Shadowrun Returns Q&A with Jordan Weisman and Mitch Gitelman!
And voila: our Mitch and Jordan SRR Q&A! As most of you know, Mitch and Jordan had no idea what they were going to be asked, so all their answers are deliciously raw. But as far as those answers go, you know the drill: everything’s a work in progress, ideas are subject to change, some ideas in the video just burst up on the spot—all that jazz. Basically, the video’s totally honest, but honest for what’s true right now. As with all game development, we have to balance what’s cool versus time and money. And some of our ideas just don’t come out the way we imagine them. But hey, we hope this video will show that we’re not only listening to your questions and suggestions, but also that we appreciate them. Having such an enthusiastic crowd supporting our work is pretty much the best. We look forward to reading your comments, debates and constructive suggestions. Thanks again for everything!

Creator Tobi (Crusader Kickstarter pls!!) on July 10, 2012
that was awesome, thanks guys!
Creator sitasan on July 10, 2012
about the interview:
it was awesome. i enjoy it a lot, they are funny, and give a strong feeling of honesty with what they want and can do with Shadowrun returns
Creator sitasan on July 10, 2012
@all
problem came from IE 7.0 lol, i tryed from my work...at home i use Chrome, and it work just fine ;)
Thx for your help anyway, love SR community, you all rock!!!
Creator TheChosenOne on July 10, 2012
Actually they don't, I.E. is losing ground every day, Chrome is getting bigger each day.
Creator ET3D on July 10, 2012
Loved the interview. If I'd seen this when the Kickstarter was running I might have pledged something. It made me want to buy the game.
Creator Caffeine Junkie on July 10, 2012
Yes they do, pretty much as much as any other browser.
Creator TheChosenOne on July 10, 2012
People still use IE? O_o
Creator Bjoern Grebe on July 10, 2012
@ sitasan
It shouldn't download anything, it's just a link to the harebrained schemes website.
You could try the direct link to youtube.

Hope it's O.K. to post that here.
Creator sitasan on July 10, 2012
im sorry but how to read the Mitch and Jordan SRR Q&A! ????
When i click on it IE told me to dowload a file of 15 Kb, but i dunno what to do with it.
Thx a lot
Creator Joshua R on July 9, 2012
I thought the Matrix question was very well answered and should allay the concerns of everyone except those who had their hearts set on a completely Matrix-specific game system, which obviously isn't realistic. Sounds like HBSis doing everything they can to make it a rich and satisfying experience.
Creator Bryce on July 9, 2012
Great update. Can't wait to see more!
Creator RC on July 9, 2012
@William Chummer, I was red-facedly laughing the whole time! Seriously fantastic interview, lots of good info, and Jordan & Mitch totally need to take that act on the road (AFTER SRR is released...;) - Great Job Sally!! And thanks guys, I'm happy to help out however I can! This interview was fantastic, and I'm somehow evern MORE excited for Shadowrun Returns to come out!! SO much so, it's like a cranial NUKE of AWESOME exploded in my brain!! ^_`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'
Creator William Schott on July 9, 2012
Was RC's heart broken for half a sec or was he laughing the whole time?
Creator Azriel on July 9, 2012
Nice vid, still bummed that there will be no true matrix though.
Creator Grenville Wilson on July 9, 2012
This rocked, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to do this, guys.
Creator Fredric Roth V on July 9, 2012
Sweet video. Has there been any mention on the timeline for us getting out gear?
Creator Wayne F Newton on July 9, 2012
Ok Still wish I knew if vehicles will be playing their part!
Creator Fredrik Josefsson on July 9, 2012

Creator Psygo on July 9, 2012
