BioShock requirements

[Joe Kremlin]

I'd rather get this for PC, but now I'll probably have to get it for 360 since my PC won't cut it. I expected that, but still...

And if it's 8GB, does that mean it'll be two discs for xbox?

Nah, it'll probably be a dual-layered DVD.

Message to Fallout 3 perhaps?

that is freaking awesome

is that Levine sending a message to Pete Hines & Toddler ? :p

there are plenty of winks in the Rapture design to show the Bioshock crew are Fallout fans. maybe this is a warning, albeit in jest.


Edit: looks like the source is PC Gamer and not 2k/irrational, so nm.

PS: keep us informed on how to win that thing! i'm sure there are PC Gamer readers on this forum

 

[Tannhauser]

Actually, it looks like the source is CVG.

Developers will treat gamers like shit as long as gamers behave like game-addicted junkies that don't have a willpower to engage into economic warfare with their oppressors.

Sorrow, why won't you shut up when you don't have anything constructive to say? You posted your point. Fine. Don't repeat it five times afterwards insulting the developers. That's pure asinine behaviour.

Who gives a fuck about internet connection? (EDIT: well, yes, I know that some people do but still... internet connection compared to this...)Thats the pain:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor
System RAM: 2GB
Video card: DX9: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better). DX10: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better

Message to Fallout 3 perhaps?

If I had any doubt about buying BioShock before (which I didn't), I assure you, that picture just convinced me to buy it.

 

[RhymeBomb]

It makes me happy to know they're not skimping out on the graphics.

I need some good games to test my somewhat high-end computer. I've just been playing the Fallout games and WoW...

Reason to buy this game:

1. Spiritual successor of System Shock

2. Underwater theme.

3. Art deco style

4. Proof that a sequel is better done in the hand of original developer (hint: a game with the letter "F" and number "3" )

5. You can kill children (or in this case, a 'child-look' character)

I'm not surprise with the recommended System Requirements after watching the trailer. Price of PC hardware is really low this day (will rise again between Sept-Dec. Usual stuff anyway), this game is a good reason to upgrade/buy a new PC
I don't mind the internet registration provided it doesn't require me to login everytime I want to play the game. That's the reason why I sold my copy of Half-life 2

Not that I especially want to kill children, but it does show Beth up for being pussies. Why don't they just admit that this is not in the game because they're trying to appeal to every age group to increase sales.

Continuously? Steam always shuts down for me after loading a game.

Odd, it does not do that for me.

psh I pwn those system requirements... Now, how do I pay off my debit...

 

[Stag]

w00t, DX10 is going to be fab-U-lous. What's the release date?

 

[Joe Kremlin]

I like Steam. It makes updating a whole lot easier and you can play any of your games on any computer. And there is a way to start HL2 without logging into Steam I think.

 

[Lexx]

I wanted to buy this game, but then I read...

Important Note: Game requires Internet connection for activation.

...in german: Uncool/ absolut nicht feist. x_X

And the best thing: I don't have Windows XP. :>

 

[Stag]

Also, I like the internet validation dealy if it lets me play CD/DVD copy games without the disc in. Does it?

 

[Lexx]

But thats my problem: On my good pc in my second dwelling (where I live from monday to friday), I don't have a internet connection. :> So.. I could never activate the game without a "no internet"-crack or such a thing.

 

[Stag]

They'll likely have some sort of phone in thing, though it will also be difficult.

 

[Lexx]

Nah, don't want to pay for this phone-things.

6. it has numerous winks to Fallout (Toilet boy, movie screen, etc)

 

[Sorrow]

Frankly, there's no valid reason why games bought in stores should be validated by internet.
