The PC demo will be available this week according to official sources and as early as tomorrow.

For all of you that don't know about it, its first person survival horror. Single player only http://www.2kgames.com/bioshock/enter.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
POPKA 0 Posted August 16, 2007 this has had some pretty brilliant reviews. I'll have to take a look (96% by PCZone) who have become increasingly anal recently I've noticed so it must have some worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.murphy man 0 Posted August 16, 2007 If its any thing like system shock 2 was im going to buy it as soon as i get the cash! Although i will be sure to try the demo first, these last few years have been a disapointment for me gaming wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with Half Life and OFP, but you think Q4 and Prey had a storyline? More like FragOline than anything else..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4 IN 1 0 Posted August 17, 2007 the setting looks good (strangly it reminds me about fallout instead of "20000 Leagues Under the Sea", SG:A or titles using 50s~70s theme, hummmm), but you know, the story itself seems quite DOOM like, someone messup something, and release all kinds of shit from god-knows-where and our hero comes to save the day, aint that bad as long as we are not in far future but still, OH DEAR..........

madrussian 347 Posted August 17, 2007 Maybe I am dreaming this up, but I thought I saw it would only be available through Windows Live. They'll be hard pressed to get fifty bucks a year from me to download demos, something we've been doing since the dawn of the PC for free. Please someone tell me I am on crack. Because I really want to play this demo, the game does sound mighty cool. Indeed I shutter to envision the day where we need a crack to play a demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lamont 0 Posted August 17, 2007 What on earth are you talking about? The game will be available for PC and X-box everywhere on the 21st, including STEAM. You can pre load off steam the whole game and play when it gets unlocked. The demo is not out, it will be out tomorrow maybe and duh its free. What you see on steam is the whole game, which you can preload. Are you new to steam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted August 17, 2007 I went to its site and saw these small gameplay movies where you see the weapons being used... one word... weird . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted August 17, 2007 I loved SS and SS2, so I'll definitely be grabbing Bioshock. In fact, I put my name down for the Collector's Edition about 2 months back. The old SS titles are hard to beat for sheer spookiness... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berghoff 11 Posted August 17, 2007 Demo won't be available today. Just a few more days o_o .. Quote[/b] ]I went to its site and saw these small gameplay movies where you see the weapons being used... one word... weird . Well the game setting is in the 50-60's and is nice change from usual weapons.. actually whole game is different from other games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted August 17, 2007 The gfx look absolutely great and from reading a preview about the game I am absolutely interested. However, my biggest concern is that the game will be over to soon, like it has been with all programs of that kind lately. To name a few: Prey, F.E.A.R... This is the biggest letdown for me. Why create a fantastic surrounding if you only move around for 8 hours before you complete the game ? Anyway, maybe his one will be an exception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeez, i guess you never read about this game and just decided to post a random comment. Bug infested, nope. And this is a very original game with good storyline. I haven't seen a bad review yet for this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow 6 Posted August 20, 2007 I've tried both the 360 and PC demo. They're identical in content. The PC-version has better (more?) AntiAliasing and better lightning or textures in some areas. I never knew what Bioshock was all about and I've never played System Shock before (people say its the spiritual successor). To be honest, I think Deus Ex was alot better. Bioshock is a run'n'gun action game with strange weapons in an even stranger world.

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted August 21, 2007 Quote[/b] ]To be honest, I think Deus Ex was alot better. Well, you're entitled to your own opinion, mate. I've played all of the variants of both SS and Deus Ex, and I think the SS series was better overall (although I loved all the little details in Deus Ex, of course). Just my opinion, naturally. It's just a pity that SS and SS2 were made earlier than Deus Ex and Invisible War - makes comparisons hard when you compare - graphics especially. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lamont 0 Posted August 21, 2007 I was surprised it worked so well on my system. Pretty good game, I might get it. The beginning was really good. The effects, the sounds, the crash, everything. The weapons have iron sight, the effects are pretty well done too. The story is probably good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.murphy man 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Im loving the demo so far, great weapons and control scheme. The story and setting is pretty good also. It always runs pretty well on my system but it does get a bit choppy whens theres lots of action going on. So far im pretty impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
