Hindsight is admittedly 20/20, but you have to wonder just what Microsoft and FASA Studios were thinking when they decided to put the Shadowrun licence toward a multiplayer shooter. For those out of the loop, Shadowrun is a pen-and-paper RPG notable both for its cyber-punk setting and the fanatic devotion of its fan base.
The universe is rich with magic and technology, as well as a litany of character types and races, which made it seem like the perfect setting for an epic RPG in the vein of KOTOR. By making their first use of the Shadowrun license a multiplayer FPS instead, Microsoft has pissed off the audience that the license appealed to in the first place and thrown another hat into an overcrowded genre, thereby minimalizing the appeal of the game to those who don't even know what a 'street samurai' is.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Ok so what the hell is this game? It's an online FPS? or is it an online turn based fighter? If it's turn based forget it. if it's not, I'd like to give it a try.
Sure its a good game but not worth 60 bucks. 30 at most.
No thanks
The game is good its a shame that alot of people are going to overlook it.
It's a great game, the gameplay is very solid and addicting but I just wish there was more to it. All I can say is that the DLC better be free because $60 for a game with just multiplayer and training missions won't cut it for too long.
