Crafeksterty:
But then theres very little dieselpunk in there also. How is guns of icarus dieselpunk? Ive explained why its steampunk, why is it dieselpunk?

Again, i think you are dismissing alot of things in goio that makes it more steampunky than dieselpunky which i see very little of.

Maybe open a new thread.

Richard LeMoon:
Diesel power instead of steam power. Post World War instead of pre-World War. Focus on guns and war instead of adventure. Survival over aesthetics in design for the most part. Though that sort of eliminates both, as Steampunk is often about beauty in mechanics, and Dieselpunk is about beauty in design. These ships are stripped to the bare minimum to put them in the air. They are't pretty, but they work.

And frankly, the design is not very Victorian at all.

All in all, Guns is a mutt. A mixed breed of different designs and aesthetics. Call it Airpunk. :P

Crafeksterty:
Airpunk, i like that.

Still though, its impossible to see goio as dieselpunk. When the game is so insentive and sounding of steampunk. Not to mention the looks and feel of it.
Its like saying shadowrun is fantasy because of trolls and elves, but no mention of the overgrown evidence in technology and culture which makes it mostly cyberpunk.

When people see goio, they will go "Oh yeah thats steampunk".
They are borrowing dieselpunk stuff (Which i think is cool and fitting because...) to get away with unbelievable elements
Those airplanes on coop wouldnt be there if it wasnt for dieselpunk influence. (Even though they are weak as shit)

As much as i like Airpunk its just very weak in terms of defining goio.

Punk defenitions are hard to boil down too, i wouldnt blame Muse if they have a hard time.
Oh and

The reason why i jumped on "This isnt dieselpunk" because the images by Top shows something that just wouldnt fit goio in anyway. And then saying goio is dieselpunk.
I can see the walkers being implemented but in the style of goio, in which it would be more exposed with less protection. Just not in anyway the same as those images.
Ide love to see something as crazy as the bosses of metal slug, but that would also be unfitting.

David Dire:
Actually the airplanes were from the original goio, which is Definately Dieselpunk, so, no.

Also, the Devs themselves said GoIO was Dieselpunk, and many others would agree.

In fact, building off my firsy point, the Icarus was dieselpunk with small Steampunk influence. Just like we're saying.

Carn:
Its plausible that it utilizes both technologies. Dieselpunk is more complicated and expensive when compared to Steampunk. The engines for example are obviously dieselpunk, but their complexity and the cost of fuel could make it that other equipment is steampunk. However i do have to agree that it is more diesel by the sheer fact that their is electricity in the game. Just fly around on Raid on the Refinery, you'll see plenty of electric lights
