Fingers crossed and godspeed on SR game!

Devs,

I know all the deep discussion is on the Dumpshock forums, but I just wanted to chime in over here where I know I'll be heard and not swallowed up by the crowd. THANK YOU for recognizing the value of the SR IP. THANK YOU for the thought you are clearly putting into it to make it a fun experience that stays as true to the PnP game as possible. And THANK YOU for using the business model of a free game with microtransactions. If the game achieves the quality you envision, I guarantee I will support it even if the only thing I can spend money on is cosmetic items.

I don't think I've looked forward to any PC game as much as this one since the original Asheron's Call back in 1999.

Didn't even know DumpShock still existed!  I stopped visiting it probably 6 years ago.

Do it up right, steal innovations from other MMO's and I would play this game forever.

[primetide]

hey, we are all about stealing innovation
actually we are also looking to innovate a tiny bit ourselves, but let's see.

I have to say this really made my week. Best of luck to everyone at Cliffhanger. I'll be there day 1. I'm certain I'll be supporting the game through microtransactions, but please don't make the items expire, I avoid that on general principle.

How flexible is the development environment? Is it likely that you will be able to easily expand or drastically change some aspects of the game after it has gone live?

[primetide]

We expect to constantly expand and hopefully improve the game throughout going live. That being said, we are very wary of drastic changes unless they are really necessary.
We haven't made up our mind on item decay yet - malfunction chances and wear are part of the Shadowrun setting, so we will incorporate that to a degree.
As one of the first people in our forum, we will of course offer an early beta pass to you

Thank you kindly! Great avatar, btw. I haven't read Flaming Carrot yet, but I've heard good things. Hoping IDW publishes the Reid Fleming/Flaming Carrot crossover in their next edition.

Word of mouth is starting to spread, omae. Cant' stop the signal.

I just heard about this project today, and it would be a monumental understatement to say that the news made my day. I can't wait to see how the whole thing starts panning out in development. I'm excited for details. I'll have to check over on dumpshock to see if they've got any juicy tidbits.

I'm pumped for some game details. I played WoW for a few years, and I recently started EVE Online. I reckon an approach somewhere between the two would be nothing short of monumental. Can't wait to hear more! If you chummers can put out the game I've always been hoping for you'll have me from day one.

[primetide]

well, we are considerably more modest in our approach. both EVE and WoW are monumental games with millions of dollars spent from day one.
No matter how much we would love to go big on this, we have not even 2% of what these games cost. But we still aim to capture the spirit of the game and give you some good challenging gameplay.

[Glasswalker]

Well a man can hope.

No matter what you guys do as long as it is a genuine Shadowrun game that stick to the spirit of the source material I'll be happy. Even the old SNES and Genesis SR games were great, not because the gameplay or graphics were amazing, but because they stuck to the world.

Still looking forward to whatever you guys produce.

[primetide]

Thank you for the kind words and the vote of confidence. We want to indeed make up in gameplay what we can't have in graphics and sheer size

Hey guys just thought I drop in and say I loooooooooooooooooooooveeee this game! I loved the SNES/SEGA version which was probably ahead of it's time for those consoles but man I can't wait for this game to get further along in it's process, the closest thing to a shadowrun RPG is DEUS EX which is coming out sometime this month - I think that sort of captures the vibe of a shadowrun game.

http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=57775 <---even the conversation over here at obsidian board turned into how much people want a shadowrun game back.

if you guys go the route of single player RPG I am all on board I think you can capture so much with that..in that sense I hope you copy starwars KOTOR which has the single player vibe to it

can't wait for more news of this game, the FPS shadowrun left a bitter taste in my mouth.
