From now on, i will not watch any more Bioshock videos. I want to play a game and be suprised in the near future.

Anybody have a current release date on this game? Last I heard it was the end of Jnne, which is now fast approaching. But unless they go gold in a week or two, that isn't going to happen. WHich isn't a big deal; I'm just curious.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Luckily, per the development team's mission statement for BioShock, you'll be encouraged to tackle those encounters in any number of ways. We got to see an Irrational team member play through a later sequence in the game from an area called Port Neptune three separate times, taking a different tack on each run.

...

BioShock will offer you a degree of moral choice too. As it turns out, those little sisters are still real little girls deep down. If you do manage to bring down a big daddy, which is no mean feat, we can assure you that you'll have it in your power to restore the little sister to the innocent little girl she used to be, allowing her to run off into the bowels of Rapture and find a safe hiding place. Of course, you could also be a big jerk and just kill her, allowing you to harvest all that delicious Adam for yourself. But Levine assured us that taking the moral high road on this particular issue will have story- and gameplay-relevant consequences for you later on in the game.

That is exactly what we've been led to believe, so it's good to have it independently confirmed. :ermm:

Like most of the game's secrets, Levine and company aren't talking about those consequences. There were a great many things that actually had us scratching our heads during our brief demo. How did Ryan discover Adam? And where did it come from? Who is this Atlas guy? (We're pretty sure he won't turn out to be Shodan, at least.) How did he know about the plane crash, not to mention the identity of your own character? Speaking of your enigmatic avatar, why does he have what appear to be chains tattooed across his wrists, which were only briefly visible during one plasmid-consuming animation? Who's inside those big daddy diving suits, anyway?

Tune in next time: same Bat Time, same Bat Channel ..!

What's more awesome is that the developers would have been strategically hiding a lot of the plasmid upgrades available to the PC in the latter part of the game from the reviewers, so there is probably a lot of subtly different ways to crack a given area.

I'll pass. I'll continue posting infos here for the others, but I'm done with consuming media myself. Now I only need the game itself.

That's okay, I didn't read any of your links, either. :wowey:

New dev diary video. Nothing particularly new, though it is nice to see the BD completely beat the crap out of the other loser near the end of the video. They're really overplaying the BD/LS characters, though.

New video. I think this may be the first one that really showcased the gameplay's potential to me.

Too fast, too colorful, too brutish. Wouldn't it be laughable if EA, who allegedly are developing System Shock 3, could pull off a more cerebral gameplay?

 

I'll still get it though, and while it prolly won't be the hoped spirtual sussessor to Shock2 anymore, it still might be a cool FPS.

Sounds like I should be able to run it on my PC. But, I may be getting a 360 by the time this is released anyway.
