When the sirens blare, we don't scatter—we converge.
Every back alley, every hole in the wall, and very rooftop is a branch in our collective defense.

This city doesn't sleep, It just grinds.
No one can recall a time when the smog ceiling didn’t prevent light from penetrating. We’ve only ever known perpetual darkness.

Every inch of this city clings to you like grease to a sewage pipe.
You’ll be carrying that soot on the bottom of your feet from one hellhole to another, unless you live under the order of the System.

Former id Software artist argues performance and optimization are 'as much of an art problem' as a tech one: 'Killzone 2 looks incredible today. FEAR looks incredible today'
Defect lead Emanuel Palalic thinks leaning into this mindset from early development will leave the game optimized as well as pretty.

The System’s Police will find any way to upload the data, reboot local systems and remove any trace of them to complete their objective.
We’ll hold our ground using any and all means. There won’t be any breaching tonight.

In this neon soaked cityscape, the Law is a blueprint for cruelty, etched onto the backs of the powerless. The only way to survive is to choose chaos above all.

It’s a shame these bio-tech advancements are being squandered in a hidden secret room like this.
The gang faction is known for having these highly illegal tools at their disposal. Some will say the orchestrator had it coming.
