, Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of the Final Fantasy series, once said that he has always wanted to be a film director and with every release of the Final Fantasy series, he nears closer to his dream.
		The organic look and feel of the Gardens (the schools where SeeD candidates are trained) relaxes the predictable sci-fi angle that was the foundation of the FF series and the results are marvelous.

	HD DVD Review: Constantine \| High-Def Digest
		Weisz's skeptical Angela is also physically reminiscent of Sean Young in 'Blade Runner,' mixed in with a bit of 'X-Files' Scully.
		And as aided by Philippe Rousselot's dark cinematography and director Francis Lawrence's edgy pacing, 'Constantine' so co-opts 'Blade Runner's overall look and feel that I kept expecting Daryl Hannah to come bouncing in dressed as a demon and do an acrobatic routine.
		This isn't to say 'Constantine' is nearly as good of a film as 'Blade Runner.' But Lawrence, working off of an ambitious script by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, at least attempts to integrate more profound ideas into his film than your typical horror/CGI-fest.

		One day, though, the Blade Runner could be used to transport travelers along with their vehicles, much the way Amtrak's Auto Train now works between Florida and suburban Washington, D.C. The improvement would be in Blade Runner's ability to leave the rails for destinations reachable only by road.

		Another thing entirely is that some (old) videogamers may only be aware of the 16-bit era's licenced Shadowrun videogames, which were rpgs.
		Finally the tech was at a point to do the universe justice in a videogame, and I'll be damned if it doesn't seem like the franchise possibilities are over before they even get started.
		The universe has always managed to expand upon the pre-established conventions of it's form, be it videogame or P'n'P. A futuristic FPS with magic is a trite, safe attempt at doing the franchise justice, and a cautionary tale towards the direction which videogame development is heading.
