Talk:Shadowrun (2007 video game)

message: This should probably be renamed, as it has now been confirmed at E3 that it will be on Windows as well. --Phorteetoo 20:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I am agreeing with 2007 as well - it is coming out for Vista as well, and Vista is 2007. I'd like to say Q3 or Q4 2007, but I am not putting my eggs into that basket.--Phae 08:07, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  No, it should simply be Shadowrun. That's the title of the game. There should just be redirects that point to this article, I think. Just my 2 cents. EDIT: Sorry, what I meant was: Shadowrun (Xbox 360, Windows Vista). Tenraixtreme 00:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name 

message: As this is ongoing, I feel it is about high time to update this article with more information pertaining to this upcoming game. I took the liberties of adding in the official Shadowrun site to the links, as well as changing the platforms to mention that Shadowrun is a Vista game. If you have any questions, my talk page is open! --Phae 23:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the Vista fix. My first impression was that it was just Windows in general, didn't realize it was going to be Vista only. Kind of a strange move; I guess they must be doing something shiny with it that will require the capabilities of Vista. --Phorteetoo 04:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's no problem! It's Vista only as it will be a part of Microsoft's big push for PC gaming, and it will take advantage of DirectX 10. Halo 3 will also have a PC counterpart with Vista requirements. I'm working on updating this article with a LOT of information on the Xbox 360 Shadowrun game, however it is currently VERY difficult to do as there is SEVERE backlash going on as the game is a flat out team based FPS with a Shadowrun tag on it. Lot of tripe to wade through to get to the facts. If you see anything, feel free to add it into the wiki page and i'll help you edit it, or I am sure soon that other Shadowrunners will pop out to help get this page in order. --Phae 07:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, I added in a small thing. There are pictures of ingame floating around the WWW I am sure, just hunting them down and getting them in is the difficult part. It is becoming very hard to maintain a NPOV (I am a Shadowrun fan), but I am trying my hardest. If it seems I am slamming this game at any point, please yell at me in my talk page, and edit whatever I said out.--Phae 08:06, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed most of the criticism, not because it isn't true or the concerns aren't real, but because no sources have been provided.  WP:V and WP:NPOV are very clear about requiring information, especially that which is controversial, to be provided with sources. 74.121.231.230 14:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The main criticism point now - that the PC version features crosshair distortion that the 360 version doesn't - seems a bit iffy. On watching the video linked, the only distortion I saw was standard -- as you run, jump, or indeed turn, the reticule balloons out because it's realistic not to be able to aim so well in such situations. If the 360 crosshair doesn't feature some of this ballooning because a gamepad can't be used to turn as fast as a mouse can -- well, that's hardly deliberate, is it?

message: The Xbox 360 and Vista versions have two different covers. They both have characters in similar poses, but the designs are different. Should we put up both covers, or is the 360 cover sufficient? --TonicBH 17:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The requirements given are the recommended system requirements, and not the required. Is this normally how the system requirements section works? I feel like it should list the minimum, but I am unable to find any information on which is the standard practice. P337 04:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm checking over in the CVG project, but every (modern) PC game I spotcheck seems to be only one set of reqs, so I think this is the minimum. --Masem 13:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  System Requirements 

message: I have never played the original paper version of Shadowrun though familiar with the concept and just comparing the game story to the story line for the original game on WP, it's obvious there's differences.
My suggestion: I don't believe it's wrong to not include anything about the retcon'ing or other inconsistencies between this game and the paper version history, but 1) it should not be nit-picky but instead hit a few brief major points.  and 2) I would figure there would be some well-written level-headed fan essay or two on how "bad" the 360/PC implimentation of SR is compared to what they expected, or something from FASA that states that they took liberties with the game, or the like.  Having these would help keep us unbiased and just citing sources that observe the significant deviations as a negative of the page. --Masem 05:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
