Fans of the old-school Shadowrun series didn't like it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. Shadowrun of 2007 had it's flaws, but it also did a lot of things right, and those who thoroughly enjoyed it, speak highly of its successes. Now, ten years later, it could be the perfect time for Microsoft to rebrand it and release a sequel.
ShadowRun arrived in 2007 and is still played by a core audience on modern consoles and PC today, despite a bungled launch.
Played it a few months back. Not a stellar mp game at its time, but still genuine & janky fun.
I have never played Shadowrun. However, the universe of Shadowrun seems like a good setting for various game genres. The franchise combines traditional fantasy tropes with cyberpunk science fiction.
Really enjoyed this back on 360. Was one of the first pc games I played as well. Nice to see it's still online I'm going to have to see about getting a copy on pc again.
Edit: is this backward compatible with series X?
The Shadowrun RPGs from Harebrained Schemes were great, but that IP is just begging for a massive, Cyberpunk 2077-style game. Open world action RPG epic with a healthy dose of immersive sim goodness.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
But Microsoft said no.
Couldn't agree more. I loved this game.
This game was awesome and has such great ideas! I still play the demo on xbox 360 once in a while.
Don't forget one of the first games to implement cross play.
In this day and age of games trying to capture that Overwatch magic this game could potentially be one of them.
I thought i was the only one who loved the first.
All i did was use the gust and glider as a elf and especially bleeding out others with the katana.
I was also nice with the pistol (no smartlink)
I thought it was an awesome game. Never understood the hate it got. Think it was just ahead of its time.
I think it would do well these days.
