I envision a short-hair-era Angelina Jolie gliding in on a hoverboard, clad in Chemical Brothers-orange cargo pants, to deliver this idea to the minds of Harmonix Studios. Their surprise announcement of *A City Sleeps* is a gnarly throwback to all things ’90s: Treasure-style shooters, a character named Poe, an *Aeon Flux* ink style, the notion of electronic music as a sci-fi savior. There’s nothing coy or winking about their evocation of the *Wipeout* era, which is what sells it, or, really, any other “retro” styled thing.

Due out this October, the game has you entering the dreams of a city’s inhabitants to make hot beats, or something. The Steam page warns that a “Microsoft Xbox 360® Controller for Windows® (or equivalent) is strongly recommended,” which, along with the trailer, seems to warn of some real bullet-hell shit.

Can I fit a *Toonami* reference into this thing? You can preorder it [on Steam](http://store.steampowered.com/app/316180?ref=killscreen.com) now.
