Wow... I'm speechless. This looks so beautiful. I probably shouldn't say this but, they should have stuck with this version and never of done the current one.

Wasn't this on the original xbox. Beautiful graphics for it to be so old.

 

What was up with the background?

 

EDIT: It looked like he was teleporting throughout the video, no? It was either that or something they did so they could show off the game and graphics easier.

WOW, THE SUBWAY LEVEL WOULD'VE BEEN PERFECT FOR MP, I COULD JUST SEE A BATTLE HAPPENING THERE.

SO THIS IS WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN IN IT FOR US, A SP CAMPAIGN WITH BEING ABLE TO SWITCH TO THIRD PERSON AS SHOWN,  As well as A MAP EDITOR, (AND POSSIBLY THE ORKS as dlc later on as hinted when installing the pc version).

HOWEVER SINCE SHADOWRUN FELL SHORT, AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS DUE TO IT BEING VISTA EXCLUSIVE, IF IT WASN'T, I'M SURE WE WOULD'VE GOT THIS IN THE END.

EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR THE REST!

You know Jack is going to crack a smile and shed a tear for this.

I wish we could see this as Shadowrun DLC in some way. I know, pipe dream, but one could hope.

GFWL - Because Section 8 showed that SOME single player content is better than NO single player content.

WooHoo!!

I finally got some posts deleted Stick out tongue

lol

I'm so ashamed Embarrassed

 

Anyway, like I said on my missing post, I've seen parts of this, but never this "long" version.

Sure it would be an interesting level to add to the game as a DLC, but I wonder, since I don't see any information saying it is a FASA developed piece, not to mention the odd lighting tests that were used (anyone noticed, Matrix, Sky Captain, Black & White as well as the others?) which seemed quite unnecessary as far as an initial test sequence.  I'm wondering about the walkthrough also going out of the way to show pipes and other parts of the environment, yes I get that it's necessary to get the meshes to work together and everything, but it just seemed odd that there wasn't more "Shadowrunny" content outside of the RNA(?) uniformed humans.  I guess what I am saying is that this could be something that was modded from another game engine, perhaps Source?  Unfortunately I've not used the Source engine so I really can't say.

 

Regardless, I'd still like to have seen something like a subway level, it could have been pretty fun.

 

Sidenote:

hmm, speaking of modding, now that the dev kit for U3 engine is free, maybe I should have a looksy Geeked if I only had the time to fully redo the game...
