A disturbing scenario just crossed my mind.
Microsoft sees failure of Shadowrun FPS and slowly but surely kills it. Microsoft looks for source of failure. Microsoft discovers plethora of complaints by fans of Shadowrun RPG. Microsoft realizes they actually have an inhouse team that does RPGs. Microsoft hands the game over to the folks that made Dungeon Siege. Thank ye gods, Microsoft wouldn't actually analyze user feedback, so we're probably safe. |

So you are saying that a 3rd person engine is worse than what they produced? Dude what are you smoking?

That's not entirely unlikely in terms of the Dungeon Siege angle, given that both Gas Powered Games and Snowblind Studios are out in Redmond. GPG made Dungeon Siege, and Snowblind has some of the staff that worked on it.

No, I am only saying, or trying to say, that a game that fololws the mechanics of Dung-eon Siege would (for me at least) not be any more Shadowrun than Microsofts current digital offering. As to the second question: the guy behind the shopping mall claimed it was regular crack-cocaine... although I find it tastes a bit like soap and makes me dizzy. |

I think it'll go more like this:
Programmer: "Hey, we really should work on another Shadowrun title, and do it right this time." Exec: "WHAT?!? No way! Do you have any idea how much money that game cost us? It was a bomb, a disaster. We're moving on to more profitable ventures, get Halo 9 in production!" It’ll be our fault for not buying it of course. Since we didn’t give them our money they’ll see the game as a dud and not worth a second crack. Like movie sequels. Most likely they'll hold the license for as long as possible so no one else can make a profit from it. |

I'm thinking something like those Japanese B-games. THAT would sound more appealing than the current Counterstrike-in-2070 "Shadowrun" game on the 360 (Especially if they had some of those Adults only features :P)
The Shadowrun video game license should be given over to the same people who made Bioshock. (Who were in turn responsible for System Shock 2) Damn meds... :rotfl: |

Speaking of Genesis SR, whatever happened to that fan-translation project for the MEGA-CD version of Shadowrun?
http://www.mobygames.com/game/sega-cd/shad...n__/screenshots From a bit of info I've been able to gleam, it takes place in Tokyo. And apparently, there was to be a game similar to SC: Ghost, set in the SR universe, and it sounds like someone had their (massive stream of expletives) head on correctly when they were planning it, too... http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sha.../shadowrun2.htm The scan of an article from NextGen magazine was kind of an interesting read, as well. http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sha...run/nextgen.jpg I sometimes still can't believe I spent $100 on a MEGA-CD copy of Shadowrun... |
