Shadowrun Goes Gold
The time has come to put an end to the console and PC boundary. Whether or not you all are prepared for that matters not because the first cross-platform title for the Xbox 360 and PC is now golden! I’m not sure what to say personally given the severe case of Multiplayphobia in this game but hey, it’s coming.
Gaming communities on Xbox 360 and Windows Vista will come together for the first time over Xbox LIVE and Games For Windows – LIVE, when “Shadowrun” teleports to retailers May 29. From renowned developer FASA Studio, ”Shadowrun” incorporates ancient magic and advanced technology into strategic and clever teambased gameplay for an unparalled combat experience.

“Shadowrun” is optimized for a multiplayer online experience – which requires an Xbox LIVE Gold account on Xbox 360 or Silver account on Games for Windows – LIVE. The game will ship with nine unique maps and an additional three map variations, showcasing dynamic environments set in a futuristic Santos, Brazil, and its neighboring, ancient Ziggurat. Humans, elves, dwarves and trolls, can pick up “Shadowrun” for the estimated retail price of $59.99 for Xbox 360 and $49.99 for Windows Vista.

I have a feeling I am going to pick up both copies just in case my tv is ever in use. I loved the beta and I really think this is a nex gen game.

well not having a single campaign really burns me.

From the trailers this game looks like and “plays” like crap. Hopefully a demo will be released on both X360 and PC to show it does not fit that description.

the beta was ok. i’m interested in seeing the final product though. i have my worries with a multiplayer only title..i’ve always had my reservations with games that forget or pay no attention to single player campaigns.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:45 am
There is no single player campaign? I thought there was one. That sucks and will limit who would pick this up.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:14 am
someone told me that lol i haven’t verified. if true, i won’t be happy.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:30 am
confirmed Green. no single player but perhaps there will be bots to enjoy the maps offline
not sure how i feel about a multiplayer only game though.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:32 am
Multiplayer only was confirmed for a long time. Where have you been?
There will be bots to play offline with, and several training missions. Nothing will replace that spot in your heart where the singleplayer should have been though, huh.

wow well yeah i was totally unaware of the multiplayer only bit.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Wow….Microsoft indicated their games will be $50 and here we have one for $60 that doesn’t even have single player. It should be lowered.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Yeah requiring a Gold GT and xbox live will make them lose a lot of gamers and money. For an online only game why not just sell this as DLc or a reduced price like Counterstrike was on xbox? No single player and they still want $60….they crazy!
“well not having a single campaign really burns me.”

yeah Green, $60 and their is no splitscreen either, I thought the beta was okay, nothing special. I will only play this game if I win it or get it free. Too bad the demo I played at E3 was very cool playing against other people at E3.

you guys know how i feel about multiplayphobia lol. i’m a single campaign guy as many others i’m sure are. i guess it must be one hell of an experience online eh?
May 10th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Singleplayphobia?
May 10th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
nah singleplayphobia is what i prefer which would be a total concentration on single player first, multiplayer second.
May 10th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Wouldn’t that be singleplayaphilia?
May 10th, 2007 at 7:30 pm

60$ for 9 maps? That’s harsh. Even Rainbow Six features more maps, and above that, has a story-driven single player campaign …
