When we previewed Bioshock, even we had to grumpily admit it played well on 360. Now Xbox owners can try it themselves. The rest of us will have to setlle with the new trailer.

(ad infinitum)

Will this make Joe turn 360? find out next time, on bit-tech.net!`

BioSniper · 13th Aug 2007, 11:02

lol Doug. Just so long as he doesn't turn to the dark side and buy a PS3 when we are all saved

I'm still downloading the demo at the moment via XBL, shame that everyone and his dog are downloading it as it's been going an hour or so and I've just about done 30%. I've got it on pre-order mind you, can't wait

Same, I pre-ordered the one with the big daddy figurine. Collectors Edition I think, there's too many available!

Hmm, at the moment I'm on the fence with platforms. I've tried both and of the two, the 360 version may have just had an edge in cinematic moments etc. Then again, at home i'd have to fight for control of the big TV. But my home PC won't run the game without some serious pimping....

TOO MANY CHOICES, JOE OVERLOAD!!

What was up with my post? I thought it was appropriate

All it said was a PC demo was on the way.

Aankhen · 13th Aug 2007, 11:52

Uh, wha, 1.35 GB isn't massive?

I guess I'm just an old fogey.

LeMaltor · 13th Aug 2007, 12:10

I have staff status and I can't see any deleted posts here...?

Vash-HT · 13th Aug 2007, 13:27

Ah if only my 360 hadn't gone and killed itself last wednesday I could have played the demo. Luckily my PC beats the recommended settings, but it still would've been nice to try it out.

DXR_13KE · 13th Aug 2007, 13:55

interesting preview.....

Hmm, I saw the trailer on comedy central at 10 'o clock.

Pretty sweet.

sam.g.taylor · 13th Aug 2007, 15:51

I love that Bobby Darin song!

I really like how the good game advertisers are using good music in their commercials (a la Gears of War).

I only wish I had a 360...

wafflesomd · 13th Aug 2007, 16:44

Sweet, so I got this thing called a pc.

Looks like no-one noticed though, so that's good.

Demo is pretty damn awesome

Love the art deco, 19whatevers (20s/30s?) style and the atmosphere is pretty damn moody.

Possible spoilers ahead.

When I was making my way down to the underwater city in the capsule thingy I was thinking it wasn't going to be too bad and it looked all nice and happy, maybe the **** hits the fan a bit later ala Doom 3, but no, as soon as the capsule docks, I get a nasty surprise.
