Shadowrun NDA Lifted

Submitted by Oculus on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 4:23pm.

Update: cool beta vid - http://useruploads.mythica.org/view/Shadowrun.wmv

As reported by rapture here the Shadowrun Non Disclosure Agreement has been lifted allowing the beta testers to fully talk about the game without worrying about getting a lawsuit slapped on them. This comes soon after a not so smart beta tester decided to break the NDA and post a video of himself playing the game on youtube. The genius also forgot to blur out his gamertag. As I currently understand, videos are still under NDA, but people can now talk about the game without restrictions. Whether or not the lifting of the NDA is related to the video leak is not known, but it doesn't matter since the cat is already out of the bag. Now, does anybody have some cool things you'd like to share (ahem...) about your experience with the game so far? I'm pretty interested in this game from what I've seen of it, but discussion has been limited because of the NDA. I do know that a whole bunch of people are registered for the beta invite, and many more will be invited in the near future.

Submitted by Oculus on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 5:43pm.

I should have been more clear. I don't know the guy or his gamertag off hand, but I did see the video. I could post the link, but I'm also trying to get in the beta, so I'll just let people find it on their own.

I've had a 4-page Word

Submitted by rapture on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 7:32pm.

I've had a 4-page Word document ready for a few weeks. I need to make several edits to it since the latest patch which totally changed the game. In short, I still like the game and think most HALO 1 fans will like it. However, knowing what I know, I'm a little disappointed in a few things.

If you guys have any questions, let me know and I'll answer them. You might want to look on YouTube for videos first.

To summarize Shadowrun, I think this game is HALO 1's gameplay + HALO 2's XBL lobby system + HD graphics + a performance/team-play based cash reward system + a toolbox of technology and magic.

If Counter-strike was a mod to Half-Life, Shadowrun is a mod to HALO 1.

Submitted by rapture on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 7:37pm.

BTW: Yours truly is a top 3 Shadowrun player. I think I would have been at the top if I had been playing on a wired connection the whole time. I just switched from the wireless adapter to the wired adapter and it's rare that I don't finish in the top 2 for kills and cash.

Think anybody else could get in by your accord? Or is that a no-go? If it's too much of a hassle, don't worry about it, man. I'm just REALLY looking forward to this game. :)

Shadowrun video. 15-min.

Submitted by rapture on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 9:56pm.

I posted a link to a 15-min long Shadowrun video in the original post. Take a look. It's the best quality vid released. Gameplay isn't that great, but it shows off a lot of gameplay features.
