There are a few reasons that point to NeoTokyo coming out soon, one of them being that I myself have played the mysterious mod and can comment on how great the entire presentation was (mind you this was going on 5 months since I played it), how great at that point the gameplay was. There is more other reason which only came to me today, by post infact.
Ed Harrisons fantastic soundtrack for NeoTokyo arrived at my door step today, and it was not just a non-labeled white CD like you would expect but a well presented folding out case that really did shock me with the amount of care and love put into it. With 27 tracks spanning 2 CD's I can honestly say it's worth the pennies to both support the developers and to get your hands on some amazing work. Listening to it now reminds me why a good soundtrack does not disappoint and can only benefit a mod. So you can find more info and place your orders here for Ed's new CD. For now here is a sample track so you can have some idea on what to expect!
Why do you always get your stuff in the mail before me? Kangaroo mail is faster than I thought, I guess...
Ed is in Sydney which is in Australia. Naturally mine would arrive faster!
The Neotokyo soundtrack is amazing, I wish all mod soundtracks could display the amount of care in composition and arangement as Neotokyo's
To most mods, a Soundtrack isn't even a secondary concern, it doesn't exist. :P
That's why NeoTokyo feels so professional also. I feel like a RETAIL game is getting released here. Soundtrack is on par with most major video game titles Soundtracks. I mean, Goldeneye Source took their soundtracks from the N64 version, improved the sound quality, added a few effects and called it macaroni.
I also love how so many prominent figures od Moddb are fans of it. :P
I wish I was a prominent figure..
I got a package for you...
meh
I want that soundtrack though :P
