MarketTantrik Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 BIOSHOCK Developers:Irrational Publishers:Microsoft / Take 2 Interactive Genre:FPS Players:1 Platform(s): Xbox360, PC Release Date: U.S. - August 21, 2007, E.U. - August 24, 2007 Official Website : http://www.2kgames.com/bioshock/enter.html The game is based in an underwater city called Rapture and takes place during the 1960's. The city looks breathtaking when it is first shown, with its high rise 'Art Deco' architecture right on the sea bed, surrounded by water, almost a modern Atlantis. It was created by a group of people who wanted to get away from the surface world, which at the time Rapture was founded, was just recovering from the effects of World War 2. By creating their own city, free from government regulations and religion, they would be able to conduct wild and crazy experiments which perhaps some people might see as a waste of time or unethical. This is the reason the city is full of intelligent people such as scientists and engineers When a scientist discovers an almost magical material which can enhance the human body and repair or modify existing cells. The substance was called 'Adam' and throughout the game the player and the citizens of Rapture, Adam is key to survival. The material has brought Rapture down after it caused a civil war and the people were greedy so there is a grave shortage, in fact the slug which Adam was originally extracted from has been extinct, so there is a very interesting and surprising way to gather it. Characters called 'Little Sisters' or nicknamed 'Gatherers' are genetically modified children who will retrieve Adam from dead bodies and somehow recycle it in their bodies so it can be used again. From the Official Website BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets you do things never before possible in the genre: turn everything into a weapon, biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques in an incredible and unique underwater city. You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way. BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies. Here’s just a few things you can do a foe: Catch his Grenades in Mid Air and Toss Them Back at Him Freeze Him Solid and Shatter Him with Smack of your Wrench Lead him and his comrades to water and Zap them all with 1000 Volts Burn Him Up With Home-Made Molotov Cocktails Booby Trap Healing Machines and Watch Them Blow up IN his Face Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities Turn his own Security System Against Him Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him Torment Him with Plagues of Insects Take Research Photos of Him to Learn his Weaknesses Send Him Flying into the Ceiling to Knock him Senseless No encounter ever plays out the same way twice. No two gamers will ever play BioShock the same way. SCREENSHOTS: The character will have access to genetic modifications called through a gene bank.

MarketTantrik Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 The Ecology of Bioshock Via Xbox360fanboy : http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/08/09/vi...gy-of-bioshock/ BioShock is, without a doubt, one of the most highly anticipated Xbox 360 games this year. If, by chance, you've been wondering what all the fuss is about, you should probably check out this video. Of course, genuine BioSchock fans will find plenty to love in the video, too. Posted by GameTrailers, the video features the folks at Irrational Games discussing the ecology of Rapture, the underwater world of BioSchock. Put simply, it is this world that makes BioShock so intriguing. The world really is alive. The characters within it will go about their own business whether or not the player decides to interfere (of course, some of the characters' "business" is to attack the player). Honestly, this is the kind of thing we should be seeing in the current generation of gaming: worlds with real, believable characters capable of pulling gamers into another reality. Everything leads us to think that BioShock will do just that. [gt]23297[/gt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizoidFreud Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 'BioShock' Demo Up On Xbox Live! :O With very little of the weekend left, a demo for BioShock has hit Xbox Live! Get downloading! You have precious, little time before the week begins! If you can... the Live servers are being hammered and downloads are incredibly slow. The demo weighs in at 1.35 GB and the game will be released on August 21st for the Xbox 360 and PC. Go! Go! Go! Update: We've played it and we want more! We cannot wait for the full release because this demo is just amazing. It's short, but it gives you enough of a taste to make you want more. The enemies are fast, furious, and there are a lot of them gunning for you. You will get to use 3 different weapons and 2 plasmids in the demo, which mostly sets up the atmosphere of the game and introduces you to the underwater city of Rapture. If the game is as good as the demo, this will be a strong contender for game of the year, but right now it is certainly demo of the year. If you don't have a 360, go find someone who does and play this now. This isn't about console wars and flaming people who own PS3's... this is about playing a really good game. http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/6784..._Xbox_Live.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Downloaded th demo this morning and playing it right now. The graphics in the opening sequence has to be seen to be believed. Dont want to give too much away, but you have to see the "mix of elements" part to believe it. (you'll know what I mean when you see the opening sequence.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
