I really like that double decker look on that first city but I bet the people who live or work on the lower level would want a little more sunlight. :P


Still, very neat. Reply

@strideo: surely you know it won't matter what people on the lower level want? Reply

@vinylrake: Yeah. Screw those stupid underdwellers, what are they going to do, revolt? Hah! Reply

@strideo:

They're probably the underclass.


Check out the "Neuromancer" series by William Gibson. It will explain everything. Reply

@ImTheGarbageman: Neuromancer was one book, so you'll want to read it, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive, known as the Sprawl Trilogy. Reply

@Grey_Area: revolutions against the mighty shinra will not be tolerated. the slums of midgar will be crushed by the "accidental" collapse of an upper deck if they're not careful... Reply

@ @dave the wet sprocket: Also, if the game is anything to go on, things will get really ridiclious and nonsensical from there and emo boys will be both the greatest threat the world has ever faced and the only ones who can save us, respectively.


Also, I will want them all to die. Reply

@dave the wet sprocket: Honestly, what are they complaining about. We provide them with all the soma and soylent green they want they should just shut up and watch rollerball and like it. Reply

@strideo: Daylight lamps!


Already around. The Future is now! Reply

@Grey_Area: OT but this reminds me, my girlfriend just had her hip replaced a few months ago (at the age of 21.. fucking rheumatoid arthritis!) and she has a pain pill called Soma! It was at the same time both the coolest and scariest thing I had ever seen. Reply

@RimkaIzumo: Dude i have been starting at your username. It was so familiar and then when you said about your girlfriend having a hip replacement, I realized you must be heathers boyfriend. I remember recognizing your name when was talking about a conversation she had on fb with her dad. You're a sci-fi geek? lmao! HEY EVERYONE WE HAVE HOPE! this guys girlfriend is fucking beautiful. Reply

@RimkaIzumo: and I never comment on these things, but I had to let you know. and that soma thing is fucking creepy. Reply

@strideo: I think they're hinting towards the truly double decker cities that are seen in Deus Ex 2. Reply
