It was practically a rip off of GITS in its early dev stages. I did a lot of research on it a few years ago trying to track its evolution.

Bad dev team at Bungie West. They had an architect doing level design, and then other idiots doing the bad jumping puzzles. Neither worked. Thankfully they got better at later games.
Bad Engine, original story draft was derivative as fuck and had to be rewritten, cross platform slowed things up, and they kept trying to work in faulty multiplayer code. By the time the game was overdue they needed to cut multiplayer, a couple of boss fights, and even a level or so I've heard. This cram prevented them from making the necessary story revisions and design changes to level pacing to make the game more engaging. By the time it released its engine was outdated, and looked antiquated by comparison to Max Payne which came out a year later.

Story boils down to bio-enhanced girl cop girl working for a oppressive totalitarian government goes on a rampage after finding out her whole existence was a lie. Beats up cops and syndicate criminals.

>couldn't reconfigure
Now, with the demo I remember you could edit the key mapping in one of the config files - it was pretty straightforward. No idea how it is with the full version.

Of course, these days you just run Joy to Key or similar and remap that.

I remember my wrist hurting from the PC demo's default controls, by the way.

I'm guessing Shogo was better, but don't really know.

Was given it by a friend last year.

Tossed it into a drawer and never looked back after the horrible controls kept me from getting through the tutorial.

Fuck Rockstar.

Sounds exactly like Halo honestly. Both Halo and Halo 2 cut levels like a boss and Halo nearly had its LAN removed, with crazy last minute crams. Which results in weird anomalies like Cortana having randomly British dialogue in some cutscenes, and you know, playing through half the game backwards with zombies.

Thanks for the wayback trip to horrible memories, OP. Yeah - I had this piece-of-shit title. It sucked balls so many different ways, they should have just named it "Filthy Whore" and called it a day. Graphics sucked - even compared to other games of the same era - it had the already mentioned awful, bland level designs combined with lots of bugs. Fucking bugs everywhere. If you want to play a game just to see how we raged on paying good money for a turd, by all means grab the megaupload file.
Real shame, as it could have had great potential as a franchise.

I though it was odd that one of the major areas of Halo Reach was Oni Tower.

I'd be massively shocked of they actually did make another Oni game but, I'd love one regardless.

I want Oni 2, Severence: Blade of Darkness 2 Homeworld 3 and System Shock 3.

True, ONI is a real thing. However, Bungie DID make ONI, so it's obviously a reference too.

Don't be a dick unless you check your facts.

IIRC, Oni sold very few copies. Bungie lost a lot of money on it.

That wouldn't surprise me considering it got very little in the way of advertising, and it kinda came out before "anime/manga" was really that wide spread in the west.

The game wasn't perfect but it was fucking brilliant, one of the coolest melee combat systems in any 3rd person shooter for a good many years if not ever.
