For those not in the know, last year the creator of Shadowrun ran a kickstarter to make a new game after licensing the IP. Shadowrun is originally a pen and paper RPG system set in a cyberpunk future mixed with magic/fantasy, it spawned a Super Nintendo and Genesis RPG, and some shooter for 360 that didn't last very long.

I've been paying attention to it throughout development and it's been looking really, really good. Combat looks like it has traces of the old Fallout games, and the dev has mentioned influences from XCOM as well.

I love the Shadowrun universe so much. That the combat looks a bit like old Fallout games is a bonus, to me anyway.

We played SR as a P&P RPG. There were a number of cool things about the game, but oh my was it broken. It's funny to think that in 7 short years we are going to be plugging keyboards into our heads.

I'm so excited, I love the Shadowrun universe and I had so much fun with the Pen and Paper RPG.
