I really really hope that they leave the recent Shadowrun's formula even though it was a decent game and go back to Shadowrun's roots and create the next-gen RPG that the franchise truly deserves.

I never played the original. I guess that's why I really like the 360 version of Shadowrun. I think it would have sold more (and possibly saved the studio) if they had done with Shadowrun what Sony did with Warhawk.

I hope the next shadowrun is more like the NES/Genesis Shadowrun was. Rather then the MP only 360 Shadowrun.

No body says the game was bad. The reason some people hated it and it got bad buzz is because how much they changed the game from the original.
I mean, Shadowrun was a classic singleplayer isometric RPG and they made fast paced multiplayer FPS out of it!!!???? WTF?
What would Halo fans do if next Halo becomes 1 on 1 fighting game? Or if FF14 becomes a driving / racing title?

That's what happened to Shadowrun. The devs simply screwed with the ip. They could have made their original world.

yeh it pi$$ed me right off I even got my avatar name from the snes version can you imagine the uproar if they turned gran turismo into a new wipeout but hadn't made a GT game for 10 plus years then came out with that
they need to look at mass effect and add a cyberpunk theme to it

nirwanda, I agree. And good point on Cyberpunk feel. The new Shadowrun game felt like a mix of Half Life and Middle Earth.

Kar33m, that was also a reason but the negative buzz was mostly from oldschool players and fans of original. It was rather insulting, what they did regardless of new game's quality or price.

Too bad, I really REALLY enjoyed my time with Shadowrun. They had some great ideas just really put in a bad spot by MS and themselves. They took too long to create the game and in the end a once good studio was put down.

Oh well. Plenty of good stuff to play in the future.

Shadowrun is one of the greatest FPS games every made and it is a tragedy that it didn't have the commercial success it deserved. I hope someone makes Shadowrun 2 without straying too far from the original. Maybe they just had to add a single player mode for all the introverts who couldn't handle the multiplayer.

Shadowrun was an amazing multiplayer experience.

I'm hoping the sequel has the same features and more. Also, I hope it includes a single player mode.

Shadowrun 2 with the same gameplay with maybe more magic spells and better graphics would be superb.

10 - Letting original IP like Shadowrun,

Crimson Skies, and Battletech go was just plan dumb. Closing FASA was just foolish. I just can't imagine ever seeing Crimson Skies 2, Mechassualt 3, or Shadowrun in any format ever coming back to an xbox branded console. I know MS sold the IP back to the original creators and one can only hope there wasn't a great deal of animostity. The move never made any sense to me.

I beta tested this game and had more fun against the bots than online gamers. Glad I never bought it. This game would make a perfect MMORPG.

The game play was/is great. the graphics are a lacking but I can handle that if the game play is there. It definitely deserves a sequel. I was playing it the other day and had a blast. If they would have come out with more maps I would have been happy.

Shadowrun is a great game on LIVE and had a great community, it certainly kept me happy until Halo 3 was released for my multiplayer fix. Probably one of the most complex and deep online shooters you will ever play

14 - Great shame

it was overshadowed (pardon the pun) as it was released at the same time as crackdown with halo 3 beta. Really enjoyed it and still do sometimes when I want to go through walls
