I would buy a 360 just for that, chummer.
I never played the genesis version, only the snes is there any difference between the 2?
I would buy 3 360s for the game... if it wasnt teh suck that is.
I <3 Shadowrun.
The Genesis version is closer to the PNP game, is less linear, and has a nonexistant storyline. It aslo has a wicked cool cyberspace minigame.Originally Posted by pfreak
The SNES was equally good, just different.
Is this 360 version just going to be a FPS? That tagline is suspect...
What?
FPS or third person action is fine by me, just please god don't let it be some turn based rule based tripe.
I want to *live* in the shadowrun world, not roll dice in it.
Do YOU remember the story from the Genesis version?
I FAR prefer the SNES version, but I can see why people like the Genesis version. I still have a copy of it, although I no longer have the SNES one...oh the horror! Anyway, in the Genesis version, I had no idea what to do.
I had no idea what to do in the snes. I kept renting the game at blockbuster so I played it at different stages, one was in a hacking part, another in a junkyard.
I love the SNES version, I replay it regularly. Can beat the game in 3-4 hours nowadays.
SNES Shadowrun was actually one of my favorite SNES games. It took me forever as a kid to figure out how to get the damn ticket.
I'll play. I never could find a local PnP Shadowrun group here in town. I have the Genesis version as well.
The PnP game was great if you like playing with different character types and min/maxing and such. The RP possibilities were interesting too. HOWEVER, the system was broken. You could easily create characters that could not be killed by pistol shot to the head at point blank range (or even injured, for that matter). You had to have HUGE guns or super-powered spells. Still, I had a lot of fun with the game.
It's a FPS.
But is it a FPS like Halo, or is it a FPS like System Shock 2/Deus Ex?
If it's an rpg/fps hybrid game that would be pretty awesome. A straight up FPS, meh, not as excited.
I was hoping for something more like Knights of the Old Republic, a RPG-FPS could work too, especially if it leans more towards Vampire than Deus Ex. I can't imagine they'd do a pure FPS, as that misses out on all the potential Shadowrun brings to the table. Then again, I kind of hope it's lame, so I'm not enticed into getting a 360...
I was told it was a FPS, no specifics.
FASA Studios has shown that they are technically talented but creatively they are really lacking. Mechwarrior 4 was forgettable and Crimson Skies 2 was nearly shitcanned until they brought in an outside producer to punch up the storyline and gameplay. Unless they've drastically changed in the past two years (always possible) I wouldn't get too excited.
... Fuck.
At least it's also for PC. But... fuck.
Why'd they have to cartoonify the style? Sigh. Shadowrun is supposed to be dark, not cute.
Trying to stay positive because what Gitelman says in his intro there rings somewhat true, but still...
holy buckets. From what I'm reading there, it's not really Shadowrun. It's Counterstrike. In Brazil. With some FPS-y magic wands thrown in to boot.
I guess it might be too much to hope for cyberpunk GTA or Oblivion in the Seatac Sprawl, but cripes. Fuck is right.
I got more of a Battlefronts vibe, but with elves....in Brazil.
Ugh
Someday the Shadowrun NWN mod will release

Thing is, the absolute one thing they needed to get right for it to be a shadowrun game was the setting. That's the one thing. You don't fuck with the setting, lore, or history. You don't fuck with the visual style. They could've done anything with it -- made it a third person action extravaganza, hallway FPS shooter, or Deus Ex, or hell, even a turn based strategy game. Any of that would have been awesome if only they'd gotten the setting right.
Seriously, this highlights a nasty growing trend of abusing an IP just to say a game has an IP. If they want to make a Jak inspired FPS CTF shooter, then FFS, just make up some shit IP. The only people who know about the Shadowrun name are the people who will be the least likely to buy this atrocity.
What's the point? Seriously?
It really does sound like they are wasting the license. Looks to be a CS clone with Magic thrown in. Doesn't even seem like it will take advantage of Deckers at all, which they could still do in a multiplayer game but looks like they wont touch them. Looks like a very disapointing use of the license. Could still turn out good I guess, but I'm not getting that kind of vibe off it. Reminds me of that Might & Magic CS clone released a few years back, sigh.
Well this sucks. I went from must-buy to don't-even-think-about-it. :(
I briefly saw the trailer while the booth was still being built today. Certainly didn't look like an RPG there. Also, I'm not really a fan of that art direction.

Was just thinking about the genesis version the other day. Oblivion of all thing reminded me of it. It was the first game where I ignored the main plot and just wandered around and did random missions.
That being said even if this isn't the game I would have prefered I would still probably play this one. I like counterstrike, and some of the things mentioned on the site look cool to me. The ability to use infared, teleport and and kill someone with a sword, how can you not like that?
Teleport? Afaik only one guy in the P'n'P setting could do that, and he was tens of thousands of years old.
Unless you get to play as him. That would be all kinds of awesome. And weird. But awesome.
I don't think the developers care. I think they are just making up the rules as they go along and saying "hey magic, wouldn't it be cool to...."
Are they focusing on the sports/arena part of the Shadowrun world only?
