They are hitting alpha soon, so I guess that we can kiss our hopes for a 2005 launch goodbye. I am kind of worried by the "no cutscenes" stand. As crude as they were, SiN's cut scenes helped a lot to develop the plot and explain what was going on. I hope that Shawn is talking about no cut scenes with Blade in them, as it's pretty difficult to know what's Elexis up to without them.
