The recently opened Shadowrun beta isn't perfect. The artwork is unfinished, the frame rate can be choppy, the performance is often sluggish and sometimes the game's AI bots are the only competitors available to play. Most annoyingly, just two maps are currently offered, though we sampled at least three during our last developer demo. So why can't we tear ourselves away? Because even at this still early stage, the game's unique and diverse strengths shine through. The Shadowrun experience is ... » Read More

PC - Shadowrun - Microsoft's Kim Defends Shadowrun Buzz Issues Microsoft executive Shane Kim has commented on mixed buzz over the firm's Shadowrun being an FPS, admitting that "we showed the title prematurely at E3", but that the firm is "working hard" to reverse that with a Beta and press tours.

Specifically, when asked what he thought of negative initial reaction to the FASA-developed Xbox 360 and PC title Shadowrun - the franchise, revealed at E3 2006, had long been presumed by fans to work best in RPG form - Kim commented:

"That reaction has been around for a long time, so we've had a long time to deal with it. I think as people get their hands on it, they'll realize that yes, it's not an RPG, but that the FASA team has done a really good job of setting a first-person shooter within the Shadowrun universe."

PC - Shadowrun - Shadowrun emerges in June - First To Pair 360, PC One of the more interesting features debuting later this year is the ability for Vista and Xbox 360 gamers to play online multiplayer sessions together. The first to allow them to do that is Shadowrun, a new first-person shooter from FASA Studio.

Today, Microsoft finally revealed when geeks can settle the age-old "keyboard and mouse or controller" debate. Both the Vista and Xbox 360 versions of Shadowrun will be available in June. Microsoft did not specify when in June Shadowrun would be released.

PC - Shadowrun - GDC: Shadowrun pits PC against Xbox 360 FPS fans finally get their chance to settle it: keyboard and mouse versus controller.

Microsoft says Shadowrun, its version of the RPG and pen and paper classic by FASA, is on track for release in late 2007, sort of--no specific date is available at this time. But what is clear is that this version will veer from its lineage to mimic Counter-Strike in many ways, including being a multiplayer FPS with no single player campaign. Moreover, Xbox 360 and PC gamers will be able to engage in joint gunfights for the first time.

The classic cyberpunk RPG series is reborn as a brutal first person shooter. If you're not familiar with the series, it takes the world of classic fantasy - elves, dwarves - and blends it with a hard-edged future of powerful computer networks. The result isn't quite like anything else, and we expect the game won't be either. Check out the movie and find out for yourself - just click on that "movies" tab ... » Read More
