Bioshock

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

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

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

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...

Figurine

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

Belmit · 04-08-2007, 22:09

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