[Multiplatform] Bioshock. Available on Wii 12/5/2010

Bioshock is almost upon us. 8/21/2007 (360,PC), only three months away.

Quote:

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, while wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors, mutated little girls scavenge the dead, and genetically modified citizens ambush you at every turn. Players must ultimately make meaningful choices and mature decisions, culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?

www.2kgames.com/bioshock/ Pretty sick flash website (even though computer takes a shit with flash) with some pretty eerie music to back it up, but that is to be expected considering it is by the developers who created the System Shock series.

http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/home.html This is the real website though.

Bioshock is in fact the spiritual successor of System Shock, hence the word shock.

Quote:

A first person shooter that lets you do things never before possible in the genre: turn everything into a weapon, biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques in an incredible and unique underwater city.

If that isn't enough, the weapon and environmental usage seems very intriguing:

Quote:

BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies. Here’s just a few things you can do a foe:

• Catch his Grenades in Mid Air and Toss Them Back at Him
• Freeze Him Solid and Shatter Him with Smack of your Wrench
• Lead him and his comrades to water and Zap them all with 1000 Volts
• Burn Him Up With Home-Made Molotov Cocktails
• Booby Trap Healing Machines and Watch Them Blow up IN his Face
• Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard
• Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities
• Turn his own Security System Against Him
• Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him
• Torment Him with Plagues of Insects
• Take Research Photos of Him to Learn his Weaknesses
• Send Him Flying into the Ceiling to Knock him Senseless

I loved System Shock and Deus Ex so this will likely be quite sweet. I like shooters where the story does not take a backseat along with RPG elements, of upgrading and dialogue. Looking forward to it. Oh and check out the trailer and water effects too. Sick sick sick.


Discuss this inevitable ownage here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well you can say whatever you want. It was still created by the developers of the System Shock series. Ken Levine and Specter didn't code the whole game and create it. Games generally are a group effort, where in the end everything fits cohesively.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

New action video out. Quite promising. Just give me some rpg interaction here and there and I will be happy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hell, do people even realize likely one of the greatest games ever is coming out in a month. Not one post in two months.

Oh yeah and it was awarded Game of the Show by Gamespy and like everyone else. Of course.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah OXM UK gave it 10/10 (SCANS are at gametrailers forums somewhere)and PC GAMER 95% so far. Rumors are that Game Informer also gave it a 10.

And Elixir right analog problems on 360? Yeah fucking right. The xbox controllers were practically made for such games. Frankly, I will take a controller over keyboard nowadays. But thats just me.

Oh and whatever this is. http://gamers-creed.com/?p=217

I was speaking idiomatically.

No one cares since the game is out in six days. Anyone on this site should know that it's a must buy without a demo.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I figure I would just post all the reviews so far and any links to them for the undecided =)

4 MORE DAYS WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FELIPE NO

I wish I had a godly PC to run it, but I don't want to spend that much money when I can play it on my 360 where it is also guaranteed to have a smooth framerate and amazing graphics regardless.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well obviously, thats guaranteed. I hear its equal and/or better to Gears of War/Oblivion too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Uh I finished that a while ago.

Review List updated.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also the game is out already on Steam I hear.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What are the major reviews? besides Gamespot. Just curious. Maybe you go by some site I don't know of?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Anyone who complains its too easy, should switch to a different weapon. Game is all about changing it up and having fun with the variety of ways of killing enemies. And megalith, I know what you mean, I am doing that on first play through, but not with wrench, but I telekinesis everything. And I mean small holes in wall, celings you cannot reach, behind stairs, etc. Also melt everything you can with ice. The developers put so many little secrets in.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can already respawn at the chambers and do suicide runs with no drawbacks. This game is not a challenge.

Uh no, but why wouldnt you if one is complaining about being able to take out a guy with shock and wrench. Its common sense, thought you read into that. Guess not.

Anyways I dont know how Hard is, but there is a download content for a reason. They could easily add a Extreme/Very Hard/Insane/Legendary mode.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Dude I probably logged close to 15-20 and I was at the end of fort frolic. Until I ran into a THe CURTAIN glitch and now i have to start over a couple levels back.

Yes, why wouldnt you admire every detail, when they deserve observing. I go around trying to find every item imaginable.

I might not in the levels I have to replay over again though =(

FELIPE NO
