The Damned Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Considering that not everyone has a 360 to play it on, the PC demo is the only thing to tide us over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Sad news... PC Demo won't be out until Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citris Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I got really excited when I read about it in GI, seeing as how System Shock and Thief are two of my favorite series. I saw the trailers for it the other day and nearly started crying in happiness. I need a 360 bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Wow I was completely blown away from the demoI've been keeping tabs on it since it first got released and I was decently impressed but never as hyped as I am now for it The graphics looked unbelievable...I thought it was cool when you where going down underwater and you see the whale in the city on a side note though did anyone else get scared from the beginning like 30 seconds? I thought the whole airplane scene graphics really where not up to par and it really only started to look good when you surfaced out of the water Because that was CG I assume? It's funny when a CG cutscene is worse than the actual ingame graphics. And how many people just sat in the water, thinking it was all a CG cutscene? It just looked so pretty, I didn't realize I could actually move until the pointer came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to know if my computer can run it smoothly, thats why I want a demo. And I want see if I will like the game. God of War got raving reviews, but I think the game is boring.

I-n-j-i-n Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I can think of a lot of highly rated game as boring to an extent. Perfect Dark was boring to me even when I knew it was designed well and its best part was the multiplayer/bots matches anyway. I know a lot of great games are well made, but they aren't my type so I don't bother critiquing a lot of them. People can argue forever which Zelda or Final Fantasy games are the best, but the ones that made the 3D leap in Ocarina of Time and FF7 are hailed because of their impact on gaming, which I agree, but not agree entirely on how fun they are at times since they all have their slow moments, especially the majority of FF games. By the way, Bioshock is getting almost too good of reviews and I hope it won't overhype it for me. Many reviews are calling it as one of the best games ever, the Gameranking average is 99 out of 100 points and some reviews are saying it's a work of art. Just gushing over a game like when Resident Evil 4 or God of War or Gears of War games were. And to a lesser extent, Shadow of the Colossus.

JoeFu Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 BLASPHEMER! I'm sorry, but playing minigames to kill each bad guy got kinda repetitive. It was really fun the first level, but I just thought it got way too boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkPoinko Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm super-stoked for Bioshock too, especially after the slick website 2K put up for the game. I'm really in love with the decaying art-deco flavor they gave this game and it looks tres-snazzy to boot. I'll probably end up going to GameStop and try to get the limited edition set this weekend. That way I already have the game when I get a 360... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsx100 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'll be first to come out and say I'm very picky about my games, so whether they are good, great, superb, or decent doesn't really matter unless the game interests me. As of right know, Bioshock doesn't interest me at all. However, seeing as it is getting great reviews, I am going try out the PC demo as soon as its avialable. Maybe I might and up seeing something I like in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwalker Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 This game is going to be so good. I was playing the Xbox 360 demo last night, and I got to a part where it actually really freaked me out. So much so, I turned off the system, and started surfing the web for pictures of kittens to qualm the nerves. The environment is just that good.

The Damned Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Uh oh... The PC version is out on the same day as Metroid Prime 3. This could be either really expensive, or really "I can't make up my mind". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattycat900 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I thought metroid prime 3 comes out a week later than bioshock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Oops, you're right. August 21st for Bioshock, August 27th for Metroid. I misread the 7 as a 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 The real issue is going to be when the PC demo comes out the same day as Super Metroid goes up on VC. Where will my bandwidth and time go? Aaaagh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 So I got to watch my friend play the demo on his 360. It looks very pretty, but just watching someone else play... it didn't seem that exciting. I'm going to assume that playing it is, however. One thing I do find a little on the "meh" side, is that they use the old story-pushing method of having someone talk to you over a radio. I know it's 1960 and all, but come on. That's the same thing that has been used in FPSs for the last ten years. I thought this games was supposed to be the biggest thing since the genre was created. I'm going to have to try the demo out a few times before I put down cash for this. Take no offense, fans of the game. I'm just sick and tired of being interested in a new game and then getting burned by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very pretty, but just watching someone else play... it didn't seem that exciting. I'm going to assume that playing it is, however. It wasn't about 100% adrenaline rush, but the entire feeling of it. The dark twinge of the storyline and the atmosphere. I think that is the most exciting part about the whole demo. Really, there was only one big battle in the whole demo. One thing I do find a little on the "meh" side, is that they use the old story-pushing method of having someone talk to you over a radio. I know it's 1960 and all, but come on. That's the same thing that has been used in FPSs for the last ten years. I thought this games was supposed to be the biggest thing since the genre was created. I'd rather listen to the radio than read text ala Metroid Prime games or Doom 3 with the PDAs. The radio feature are a staple because it works. Also, the radio works in the timeperiod the game aims for, which is the mid 60's in a civilization that uses 40's technology. I really see no other viable alternative for it. I mean there was even a few cutscenes and movies and an in-game cutscene. They pulled out all the stops for the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inimitable Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I work at a Hollywood Video and a few days ago we got a big box of Bioshock for the 360. But we can't rent games pre-street like we can movies. Oh, I hate that box so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyosuki Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 You know I hadn't really given it much of a thought, FPS's tend to not catch my attention. But I have to admit this one's got a pretty facinating story and premise to it. The atmosphere from what I can see in the demo is undeniably creepy, but not in a typical Doom style "monsters take over the place" way. Its a very distinct kind of creepy, almost a sophisticated kind since the story is almost a social statement in a way. The Art-deco design style and 1960's flaire is also a big part of it. You can definitely see the dystopian social commentary story influences in this that the team's boasted inspiration from. Nothing can get that certain kind of facinating creepiness across like retro-steam punk and mid 20th century stylings in the little things like even the cartoons that explain the Plasmids. Reminds me of the distnct kind of creepiness the cartoons seen in the Fallout games brought. "out of the public eye" stories that take place in the 60's seem to generally be pretty cool so far. (Like MGS3.) I bet though after this game there's going to be a huge trend in using this time period and art-deco design style in games.
