FASA publishes Shadowrun Vista FAQ

Kimona has posted a lot of new information specific to Shadowrun for Windows Vista over on the official game forums. She covers a lot of bases about playing Shadowrun on a computer. There is also some information for XBOX 360 gamers as well although this is a Vista-specific FAQ. Go over there and give it a read if you are interested in learning more about the differences (and similarities) between PC and XBOX 360 play.

Some new information from the FAQ:

  • dedicated server admins control map and gametype rotation
  • you can view ping times for the servers
  • PC players can play at higher framerates
  • An nVidia 7800 or ATI x1800 video cards are recommended
  • 2GB of RAM is recommended along with a dual core processor
  • Minimum specs: an nVidia 6800 or ATI x800 and P4 3.2 Ghz
  • Same achievements available for both platforms
  • lots of video settings can be tweaked in-game

Finally we have some information about the Vista version of Shadowrun.

XBL players won’t be able to be able to browse dedicated server lists

Odd. Picked this up from an interview with Bill Fulton over at games.yahoo.com.

“Xbox Live players won’t be able to browse dedicated server lists–only Windows players will be able to do that. Xbox 360 players will be able to join dedicated servers if a friend is in one, either through the guide or by a friend invite.”

Anyone got any ideas as to why this is the case?
