Shadowrun RPG coming to PC and consoles
First spotted by SFAM at Cyberpunk review, it appears the “pen and paper cyberpunk Shadowrun game” will be making it’s way to the PC. I accidentaly stumbled accross the Official Shadowrun RPG site article Microsoft Shadowrun.
So finally after all this .. here’s what the official Shadowrun site says:
Shadowrun™ is a team-based FPS for both Xbox 360™ and Windows Vista™, set in a world where ancient magic blends with modern weapons and advanced technology to form a revolution in multiplayer FPS gaming. Purchase new weapons and abilities each round in an extraordinary arms race to increase your options and open up new tactics for your team. Gather your team from four different magical races, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. And fight for control of a magical artifact that can shape the course of the world.
This is cool, however, we’ll see how cyberpunk is in there. It will be a First Person Shooter.
I purchased an old copy (2nd edition) of Shadowrun a while back for nostalgias sake. Back in the day, early 90’s and high school, I used to game every weekend.
If you want to compare with the original computer game on SNES back in the 90’s then check out the review of Shadowrun at Netjak.
