Ok, I'll begin with this.

I've been playing Shadowrun since 1997 and it has been a wonderful game to see grow. I've been around the net as a young kid - I'm 25 right now - reading sites like Blackjacks SR Page when it used to get regular updates, haha! Just have had some wonderful experiences with the Shadowrun universe in general, namely, the RPG and video games.

Which brings me to my next point, after a little bit of background on my Shadowrun experience.

A video game.

I'm new to this actual board but have been following dumpshock for as long as I can remember so if it's taboo to talk about the possibility of a new game, then I am sorry, but here I go.

I believe that a proper Shadowrun RPG with on-line capacity would kill the markets.

Plain and simple...so...why hasn't any game developer noticed this yet?

Perhaps they haven't had much attention to it, seeing as how the latest Shadowrun installment tanked worse than Project: Hope did back in the day. FPS games like this latest Shadowrun with a somewhat banal storyline/system just don't work and it was evident. Good concept, bad delivery.

But what about a Shadowrun RPG that focuses on all the aspects of the RPG that we have grown to love. You start out, create a character and bam, away you go. With the scales of GTA and Fallout 3, it is evident that one developer should be able to crank out a high-scale Shadowrun game.

Or here is another great idea like I had witness develop over at fireproclub.com...how about this idea.

We start an on-line revolution and WE be the ones responsible for a new game.

I firmly believe that this is possible.

Do you?
