Bioshock Xbox 360 demo

[DaForce]

Thru steam hey.. thats pretty damn cool. And what a bargain!!

Oh its good alright!!

If you havnt already check out the video of it at gametrailers.com

What sort of machine you running it on?

1080p too low res..haha so I assume your running it on a 30" LCD then for some 2560x1600 goodness?
I might get the PC version just to try that. But the demo does look amazing on my tv. No real noticable jaggies at all.

q6600 x2900xt 8gb ram some grado alessandro headphones

[DaForce]

Ahh nice.

Yeah im only a dual core monkey at the moment, but it is OC"ed to 3.2ghz. The 8800 however loves the overclock.. jumps up around 25% more FPS.

Im curious how bioshock will run. It looks pretty graphically intense, and given the 360 can run it smoothly you would think the PC could as well.
Mind you high end PC's found running lost planet abit of a chore so you never know.

Time will tell I guess.

[DaForce]

Such high scores.. never seen any game such high across the board... wow

[Neilg]

There are another 4 or so out since those, all of which are well above 90% - 9/10

It is pretty silly.

[DaForce]

geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzus

cant wait!!!!!

There was some twonk whinging about it on majornelsons site. You should have a look its pretty funny. Go about 3 pages back and he posts about the bioshock demo, check out the last page of comments and this guy was like the 2nd post.. dalamar evens or something.
I googled his name and seems he is just a general piss and moan kinda guy. ahhahaha

[Blitterswitch]

I just looked at the reviews on IGN and PC Gamer and my attitude about the game has just gone from apathy to a massive need to play this absolutely stunning game!

I honestly have never seen scores like this for one game. I am so excited!
The next few months are very good for the pc gamer...
Quake Wars, Bioshock, Unrela tourny 3 and Crysis. I can't wait to see how my new system copes!
Same spec as werticus virtually, q6600 @3ghz, 8gb ram, oc'ed 640mb 8800gts.

[sea2stars]

Yeah. I wish the wife listened to me to wait until the 65nm systems came out; having HDMI on a new Premium system must irk some Elite owners.

And there's a decent crop of gaming goodness for the 360 too; Bioshock, COD4, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Timeshift, Assasin's Creed, Mass Efect, Too Human. Oh.. and Halo 3 *shrug*.

[EricCamper]

Yes...this game is amazing....

[Neilg]

Just for anyone who's digging for info: do NOT look at the 360 achievements list.

For some reason, theres a major plot spoiler in there. the major plot spoiler. Some guy on another forum spotted it and a few people have seen it by accident and are pretty pissed off.
It'd be ace if nobody from here spoiled it either, ive been doing quite well so far and from everyone ive heard and every review, they say its something you need to figure out on your own.

[harperperkins]

wtf did Steam get involved with this? pretty cool, though...7gb is a LOT to DL though, but damn if it doesn't look worth it!

[Neilg]

Apparently its only 2gb, just very well compressed.

edit: Theres a couple of people on another forum I go on who got a few of the US toys r' us copies, and one has already beaten it, just copying some quotes:

"I finished it today and it's quite possibly the best game I've ever played "

"For those worried about spoilers:
Pretty much all the spoilers mentioned on sites are wrong or misinformed half-truths that are meaningless. Including the 360 achievement. Nobody has even come close to the "big" spoiler. "

"the game is frantic as hell, especially as it progresses. You really need to have a handle on your abilities and strengths and weaknesses"

[werticus]

26hrs to go to steam unlocks

thats annoying really as its only political reasons for it not being on steam the instant it goes gold :P

damn boxed copies!

[DaForce]

gah my xbox copy isnt available till the 24th!!

<edit>
Damn seems EB didnt put my pre-order down as the collectors edition... now they are all sold out of collectors editions
