Bioshock

[Daz]

This game impresses and terrifies me in equal measure. From what I've see, it should be this generations Resident Evil, and if you can spare 7 minutes have a look at this:

Some really clever things in there.

It's all gonna come down to plot now. From the looks of it, if the story is engaging, they're onto a real winner.

Didn't watch the entire clip, but what I did see looked pretty impressive. I love the electric hands ;D

Yep - saw the video footage awhile back and have to agree. Awsome display of Physics and AI. August release but I bet it'll slip to new year.

My only worry, and this won't apply to you, is that it becomes yet another bad portal from the 360 because personally I see this as a benchmark for PC gaming. If this (and Crysis) don't live up to expectations on the PC, then I can't see myself sticking with the technology.

Think there's a thread somewhere that either Leo or Davey posted a video for bioshock, looks quite good :) Some nice touches in there.

Dear me that looks good. From what I saw, he had electric hands, fire hands, and also telekinesis. I loved the bit where he was using that telekinesis to catch bombs that were thrown at him and then throwing them back.

I just hope the story is impressive as the graphics, because it could be the next killer app for the 360, alongside GoW.

ehhm ;)

:p

It'll only be a killer app for the PC if you've got the hardware to get the most out of it I reckon :p

Was about to preorder this for the 360 but I'm torn - game.co.uk do the Collector's Edition with soundtrack CD, making of DVD and 'Big Daddy' figurine for £50, but play.com do the standard edition with free Bioshock faceplate for £40. Decisions...

[Haly]

Figurine :D
I'd probably forget to listen to the soundtrack or making of but the figurine would be cool :D

[Belmit]

Well that's the quickest I've ever bowed to peer pressure. Ordered!

[Davey_Pitch]

Ooh that faceplate is nice. I'd love to pre-order this but I reckon the only way I can afford it is by trading some old GC stuff in and a few 360 games. Looks bloody good though :)

Was in HMV the other day and saw this for pre-order. I thought about it for the PC but it's due out whilst I'm away, so I'll just wait until I get back. I'm hoping it's going to be the game to show off all this expensive hardware I've put together.

Having said that, Lost Planet looks pretty good - looking forward to playing it properly soon (just installed it and messed about a bit yesterday).

I have power :cool: :D

This is what will finally get me to buy and xbox. As much as I love gamining I just can't afford to keep upgrading my PC all the time. For this I think realistically it would be time for a whole new system. New PC or 360, I think the 360 will win.

[Garp]

I pre-ordered this about a month ago :) Looking forward to it!

[leowyatt]

I think the 360 will win.

woooo \o/ excellent news Muban ;)

Same thought process as me when I first got the 360. With dual-platform games becoming seemingly more prevalent for PC and 360 you'll be saving a bundle. Bioshock and GTA IV will probably require serious PC upgrades, maybe even twice when you consider the release date for the latter. Plus Halo 3 is only on the 360 and that'll almost certainly be a must-buy game for the year!

[Zirax]

Been interested in this for a while now. I think my aging pc could cope with a fresh install of xp, maybe. Its no surprise that these games are due at the same time as a refresh from Nvidia is coming out.

Not sure what res/quality my x1900xtx will run it at. I can see it struggling running native on my 24" dell :(
