[[Image:1998 trailer splash.jpg|thumb|right|Bungie fans noted the similarity between this Oni art and [[:Image:GitS manga volume 4 cover.jpg|THIS]] Ghost in the Shell manga cover.]] | |||
At the time this trailer was made, Oni had only been in development for a year. There was probably no actual gameplay footage that the team felt was decent enough, so this CG trailer was produced by the two main artists for the game, Alex Okita and Chris Hughes, as well as Steve Abeyta. Abeyta revealed in an {{OCF}} thread that "[i]t was my first try at animating since I was hired on as an environment artist." His skills would improve amazingly by the time Oni was released. | At the time this trailer was made, Oni had only been in development for a year.
