A lot of that stuff is certainly on the TODO list for before the computer game launches.
BTW, since Google results are partially based on how many other sites reference a given site, Shadowrun fans can help keep the Shadowrun RPG high in the Google results list compared to the computer game simply by linking to the ShadowrunRPG site -- link it from the side of your blog, your main website, etc. |

I'm hoping it does well. Aside from the twin fingernails-on-chalkboard that are teleporting and resurrection, it doesn't look entirely craptastic. I can deal with newbies coming to my gaming table wanting to teleport. At least they're coming to the gaming table.
BTW, it's been a while since I posted here, 2003 by the looks of it. It's good to be back and to see that at least some of the inmates are still here. ;) |

All raping of the license aside, I never held much faith in any videogame conversion of the Shadowrun universe.
And regardless of the disregard for SR canon, I poked around the www.shadowrun.com site, read a bit, had a look at the screenshots, and the game looks pretty crap to me. Even if it wasn't behind the Shadowrun license, I wouldn't buy it. It did annoy me that there's barely any mention of the shadowrun rpg on the site, and I was very hard pressed to find any links. First of all, I think the game is going to be a flop. Bad reviews and mediocre sales. And looking at the limited cross-promotion by Microsoft, it's not going to attract many to the pen and paper game. Especially not the casual gamer, who is the target audience for shallow games like this. |

I'm abit on the fence on this one, but I voted for it to succeded. Most of the people who worked on it had no say in how it was made. I will simply restate what I have before. I would rather have seen a game based more along the Fallout tactics engine, or perhapse Vampire: Bloodlines. One of these days if I have time I may try to write a mod for one of those games...

true, again, I had no desire to see it fail. Doesn't mean I'm gonna watch it. :-) |
