Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter Finishes Big
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Pretty awesome, I never played anything related to Shadowrun but I've heard stories and the world sounds pretty interesting. 2D? I like the sound of that.
The old 16-bit Shadowrun game on the SNES was one of my all time favourite games back in the day. It had atmosphere, great story and was a great universe to be in and explore. Hacking, levelling up and combat were interesting and I hope the anything new follows in this vein. Whoever thought Shadowrun should be a multiplayer fps deserves to be shot.
Awesome, so the PC owning kickstarters are helping to fund the tablet and mac version. With any luck they'll make an iOS version, sell it for 69p, and make a fortune. Benefit to original kickstarters is nil, but hey ho, that's not what kickstarter is about, is it.
Why doesn't every company do that? - get funding by holding game development to ransom... pay twice as much for the game, 2 years before it's released, before it's even developed, or there will be no game. I feel like slapping the gaming world across the face and telling them to snap out of it. This can't be the future of game development, we can't be expected to pay more, in advance for every fricken game and get nothing in return but a cheap t-shirt and some effort from the website designer. It's not even a proven idea yet! Stop throwing money at your screen or we'll be expected to throw money at our screens every damn time.
Gah, sick of kickstarter, I wish people would just make games then let people buy them, like the old days, like the PC gaming industry that people neglected and are now so bloody desperate to go back to.

Was the 'train wreck' Shadowrun reboot mentioned in this article the one that had that avidly homophobic developer on the team? I know this has nothing to do with this project but I'm just curious.
I actually liked the 2007 game D':
I'm still looking forward to this, and I appreciate that the last game failed as a Shadowrun title, but as a competitive online shooter, it's one of my favourites...

More than one person played the 2007 game? More than one person admits to playing the 2007 game? More than one person likes the 2007 game?GamesB2 said:
This does not compute.
I never actually played the 2007 game. My favorite digital version of Shadowrun would be the one for the Genesis myself.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.Gardenia said:
I wish I had known about this Kickstarter, because this is one I would actually have funded.
