Morgoth Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 Crazy weapon design is something I missed in many FPS. The usual pistol-shotgun-M16-grenade launcher configuration just got boring. I'm happy that Bioshock is going to be more creative in that way.... Rain makes everything better.

metadigital Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 It's etymology is that the word started with the iPod revolution; it has since expanded to describe all such narrowcasts (which was the previous name for them, though this didn't require a separate item of hardware: one just listened on the PC).

Pidesco Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 It's an mp3 file, so not a lot. You can hear Levine talking about gameplay, though. Also, he talks about game marketing and designing in general. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

Morgoth Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Very interesting interview. Am just wondering why that guy can come up with so bold concepts and gets support from the publisher, while something like Van Buren or Jefferson got raped and destroyed.... Rain makes everything better.

CrimsonAngel Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Or a Gypsy Curse. Now i truly belive Bioshock will be a great game but it will have ONE MAJOR THING AGAINST IT. No Shodan. I miss Shodan. Any way i Like the Style of the Game. The Art Deco style, The underwater setting and lighting is a great atmosphere maker.
Tale Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 My sole concern is that it is being developed with the console as the primary consideration. The footage I've seen from the game shows a HUD that clearly corresponds with the XBox controller. Now, whether this will be bad for the PC version or not is unseen, but I feel the need to be wary. Hopefully the PC version will be fully realized for the PC's abilities (including the full keyboard) and not merely a port of the 360 version. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
metadigital Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 As you say, it's far too early to tell. A console's controller is not a bad thing, in and of itself; it's only if the developers haven't done any bespoke PC development that the game will suffer.

Noceur Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Can I play as a female in Bioshock? I don't play games that don't give me the option of playing as a female because I find it insulting on a personal level to be forced to put myself in the role of a man. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well thanks a lot for that one!

This time it's a Ken Levine interview and supposedly, it's about an hour long. Fear the lisp! Oh, there's a picture. Levine's eyes are closer together than I would have imagined, I'll still give it a listen though. Thanks! Jeez, these interviewers give some wooden greetings.
