This post was written on Wednesday, when the previously announced Shadowrun trailer was briefly available from the Shadowrun website. Lucky for us, we managed to grab it before it was mysteriously pulled. Unfortunately, the uploaded trailer disagreed with YouTube. But, now the trailer is all over the place, so, without further ado, we present you with the latest Shadowrun trailer. The trailer is actually pretty slick. We like the fact that it emphasizes tactics over pure firepower or twitch reflexes. That's a message that Microsoft is going to have to make loud and clear if they want Shadowrun to appeal to more than just the hardcore audience. Then again, we pretty much represent the hardcore audience, so we'll be plenty happy as long as the game delivers the goods. You can watch the trailer after the break.
We particularly dig the Hispanic Brazilian troll that narrates the trailer. He needs a name. We shall call him Rodrigo! If you so desire, you can grab the trailer in 720p. Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got to go stream this to the 360. We suddenly find ourselves with a powerful need for this game. Anyone else?
Update: As commenter Vitor points out, our kick ass troll friend, Rodrigo, is probably Brazilian, as the trailer takes place in Brazil. Viva Brasilia!
