New shadowrun game in development?
« on: October 13, 2011, 05:48:29 PM »
So it turns out there's a new Shadowrun game is maybe in the works, and thankfully it's not an FPS this time

Shadowrun Online 1st newsletter

At this point it's been green lighted for pre production and hopefully development start next month.

The "online" part is ominous as those generally indicate an mmo of some sort, or even a social media game. There's no real details around it at this point but something look forward to.

Old school FASA :D

I've always wanted another shadowrun game, 3rd person style like the old console games.  I think it could be a great platform for an MMORPG as well.  I went so far as to start tinkering with a concept in UDK3 but I didn't have the programming background or the spare time to invest in it.  I'll definately keep an eye on it.

Well, basically, if you remember what Fallout 1, Falout 2 and Fallout Tactics looked like, you know what it's gonna be like.

Yep yep yep.
And they are working together with basically just about ANYBODY who ever had something to do with Shadowrun.
Even people who have modded Shadowrun-Stuff into other Computer-Games it seems.

They will be staying as close to canon as possible.
Me, personally, i am hoping they will not stay too close to some of the SR4 bullshit . .
Especially some of the stuff from the american sector . .
It is a SAD but inevitable truth. German Shadowrun has surpassed American Shadowrun in Quality and Quantity.

I like the concept of Shadowrun as a FPS if done right. What I saw of the last game looked awful and I didnt bother with it.

I can see awesome co-op modes where you have to use teamwork through the various team skills to infiltrate an arcology both physically and through the Matrix.

The last game appeared to be only vaguely based off Shadowrun, as if they bought the name just to attract interest without adding any of the flavor from the universe. You can't just have a multi-player element where folks run around deathmatch style and kill each other, and call it Shadowrun just because there's a little magic and someone has pointy ears.

It WAS basically just them using the name for recognition value . .

I saw a thing the other day that the new Shadowrun is going to like Diablo3. (Being a firm believer that Blizzard should melt in a fiery inferno......) This troubles me.

The new SR game may be browser based with mediocre graphics, but if gameplay is good, it'll the the first Shadowrun game I've enjoyed since this:



...and I think we can all agree that the screenshot from the newsletter has somewhat better graphics that the 18 year old super nintendo version...more or less.  ;)



...kinda similar camera angle.
