Argh! This thread has to stop getting posted to if it's not to announce the game releasing, it's killing me! To clarify, the game was submitted and will release as soon as Apple approves it. Hopefully they just do a stealth release
Glad to see that it scales well on a smaller tablet. That was my biggest concern. Can't wait to start playing it, I held off on playing the main campaign and stuck with user created content for the PC.
Well it's been 2 weeks and a day since it was submitted, what's the hold up apple? We want to play dammit, especially while some of us still have money to spend maybe tomorrow, or Tuesday, or Wednesday Wednesdays are usually the main day of the week for ios releases, isn't it?
Glad to see that it'll be a simultaneous release with Android. After years of being jealous of iPad only games with my iPhone at least there's a few that I can now play on my Nexus 7 and sounds like I won't have to wait (as there often is a lag between releases).
It is in the hands of Apple now. Hopefully the Apple announcement event on September 10 doesn't increase the approval/review time.
As for the game itself I like the old-school feel of it, but the combat is too basic for me. I prefer the system from X-COM, or even better, the original X-COM The story and dialogues are good though and I'd recommend it to all old-school rpg fans.
Buy this for story, not for combat. Reminder: if this one ever comes on shelf, check the iPad games section, not this one...
Not listed in the releases for New Zeland today 9/11. So I don't expect it this week in the US. Oh well.
Harebrained Schemes has said they are going to release as soon as it's approved, so I would keep my eyes open for this to just pop on the AppStore at some point. I don't expect the usual Wednesday night NZ release schedule, I really think we will see a simultaneous worldwide launch like Terraria and Junk Jack X did. Edit: Hopefully soon but they did just submit it sometime last week and things seem to be taking longer to get approved with the lead up to iOS7
Please turn up today or at least before Sunday. C'mon Apple. To be honest this actually way more exciting than the new Iphone 5C with $29 silicon case lol. Have anyone contacted the dev or tweet to ask them about the release date?
Don't hold your breath, it'll come when it does. Hell, we don't have confirmation that it was actually submitted. They said they were submitting it last week, but they never said they actually DID. Like with a lot of the newer games, it's very likely this will not be on the regular release schedule and might just sneak up ala eclipse. Patience, young Shadowrunner. Paticnece. And lets stop bumping this damn thread, I keep expecting to see it!
So, did HS actually submitted Shadowrun Returns to Apple last week? If so, Why does the approval/review process is taking so long? (no excuse for the keynote event, it is not really impressive.)
I would say everything is taking longer to get through the submission process right now because the lead up to iOS 7 next week.
Just to let everyone know that Harebrained Schemes did confirm on Sept. 12th on their website that the game had been submitted to apple, they didn't say when it was submitted, just that it had been submitted to apple by that point.
