Wow, just finished the demo to this game on the 360 (PC demo comes out tomorrow) and I've gotta say...that it was awesome.

Very reminiscent of the first Doom in the way that it made me feel. Lots of good times will be had on Tuesday when this game finally makes its debut

BioShock

ZOMG!!!!!11!! BIOSHOX!!!

I am so looking forward to picking this up next Friday. PC Gamer UK gave it 95%, and called it "Sublime...the best game since Half Life 2".

Pre load BioShock via Steam | News | Custom PC

Some of you might be interested in the art/concept book. It's really interesting, and free too:

That stinks Wafflesomd. You'll eventually get the money, and I hope it's worth it . From all the reviews and the demo I've played, it sure looks like it'll be worth it

Damn. Looks like I'm missing out on this for the time being. Internets too slow to download the demo and when the game gets here it's likely going to be $120.

I got an unencrypted demo running until I got to a certain point and it crashed

BUT

I'm pleased at what Epic's done to optimize the U3 engine... and how the Bioshock team has used it. I've got

A64 3800+
1 gb RAM
2x 7600GT

and was running at 1280x800 with everything but Force Global Lighting and Dx10 effects on. Looks GREAT. At the very start I had a hard time telling when the opening cinematic ended and when I started playing. I'm waiting for the real demo hoping it works out a little better since the 5 minute taste I got of this game really looks great.

I've heard that the game features the same sh*tty control bugs as Deus Ex 2 did on PC, those of you playing the full version on PC, you agree? If so I ain't touching this thing with a 60ft pole. I HATE developers who port instead of doing their f***ing job. :furious3:

I don't know about control specifically, though they wouldn't let me bind anything to 'R' until I dove into some .ini files, but the game has pee-lenty of bugs. It's really kind of a letdown and most of irrational is vacationing right now so I don't think the storm is calming down.

However, it's not a lazy port. They changed a lot of very small things and they had two dev teams working in parallel for 360 and PC. it's had the crap optimized out of it and runs surprisingly well for how it looks, it just has a lot of bugs

I've encountered 1 bug.

It didn't matter. I kept on playing.
