I vote No.
I don't own an XBox, don't want to buy one just for a game. Especially not for a FPS. Don't get me wrong, I like and and enjoy FPS games. On a PC. Because I hate console control pads as much as I hate SR4. It's nearly impossible for me to get anywhere on a FPS with the piss-poor sensativity of movement on a damn joypad. Give me my custom set sensativity-level optical trackball and my customized-to-my-hand key command setup. Plus the vile and foul rape of the Shadowrun universe/story they inflicted on this game is enough to make me not want to even look at it. |

It is coming out on the PC too, assuming your machine has the cajones to run Windows Vista and you plunk down the cash for that to whenever that ships.

When I upgrade to a better PC and purchase MS Vista, I will prolly look for a, uuuh... "backup copy"? This way if I don't like it, nothing was lost except time. That's the wonderful thing about PCs and the interweb, you don't have to spend money on apps if you know where to look. Of course you all know this, but I'm prolly the only one dumb enough to say it "out loud" on this forum. Now I've been marked.

No reason to buy this game, as I've already played it. You know, back when it was called Counter-Strike.

Puppies should replace cows as the #1 source of meat?
Neo-conservativism will ultimately cause oil to be as affordable as tube socks at wal-mart? Socialism could work if we all wore more comfortable pants? |

Dude, acid hurts your brain
Having watched quite a bit of the E3 stuff on G4, I think they would make an FPS out of anything |

Maybe if the game was actually about Shadowrun and not just a poorly developed Counterstrike knockoff that straight up ignores all the SR rules and history then perhaps it would be worth a shot. But since I have yet to find one thing I like about the game, I hope they bury it in thde pit from where they discovered and excavated all those old Atari 2600 games.

I voted Don't Know. I'll have a more definable opinion after I've read some reviews & seen the game in action.
But from what little has been released about it, it's unlikely. |

I'll try it out, but don't expect to buy it unless i'm wowed. I'm not interested in sinking the grand or so into my PC that'd be required to upgrade it to being a decent gaming machine again, there's no way i'm buying a 500 dollar console, and honestly, the game doesn't look like it does anything really innovative, from what I've seen so far.
And i'm HAPPY with winXP, dammit. I don't WANT to upgrade to Vista. |

Leaving aside any questions of quality... I rather doubt they'll be releasing a Linux version, so it almost certainly won't run on anything I own.

You are correct; it was just E.T. Sorry for the confusion. But on the bright side, I just read an article that claimed that the reason it was buried was because it sucked so bad. So I guess the reference is more relevant than I first suspected. ;D |

I have a 360 (got it from launch), and i'll be getting the game. I'm not normally a fan of vs multiplayer (I prefer co-op, rather than going off against some pimply teen who screams "PWND YO MOMMA" down the headset at you every few seconds, and then when you beat him, how can you feel good about it, when he's only a kid? Hm.), but i think i'll try it out. I'm less concerned about what they've done to the game, and what kind of game it is, than how well it plays online, and if they have some decent servers (unlike EA's laggy-as-hell servers).

Pass. Even if it was God's gift to gamers, I don't have enough computer to run it.

No sir, I don't like it.. This game is not Shadowrun and it is not going to be good. I don't know when it happened in the video game industry but thic copy cat crap is getting tired.

Since they'll have bots you could set up a "co-op" game by putting all the humans one team and filling out the other faction with bots. But without a "campaign" of some sort to follow a storyline that sort of co-op isn't likely what you are looking for. While they do have the basic elements of a storyarc in place i don't see them talking too much about writing the code to string together a campaign mode across their multiple maps for single-player or co-op multi in mind. |

:rotfl: :rotfl: Back in the early 80's i played Donkey King on the TRS-80 CoCo. This game isn't anything close to a copy cat to anything compared to that. So is it possible you didn't notice it starting to happen because you hadn't been born yet when it did? ;) |
