360 Shadowrun Title Partially Confirmed

Via Gamasutra, a mysterious outline on the FASA website of a quartet of Shadowrunners. This likely indicates that the much rumoured Shadowrun title for a Microsoft console will be making an appearance sometime soon. Hopefully even next week. From the article: "If true, this project will mark the first American Shadowrun video game in over twelve years, following games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis, which were developed by Beam Software and BlueSky Software, respectively." Ahh, the SNES version of Shadowrun. Being a Dog Shaman was never so much fun.

Long live Shadowrun

I'd be a rich man for every nickel I had for each night spent awake drinking pots of tea and eating boxes of KD while playing the tabletop RPG version of Shadowrun. Possibly one of the best RPGs, I couldn't have been happier or more surprised to read this article. D&D was kinda cool, but the SR dice rules always took the cake - and being based directly on William Gibson's vision of the future/the matrix, I have (for years) loathed Hollywood and Keanu Reeves thanks to SR.

Assuming you have spent every night awake drinking pots of tea and playing Shadowrun since 1989 (when the first edition was released), you would now have roughly 310 dollars.

Partially confirmed?

Isn't that like being half pregnant?

How realistic can it be?

If they really want to do it right, a digital version of "that spoiled kid's" mom is going to jump out of the screen with a tray of 'ants on logs' for everyone playing. Later, the digital version of "your" dad complains about you getting a job, and to keep playing you have to cleverly word your rebuttal. Now that's a realistic RPG!
