Shadowrun a Top 10 XBOX Live game
Published by June 23rd, 2007 in community and XBOX 360. 2 CommentsAccording to Major Nelson, Shadowrun was the 10th most played game on XBOX Live last week. The Shadowrun demo was the 5th most popular Live title for XBOX 360 (it was #3 last week).
Xbox 360 Top Live Titles (UU’s)
1 Gears of War
2 Forza Motorsport 2
3 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas
4 Guitar Hero II
5 Shadowrun Demo
6 Call Of Duty 3
7 Tenchu Z Demo
8 Prince of Persia
9 Crackdown
10 Shadowrun
Maybe the demo intrigued players enough to buy the game. Or maybe it just took a few weeks for enough people to buy the game for Shadowrun to pop into the top 10.

Published by June 21st, 2007 in technical, Vista and XBOX 360. 4 CommentsKimona sends word that the first title update for Shadowrun will go live in the following days:
As we’ve mentioned before, the team’s working on a number of title updates for Shadowrun. The first one should go live within the next day or two.
The first update will be very limited in scope. Here’s what’s on the menu:
Vista:
1) Addressed a problem with viewing Shadowrun in the Games Explorer on the Vista versions for Portugal and Finland.
2) Fixed an issue involving removing the controller while playing on Vista.
3) If you lose your connection to LIVE while playing on Vista, the UI behaves correctly now.360:
1) Fixed a hard lock that can occur when a player signs out of a profile on 360.
2) Fixed a hard lock that can occur after starting a bot match in Chapter 4 of the training.
3) Fixed an issue that affected voice-over in the Italian 360 version.Common:
- Fixed a small memory leak that could affect performance and stability in some situations.
This is good news as there are some issues that need addressing. Most gamers that are playing the game now accept these errors and can enjoy the game. But the fixes will be great in making good first impressions on new players. They also help increase replayability.
Here’s hoping for a standalone dedicated server that will run on Windows Server 2003 so that the PC community will grow. I mean, who hosts dedicated servers on Vista without breaking most all ISP’s Terms of Service? I know people have gone to jail over Shadowrun before. But I don’t want to. Even though the current servers are west coast servers (probably hosted on some corporate connection), they are a lot smoother than playing on Joe Schmoe’s XBOX 360. Oh, and achievements in dedicated servers, please! Dedicated server support for datacenter-host machines FTW!

A sweet deal for those of you looking to get HALO 2 (PC) and.or Shadowrun. This week’s Circuit City flyer has an advertisement: “Get Shadowrun Vista for free when you buy HALO 2 (PC)”. $40 will get you both games. Not bad.

I’ve written example macros for casting Tree of Life and Resurrection on a Logitech G15 keyboard. With a little grease you’ll be able to assign macros for just about any command in Shadowrun’s “quick cast” menu. I had “Gust” working the other day. Read my blog post to try the macros out for yourself.
Even with these macros, it is still faster to “quick cast” with a controller. That’s why I’m sticking to a controller for now.
