ShadySands Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 $1,895,772 is the final total Free games updated 3/4/21
ShadySands Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Survey for the second city went out today. I voted for an expanded Seattle but the fact that was even an option worries me a little. Free games updated 3/4/21
Hurlshort Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I also voted for expanded Seattle. It makes sense, it is a huge part of the game, an area like Renraku Tech is going to be huge. I want them to wait on the other cities for sequels.
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Voted for Berlin. Can't really remember non-WWII/cold war titles that have it, and the Shadowrun Berlin sounds an interesting place.
Majek Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I voted expanded Seattle too. Let them perfect the first city first, then add others. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Oner Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Voted for London, because I dig underground cities. Berlin, Chicago and more Seattle were tempting too.

ShadySands Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Looks like Hong Kong is winning, followed by Berlin, with more Seattle in third. Free games updated 3/4/21
Oner Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Aw crap, not Hong Kong. ._. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
Hurlshort Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Aw crap, not Hong Kong. ._. Hong Kong did have a pretty awesome sourcebook.
Starwars Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I haven't read the sourcebooks but I guess my fear is that the aesthetics will just look like the classic cyberpunk thing... with lots of Asian influences. Like what we see in Blade Runner, and of course moreso in Heng-Sha from Deus Ex: HR. Not that I don't find that appealing (I actually love it), but something like Berlin would feel a bit more unique and interesting I think. But hey, perhaps the Shadowrun universe Hong Kong would look different. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
HoonDing Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I don't see an option for Reading, England. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Oner Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Aw crap, not Hong Kong. ._. Hong Kong did have a pretty awesome sourcebook. The tribal stuff mentioned in the short description isn't too much to my liking.

Auxilius Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Voted for Berlin. Denver, Chicago and London seemed very average. More Seattle is out of the question since one of the greatest pleasures in RPGs is travelling. The Hong Kong description was fine but I've enough of chinese settings in cyberpunk. It's always very clich Edited May 12, 2012 by Auxilius
Hurlshort Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Hong Kong was all about the corporations, if I remember correctly. Blade Runner is probably a decent comparison, lots of tall buildings and all that. The corporate espionage storylines will be front and center, I'd imagine.
Majek Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 How is traveling half a world away in the middle of the game a good thing? 1.13 killed off Ja2.

Labadal Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 I voted Hong Kong because I never get tired of Asian locations in games no matter how cliche they are.
Hurlshort Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 How is traveling half a world away in the middle of the game a good thing? I'm not quite sure I understand your point. Would you rather they stop off at a couple small islands on the way across the pacific? I guess it also doesn't seem that odd to me because it is fairly common to fly from the US West Coast to Japan/Hong Kong/Taiwan. Businessmen do it rather regularly, and despite this being a fictional universe, you still have strong business connections in the game between Asia and Seattle.
ShadySands Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 I dunno, I was always under the impression that international travel wasn't very easy for most Shadowrunners. I don't mind having a set change to a different part of the world but I would prefer if they focused on Seattle as they already have so much they can do with that area. Berlin is my second choice from the list but there are no places that I absolutely do not want to see. Free games updated 3/4/21
Humanoid Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 I'd take the one expanded city over two smaller hubs anyway, because that's what they are - cities. No game has, to my mind, done a satisfactory job of even portraying one average sized modern city so I feel like adding another is biting off way more than any developer can chew. And for a recent example of what attempting that might lead to, we have Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I heard that the original design were for four major city hubs. Impressive sounding to be sure, but what did we get? Two half baked city blocks. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
ShadySands Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Second vote now between Berlin (my vote) and Hong Kong Free games updated 3/4/21
Hurlshort Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 I voted for Hong Kong in the second round. Your vote is now cancelled out Shady!
Majek Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Well, i voted for Berlin this time. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
