FASA Rumor & Follow-up [Mar 21, 2007, 10:12 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Official
Shadowrun Community Forum has a post from a user claiming to have knowledge
of plans to close the developer of Shadowrun shortly (thanks
Xbox 360 Fanboy and
Slashdot). The users bona fides are questioned by the other forum members,
and a subsequent post by Kimona, FASA lead program manager suggests that there
are changes afoot that are part of the usual conclusion of a project, but the
studio is not closing:
Shadowrun will be shipping soon. It's been a long three years for many on the team. I'm certain that some folks will be leaving us to do other things after we ship. That's normal, and it's healthy, too. As for our contingent staff here, they're just that - contingent. They have a maximum amount of time they can work here before taking a mandatory break. Many of them are complete star performers, but when the job's done, they move on, and the job's almost done.
The personal attacks on team members are inappropriate. We're locking this thread accordingly.
Yes, bring back multiplayer mech games! I practically grew up with Netmech. EA's probably still sitting on the rights to MPBT:3025 but a "spiritual successor" would do just fine. I'm not going to hold out any hopes for it though, it seems FASA/Microsoft would rather appease console kiddies, and Battletech games are bit too complicated for most of them.
