This proofes it,

DX10 was introduced FAR to early, and i really feel sorry for all the guys riped off for buying dx10 cards almost 1 year ago and still no benefit from it....

ShiftyLookingCow6844d ago (Edited 6844d ago )

yep DX10 is not bad(check Crysis, there is noticable difference between last year and this year, later being only on DX9) but nobody is using it or using it badly.
I am going to sell my card on ebay, hopefully some su(ker buys it for 450 bucks. When Crysis is released, nvidia's G92 will also be released and it is rumored to run 3 times faster than current 8800GTX

@sushifx, agreed

Ghoul6844d ago

@ billy

thats what i meant the whole 8800 series is obsolete crysis is the first to even use dx10 and isnt even out yet.

By the time crysis is available there are new cards wich will offer the needed power to run cryiss in dx10 mode.

Rageanitus6844d ago

With an opteron dual core 165, and 2 gb's ddr ram. Will this be sufficient.

I still have not seen real ppl comment on the pc version. All I see are reviews from gamesites. I just dont trust review sites anymore concerning about fps games. Especially when the games like Perfect Dark, and Halo got such high ratings.

IMO they were not aaa material.

Si-Pie6844d ago

Well I have the 360 version as my pc is way too old to run this game. However it is a fantastic game and like the article described it as its a FPS meets a RPG kind of game. If you have ever played system shock 1 or 2 and liked them games then you will love this. Its all on your personal taste really but if your still not sure then maybe you should try and get hold of the demo and try it out but I love it.

ShiftyLookingCow6844d ago (Edited 6844d ago )

from playing the demo, I think that should easily do good at a resolution like 1280x720 or 1280x1024 with max settings and possibly better. Anyways go ahead try the demo, it should give you a good idea of how it will run on your computer

IMO Bioshock is truly AAA, dont play it on easy, its too easy

ShiftyLookingCow6844d ago

forcing the demo to run on DX9 also enables me to force AA on Vista(it looks a lot better with AA even on high resolutions) but damn it also introduces tons of bugs in the game

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.

Furesis290d 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-inferno290d 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.

ActualWhiteMan290d ago

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

Rebel_Scum290d ago

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

Michiel1989290d ago

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

-Foxtrot290d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77290d 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_Bomb290d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya290d ago (Edited 290d 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-PANGPANG290d 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.

anast660d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai663d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken661d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop663d 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_drake663d 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

TheNamelessOne663d 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.

badkolo662d ago

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

Knightofelemia663d ago (Edited 663d ago )

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