GURPS Shadowrun

4th Edition Shadowrun is also distinctly NOT Shadowrun, it doesn't have the same feel it had when FASA owned the game or anything else that actually attracts me as a player or GM - I view the whole thing with intense dislike.

Yes the implementation in SR 3e was definitely cinematic, but the whole world was that way so there's really nothing against it for that. But a game that distinctly resets the entire technology base that was used in the original timeline and system then reworks it for full line simsense/decking on Wireless waves? Doesn't make any sense. Radio waves just don't have the necessary bandwidth to run that sort of thing across.

But this isn't a SR forum and I'm not getting into that old argument.
