I know this isn't the first time Blade Runner has infuenced a computer game (ever played G-Police?), but I was playing Timespitters 2 on a freinds PS2 the other day, and we were playing the NeoTokio level. Now, this level is a blatent rip off of Blade Runner, right down to the trafficator type things (that make the same noice, but don't talk) to the fact that the police cars ARE spinners (no, really, they look exactly the same). Do you think this is a rip off, or a 'homage' to Blade Runner?

Hey tomtrek, I keep hearing that TimeSplitters 2 is really good. Is that true? I was thinking about getting it. I recently got to play The Thing and it was pretty awesome!<BR><BR>

Nexus6 is probably correct... a little bit of both.<BR>I heard the first TimeSplitters was good - never played it tho'. Gotta play this new BR'ed version now just to see.<BR>Hey endzem... I actually felt <!-- BBCode Start --><I>cold</I><!-- BBCode End --> while immersed in the atmosphere of The THING... or maybe it was only from sitting on my a$s for so long <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Hey endzem, despite it being on a Playstation 2/ X Box/ whatever *spit* (long story), its actually quite good. Go for it, and pretend your Deckard on the neotokio levels. <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

If you say "2019" on its own, I think of Blade Runner. If you mention "Neo Tokyo" in the same sentence, then I think of Akira.

Yes, but.. L.A.2019 in BR is <!-- BBCode Start --><I>very</I><!-- BBCode End --> Asian... As will be (IMHO) much of the world in the future, I think. At least in the big cities.<BR> <BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Gene Ettix on 2002-10-29 12:55 ]</font>
