From Fanpro Germany (Christian Lonsing), a very short and small summary
1) SR4 is finished and is being printed, so it should be ready for GenCon. Hurray! Double-Hurray!! 2) More than 100 people worked on SR4. I suppose that playtesters are included. 3) All additinal books (Weapons, Matrix etc) shall be released in 12 months. 4) Some rules regardings damage monitor and wounding effects are mentioned (and some blabla about the drain) but nothing specific. 5) It is mentioned that a character can go beyond the limit of 6 (dexterity 8, pistoles 7 => dice pool 15), I donīt know if it is an actual character, enhancements with cyber/bioware or just a rule sample. 6) Damage of normal weapons is something between 1 and 10 "boxes" on the monitor, amor can turn physical damage in stun damage. Heavy weapons and very good hits can do more than 10 damage. 7) It seems to be very hard to reduce damage to 0 if you are taking damage. 8) Drain damage can go beyond 10 "boxes" on the damage monitor.
