this video isn't so weird... it's the 15 minute introduction video in ign.com by the maker that's creepy...

Damn. that looks pretty dope

 

This game is from the creators of System Shock 2 on the PC, one of the scariest games ever. I'm highly anticipating this game and it won best of E3 awards earlier this year from many publications.

 

BIOSHOCK!!!




Taken from IGN's 360 board:

Did anyone see that thread about BioShock in the 360 lobby? Here's what it said:

Some reviews so far:

OXM UK - 10
PC Gamer UK - 9.5
Xbox World - 9.4
Alternative Press - 10
Game Informer - 10 (rumor)


"A Perfect Score: That's what BioShock deserves as it is one of the most original, haunting and memorable shooters to come along since Half Life."
-AP


"This is the really bewildering thing about it: it succeeds so stunningly on three different fronts. Not esoteric ones, either, these are the big challenges developers have been struggling to master for decades: narrative, emergence, a sense of place. If another game did just one of these as well as BioShock, it would immediately qualify as a classic. When a game comes along that does all three, we can only be baffled and thankful.

I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five."
-PCG UK


"BioShock is a novel compressed into a first-person shooter. It manages to be both a tricky, exciting action game, a fascinating creation of an enclosed world and a deep enquiry about what it means to be human - a trick most action movies and books fail to achieve. It also plays with you at every stage, confounding your expectations and your control over events repeatedly, from your control over your weapons, Plasmids, plot, self...

And this is where we have to stop ourselves - we don't want to spoilt it. What we can tell you is you'll be playing this game for months to come, exchanging story elements to build up the bigger picture, and arguing about what it all means. Come, join the argument, play the impossible game."
-OXM UK

It just keeps getting better and better everyday.

hmmmmmmmmmm

 

^ I'm telling you Sly. This game is going to keep us busy till Halo 3 comes out next month. If FPS isn't your cup of tea for now, get Blue Dragon. That's coming out the end of this month as well. The thing is, you rarely come across a game that's getting 9 - 10 rating all across the board. The last time I saw it, it was Halo.

 

wow that trailer is crazy!!!

 

I saw the trailer the other day. Buy it at Gamestop KThx.

 

looks great, i've been following this for a bit.

 

Get the Limited Edition if you can. For $10 more, You get bunch of bonus DVDs + a Big Daddy figurine:

There is no way I am spending money on this to play it 1 month.. When Halo3 comes out, it will not leave my cd rom drive for at least 6 months

 

tsk tsk tsk...You're missing out. As big of a Halo fan as I am, there are so many good games coming out this year it isn't even funny. Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, BioShock, Blue Dragon, Assassin's Creed.....etc etc...

 

I've also been following this for a bit. I am so excited. If it better than half life 2, then just wow....

 

Does BioShock support XBox Live?

 

I'm sure it will have live support....probably some form of deathmatch multiplayer. I just hope the story isn't too creepy

 

Bioshock is going to be pretty awesome. I think I'm waiting to get it on my PC though. I have to have SOME reason to own one. :-) hah.

 

I haven't bought any games for my 360 in a while, but this AND Halo 3 within a month of each other?? ...

I'm going to have to be careful that I don't turn into

 

Great episode...

lol @ the carpal tunnel wrist support, didn't notice that before

 

LOL that wrist support MAKES his character lol

 

Whoah....

Gotta get that game!

 

The demo was added to the marketplace today, and downloading quite slowly for me.

 

yeah gonna have to do this overnight. dont want to wait for it

 

Oh man this game looks plain sick, in every sense of the word. I'm snaggin' this!

 

I'm playing the demo. Wow I thought this game was gonna be overhyped and not too good. But damn the demo is scary and fun. Awesome game.

 

was anyone else sorta taken off guard when the beginning cut scene ended...and then it just sorta kept going....until you realized...oh shit, im actually playing now?

this is so well done....I thought the whole genetic power thing was gonna be lame, but they somehow just made it really cool.

 

It is quite the looker, I think a major part of it is it's art style though. It just seems so thoroughly thought out.

 

I'm telling you man. This game is going to some serious 0wnage before Halo 3 comes out

 

apparently the beginning of the game is different from the beginning of the demo

 

bioshock FTW! holy shit, played the demo before.
this game is fuckin sick

 

The setting / story seems great. Although the graphics and game play don't impress me to much, they are still solid.

I would give it a 8.5/10.

 

Looks like you might be able to get it now at Toys R Us.

http://news.filefront.com/is-bioshoc...res-right-now/

 

Yeah seems they set em out early. Bout to pick a copy up in a few days.

 

anyone get it early. my friend went looking around all over here, couldnt find anything

 

I'm so excited!














Wait...this is for the 360...?!?? DAMMIT!

 

is anyone getting this for the PC? I'd honestly perfer it for the PC because I think the mouse/keyboard is much easier to use and more accurate than the controller. The only thing is that I don't think my 2 year old PC could handle it at a level that I would be okay with. It handled half life 2, but that is an older game.

this why PC gaming is so fucking hard to deal with.....every time you want to play a new game you realize that you need a new computer

 

9.7/10 from IGN

 

Game of the year?

http://www.metacritic.com/games/plat...ox360/bioshock

 

Well, this is a game that would traditionally only go to the pc, but i'm glad that it is also comming to the 360, I really wan't to wait for some new affordable dx10 cards to come out before I spend more money on my pc.

I just wish Microsoft let developers do what the ps3 guys can do, which is mouse and keyboard action.

 

I'd say so:
