Cheers for the heads up!

I won't need any persuasion to buy the game, but playing the game before hand always helps!

Is it really that amazing? There was a 3 page review of it in PC Gamer but I don't think it looked that great.

It's on xbox live, I don't think there is a PC version of the demo xD

Playing Bioshock demo now, tbh it's not very fun atm, just really weird =/
Not buying it because it's just..boring xD

Silver membership lets you download demos right?

Somewhere.. beyond the sea... somewhere we meet and behind golden sands and beaches....

Demo = Sheer amount of ownage

1000th post yay

And I don't care if you say ''OMG U CNT LEF!111 U GAI ADDICT''

I'm tired of leaving places because of other people, PM me for why the hell I'm sticking to this very section.

Yes.

I don't like it. I gave up playing it cause it was boring. For some reason there were robots and stuff and you had to avoid. It was fine up until that bit, I won't be buying this.

13-08-2007, 08:00 PM
ill download it then :)

Azul

I wouldn't be that easily swayed, the demo isnt even from the actual game.

Fez
13-08-2007, 08:07 PM
Azul's kinda right, I think this was a Pre-Alpha Demo of the first level, they just had to adapt it to the new firmware in less than 3 months

Neil

So it's less of a preview of the game and more of a debug room released to the public?

Still downloading this lol

Almost finished though!

Call it what you wan't. But I don't judge a game on a demo.

You need 50 MSAdam to download it mate.... thats why I got all my friends called 'Adam' to come around to next doors house (which has live...the lucky twits)

My dads at home so i cant download the demo.
Are the man who keeps talking to you and the dude who gets slaughtered at the start by a splicer, normal people like you? Meaning the are surviors in rapture.

There are 3 splicer types and splicers used to be the citizens, Atlas's, Teneborum's and Ryan's

Ryan's and Atlas's won't try to kill you but Tenerborum's (most popularist) will try.

Hey,

Well there are a few words to describe that demo. Here they are :
Eerie, Short, Graphical and Cool!

It looks like it will be a good game but the demo didnt make me want to buy it because its just too short!

They didn't do too much temptation I think. But I'll still buy it, hell even if it's a bad game the Special Edition is still awesome

Damn that was one sweet demo. I thought the whole search the dead was a good thing to add , smoking cigs and eating candy was also a very good idea!
I wanted to jump down onto the little sister :[

That was an amazing Demo, I can't wait for the game.

I would kill to play as a big daddy as a side mission or w/e.
When you were going down the lift did anyone see the big daddy drilling something in the big tunnel things?

ANDD When the plane crashed through the glass , the water effects on that were amazing!

I also loved it when you went into that bit where the alarm goes off and walk under the water stream and your screen goes wobbly. lol

mangle
15-08-2007, 11:14 AM
Yeah , they hired a whole team JUST to work on water which is why its so impressive.
Like at the start when you emerge from the plane wreck the fire on oil on water is amazing

I know the graphics are wonderful, I couldn't believe what I was reading on the Xbox forums when they knocking the graphics.

PSHT!
They're some of the best graphics i have seen in a long time , the splicers are freaky though :[
I've played the demo three times and every time i've been attacked by different amount of splicers. Hacking turrets and bots is the best fun though! I had like 6 splicers attacking me and i had 4 bots just blowing them apart!

Azul
15-08-2007, 07:30 PM
I really couldn't get to grips with the hacking, I kept over riding the damn thing.

Being able to search bodies, smoking and eating candy is all because it's an RPG based game, like System Shock and System Shock 2

I wanna know what the two endings are , are they based on whether you take mercy on the little sisters?
I've decided the ones that shout "Kill him Mr Bubbles kill him!!" are going to get it!
And the ones that run off scared i'll save :]

Yea I'm sure when you either save or kill all of the Little Sisters you get a different ending, there is an achievement for saving all and one for killing all so I would assume that's it

I was just looking at xbox.com, part of America already have Bioshock because some Toys R Us stores messed up and released the game, people have already completed it, but now it's back in the stock room waiting xD

Azul

Wow, some people have already completed it? Damn, i'm really going to saviour this game and ease through it, I know I won't want the experience to end!

Yeah apprently the demo is meant to take you 45 minutes.
Can do it in half of that!! To be honest , im going to be taking on big daddys all the time and experimenting with plasmids!
