Shadowrun FPS Forums Retired 62
With FASA studios closed and the Shadowrun IP now under better care, what remains of the disastrous Shadowrun FPS is now being swept under the rug. Team Xbox notes that the official forums for the game are going to be closed. This news comes with hope for a better tomorrow from the ex-FASA folks: "We're going to be closing down the Shadowrun forums in about two weeks. As many of you know, the old FASA crew has mostly moved on to other roles within Microsoft, and that means we don't have enough people to monitor and respond to posts here for the coming year. We'll eventually close down www.shadowrun.com and transition it to the folks working on the next generation of Shadowrun products."

Ironically, SR has been one of the most influential RPG properties of the last few decades. "The Matrix" was based on a Shadowrun short story [which was the back half of Virtual Realities, for those who played that long ago and still have memory of those days]. And yet these funny FASA fellows never did seem to be able to make a buck - or a decent video game [the FPS not being the first try] - out of it. Finally, they just sold off and closed doors, and the property has suffered - in my opinion - ever since. But I thought it started declining with the death of Findlay and the departure of Dowd, which really just means I'm old.
