Shadowrun Screens
With, you guessed it, a press release!
FASA Studio, the creative minds behind “MechWarrior®” and “Crimson Skies®,” are back with “Shadowrun,” the new multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) based on the much-beloved role-playing game (RPG) franchise. “Shadowrun” propels team-based combat into a new dimension with a revolutionary blend of modern weaponry and ancient magic. Up to 16 players can battle for control of this new world through Xbox 360-to-Windows Vista online compatibility. In “Shadowrun” players vie for supremacy in a constantly evolving battlefield where advanced technology and ancient magic provide an unprecedented and high-velocity tactical action experience.
Features:
Rich legacy brought to life. After a 5,000-year absence, magic has returned to the world of 2021, and global corporate might battles a relentless ancient order to harness this reawakened power. Be a part of the RNA, a global megacorporation, and bring order (and profit) to a world of chaos. Or join the Lineage to keep magic wild and free at all costs. Choose a side and wage war for the future of magic in the new world of “Shadowrun.”
Bending reality and changing the rules of combat. Dive into a universe where ancient magic co-exists with deadly weaponry, and experience a revolution in multiplayer FPS gaming. Purchase advanced technology and magic for each round in an extraordinary arms race to improve your abilities and open new tactics for your team. Use your cybernetic eye to spot your enemy through walls, teleport behind your opponents in the blink of an eye, trigger a hologram as a distraction, and cut them down with a burst from your rifle to clear the room before they even know you are there.
Intense cross-platform multiplayer action. For the first time ever, Xbox 360 and Windows Vista gamers can compete as a team or as foes. Experience a quantum leap in interactivity as console and Windows Vista-based PC gamers battle for supremacy online via Windows Vista and the Xbox Live® service. While “Shadowrun” gamers will battle endlessly for the right to be crowned the last man standing, they will also struggle to answer the question of which is the more-efficient killer: a Windows®-based PC or Xbox 360. Through the unprecedented cross-platform functionality, up to 16 gamers using both a Windows-based PC and the Xbox 360 console will participate together in the ultimate multiplayer frag-fest. Don’t be sidelined onto one platform: Control your own destiny and play on the console or the PC.
Classic races reinterpreted for a new world. Experience the thrill of combat as magic reawakens creatures of legend. Humans are joined by elves, dwarves and trolls in a battle for supremacy among soaring corporate towers and an ancient ziggurat of power. Strike a balance on your team with races possessing unique abilities that complement your weapons and tactics.
The ultimate online (and offline) battlefield. Fight against or alongside AI teammates or join up with friends against all comers via System Link, Split-screen, LAN and Xbox Live. Fill out your team with incredible AI characters that respond to each tactical situation and provide an unparalleled team experience. Train offline with the robust AI, or play through a host of minigames cooperatively online with your friends as you master the magic and technology of “Shadowrun.”
After a long night of podcasting, we finally got around to recording our own show. Which meant we were drunk off our asses..more than usual. We managed to talk about Boom Blox and R-Type Command, however. You can check it all out on this week's Team Fremont Live.
By the way, me were guests on the The Married Gamers Podcast, so if you're not sick of our crap...well...there's more to be had.
What can I say? It's been a slow week. So let's talk about cabins and Pineapple Express, shall we?
Damn it!!! We lost the bet and this episode represents our punishment for the loss! Just a heads up. While we're usually NSFW, this one is REALLY NSFW! You've been warned. Steve Perry really makes us mad.
In addition to that cucumber sporting bastard, we're talking about Ikaruga for XBLA and Phil Haymes joins us with the British Drunken Gamers for a review of Mario Kart for the Wii!
All this and more on this week's Team Fremont Live!
I rage about activist douche bags, contemplate buying a pinball table, and pine for pomegranate juice in this week's CWJ.
Damn it! We actually DID do a live show but my drunk ass managed too screw up the recording!So here's the non live version of this week's episode..and I think it's better anyway.
We review Rez HD, tell stories of our time with the Twin Galaxies guys as we talk about The King of Kong DVD and go old school with Astrosmash!
All this and more on the latest Team Fremont Live!
Dont' forget to tune it next week, Feb. 10 at 7:00pm CST for our live call-in show!
Phil's gone and I'm sad. Let's wish him off in this week's CWJ.
Hey asshole! Get out of my way! I need to buy my kid a Mr. Potatohead! I'll take a Barbie doll and use it to gouge out your fucking eyes!Cooking with John.
It's late. I'm tired. And I'm babbling again. This time about Don Rickles. Kind of. I need sleep.
DAMN IT! I got screwed by Ubercaster again this week. You'll hear where. But despite that, we manage to talk about Guitar Hero 3 and some God of War for PSP. Moe also has some thoughts on Little Nemo for NES.
Special thanks to Mrs. Trickman and Mrs. Cade for the heart warming intro!
Sorry about the shitty audio this week. Not sure what settings I had on the old Ubercaster this week, but they made us sound like we're in an amped up bathtub! But despite the shower like tones, you can hear us talking about Halo 3 and the new Fighter Stick EX2 for the 360!
That and news about John's lisp on the latest Team Fremont Live!
If you'd stop cock-blocking me I'd give that news some super sexy lovin'! Nothing like a rowdy drunk...Anyway, I'm talking NFL, baby tours, motor oil, and public urination in Cooking with John this week. Check it out - uninterrupted - here.
Damn am I tired...It's a bit more baby talk this week as I answer a few of your letters. Enjoy while I go take a nap.
Sigh...10 people drunk out of their minds makes for one HARD editing session. So, this week's TFL will be a little late. In the meantime, we'll tide you over with the latest episode of Team Fremont Puppet Theater!
Enjoy!
The lesson of this week's Cooking with John is "Never try to understand the mind of a gamer." For example, what would inspire someone who doesn't read Japanese and hates Japanese RPGs to buy three of them?Prepare to be mystified. Find it here.
It got a little heated on this week's episode, but we all had a good time in the end, thanks to Sailor Jerry!We talk about The Darkness for the 360 and Super Stardust HD on the PS3 along with Turbo Talk from John!
Check it out on this week's Team Fremont Live!
We're back at the Team Fremont Bar this week and that means we're drunk. And the show is long. Go figure.
