How much did the Shadowrun license cost then?
Must not have been all that much, but lets face it, Microsoft's attempted rape failed fucking horribly.

Though I'm geared for both this, and Cyberpunk RPG, I don't completely Trust these guys. They seemed more interested in their video diaries about milking people for cash than spilling details on the game, which is what they SHOULD have been excited about, if it's more than a money venture!

Eh, fuck it. Too much reading.
They were a KOTOR 2 restoration project, and then sucked a big one. That's all I'm gonna take from that.
Anyway, what are the odds, really, that Shadowrun becomes vaporware?

I prefer them not waisting time with catering to the fans and press with news snippets and just focus on developing the game.

This sounds suspiciously like a comment I heard a bunch of fans re-iterating on a site called www.team-gizka.org

Well, unlike Team Gizka they have a deadline and paying customers. And unlike Team Gizka they have to rely on delivering a game or their job future and credibility would be nuked. They aren't anonymous.

And it's not that they don't report about the project. Recently they released artwork, some of it good some of it left behind my expectations (because cartoony).

Yeah, for example, characters looked awful (like Gorillaz).

Am I alone in not really caring too much about the art? As long as the characters aren't flaming fudge packers I'm good. I just really want something along the line of SNES & Genesis Shadowrun.

Genesis, SNES wasn't very good.

Art looked fine, it's just that the orc and characters look like shit.

I liked both. Genesis is the more like the PnP but I found the SNES version charming. The Matrix content sucked ass though.

Who's talking about art? I'd just like to see some shots of how this game is going to play, given it's release is right around the corner. Colour me a sceptic.

The art style in the shadowrun pnp rpg was always realistic. Doing it cartooney would heavily surpass what SR is about. One of the latest ruleeditions had some cartoony (less cartoony than shown in SR Returns) artwork in it and from what I heard fans were really upset and they revised it in the latest edition.

Remember, we're releasing the level editor for Shadowrun Returns so you can create your own interior and exterior environments and your own missions/stories to share with your friends or the entire Shadowrun Returns community.

"We want to give you the tools to be a Shadowrun Game Master and to create the cool environments, the sophisticated NPC logic, and the engaging dialog interactions you need to bring your stories to life (without having to write code or learn a scripting language). It's something we love about tabletop gaming and something we're dedicated to delivering.

Insert clever insult here
Troll decker, ork rigger, elf samurai, dwarf mercenary, human shaman, humanoid mage, human/elf punk-ganger. The character style doesn't impress me too much but neither does it enrage me, so I guess it's good for what it is.
