Whoa. I looks like the community is making a regular Shadowrun podcast covering the XBOX 360 and PC versions of Shadowrun. I can’t believe I didn’t find out until now. It looks like they are on episode #4. Go check them out:

Thanks crasher.
Tags: podcast, running in the shadowsSadistiK Rico over on the official Shadowrun forums has made some really cool images that you could use for forum signatures around the web. I think they look great.
He said:
“Assuming their is indeed an interest, these will be the first two in an 8 tag series”
So, it seems that we can look forward to more work by Rico. Sweet!

Shadowrun `Opening Cinema` Trailer (High)
IGN has some new Shadowrun content. Check out the four new screenshots (one, two, three, four). I have to say that Shadowrun is looking better than I expected it would. You can also read an article about the Achievements that are unlockable in the game.
Tags: achievements, ign, screenshotsMusic 4 Games has the scoop on Shadowrun’s soundtrack. FASA Studio Audio Director Tobin Buttrum shares some background information about some of the sounds in Shadowrun.
We had several ancient prophecies about the Return of Magic to the world written in various languages in the single-player story and Stan set them to various themes and recorded them in a choral session. In the opening cinema during the Artifact/Volcano sequence you can hear a chorus singing one of the Mayan prophecies, in the Yucateq language. I believe the line in the sequence is something like, “It has returned.”
I had to admit that this stuff has been off my radar even though I’m looking forward to the release of the game. The Barbatuques music from the E3 2006 trailer was very cool. The whole trailer was cool. I wish FASA would release it to the XBOX Live Marketplace and shadowrun.com. (By the way, watch Barbatuques perform the Baiana song from the trailer here on YouTube.)
Tags: soundtrack, tobin buttrumThe fine folks over at 360arcadians.net have managed to net an exclusive interview with Bill Fulton. There’s a lot of material covered and more than a few bits of juicy goodness inside.
The interview is basically the second hour of the show, but they talk about Shadowrun off and on throughout the whole.
A few points of interest from the interview:
1) The demo may not be released until just before or even after the game is released.
2) Downloadable content in the form of new maps, magic, and tech is likely. Multiple maps are already mostly complete, but they were cut from the retail release because they didn’t meet FASA’s high standards.
3) Achievements can only be earned in a public match with at least 4 people on each team.
4) Why doesn’t the Shadowrun FPS feature Shadowrun staples such as decking and rigging? One of the best answers I’ve heard can be found just after timestamp 1:32:25.
UPDATE: Bill Fulton took the time to clarify how achievements work.

TeamXBOX has 33 new screenshots and 7 gameplay videos. The videos are in WMVHD format at 1280 x 720 resolution. Give them a look and check out their Shadowrun media blowout.
Tags: screenshots, teamxbox, videoToday the NDA for the Shadowrun beta test was lifted. Testers are now free to talk about the game in public. Some videos are beginning to pop up on YouTube and other places.
Tester S8 Biggs has released a 15-minute long video that takes you from the dashboard right into the gameply. The video, which doesn’t have any audio, does a good job of showing some of Shadowrun’s game features. It’s the best video released thus far (it’s only been less than 24-hours).
Please note that the final art for the game isn’t not in this beta build. If you want to know what Shadowrun will look like, then check out these screenshots or visit the game’s official website.

Tags: trailer, video, websiteThe official Shadowrun website has gotten a new look. The URL for the site is http://shadowrun.com. It’s full of organized information about the game.
FASA had some fun putting the site together. They have hidden at least one easter egg on the site. Over at the Shadowrun forums Piett held a mini-contest. The first person to find the easter egg got admission into the Shadowrun beta. Looks like Talksee is the winner. Congrats.
