That looks very much like Edgewater, Huge Crane, Car Park nearby with a bridge over the top of the car park and factories in the distance but the layout suggests it isn't the same place.

And I really like pic 1 for some reason ^^

There can only be room for one Snake, and one Big Boss!

Yeah looks quite like it but the factories look alot more industrial id say.

Yeah, looks kinda like Edgewater, just with more ... pipes.

That given Rarebit, is this an area thats completely seperate or will it be added to another district?

Holy *poop*. This is...just simply amazing. I gotta imagine whatever is left to show area-wise, as well as whatever NPC's, items (questy-things?), etc., as gonna be great too. Awesome job so far, and good luck to 9mmfu testing this place out. Although it looks like you're doing a lot of the testing too.

The one from Neo and Smith's final fight?!?!




That was more in the downtown district. And if they were going to to do that, they might as well copy the landscape since there's large amounts of  data of the layouts they put in the first and third films.

#36300399241 02/03/2008 21:10 Re:Image Retrieval - January 30, 2008
It's looking great.  I don't see this being a construct, at least not like any construct we've seen before.  It's too much work for a place hardly anyone will visit.  Besides, it looks like the rest of the city instead of some other-worldly place.  I'm still thinking it's the aquaduct, or maybe the area northwest of it near the river bank.

All those buildings look like good places to run missions.  I'm hoping they go the whole nine yards and bust open the level cap.  That would mean new abilities too, so I'm not holding my breath.  In any case, I'm sure it's going to be good fun.

If you do do (haha, do do) indoor hardlines, put one in a basement and make it look like this.

Please.

#36300399327 02/03/2008 23:53:56 Re:Image Retrieval - January 30, 2008
Definitely a district, although I'm not sure if it will be accessed the same way.

I actually think that because this area seems (partly) flooded, it will be closed off to the public, which means no bluepills and as I have said already, Rarebit wont have to place paths for Pedestrians and Cars to follow, reducing production time ^_^

I really hope it is a new district mainly because I want to see if it is possible.  I would like to see if they can add a map to the atlas, add an extra destination on the subway (though if this area was closed off to the public, we would need another way to get there), more Hardlines (Indoor ftw!) and then hopefully over time we can match it up to other areas so it has its own contact with missions to learn about the new area, a gang with new collection tokens.  If this is all possible, that means we could be in for some amazing content in the future.

Maybe we can the Abandoned Subway, instead of just for Pandora's Box 4 quest or if you wanna go down and kill the exile boss.

I agree with that. Additionally, a new construct that looks exactly like it should be a part of the city would just be...awkward. The only thing I could see forcing this to be a "city construct" would be if adding on to current district map wasn't a feasible development option.

I considered that earlier this morning.  It reaffirmed my hopes that this is a new neighborhood.  :)

But even then, why is Rarebit making an effort to remove any and all bluepills?  A water treatment plant needs technicians and whatnot to make sure nothing goes wrong. 

I just really hope this isn't going to be the home to any remaining Unlimits, (are there any besides Beirn?)  I know I'm not the only one who would much rather see that portion of the storyline get as deeply burried as possible.

Rarebit: Will we be able to jump into that big hole?  How far down can you make it go?  :D

This could mean that the Bluepills that are present in the building are inappropriate for the setting (ie. non contract workers sitting around etc...)

I'm still crossing my fingers for new district with the Bluepill peds in technician clothing and any sort of HL's which just havent been placed yet...

#36300399538 02/04/2008 09:42:00 Re:Image Retrieval - January 30, 2008
Well I think the reason why Rarebit was removing the blue pills is more of a temporary measure. He'll probably put them up later  when he's done with all the other stuff. As I said before there still seems to be alot of work to do before he can say it's done.
#36300399549 02/04/2008 10:21:08 Re:Image Retrieval - January 30, 2008
I'd go so far as to say that the whole area is now off-limits to the public/Bluepills. It looks like it's in a right state, some of it, and certainly not accessible - unless anyone's suggesting the water treatment workers are flown in by chopper every morning. SMILEY

It would be kewl that the first way to get there was to Hyperjump through obstacles (broken bridges/boat/platforms) If this is a small island on the waters like Alcatraz.

YES! I can't believe MxO doesn't have any varied HL's. Every HL looks the same and is also located outdoors. It would really create some diversity to have different looking exit points that are both in and outside.
