Shadowrun end of beta event and faq
Apr 30 is the official end of beta for Shadowrun. A lot of the developers will be on IRC during the day monday.
Also posted was the end of beta faq it includes demo info.
My only concern with the beta is with cheesing. In the beta videos I didn't see anyone cheesing. (#7 Definition). This will make or break the game. If the game is fun to play and the glitches are nonexistent, the game will flourish. If the game is glitch riddled or has 1 or 2 overpowered combos or overpowered shotgun in gears of war.
This game also needs to rev up the hype machine. Not many people that play games casually know about shadowrun. FASA needs to hire someone like cliffy b to hype it up. He did a great job hyping up Gears Of War.
I am really looking forward to this game. It looks to me like Counterstrike meets Halo. Peanut butter and Chocolate all over again.
With the beta coming to an end, we'd like to invite all fans of Shadowrun to join us in one last get together before the beta wraps up.
Join us on IRC chat channel #Shadowrun.FASA on the Gamesurge server from 1-7 PM PDT on Monday, April 30th. We'll be giving away prizes, answering questions about the game, and chatting with everyone while we play Shadowrun.

Q: When will the demo come out?
A: We can't announce a date yet. We should be able to tell you what the release date will be soon.
Q: What will the demo be like? Just like the beta?
A: Can't discuss it at the moment, but please stay tuned.
Q: Will the demo be playable outside of the US?
A: Yes! US, Canada, Latin America, much of Europe, and even some parts of Asia. And it will be localized. We think Shadowrun sounds really cool in Chinese, especially.
Q: So what did you learn from the beta? Did it make the game better?
A: We got a ton of great information about networking, game balance, economy, bugs, and teamwork / community out of the beta. We're telling everyone in Xboxland that closed public betas are the way to go to make better multiplayer games. It certainly made ours a lot better. And in the process, we got to know a lot of great people. And they kicked our butts at our own game. Hm.
