Shadowrun for the 360

Posted by Zonk on from the twitch-froth-twitch-twitch dept.

TeamXbox has the news that (squee) there may be a new Shadowrun videogame coming to market with the Xbox 360. From the article: "I have worked on many projects, ranging from PC games to console, FPS to role-playing. Right now, I am animating for an Xbox 2 project called Shadowrun. It's a first-person shooter based on an old paper RPG of the same name from a couple decades ago." Sounds like fun....but an FPS? Where's my SR MMOG?

    Hunter isn't directly derived from Vampire, but it is a video game adaptation of a roleplaying game by the same company who puts out V:tM. The company is White Wolf and the game is Hunter: the Reckoning. Basically the games are set in the same world and can be used in crossovers as antagonists for one another, but it's also easy to play either one on its own.

    A couple decades ago? Ahh, I guess that explains this.
