why not get vista, then?

 

Probably cos it'll suck balls for the first 18 months whilst they work on the 2nd edition.

There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts

@Hellgate. Are you sure that it is only for Vista? I thought it was for the older Windows as well.

According to M$'s "vista launch titles article thing" it is.

Most modern computers couldn't even run Vista currently, that's why it sucks. Gotta love Microsoft, PC gaming is already in a rough spot so their solution is to make it even more expensive by forcing people to buy new, fancy systems just to play games that aren't even that technologically demanding.

 

I'll have to pass on a Shadowrun squad-based shooter. What a grotesque misuse of an established, interesting RPG setting.

To think I used to be a Microsoft fan. Now they are starting to annoy me.

Same here.

A multiplayer FPS huh? Kinda weak. I guess they (Fasa) don't have the talent to make a decent CRPG. That usually often happens when the smart people leave or get fired, and only ass digger and "Yes sayers" remain. The result is either a WoW or a CS clone. LOL.

Btw what's that hype with Vista and Xbox360 crap? Anybody looked at those screenshots? Is it just me or do they look somewhat.... 1998ish?

FASA?

 

FASA's dead.

 

Been dead for a loooooooooong time.

No they were devoured from M$. Though I can imagine that FASA Studios is not quite the same anymore than FASA Interactive from the good ol' days... Doesn't matter. Multiplayer sucks, and even if Obsidian would come up with a MP Shadowrun game, I wouldn't buy it.

They are making a MP DnD game.

A shadowrun game built like NWN/2 would rock :blink:

I want to see a Shadowrun game like Deus Ex, just bigger and better. Hell yeah I want that NOW!

 

Agreed :blink:

 

That's what I kept hoping this would be, so you can imagine my disappointment ;)

Ok, I just watched a rather long preview that I downloaded off my 360. I died a little inside. It was like Unreal Tournament with magic. It looked great, but any resemblance to the Shadowrun PnP game dies at the concept of American Indians versus Techies. I wanted to reach in and strangle the design team for raping one of my favorite licenses.

That's not even a real concept of American Indian vs techies this (3drealms.com) is a real concept of American Indian vs techies. =P

 

More on topic, I'm also dissapointed to see they decided to take the license and not really use it at all. It also looked sub par to many of the other FPS games that were shown for the 360 this E3. Dissapointing use of an interesting license and most likely a dissapointing game by itself.

"of games that will be available for Microsoft's new operating system Vista in January of 2007" seems to indicate that those games will be able to run on Vista, not exclusively.

 

 

 

I'm hoping for the best.

I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows

 

'Cause I won't know the man that kills me

and I don't know these men I kill

but we all wind up on the same side

I spotted Jenny Macarthy and Dave Nevarro playing Shadowrun at E3, so it must be good, right?

Who and who? :huh:

A Playboy Playmate and a musician.

So, people of no relevance.
