Hokay, I'm replaying DX:HR this time going a much more hardcore stealth route (I was stealth first time too, but with silenced pistol, this time im going nonlethal). Anywho, having beaten the game once I noticed that there seem to be cutscenes missing? If you watch the review of the game at IGN you'll see a scene that stars the invisibly augmented woman and also a scene where Adam has wings and flies close to the sun and gets torched like Icarus. I dont recall seeing any of those during the game. Any of you have any idea about this? Also, if you have any secret areas you've found that you think most people have overlooked, post a hint here (try to be ambiguous so we have a lead, but not the secret itself).

Pretty sure those "cutscenes" were actually just created as promotional material.

Yeah, basically it was put together by the large animation studio at square enix, before everything was fully finalized with HR.
It was intended as a promotional trailer mostly, so some things changed for the final game, and the Icarus thing was mostly a parallel.
In the end nothing of squareenix animations were used ingame (with the exception of the augmentation-sequence), the pre-rendered cutscens in HR was as far as I know pre-rendered using all the in-game assets.
But yeah, SQ-E's animation-studio did some awesome work on that.

Ok, so as they say, God is definitely in the details. On this new play through, I've scoured every inch of Detroit, I'm not even done yet, and I've spent -all day- doing this. The police station alone contained a ton of stuff I had completely missed the first time.
