Have we not gone over this already? Yes, and no. We have and have not.
Shadowrun. It is on consoles, tabletop, and now for the computer/tablets. Before I spoke of Harebrained Schemes and their Shadowrun Returns. Which is a 2D single player game. The concept looks great and I will be playing it next year.
But I am here to talk about another iteration of Shadowrun. Shadowrun Online.
Shadowrun Online is a 3/4 view 3D tactical game. Much in the way of Fallout Tactics, this game provides a lot of options, and story, or so it would seem. As no one has played this game, it is hard to tell. But Cliffjumper Productions have provided a few videos, a couple of which, are pre-alpha gameplay footage.
They started up a Kickstarter campaign. It is located here:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1964352341/shadowrun-online
They have an ambitious goal of $500,000, but only have a week to go. Right now they are at $255,000ish and without another $245,000 they will not be funded, which means all their hard work alright is going to be a bust. Unfortunately, I think it will be a blow for a potentially cool looking game.
The videos are on the Kickstarter page as well. I believe the game has great potential, and as with other kickstarter programs, you get some real life and virtual rewards for donating to make this project a reality.
Just came in to speak my peace on this. Stop by, make your own decision. I know I donated a good amount of cash, but I think it is for a great cause.
