Upcoming Shadowrun game site opens


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.
