    Bioshock looks pretty good, I really dig the art design of Rapture and thier water graphics/physics stuff. I can't wait to see how it plays. I hope that they aren't revealing a whole lot of stuff beforehand, because if they are, this game is going to have like 4 different enemy types which really doesn't do it for me.

    That said, Bioshock's very near the top of reasons why I want a new rig.

    <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" /> SWEET. I had been broiling some underwater game ideas in my head, and this game looks like it might actually be the game I was hoping to make! I hope so.

    I am thrilled that the gameplay is similar to the trailer!! I just absolutely hate it when a game is nothing like a trailer. This is just awesome. Thanks for those you-tube links sub-zero, now I have an idea of the gameplay.

    I can't imagine what possesed you to stick that in this thread instead of a PM...

    I'm worried that BioShock is going to be too scary for me or something. I really don't handle scary games very well, and if you can't go 10 minutes without a wall-crawling crazy lady with knives for hands springing from the shadows screaming as she attempts to burrow a hole into your face, well, I dunno how much fun it would be for me. I'm just too much of a wimp to take that.

    I managed to play through ravenholm in HL2 in numerous five-minute segments. However, my heart still races and my gut churns every time a ghost comes after me in pacman. Normal pacman.

    I'm the opposite. System Shock 2 didn't scare me, FEAR was just a joke, DOOM 3 was boring and Silent Hill 2 only just made me feel a little uneasy.

    I seem to be invincible to scary video games. Its very upsetting <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    Well, eediot, you mention Ravenholm, but that wasn't scary for me at all. DooM3 is basically unplayable as far as I'm concerned, but HL2 didn't freak me out at all.

    i'm at a level where, if i play through Doom 3 FAST, like run and gun style, it won't scare me so much because ish is constantly popping out everywhere and you get kind of numbed out to it.

    FEAR, however, i had to split into separate sessions. the combat was what kept me hooked to the game, and the scare tactics they employed constantly forced me away from it. like turning around to climb down a ladder and seeing ZOMBIE FEET AT EYE LEVEL? ridiculous. i stuck to multiplayer for about a week after that part.

    HL2 is just about perfect. makes me nervous but doesn't make me want to kill myself to stop the voices. Ep1 was great in that respect... the pitch black scene? very well done.

    I honestly think for as much as FEAR was supposed to be the scary one, Monolith really nailed it with Condemned instead. Oh, and you get to bash hobos.

    They've definitely nailed the world in Bioshock, now I'm eager to see what all's living inside <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Go out and buy Theif: Deadly Shadows. Play through until you get to The Cradle.

    Its a level that takes place in the Shalebridge Cradel, a building that has served as both an orphanage and an insane asylum throughout its existance.

    Bioshock really grabbed my interest on the very first day. It looks like this game has it all: original enemies, interesting storyline, great graphics, amazing mapping and unique gameplay.

    I must admit that my expectations for this game have gone through the roof.

    QFT - although the gameplay isn't all that unique if it's been found in the System Shock series <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    To be honest I was first skeptical that the setting was to be in this pseudo 1940's-1950's since I'm really not a fan of this time period at all, but the sheer coolness of this game has turned me around <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I suppose if you find the characters from He-man scary I suppose Doom 3 might be construed as frightening. I do wish I had the Mac-hall image that sums up Doom 3 very nicely, with the zombies popping up out of every random corner just 5 feet before picking up a weapon/ammunition. That this poor tactic to be scary failed the first time wasn't really a problem, that is was the entire gimmick for how ID tried to make the game scary the whole way ended up being a big detriment to the game.

    You are aware that Bioshock is, in every sense of the word, System Shock 3? Although Irrational (who are making this game and did in fact make System Shock 2) do not have the ability to make a genuine sequel to SS2, Bioshock is arguably the next best thing and probably even for the best in many respects.

    They can't rip off what are ultimately their own ideas <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Well, yeah that's sort of what I meant. And it's more of a spiritual successor than a sequel, although to be honest I'd like to see a System Shock 3 with Shodan again.

    Can't make up my mind about the videos... On the one hand it seems rather slow hinting to boring gameplay. On the other hand there IS a lot to do, but then again on a <!--coloro:#444444--><span style="color:#444444"><!--/coloro-->*someone lend me a hand here*<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> third hand those things "to do" seem kind of a gimmick...

    I have no idea as to how this game will be once release o.o"

    I do like the idea of not being all uber and powerfull, you're just a guy trying to survive... I hope this doesn't stop troughout the game with new and better weapons. Like doom3 for example, where once you get the shotty it's all over...

    I think it would be a better idea to compare the game to System Shock 2 instead of DooM3. I mean, it's the spiritual successor to one of them, and completely different than another.

    Nice trailer. It's neat that the scene with the lighthouse is apparently rendered in real time. Looking very nice.
