In California, USA myself, so still an hour until 12am 7/25. Steam says an estimated 11 hours until release though.

QUOTE (Adam @ Jul 24 2013, 07:42 PM)  Jordan Weisman made an awesome comment about that recently: http://www.chud.com/141318/mcp-interview-j...returns-part-1/ Anyone who thinks that Shadowrun couldn't or shouldn't be a FPS or other action title is just being plain silly: Shadowrun is not close to "pure" in the types of games it's been in its lifetime, from tabletop RPG, to tabletop minis game, to collectible card game, to two different styles of computer RPG/adventure games, to more editions of the RPG, and to the card and board games coming up soon, plus the two new computer games. Shadowrun is a mutt, and it's a pity the FPS didn't fit in better, setting-wise, because being an action game wasn't the problem. The reason we don't count it as a SR game isn't because it was bad or an FPS (although it was both of those) but rather because it didn't have the background behind it. I've said for years that Shadowrun could make for a great Tactical FPS like Rainbow Six: Raven Shield. |

If the SR FPS had been like Deus Ex, nobody would have complained.

If it really were like Deus EX, it would have been perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I would throw copious amounts of money at whoever that could make a game like that happen.

I've always considered Deus ex to BE Shadowrun in honorarium. Mega corps -check Dystopia - check Cyberpunk - check Hacking - check magic / trolls / dragons - ummm ...maybe a DLC ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) the rest is gravy |

I've been reading forum talk from a reviewer who's played through the game.
The good news: Excellent writing Nice looking art The bad news: Very little cyberware. No bioware Essence isn't in the game You can become a mage/adept/shaman at any time, just spend some karma |

You know ... when I finished the first Shadowrun game, there was this message "See you soon in Shadowrun 2!". This isn't soon, but it's ... something like it. Can't wait till Steam flips the switch on this game.

Sadly, as far as I know, Microsoft still holds the exclusive rights, for anything, that is Shadowrun and fps like. They never really did anything with that licence... (no, don't say it... let's stick with never, please). |

After what Microsoft have done... Like Gfwl, destroying Rare and lately Killer Instinct... I would tend to agree, keep them faaar away from anything you even remotely care about...

Can't wait till Steam flips the switch on this game. Reminds me--even though it shouldn't--of my board game design group. The six of us started with Velociraptor! Cannibalism! and have been joking about making a game called "Box of Knives."* Which would actually just be a box full of knives with reviews like "actually dangerous" and "No." The next game we put out is going to have the phrase "From the five remaining members of Velociraptor! Cannibalism! and Box of Knives comes [name of game]," just to screw with people. (There are only five of us now: we bought out the sixth fellow, who was happy to take the money and not have the stress, but the phrasing would make it sound like we either stabbed him or fed him to dinosaurs). *No, this is not a real game. It's just a joke. We've talked about staging the design of it at Global Game Jam where we disappear into a room for "play testing" and then one fewer people come back out. |
