BioShock

[Nesh]

XBL = X Box Live

Oh now I get it

I am referring to the quoted article not what Tap In said:

And, poignantly enough, developer Irrational Games opted to show off BioShock on the 360 in particular, even though it's also headed to the PC and PlayStation 3.

edit: Noticed it is an old article. I thought it was new. The game should still be exclusive on 360

this week's 1up show is about this. talks about the story A LOT. I just started watching it but they didn't reveal any spoilers or anything yet.

Lots of rumors still flying about regarding "timed exclusive," but it's an FPS, so who cares what console it goes to?

(OH YES I WENT THERE! DID YOU SEE THAT? LOLZ!)


<coughs> Sorry...

Good preview:

With Steinman downed, your first couple hours of BioShock come to an end. It certainly felt more like a shooter than you expected it to -- or, more appropriately, more like an action game. That's no criticism of the gunplay, but with so many other options and limited gun ammo in many areas, the game certainly encourages you to play with different ways to approach scenes.

So while there's been a lot of talk about whether BioShock is more of a shooter or more of an RPG, it seems -- in the first few hours, at least -- to be a first-person action game that involves a lot of shooting, but involves a lot of other stuff as well.

In the first couple hours, the game looks incredible, controls very well, has fantastic pacing and atmosphere, and yet still feels like it's just getting started. Now the challenge is on for the rest of the game.

I'm staying away from all Bioshock previews and trailers. So that I will enjoy it that much more when it finally comes out.

For the PC of course

I agree, i've been sold several times over so the only thing that all these videos will serve to do is possibly spoil the final game.

Gotta play this on console 'cause of the big screen and good sound system

Plus you know you're guaranteed a certain level of performance. On my PC (especially for a game as appealing as this!), I know I'd be thinking of upgrading the GPU or something... Damn technology!

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I haven't found any min specs or release date for the PC version. This might either be my last game on my current build or first on the next.

the 1up video had no spoilers. they just show a bunch of clips of the combat (in pretty random areas) and a big daddy animation. you don't see a story spoiler really. they talk a lot about how they came up with the story and who they got to work on the game.

Couldn't of said it better myself. There is nothing else more that could be shown/known to me about this game that would make me NOT want to buy this game.

It's a lock. No point in teasing myself by trying to watch all the vids. I am going to try and hold off as long as possible. Saw the first few vids, and that was all I needed.

Heres to them finishing the game in a timely manner! Cheers!

If it runs anything like Oblivion does and other multiplaform games do on the consoles compared to a decent PC, we'll be far better off playing it on PCs, hookedu up to big screens and good sound systems.

All footage comes from 360 version, so it has very solid framerate now (plus nice AF + apparently they smooth some edges so the game is not a jaggy mess on 360). 360 version is the way to go for me (I have Core 2 Duo and GF7900). Irrational Games made amazing job with 360 version. PC version will have of course support for high resolutions and better textures, but it is a game that I would prefer to play on a console anyway (I'm a big fan of System Shock 2 by the way).

This game is oozing with quality and yet somehow not appealing to me at all. I hope it sells a lot though.

Primary SKU is 360.

Supposedly they have good PC devs too though...

That's the key though! Damn I want a newer GPU (I have a 7800somethingorother).

BTW, this isn't meant to be a sly PC v Console thing.

Wowee Zowee! The EGM article made me even more excited (and the gametrailers as well). I want to play this game soooo badly that I will either pony up 300usd for a 360 or build NOW!!.

People,
With all of the great games we will get from next month to end of year, I have a feeling that this will be game of the year. It is ab so lute ly f'in amazing
