Shadowrun cubed?
« on: February 18, 2003, 05:49:04 PM »
Remember that awesome little title on the SNES where you supposedly were meant to be dead and you come back looking for those who killed you. You were able to hire hitmen to form a 'gang'.

Just thinking how cool it would be to see a gamecube version of that.I think it would work best with a standard isometric view like the original and also first person view for the gun fight scenes.It could have the option of multiplayer when you hire more hitmen.

Cant remember the name of the developers though.

What are your thoughts,opinions??

That was one of my favorite all-time games.  I wanna say DATA EAST made it, but i can't remember.  That also was the first of its kind to deal with the matrix and hacking.  Great game.  I wouldn't mind just updating the graphics with the same story, it was that fun.[besides the extreme slowdown and screen flicker]

I know this game was good--I mean, it HAS to be given the way people talk about it, but I rented it once and made it nowhere.  I'd love to give it another go today.

If we ever do see an update to Shadowrun it will be on a Microsoft console as they own the rights.

Indeed, Microsoft owns FASA, and thus, Shadowrun.  I'd love to see another Shadowrun game on ANY platform, but Microsoft has been ignoring the franchise for years.

Figures.  Then I'll have three reasons to buy an XBOX.

Fasa created all those mech games that have done well for the xbox so i guess Microsoft wont be in a hurry to sell them!!But what about the Shadowrun license,i dunno but seeing as it doesnt look like it doesnt fit in with Fasa's future plans,couldnt they sell it to Nintendo to give it to a 2nd party to make a franchise out of it.I know its stretching it but surelythere would be some way of seeing it on the nintendo platform in the future.Its such an awesome game!!

Aussie developers Beam Software made the original. Whatever happened to the sequel that Drake promised us at the end of Shadowrun...

Yeah, and it's really damn unfortunate too because it's a super cool property that could make for one HELL of a game.
