:O
Is that over by Chelsea?
WOOT!!! POWERPLANT!!! Wait... I thought 't sploded already???
Crikey, it's certainly shaping up. By the looks of things, Rarebit (plus whoever else is working on it) has cracked open the building prefabs and added one. Now I've really got no idea how big this is going to be. 
I'm still convinced it's new, though, not tacked onto an existing area.

O.o
This is shaping up to look rather EPIC!

Exquisite.
Well... those of you that know me know that I'm not exactly a pillar of positivity. It's honestly been a very, very long time since I've felt this way in reference to this game...
I am officially excited.
Nice.
I don't want to jinx it, but...this looks rather district-like to me.
It has to be a new district, we have seen a garbage dump with broken bridges and now a power plant with a well kept building in the back ground, unless they are going to rebundle all 4 of the districts we have now (which would be basically like re-downloading the game) we must be getting a new district with both well kept areas and derilict areas.
Awesome super curry sauce! ^_^
I just can't get as excited as everyone else is. Too much tease, I can't get excited over a 'new area' I haven't yet seen.
Odd. Exciting, intruiging, but odd. Our last few teases have featured areas surrounded by water, but the area in this image looks like it's on the city floor.
And I've tossed out my worries about this being a new construct when I've been hoping for a new district. The keyword is "new". We're getting something genuinely new. Plain and simple.
Looking forward to it! :)
Hmm perhaps one of those spots on the map that are highlighted like districts but not ingame...
Please put on bazman 400 useropts and take more screenshots.

Rarebit sure loves to TEASE! 
What?!?! Where?!?! When!?!?! I want DETAILS!! *sigh*
I'm just all /giggly
MORE!
hmmmm
if its a power plant, what kinda NPCs will be there? I recall something being said that the zombies that were used in the halloween event were originally supposed to be workers from a powerplant that exploded or something like that. The power from the plant kept the workers alive but their code rotted or somthing which is why they looked like zombies.
I could be way off, but i remember reading that somewhere.

hmmmmEven though people don't like them, Unlimit would make sense in the power plant.

Yeah, I recall Paul mentioning that the Zobmies were intended for the Power Plant, but since we get them for Halloween, I doubt they'll be there too. Unlimits would make sense, but everyone's sick of them. Maybe we'll get new npcs? Regardless, this is some truly epic work!

Don't give them that idea!!!
Maybe some sort of Mutated Power plant worker....wait...thats a zombie.....I don't know what the NPC could be...

But.. but.. we don't get new! Everything we've had since Blue Sky has been recycled content! Everything! Even the Area K Trench!And I've tossed out my worries about this being a new construct when I've been hoping for a new district. The keyword is "new". We're getting something genuinely new.

I think it is because February is next month they are getting their hopes up.
Next patch is in February, so most people are assuming this stuff will be out for that update.
It must be a new district. It wouldn't make sense to have these things in a construct. Remember all of the other constructs are based off of previous iterations/machine civilization.

I guess the powerplant idea fits with the earlier pictures. If the powerplant did get blown up, whose to say that explosion didn't take out a bridge or nearby road as well.
It's one hell of an undertaking though. Plus it has to pass QA. It wouldn't suprise me if the release of it coincides with a large event on the calender...
Yeah, that looks like a new district to me. Either way, I'm looking forward to this.
Less teasing more explaining plsss!
One word - EPIC!
If it truly is a new district with new NPC's and new mission contacts and collectors and gangs, then I highly doubt it will be out on 2/21/08, as my sig states.
But a man can dream.
The industrial area could be the Sewer Treatment Plant where Morpheus was killed. I remember people talking about how much they wished that it and the garbage barge were actually ingame.

Already had one of those in Halloween '06.
Hmm... Sleepwalkers with blue code eyes?
That's right.. we've reached a high plateau in terms of excitement now and we're all waiting with baited breath to find out the real deal behind these images.

Well, the rest of the areas that are highlighted as soon-to-be districts are much smaller than the current ones. I would guess that this is a district with possibly only one or 2 areas within it. Like a new Richland with only Mara and Tabor in it. If it was just one new district with only one area in it then it would require only 1 new gang and 1 new collector and maybe 1 new mission contact. Still a considerable task but not one as daunting as creating a totally new Downtown size district.
I just don't see it as a new area that's not a district.
