-We can’t ignore that there should be advanced tech by the time of Oni. Perhaps the WCG wants to use it in place of (or to fight) the Daodan. It will seem to be an even match-up at first, but eventually the Daodan will win because it is more advanced and evolves faster. Cf. Paradox’s nanomachines.
+We can’t ignore that there should be a lot more obviously advanced tech by the time of Oni than we see in the first game. We can show more of Oni's technological world in Oni 2. Perhaps the WCG dives into cutting-edge tech as a way to fight the Daodan, or deal with the BioCrisis without the Daodan and the ACCs. When this tech goes up against the Daodan, it will seem like an even match-up at first, but eventually the Daodan will win because it is more sophisticated and evolves faster.
-Also, technology is always further along than we think it is. The Germans used [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8WQTtYyn6E robots] in WWII. We can currently create hover technology using [[wp:Magnetic_levitation|magnets]] and [[Superdiamagnetism|extreme cold]]. And there’s always someone trying to push the envelope, even if history forgets them: da Vinci and his [[wp:Leonardo%27s_robot|robot knight]], Zadoc Dederick’s [[wp:Zadoc_Dederick|Daniel Lambert]], etc.
+When will strong AI make any real advancement? Isn’t the Singularity predicted by Oni 2’s time? Might some large nation with the resources, like China, have a neural network that is being trained by surfing the Internet? This could serve as a nod to Oni’s erstwhile “constrained neural net” as well as to Ghost in the Shell’s Puppet Master.
+As for future weaponry, see [[Heavy weapons]] for ideas.
+Also see:

+*[[wp:Utility_fog|Utility fog]] (this ties into Paradox's nanotech ideas)
