Shadowrun Returns

Thought this might interest you all. The old classic, Shadowrun (my most favorite PnP game ever) is being possibly remade as a video game. But it is a kickstarter project which means that people who are interested in it fund it to get it off the ground.

Anyhow details can be found at this website, and pass it on to anyone else who you think might be interested.

Shadowrun for the snes was on of the greatest games ever.

Interesting. I hope they'll have some cooperative multiplayer like Neverwinter Nights rather than it being just single-player, though.

But more importantly: Can we get a new Crimson Skies game after this, please?

They might, if they get majorly funded they will probably add a pile of new features. Looks like they are on the road to that, since they are $40K away from the goal and only 6 days in I think.

Correction, they hit their goal in 28 hours, and still climbing at over 0.5 million with 23 days left. Looks like they are now thinking about multiplayer and other features like rigging if they get the funding (and it looks like they easily will)

I think I might keep an eye on this one.

So to update since I last posted...

Riggers are in now
German, Spanish, and French languages will be available
The game will be single player only for this iteration (the devs wisely decided to stay with-in the scope of their plan, though they may do multiplayer as an expansion or something)

If the game hits 1 million in funding (it is at ~900000 right now) in the next 15 days they will add...

A second city other then Seattle that is fully fleshed out (not a copy paste)
An improved editor for the game
Better music akin to what was used for the SNES & Genesis games
Linux version of the game due to arrive after release of the other versions

Riggers are in and it's not an MMO. This is good news! (I always played a rigger)

How many archetypes do we get to choose from?

NeonSamurai · 04-13-12, 10:12 PM

Races: human, elf, dwarf, ork and troll
Roles: Street Samurai, Mage, Shaman, Rigger, Decker. Possibly more post release

Oh and they have posted a primer about Shadowrun (more about the setting of Shadowrun and not the upcoming game, so nothing new if you are already pretty familiar with the PnP game)

Game play wise as I understand it the game will be 2d turn based (similar to the old snes game or the UFO series)
