In Response To: Prequel or addon levels (Dave)

: I don't think that putting new stuff at the end of the story would be a good
: idea. What is there left to do? The world is in ruins, and there's no one
: to fight (at least no one interesting).

There's always plenty of people to fight. Just because the current world power has been overthrown doesn't mean that there isn't somebody else waiting to take over.

: A prequel would be hard to do, but if it was, you could possibly play Muro as
: he takes over the Syndicate, fights the TCTF, and/or works on the
: Sturmanderung project. The only problem with this is that you'd have to
: lose (the bad guys can't win, right? At least they shouldn't)

The bad guys can win temporarily: If you make the game focus on muros rise to power, it will end with him winning when he gains control of the syndicate.

: I think that a good idea would be to add levels into the old story line, and
: to change some cutscenes, journal entries, etc. to match with the changes.
: I think a cool level could be after level 8 (inside the atmo processor).
: Konoko could be sneaking around back alleys, streets, etc. and avoiding
: cops to get to the regional state building. This could make a whole urban
: chapter (this addition, the reg state build, and the roofs), like the Muro
: pursuit one (Bio lab and airports 1 and 2). You'd have to use stealth to
: avoid being spotted and to keep police from calling in more units to get
: you.

Oh, there's a good way to keep dramatic tension and story continuity. Seriously, I don't think the events that take place in the first game take enough time that you could realisticaly put another storyline involving konoko in between episodes and have a lengthy, and engrossing plot(either it would be short, realtime, broken up between oni 1 levels, or it would change the plot of the original in some way... or of course, it could involve some other character.)
