Not so, not so.

I have New Seattle in my hot little hands even as we speak!
I'm still reading through it, but so far I like what I see.
Nice coverage of the local tribes and gangs.
Good outline of local politics.
EXCELLENT index of locations in the back! Very useful for generating quick
locales, or seeing where everything is in relation to other things. (Can we
sneak through the sewers from the Arcology to the Pyramid???)

So, yeah - it's out. It looks a LOT better than the last couple releases.
Oh ye of little faith. ;-)

Me..hahaha...I always have faith, glad to hear its out, and that it
might be worth the wait. Time to harass my local hobby shop
again.

I wasn't too impressed with the first half of the book, since
they basically did a recap of every supplement relevant to Seattle...
(Quick summaries of Tir Tairngire, CalFree, UB, Shadowbeat, Super
Tuesday, Mob War, R:AS (which is still closed off and surrounded by
UCAS troops), quick recap from the original Seattle on demographics)
However, they added some interesting tidbits in these
sections, mostly in the Shadowtalk, and it seems that over half the
book is new. They spend much more time with the overall feel of each
district, rather than spend 2 paragraphs on little bars and tourist
attractions(which are now a table in the back). Until now, I really
had no idea what kind of architecture differences existed between the
Redmond and Pullayup barrens. Overall, better than I could possibly
expect from a revision of an old book.
If you don't have all the old books though, this is definitely
worth getting, and even if you do, it's still good.

PS- I'm getting *real* sick of heading about the Gates clan though...
