FASA showed the love by recently holding a screenshot caption contest. They’ve announced the winners at http://shadowrun.com. In case that news post gets taken down, you can access them at the links below. I think they saved the best for last.

Reviewers are saying that Shadowrun’s graphics are lacking. Were they playing the game back through a 1970’s washed out CRT? Gross.
What’s not gross are some of the new screenshots I’ve uploaded. We are up to 151 screenshots now. Go here to my Flickr account to view the latest.
You can view the images at up to 1680 x 1050 or 1600 x 1200. Here’s a sample of what you’ll see:
Check back later for more screenshots.

Below is an example of a dedicated server’s .config file as (oddly enough) found in the root directory of the DVD.

I can say that it’s not intuitive on just how to set up a dedicated server on a box at a data center. In fact, I don’t think there are any instructions for it. There are instructions on getting a dedicated server installed on a local machine. But hosting dedicated servers locally is old technology. PC gamers are used to hosting dedicated servers from data centers located around the country.
Regardless, I’m going to have to create an .iso image file of the DVD to run remotely from the data center. I am unaware if my CD key will be invalid on that server. I suspect that it might. Additionally, I am probably doing something illegal by making an .iso version of the game and uploading it to a remote location.
More on the dedicated server issue later.

The graphics in Shadowrun for both XBOX 360 and Windows Vista have gotten a lot better. With all of the particle effects used during gameplay (and there are so many more in the final version) and the new lighting system, the game looks stunning.
I’ve begun taking screenshots of the PC version of Shadowrun. The images were originally captured at 1680 x 1050 with maximum graphical settings. The shots were taken with an nVidia 8800 GTX. I’ve uploaded them to my Flickr account for you to view.
I will be uploading new screenshots throughout the day. So please check back at that URL for new screenshots.
