Now that is some flatout awesome advertising art. 

 

They even put an Ork right in the front on account of Orks being awesome.

 

Edit:  I probably should have put this in the Shadowrun Returns thread, huh?  I'm an idiot.

Nonsense, thanks for sharing.

An expansion eh? Any improvements to the engine like a free save system? If yes I might pick the game up from a steam sale when I see one.

Atlus Bringing Baby Making jRPG Conception 2 to North America on Vita and 3DS

 

 

Atlus is pregnant. And Spike Chunsoft is the daddy. Together, the proud parents-to-be have unveiled a little bundle of joy named Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars is on its way to North America sometime next spring.

 

The Persona-esque PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS role-player follows the story of a young man with special powers. In order to save the day from the monsters that plague his world, the protagonist will need to join forces with seven heroines. Together, they'll create ethereal creatures called 'Star Children' to help turn the tide of battle. Yes, it's baby-making time.

 

The announcement follows the birth of a strange teaser site, which launched last week. The page displayed a sonogram astride and Atlus logo and little else. It was pretty mysterious at the time. However, in hindsight, it all seems to make perfect sense. Well, everything aside from the outlandish plot, anyway.

Bruce, how jealous are you right now?  They don't even have to shoehorn in sexy time, a la BioWare or CDPR, it's an RPG based around sexy time.

SHADOWRUN: DRAGONFALL FEATURES

 

• Experience a New Full-Length Campaign: Return to the “Tech meets Magic” future of Shadowrun as you and your team of runners get drawn into a treacherous conspiracy. Operating out of an offbeat central hub neighborhood, you’ll choose which missions to accept and how you’ll approach them while navigating the dark underbelly of “the Flux”.

 

• An Exciting New Locale: Shadowrun: Dragonfall transports runners to the Free City of Berlin, a thrilling Shadowrun setting full of gorgeous new hi-res environments, a diverse new cast of characters, and a new soundtrack by the composer of the original Sega Genesis Shadowrun game, Sam Powell.

 

• Command Your Team: Lead a small team of shadowrunners, each with their own outlook and backstory. Each member of your team is designed to play an interesting role during missions and has a unique set of skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

 

• New Weapons, Cyberware, Enemies & More: Try your hand at the long-range sniper rifle, devastating grenade launcher, or stun-inducing taser. Chrome yourself out in the latest cyberware and take on deadly new enemies - including new magical creatures like gargoyles and fire drakes. Dragonfall brings a host of new items, characters, portraits, and improvements to the Shadowrun Returns experience.

 

• Save Anywhere: You can save your progress at any time during the game. This functionality will also be added to the original Shadowrun Returns “Dead Man’s Switch” campaign.

 

• New Game Editor Features: A wide range of enhancements to the game editor for community content creators - including a scripting system to better control lighting, tracking mission objectives in the main game UI, placing exploding barrels, and allowing players to input keypad passwords and custom text strings in conversations. In addition, content creators will be able to use all of the new Berlin environment art, items and characters in their own stories along with assets from the original Shadowrun Returns campaign.

 

Shadowrun: Dragonfall will be released January 2014 for Windows, OSX, and Linux and will be free to Backers. You’ll get the same number of Steam keys you received for the original game via our Backer website and details about how you’ll get your DRM-free version will come in a future update. Dragonfall will launch at $14.99 and we’ll also release the Shadowrun Campaign Pack on the same day. The campaign pack contains the original game and the Dragonfall expansion in one package for only $24.99. We think it’s a great way to get new players into Shadowrun.

I'm happy that I contributed to Shadowrun Returns. The exclusion of a save anywhere feature was a bummer, but it was a decent game.

I think some modder figured it out for them too.  Regardless it is good they have it in now.  I'm very happy with how they managed to capture the PnP feel of the Shadowrun universe.

[Keyrock]

Hopefully the Berlin campaign winds up being a lot less linear.

I know little about Shadowrun... but that's an Ork?

 

It's a statuesque blonde with cosplay ears and comedy fangs.

 

Meh.

[Keyrock]

I know little about Shadowrun... but that's an Ork?

 

In Shadowrun Elves, Dwarves, Orks, and Trolls aren't completely different species, but all offshoots of humans, called Metahumans. Hence why they don't look that different than humans. They're closer to what a Half-Elf, Half-Dwarf, Half-Orc, and Half-Troll would be in your standard generic Tolkien-esque fantasy setting.  They run the gamut from grotesque and fairly beastly looking to you can hardly tell them apart from a human. Trolls are the least human looking because of the horns and the size difference.  

 

Dwarf, Troll, Human, Ork, Elf, in that order.

Perfect. Down with guns, swords and violence. Onward with love, sex and fornication.

[Humanoid]

And it's a sequel, no less.

 

 

Still, outproducing your enemies is a tried and true strategy that works every time. Now I just need to figure out how to get my XCOM troopers to reproduce faster than those dang Chryssalids....

Bruce, I'm shocked.

Why does Garriot sound like the Deepak Chopra of video games? Half of that interview is smoke and mirrors. What the hell does "purpose-driven, rationalized events" even mean?

If you're anything like me, you've been eagerly waiting for a dystopian future class warfare steampunk golf game in the sky.  Well, here it is:

 

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/20/heres-that-cyber-steampunk-golf-sim-youve-been-wanting

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6t-MceE7H8

 

 

“Vertiginous Golf is set in an alternate industrially revolutionised future where life on the ground is hampered by a permanent smog which plunges its inhabitants into constant darkness and never ending rain.”

 

“The Vertiginous levitation system invented by Edward V Frohlich in 2006, was primarily developed to provide the upper tiers of society with a power system that could permanently levitate plots off the ground where they could build their residential houses and recreational follies high enough to be above the eternal smog and bathed in almost constant sunlight.”

What took people so long to make this type of game?
