That's me, with the "I'll give it a try."

Yeah, yeah, nail that sticks up gets hammered down and everything...

Every person I can move from the "yes" or "I'll give it a try" column into the "no, definitely" column is a personal victory for me.

If I somehow get an XBox 360, I may rent it. I may possibly buy it if I like the game well enough. But I doubt that I'll get any gaming consoles in the near future, so I most likely won't get the game either.

I'm a no, since I am not going to go buy an Xbox just for a SR-like game. That and I hate FPS video games in general, greatly prefer strategy games.

meeep, well I'm open to trying but then again I'm a FPS fan. Though, I'd much rather wait for the new Battlefield games to come out and play those than this Shadowrun game.

I don't buy multiplayer-only FPS games.

I'll play the occasional WWII-themed CTF game like Call of Duty multiplayer, or Day of Defeat (both of which came with single player games I got) but outside of that, I don't even have any interest in the multiplayer aspects of any other shooters. I played enough Quake and Team Fortress back in college to last me a lifetime. Maybe if something new like Planetside, but with a setting I'd find more interesting comes out, I'd give it a try, but otherwise... meh.

And since I really hate the fact this game has nothing in common with SR but the name, I really have no incentive whatsoever to give this game a try.

Mine's an obvious 'no' as my PC isn't up to the task of running any game less than five years old and I don't own an X-Box.

Even if I did, I doubt I'd go for this one though. If it ain't set on the polluted streets of Seattle with at least one urban shaman, it ain't Shadowrun.

I'm amongst the "I'll try it" crowd. I'm sure someone know will get it so I probably won't have to.

Obvious no. I can honestly say that I would forgive a game with "Shadowrun" printed on the cover almost anything. If it was a multiplayer FPS in the Shadowrun world, well that would be the first game of that kind I payed money for. If it was a story based first person shooter with this distorted storyline they came up with, I would propably give it a chance. Obviously if it was a Shadowrun RPG I would buy it regardless of what crazy things they did with it. In short, they managed to bulls eye perhaps the only combination of gameplay and handeling of canon that leaves me with absolutely no reason to buy the game.

When I found out about the SR video game, I thought to myself, "Wow, I guess I'm going to have to get an Xbox 360 sooner than I thought." But after seeing the demos and everything else on E3, I just want a Wii. I'm sure I'll get a 360 eventually, and when I do I'll check out the SR game, and if it's decent I might pick up a used copy.

I agree, Wii's the wiinner. (Say what you will about the name change, but the possibilities for puns are endless ;) )

Mintcar summed it up nicely.

Had they set this FPS shooter with a plot, I'd have bought a 360 just for it.

Had they set it in Seattle, in recognizable Runner places, I might have.

Had they set it in Seattle with a plot and as an FPS, I'd have bought a 360 for it.

Had they made it an RPG, I'd have bought it no matter WHAT they did to it.

This? I'm gonna save up for a Playstation 3.

What if they made a Dragonheart Trilogy RTS where you coordinate hordes of runners against hordes of Horrors? Would it be worse then?

Pass. I'm not a fan of the Horrors. Besides, "Hordes" goes against the concept of runners.

Now, if they made a Shadowrun RTS where you coordinate Knight-Errant forces or UCAS miltiary, or Saeder-Krupp forces against Horrors, maybe. With Shadowrunners as elite special units. :)

having the license may give you the ability to slap the word "Shadowrun" on it, but that don't make it so.

I had no interest in a Xbox 360, but I was all but on a waiting list when i heard there would be a shadowrun game.

oh well.

not money i needed to spend anyway.

No, but it probably would have been weirder.

Seems like your winning. No "Yes" votes yet.

I wish there was a "Try it just to laugh at it" choice. Otherwise, I suppose I'll try it if I can't completely repress the horrible memories of it by the time it comes out

I voted to try before deciding, because it looks like it could have a fun gameplay, but considering that I probably won't buy any of the new game consoles, I'll probably not be buying any games. (though the "Console formerly known as Revolution" does look pretty interesting)

No, because I'm not too big on computer games, especially not console twin-releases. About the only game I'm looking forward to is NwN 2...
