BioShock Demo: First Impressions

The Bioshock demo starts off with a slick, yet simple opening cinematic - pretty much a first person view of you looking at the back of some one's chair. You pull out your wallet, you glance at the photo of your own family waiting for you down at terra firma. Everything is cosy and peaceful on the passenger plane you're on, then a curve ball, your airplane crashes into the see and...

It exactly what we saw in the video trailer, I can't wait to play the game.

kring6856d ago

The demo was good, after the demo ends/you quite it has a video of some of the gameplay... looks interesting for a FPS. personally I've become blah on the FPS... they are all too similar in design and content.. GoW was at least something new as far as view and control system while blowing you away with pure next gen graphics.

the graphics here were ok, but not UT3 engine next gen, textures fell below expections and engine capability

tmatte6856d ago

I actually thought the graphics were ahead of GoW, not to mention Bioshock is something very different.

marionz6856d ago

kring get some fcuking glasses! and a personality! reading your lame post was almost painfull

bioshock has graphics that make gears look like poo, and you actually have freedom to roam around the environments unlike gears, the textures are stunning and the water is amazeing!
gears was my fave game untill now
this game is an instant classic!

Jdash246856d ago

the game looks really good, but even after playing the demo im not getting it, im just not a fan of horror games, which is exactly why i passed on F.E.A.R. when it came out, and those constant plasma injections were kind of annoying in those life threatening situations

nobizlikesnowbiz6856d ago (Edited 6856d ago )

Bioshock is getting the attention it deserves.

Yay

And there was much rejoicing. Yay

Yay

<EDIT> @ Marceles. Bubble up.

Marceles6856d ago (Edited 6856d ago )

Yay. Actually I think it deserves even more attention. I'm sure most people who have played and at least seen the demo footage know it's above expectation. I didn't think 2K Games could top the good presentation of The Darkness, but Bioshock blew it out of the water. Seriously...you have to play it in order to fully understand how awesome the game is. It makes you really feel like you're trying to survive in Rapture. In other horror FPS games like Doom 3, it's scary, but you have all of these guns to use at your disposal and you still feel like you've seen a game like it before. On Bioshock, I was tiptoeing through the whole thing and watching my back like I was really trying to survive. The lights flickering on and off, the slightly happy 60s music playing in the background with all of these strange characters interacting and trying to kill you...the game is just insane. You'll come in to the game with slightly high expectations from hearing about the reviews from other people but still not believing it, and then you play it and bam, AAA title

edit: thx man, from a born again xbox gamer

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis292d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno292d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan292d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum292d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989292d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot292d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77292d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb292d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya292d ago (Edited 292d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG292d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast662d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai665d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken663d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop665d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake665d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne665d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo664d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia665d ago (Edited 665d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
