The fine folks over at FASA Studios have just opened up a public beta for ‘Shadowrun’ and they asked me to spread the word.

Here are all of the Min Reqs...

The beta is expected to begin early to mid December 2006 and run through March 2007. Currently we are in the process of gathering names of potential participants. To qualify you need:

· Either an Xbox 360 with a hard drive or a high end PC running Windows Vista. We will be publishing the minimum spec for the PC shortly.

· An Xbox Live Gold account.

· Broadband access.

· Enough time to play from home on a regular basis.

· A willingness to communicate on the beta forums.

Game looks alright, and I'll give it a shot.

In the Req's I just posted, I realize it says a Vista computer also... However, in the forums a dev posted that the beta is for 360 only... Perhaps they will be testing out some of the Live Anywhere features which is why it would be nice for users to have Vista computers (when they can get them in January).

*bump* Anybody sign up?

I tried, but when I hit 16 for the age I couldn't get any further. It wants me to print out some stupid forum and have my parents sign it then fax it back. It's not worth all the effort. I changed the age on the account but it still comes back up with the screen wanting my parents permission before I can sign up for anything... how stupid.

That is why you ALWAYS lie about your age.

Bouncer: How old are you?
Kid: 24
Bouncer: GTFO! *cracks kid's back*


Also, I signed up. It is taking a while to load. :\

EDIT: Signed up and waiting approval/next action.

Pfff, I'm nearly 20 and get mistaken for still being in High School.

Bummer. Well that's just a legal thing where you technically can't sign any legal documents yourself, and people will be signing NDA's, which is a legal contract. They just need your parent's permission to do so.

So glad I don't have to go through that anymore.

Approved immediately

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Approved :x. Sounds like fun. >_>

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Approved immediately

No, that's approved to access the materials. It means you are qualified to be selected for the beta.

Actual beta selection will be sometime in December.

Psh, my mom's 38 and she got asked at the movie theater if she was over 18.

Oh and this game looks like shit. And a complete mockery and disgrace of what Shadowrun even is.

 

[CptStern]

omg your mom is in my age group .......is she sexeh?


any word on the pc beta? I'm assuming it'll hit around Feb of next year to coincide with vista release but I'm more interested in details such as if pc gamers will play with xbox gamers ...prepare to be owned if true

I'm 23 (almost 24) & people think I look 19. Doesn't bother me at all - kind of enjoy it.

 

[destrukt]

Hell, I'm 19 and I've been told I look 15-16 before (By 17 year old girls and being told you look young by people younger than you is kind of weird) otherwise basically everyone agrees I look a few years younger than I am. It's good.

He's just mad he doesn't have a 360
