[edit] Article name

This should probably be renamed, as it has now been confirmed at E3 that it will be on Windows as well. --Phorteetoo 20:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

How about Shadowrun (2007 video game)? I'm going out on a limb and saying 2007. Thunderbrand 03:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that should work. Far as I know, early 2007 is the planned Vista launch, so that'd be a pretty good guess. --Phorteetoo 04:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I am agreeing with 2007 as well - it is coming out for Vista as well, and Vista is 2007. I'd like to say Q3 or Q4 2007, but I am not putting my eggs into that basket.--Phae 08:07, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Information!

As this is ongoing, I feel it is about high time to update this article with more information pertaining to this upcoming game. I took the liberties of adding in the official Shadowrun site to the links, as well as changing the platforms to mention that Shadowrun is a Vista game. If you have any questions, my talk page is open! --Phae 23:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Vista fix. My first impression was that it was just Windows in general, didn't realize it was going to be Vista only. Kind of a strange move; I guess they must be doing something shiny with it that will require the capabilities of Vista. --Phorteetoo 04:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
It's no problem! It's Vista only as it will be a part of Microsoft's big push for PC gaming, and it will take advantage of DirectX 10. Halo 3 will also have a PC counterpart with Vista requirements. I'm working on updating this article with a LOT of information on the Xbox 360 Shadowrun game, however it is currently VERY difficult to do as there is SEVERE backlash going on as the game is a flat out team based FPS with a Shadowrun tag on it. Lot of tripe to wade through to get to the facts. If you see anything, feel free to add it into the wiki page and i'll help you edit it, or I am sure soon that other Shadowrunners will pop out to help get this page in order. --Phae 07:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I added in a small thing. There are pictures of ingame floating around the WWW I am sure, just hunting them down and getting them in is the difficult part. It is becoming very hard to maintain a NPOV (I am a Shadowrun fan), but I am trying my hardest. If it seems I am slamming this game at any point, please yell at me in my talk page, and edit whatever I said out.--Phae 08:06, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I think Microsoft's intent here is to create a Dystopia clone, and bait in the MechWarrior fans with the lure of the Fasa tag. I have yet to see any evidence of more than a nominal connection to the series at all. This really seems to be their MO for licensed games, and it's yet another reason to support my conviction that they are simply evil. Fdgfds 04:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dev Edits

Hey there guys and gals. I'm the lead program manager for the FASA game. I've popped my head in to add whatever information I can and correct any factual errors. I did a minor edit to the page a few days ago with a few additions / corrections. I hope this can be a page for facts only; www.shadowrun.com is a great place to discuss subjective stuff. --justdana

this game is gonna suck baals and its all ur fawlut--65.102.136.42 01:21, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Good then maybe you can explain why game designers today seem to go out of their way to make the exact opposite of what their customers want.
