Why does the “Apogee” in game look so much different than David’s in the anime even tho its the same model?

By


David’s seems to connect directly into his skeleton and matches the shape of his spine while the one in game looks significantly smaller and completely different. I’m having a hard time visualizing where this goes on V’s body it doesn’t seem like it would link up the same way David’s did.

    David’s seemed to be a test prototype version, while the one that exists in 2077 is a market version that seems to be more usable to more people, the spinal cord one David had was extremely heavy on the body and mind, to sell it as an actual product they likely had to make it put less stress on the user and less powerful.

    Because there was never a description of what a sandevistan looked like, or where exactly it was implanted prior to Edgerunners. They just made one up

    It’s not the same model. Made by the same company yes, but David’s was an experimental sandevistan whereas the sandevistans in game aren’t experimental or military grade. According to JGray it only used to be an apogee but is now so heavily modified it isn’t comparable anymore.

    Because it’s a comprehensive spine and nervous system implant and I’m assuming that’s just the main processing goober that talks to the rest of the users implants and not the whole thing

    Because a “realistic” Sandy would require much more than just a mod to your brain and spine, it would be a whole rework of the human body. So this falls under creative liberties from the creators.

    Actually, someone today have posted the same question, and got a very good/reliable answer, dunno from this sub or another one. That’s is the same, and even gave a screenshot from the show itself, but in the show the sandy is connected to a neurolink which is not in the game.

    The picture you provided is the sandevistan itself, its small, and you can actually see it in the shot in the tv show when he has it hooked up and is checking out its stats, the spine part is just what makes it connect to your senses or whatev.

    Thats just the part that connects to the brain, the spine one could be to reinforce the user spine to handle the load (it was made up for the anime anyway).
