Someone has the magazine. heres what it says.

 

BioShock

- Core gameplay centered on player choice and customization

- Game takes place in the early 60s

- Dev's main goal is total immersion in the story

- you wake up in the ocean surrounded by debris and your first goal is survival

- something about creatures in the ocean discovered by scientists

- "We're creating a world for to be in. What you do is up to you, and you have to live with your choices."

- One of your skills is agility and it makes you run faster

- most upgrades will affect weapons

- you can create weapons and items

- you can hack stuff by being an engineer

- A walkthrough is useless - you take the game where you want it to go (Sounds really open ended)

- BioShock holds many mysteries

- Xbox 360 and PC - O N L Y

Wow.. that little quote of hype sounds like the type of sandbox I would enjoy playing in. Like a Gothic in the sixties! Go Hippie-Gothic!

60s? WTF?

 

I thought it's gonna take place in the 21th century, where you explore an abandoned Nazi lab.....

60s... That's so old school. Probably Minute Man and Kate Archer will assist you in creating a bubble gum-thrower that let the enemies explode their heads a'la Mars Attacks. (w00t)

Hey, doesn't sound so bad, after all... :wacko:

It sounds like pure bliss!! (w00t)

There are some games that have actually lived up to the hype.. Granted, few and far between.

 

 

I can't think of one. Most games that go down as "great" are either low-hyped or not hyped at all.

 

KOTOR1 for one lived up to the hype.. And lived up to it very well.

 

So did the original Baldur's Gate.

 

I wouldn't be *too* surpised if Bioshock actually turns out to be a really good game.

Bioshock sounds *extremely* interesting except for the whole 60's theme thing. I dunno.Maybe it is just me but I would think the early 22nd century would make for a more interesting setting --if nothing more than just for the more interesting (and some would say "visionary" o:) ) technology.

Which can very well mean "You can go left or right, and use a standard or silenced pistol". While I think Bioshock sounds terrific and will very likely be a good game, these feature lists stand somewhere between juvenile ("This is what I want my game to have!") and standard marketing hype ("let's make some vague statements and use trendy catchwords so they'll be sucked right in").

 

It's kinda like those Amazon products list, where features can go from "For PC" to "Many dungeons".

The early 60's? That's like Beach Boys and stuff. Why not the late 60's with hippies, druggies and Woodstock?

 

It sounds interesting none of the less though.

Brian Wilson is a genius.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mad genius.

 

 

 

Not an evil genius, though.

Bioshock will be good, but i am still looking forward to a new Freedom Force game.

I'd rather see them using their time to make a better franchise instead..

 

I really like FF games. Lots of playable heroes, some deep npc personalities, nice stories and El Diablo. :lol:
