There's been some changes, the Guardian is now the Fade which teleports all over the place but most everyone agrees that it is a very faithful sequel to the mod. They added the Exo-suit last week and that marked the late beta entry for the game.

Ugh, you are right. I was thinking the Fade and wrote guardian instead.


What the hell was the Guardian? I played NS1 and never heard of the Guardian...NS1 had Fades.

Yeah I played a lot of NS1 as well and I'm not remembering a Guardian. Gorge, Lerk, Flying thing (was that Guardian?), Fade, Onos.

edit: Ah Lerk was the flying thing, Skulk was the default, fast, wall-climbing one.

One of those rare true PC games through and through. Anyone who loves class-based MP games will love this game instantly. Nice to see the pre-order climbing the Steam charts as well.

How do you know this? I played NS1 and it was awesome, but that was *10 years ago* and it was a mod. This is a full on game and I've seen several sequels completely flop.

I'm genuinely asking how you know ppl will love this - have you played the beta or something?

Yes, been playing the alpha/beta for a couple of years now. It is a great, awesome game with a strong community already. It's the kind of game you don't see anymore, something quite innovative.

Very cool - thanks for the responses. If it is anything like NS1 then I'm going to love it.

I applaud Ubisoft's stance on always-on DRM... BUT... this is just the first shoe to drop. Just wait. The second shoe will come with the headline: "Ubisoft stops all PC game development - Focuses on consoles only."

Watch and see. This is just the prelude to their exit from PC games completely, and it will probably come sooner than later.

Well, Trolls are supposed to be around 9 feet tall, and basically just absolute brick shithouses of muscle and bone. Imagine a large, green gorilla, really. So yeah, their rendition of one here as a goofy looking Tolkien Orc is quite off.

Eh. :-shrug-: :)

What I would love to see included would be Horrors. They were the blight of Earthdawn and they came to the SR universe too, how cool wouldn't it be to fight one of those?

The timeframe is probably wrong. This is set in the 2050s (ie, the golden age of Shadowrun). I believe the horrors didn't start appearing until after the whole Harlequin saga in the early 60s?

Edit: I rewatched the Q&A with Jordan and Mitch, and they said they're still debating on whether their story will be set before or after Dunkelzahn's death. (which I believe is 2058?) So if it's set after, then it's feasible.

It's definitely not right for a setting so dark as Shadowrun is. They definitely need to be going for more realistic and gritty. It makes me wonder how many people would pull their funding if they could or not have funded in the first place now.

At least the updates are regular. Haven't heard jack from Fargo and co in a long time.

I thought it all looked good (esp the city block drawings), but I have to admit I have no previous experience with the SR universe...

This is what happens when dealing with illiterate apologists. I'm sure their favorite movie is Prometheus and they voted for Obama, too.
