The six secret achievements in Shadowrun

Shadowrun Fever

Shadowrun is full of achievements that are fun to get. Just play for a few hours and you will start racking them up. But some achievements are harder to unlock. Some require a lot of time. Some are awarded after a rare feat. There’s even a social networking achievement that isn’t obvious on how to catch it. Here’s a list and summary of the Shadowrun secret achievements according to players on XBOX.com.

Triple Rez! - Resurrect three allies at once. 10pts.
Winning Streak - Win ten consecutive rounds. 10pts.
Shadowrun Fever! - Catch it! 25pts.
Master Gardener - Kill 5 enemies with Strangle. 25pts.
Godlike - Kill all enemy players while taking no damage yourself. 25pts.
Master Ninja - Inflict one hundred mortal wounds with the Katana. 100pts.

I’m well on my way to becoming a Master Ninja. However, I’ve got some work to do before I become a Master Gardener. I don’t have a green thumb. Shadowrun Fever? I’m ashamed that I’ve caught it.

Proof: Games for Windows Live working in Shadowrun

Published by rapture May 7th, 2007 in FASA. 3 Comments

It has been reported that HALO 2 (PC) has been delayed (I’m not expecting to get my copy tomorrow). It was originally due out May 8th but now no official release date has been given. It was rumored that there are serious problems with Games for Windows - Live and that is the cause for the delay. I suspect that to be untrue. In fact, we can see that Games for Windows - Live is working (and can read that Microsoft has mentioned other issues as to the cause for the delay for HALO 2 (PC). But GFW - Live is working. Proof?

Check out gamertag “The Todd“. When he wasn’t getting owned he found time to unlock Shadowrun cross-platform achievements (he did it on May 4th). Three of his recently unlocked achievements are:

Play Public Match with players on both XBox 360 and Windows Vista.
Play Public Match in a Party with players on both XBox 360 and Windows Vista.
Performed a cross-platform Resurrection.

There. Proof that Games for Windows - Live is working. Proof that cross-platform play is working.

By the way, how do you like his new Shadowrun gamerpic?

360Arcadians Live! Episode 16: Out of the Shadows

Published by EnragedGnome April 16th, 2007 in FASA, media and interviews. 3 Comments

The 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.

Any game (public or private) that maintains at least 4v4 for the entire round can earn achievements. So you and 7 friends can unlock them all in a private game, provided you meet the conditions.
