Uhm, did you read OP!?I wouldn't mind if they made something in the vein of Cyberpunk, but scaled back.
While they're at it, they should bring this back:

Yep and I said "I wouldn't mind." Does not mean I'm expecting that. Everything is speculation at this point anyway.

I found the first PC game boring. Supposedly, Dragonfall is an improvement over that. If you can snag them for cheap, definitely worth it. Also recommend the SNES game

I enjoyed the story (except the second part of the first game), setting and gameplay (resolving situations based on the skills you upgraded) but i would say the combat didn't had much dept, just served it's purpose. Less than a buck is a steal and even if, for some reason, you don't enjoy them, it's not a big loss.

As much as I enjoyed Shadowrun on 360 for what it was and the Harebrain Shadowrun trilogy, they didn't scratch the same itch as Shadowrun on SNES. So if this is true, I'm hoping it's a bigger scale version of that

Ah, fair enough.

How about a good game and not the equivalent of the old Warcraft 3 CS mod.

Okay, but which studio will make this Shadowrun game? Wonder if Todd will let Obsidian handle Fallout and Bethesda will make a Shadowrun game.

I like that Shadowrun trilogy. A new Shadowrun would be pretty cool.

There hands are full though. They even hinted they might work on Fallout next.

Microsoft returned the rights of Shadowrun and Battletech to Jordan Weisman and his hairbrained schemes company. One of the less annoying decisions they have made. Their next game is new IP Lamplighters League not Shadowrun, but I suppose Shadowrun might be due a new game this decade, if the interest is still there with Cyberpunk doing well.
The news here is probably just backward compatibility with online servers being enabled for their 360 Shadowrun game.

They licensed the IP from Microsoft, like Piranha Games with Mechwarrior 5. Microsoft still holds the digital rights to FASA IPs.

Great, I was only very grudgingly respecting the business decisions of Microsoft, so I'm glad to hear that hand around these beloved IPs to any of their purchased studios that ask for them, so they can "make them their own" with an exciting "not your daddy's battletech/shadowrun" GaaS game.

It might be Infinity Ward's Polish studio

Infinity Ward might be working on an open-world RPG that’s not Call of Duty
While an RPG take of Call of Duty sounds interesting, Infinity Ward is probably working on a different IP for Activision Blizzard.

I just want a reboot/remake of the 16-bit era ones, even the Sega CD one that didn’t make it out of Japan was really interesting

Insane... Would this be the first non call of duty thing IW has worked on?It might be Infinity Ward's Polish studio

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Didn't they also revive the Shadow run servers, like the Call of Duty ones ?
Might be something to it.

Something tells me they’d more likely reboot crimson skies and shadow run and leave battletech dormant/ keep licensing it to PGI. It just feels like they don’t give a F about btech. At least PGI cares about the IP and the prior games whereas MS would probably make some gaas mechassault 3 monstrosity that they would screw up anyway.

There's a really great 1UP Yours episode from 2007 where Shawn Elliott (Arkane/Irrational now directing the new Bioshock) grills and picks apart that crappy old Shadowrun reboot with FASA's Mitch Gitelman.
You'd never get this kind of challenging debate nowadays on podcasts with devs. No one has the balls.

Just sit right back, and settle in, because we’re taking you on an almost three hour cruise this week. With John away on an assignment GFW’s Shawn Elliot sits in, and brings a little PC…

Battletech and Shadowrun IP are in a great place in terms of reputation compared to IP they do care about like Halo. It would be great Battletech had a fraction of the "relevance" that 40K has, but Microsoft are not the company to manage that.

So there's no market for Banjo Kazooie, but Psychonauts 2 came out and they're working on games like Shadowrun.
Doesn't add up to me.
