Mother Chuffing Bioshock.

[WhatsHisFace]

Okay somebody had to get the Game of 2007 in here, so it might as well be me, the connoisseur of the genre.

Bioshock is an FPS/Action/RPG/Adventure game with a rare emergent-gameplay experience from the minds behind System Shock 2. The game takes place in an art-deco, decayed underwater metropolitan utopia. A spiritual successor to System Shock, Bioshock has a unique AI system where enemies won't always attack you and situations will never be the same twice.

Basically, it's everything you've ever wanted.

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah, this game will ****ing rock. I can't believe this, Mass Effect, and likely either KotORIII or Jade Empire 2 will be launching all in the same year. That's more quality RPGs than the xbox got in it's entire lifetime.

[WhatsHisFace]

Don't forget Too Human and possibly Blue Dragon launching that year also. Though I look forward to Lost Odyssey more than any other Mistwalker game.

[Manny Calavera]

Fallout 3, Project New Jersey, and Project Grey Company might also make 2007 as well. Though I consider Too Human more of a Ninja Gaiden/God of War type game with RPG elements than a full on RPG.

[WhatsHisFace]

Project New Jersey? Tell me about this!

[Manny Calavera]

Obsidian Entertainment's new RPG, it's a new IP, so it's not KotOR III or Neverwinter Nights III. Supposed to see some sort of announcement at X06 going by their forums. That's pretty much all that's known, besides that the team doing it is largely composed of the ex-troika guys that Obsidian and Bioware picked up, so it'll probably be real time and probably be ****ing awesome.

[WhatsHisFace]

Obsidian is a bunch of vets from all over the place, and I think Kotor 2 was their first game together?

Well anyways, Troika made great games. Well, they were great games despite flaws that for some reason had no effect on how awesome the games were. They're one of the few developers who can get away with that.

Hopefully they've assimilated a bit and that Project New Jersey will see a silky-smooth development.

[Manny Calavera]

KotOR II was their first game as Obsidian, but most of them had worked together before. Bioware, Obsidian, and Troika all traded employees back and forth from when they knew each other at Black Isle or when they were working for one of the three, and when Troika went under, pretty much all of them went to one of the two. The team doing Project New Jersey can claim stuff like KotOR II, the Fallout series, and Vampire Bloodlines, a classic series and two 9/10 or better games despite being rushed and in the case of Vampire Bloodlines being built and released entirely on a beta version of Source. New Jersey will rock.

[WhatsHisFace]

Speaking of Fallout, Fallout 3 is going to be my next Deus Ex.

Well, along with Bioshock.

[Manny Calavera]

You should have played Vampire Bloodlines, it was exactly like Deus Ex, it even had "Dead Ex", an homage quest that was also the best 30 minutes you'd ever have played in your gaming life time :(


But yeah, Bioshock is going to rock faces. Just looking at the screens and who's behind this game I can already tell that this game will ooze atmosphere and cool locales.

[WhatsHisFace]

I did play Bloodlines. It was okay, but felt too TimeSplitters-y. I did play Dead Ex, which was a very scary mission, but the game just... I don't know. It didn't seem to have the coherence of the Deus Ex games.

I mean, it was good, but that underlying flaw left it not good enough to be considered a top-tier RPG, in my opinion.

[Manny Calavera]

How on earth did you find Timesplitters in bloodlines? :confused:

[WhatsHisFace]

The art style primarily, but there was the same "hollow" feeling about it. Maybe because in both games character footsteps don't make noise.

Plus, Vampires just aren't cool unless you're a goth kid. :(

[Manny Calavera]

Those vampires were ****ing cool, and I'm no goth. You just played one of the more "jack of all trades" clans and so got a boring character. You should have been a Tremere, they get awesome blood magic and make people vomit blood or explode and shower everyone with boiling blood and bone chunks, or a Malkavian just to see their "insanity" dialogue options. I really wish Activision would do a quickie 360 port :(

[WhatsHisFace]

It's pretty obvious that the Vanbread were the obvious way to go, as they're the only characters in the game who aren't common street trash and sexually promiscuous scum.

[Manny Calavera]

Ventrue. Vanbread? :(

[WhatsHisFace]

It's a bread made of vans. :(

[Manny Calavera]

http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1457/1148302007.jpg

Man I can't wait for this.

[WhatsHisFace]

All the more elaborate weapons in the game are made out of esoteric household materials combined for weaponised means, so that's going to make for some VERY interesting concepts.

[Manny Calavera]

Plus there's the fact that it's like System Shock, only with a cooler setting, better graphics, and probably better, more refined gameplay, making it one of the best games this gen.

[WhatsHisFace]

Plus the entire ethical/human conservation subthemes that are going to either disturb you or really make you value what you have during gameplay, and we're guaranteed an absolutely classic experience.

[Manny Calavera]

Xbox360 really has too many good RPGs coming :(

[Manny Calavera]

Zenien posted a thread about this being ps3 bound, even though it'll be the same situation as splinter cell last gen, with the versions being so wildly different in quality that they may as well be xbox exclusive anyways.

[WhatsHisFace]

Too Human, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Fable 2 (Molyneux has spoken of his new, organized way of developing games which doesn't include the awkward satellite studios or strange times where the game will have only a few people working on it, as well as the benefits of being owned by Microsoft... long story short, Fable 2 is going to be much, much better, Molyneux said the first things they are implementing into this game are the things that DIDN'T make it into Fable 1, so kudos for that), Jade Empire 2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Fallout 3, Lord of the Rings: TES clone, Cry On, Enchanted Arms, Two Worlds, Kingdom Under Fire (it's an RPG this time!), Project New Jersey, Dungeon Explorer (made by Hudson)... oh man. Best console ever.

[WhatsHisFace]

Zenien posted a thread about this being ps3 bound, even though it'll be the same situation as splinter cell last gen, with the versions being so wildly different in quality that they may as well be xbox exclusive anyways.
That was neither confirmed nor rumored. Zenien's makign up stuff again. :(

[Manny Calavera]

I don't know man, she has scans :(

[WhatsHisFace]

I don't know man, she has scans :(
Let me guess, EGM?

[Manny Calavera]

Official Playstation Magazine, same thing.

[WhatsHisFace]

I'm looking now. No other website or news source (even the unreliable ones) have anything on this.

[Horrorfan]

I loved this when you guys were all ignoring it before E3. Glad to see you have all come round.

[WhatsHisFace]

No publisher quotes, no developer quotes, not even recycled quotes. I really don't think this is official.

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah, me neither. And no one was "ignoring" it before, we're just taking the opportunity to show off as many awesome games as we can in light of the ps3's massive lack of things that don't suck horribly.

[Horrorfan]

Nonetheless, its good to see people FINALLY giving it its due.

[WhatsHisFace]

Yeah, me neither.
It's like when they "confirmed" that Jade Empire 2 was a PS3 exclusive. Do you remember that? :D That magazine is retarded. :rolleyes:

[Manny Calavera]

Bwahahahaha, Microsoft Game Studios published the last one and it made money, so I mean, they're pretty much a sure thing to publish this one as well, so yeah, won't happen :o

[블라스]

Those pictures look so pretty I can't understand them.

[Manny Calavera]

Did you ever play a System Shock game Gamera?

[Manny Calavera]

http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1457/1147402331.jpg

It's hard to explain how awesome this game will be. 10/10 :up:

[블라스]

Did you ever play a System Shock game Gamera?

No :(

[Manny Calavera]

Well this (http://shodanbabble.ytmnd.com/) was the villian. This was also the greatest villian, ever, in one of the greatest games, ever. Bioshock is the spiritual successor, only better in many key ways. So yes, this game will cum in the face of other, lesser games.

[블라스]

I heard it's similar (in essence?) to Deus Ex.
That's enough for me, really.

[Manny Calavera]

System Shock was, yes. This may be as well. It will certainly share the quality of being ****ing awesome.

[블라스]

Good enough!

[Manny Calavera]

Buy this and Viva Pinata and Too Human and Mass Effect and anything else I tell you to and you'll be my favorite person ever!

[Addendum]

A definite must have. I've been looking forward to this game since I first heard about it last year when I finally got around to playing System Shock 1 and 2.

Hell, I'll buy this game (along with Alan Wake, Alone in the Dark, Too Human), even before I get my 360.

[WhatsHisFace]

This game is so awesome.

[블라스]

After reading the vague storyline and the features, it occured to me that this might be one of the best games ever created.



* Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.

* Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.

* Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.

* Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.

* Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.

* Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture…or save them?



After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. BioShock forces you to question the lengths to which you will go and how much of your humanity you will sacrifice...to save your own life.

[Fenrir]

After reading the vague storyline and the features, it occured to me that this might be one of the best games ever created.

Spore has already taken that title.

But yeah, this game looks goddamn amazing. :up:

[THE LIZARD#1]

Best game ever, I can't wait to get it for the PS3,*Flame Shield on!* Anyways I think this game looks sweet, however so many people are saying it will scare the s h i t out of you, I think this game won't. F.E.A.R. and the Suffering are the only games that do that to me.

[블라스]

This game should be enjoyed by everyone, I hope it comes to Ps3 as well.

[WhatsHisFace]

So it can be terribly ported?

[블라스]

I dunno? :confused:

But it's going to kick more ass than an actual kick in the ass by Bruce Lee.

[WhatsHisFace]

I really wonder who would handle the port. Irrational will be on to bigger and better things once they're done developing these two versions side by side and maybe the PS3 version will be given to like... Digital Extremes or something? :confused: :(

[블라스]

I dunno, I was just trying to be nice, and I do hope Ps3 fans get a version...but let's talk about the 360 version.

Retro-technology stuff FASCINATES me, this is going to be amazing, and it'll have more replay value than a girl with big breasts :up:

[WhatsHisFace]

Like mutant beyond-breasts breasts on those hideous japanese girls? :eek: :D

[블라스]

Even more replay than that! :mad:

[XwolverineX]

Mass Effect, Halo 3, MGS4, Zelda and FFXIII are all better. But yeah, looks kickass.

[블라스]

I WAS THINKING TOO OVER-THE-TOP, AS WELL.

I like how Gears of Wars animated blood splats look like thick blobs. But this is too... odd.

I wouldn't say it's a campy effect, but it definitely clashes with the realism of this game.

BEST. BLOOD. EVER.

[WhatsHisFace]

Maybe it will change. It all depends on what the playtesters think. I'm trying to imagine Deus Ex with gushing blood, but I kind of can't...

That may just have to do with the horrible graphics though. :D

[BanjoKazooie]

I wish Junction Point would just update Deus Ex :(


Anyways, I think the blood looks fine. Stuff like that needs to be seen in motion to be judged properly.

[블라스]

I am so excited about this game.

[WhatsHisFace]

Your av makes me believe it even more. :D

[BanjoKazooie]

Which is a good thing, since this is the type of game Jesus would want you to play.

[WhatsHisFace]

Anyone who isn't looking forward to this game isn't a good person.

[BanjoKazooie]

You people let Looking Glass Studios die, you'd better not do the same here, buy the damn game :mad:

[WhatsHisFace]

They're the kind of people who like things other people like, because they're too stupid to form opinions of their own, so they need to adopt the opinions of others so they can feel safe.

That's why you'll never see them successfully defend their thoughts with anything more than "An opinion can't be wrong", even though one definitely can.

[Addendum]

I'm buying a copy of Bioshock, even if I buy it before I get a 360.

And as for Looking Glass Studios, I never heard of the System Shock games until AFTER I started playing Deus Ex.

And I'm still trying to get a damned copy of Thief and Thief 2.

[WhatsHisFace]

The valuable part of Looking Glass was just Ion Storm with less money and more talent, but they also made Flight Sims, which weren't that good but had a LOT of fans.

[BanjoKazooie]

Looking Glass had Ultima, Thief, and System Shock. And they employed Warren Spector before he made Deus Ex. That portfolio murders most developers, and yet they went out of business, and another Madden is being released this year. What the **** is wrong with this business? I can't think of a single entertainment industry that is this ****ed up, I really can't. Gamers are a bunch of uncultured, tasteless slobs :dry:

[WhatsHisFace]

Did they have Ultima? Maybe they started it but Ultima eventually went to Origin, which EA closed down for being too good. :(

[BanjoKazooie]

Well, they did two Ultima games, I don't know if they owned the IP or not.

[WhatsHisFace]

EA owned the IP. I think Richard Garriot left Looking Glass but began making Ultima again under the Origin title.

Now Garriot is making crap. :(

Same with American Magee. :(

[Addendum]

I support no video game company. I just play games that interest me.

As much as I like Rockstar for the Grand Theft Auto series and Red Dead Revolver, I don't see a need to play the other Rockstar games that don't interest me.

That was the one annoying thing about my roommate from college: He could never admit the fact that some of Square's games weren't that great, although they made some greats like Xenogears, Chrono Cross and FF6. If something came out with the Square logo, BAM! He'd get it.

This game is one of my top three most wanted titles. More than Halo 3, more than Gears of War....it looks fantastic. It looks to be one of the most original and innovative FPS not just of this gen, but ever.

[블라스]

Once again, we agree :up:

[Horrorfan]

From all the stuff I've read about it, the amazing amount of thought and creativity poured into this makes most other games look like hollow, EA owned franchise updates.

Hurray for Take 2! They are a big publisher but know not to push art.

I cannot wait for this. Is there a release date, even a tenative one?

I would give my right nut or kidney to play this now.

[블라스]

Why aren't people talking about this game? :confused:

This game is Deus Ex. But Kevin Levine wants this game to SELL so he's calling it an FPS.

[Horrorfan]

You kinda missed the point....it's not an rpg or fps in the strictest sense. It has elements of both, but what it boils down to is what makes this game beautiful...choice.

Want to play it as a straight up fps? You can.

Want to focus more on rpg elements? You can.

Want to mix and match? You can.

and what elements will you choose to expand? which ones will y ou neglect? will you try and overpower your enemies by being super developed in one area, or a jack of all trades?

Its about choice my friend.

[WhatsHisFace]

I think this game's going to get around 8.5s from a lot of reviewers, but will be the best game in the world.

Reviewers don't seem to like the Deus Ex formula.

[Tetragrammaton]

It has enough hype behind it to get 9's.

[Extromaniac]

I have a feeling this game will be pretty kick ass. :D

The fact that it has anything to do with System Shock makes me a happy camper.

[Tetragrammaton]

It's only a spiritual successor, sadly. System Shock 3 >>>> Bioshock.

[Extromaniac]

It's only a spiritual successor, sadly. System Shock 3 >>>> Bioshock.

True, but it's the thought that counts. :(

[Tetragrammaton]

I really just wanna hear Shodan's creepy voice again :(

[WhatsHisFace]

It has enough hype behind it to get 9's.
But then every reviewer is going to say "I want to be the different one who gives it a 2" and then all the reviewers will, and it will get 2.0s, and then no one will want to buy a Wii. :whatever: :whatever: :whatever:

[Tetragrammaton]

I really hope Gamespot gives this game a good score, so I can hear the same people who have been *****ing an moaning about how much they hate GS over a ****ing 8.8 singing their praises. It's amazing how fickle people are with that sort of thing, it makes me wonder why they bother to read reviews at all since all they really want is someone to agree with them.

[블라스]

I hate Gamespot for whatever score they give to this game.
Even if it's a 10.000000000, it'll be too low.
Death to Gamespot.

[WhatsHisFace]

I actually agree with Gamespot almost always. I think they gave PDZ 0.5 too much, but in their defense, the gameplay is REALLY good.

But going back and reading their reviews months down the line, I always agree, even with ones I disagreed with initially. (SplinterCell, FSW, etc...)

[블라스]

Gamespot sucks.

[Tetragrammaton]

Same way. I don't buy/refuse to buy based solely on what Gamespot says, but I can always look back on their reviews and agree with pretty much all of them.

[블라스]

LOL!

Worst review ever.

It's actually spot on if you read the words and not just the score. And I'm the biggest Deus Ex fan on Earth. :dry:

[WhatsHisFace]

It's actually spot on if you read the words and not just the score. And I'm the biggest Deus Ex fan on Earth. :dry:
I must say, Deus Ex was a game with a lot of rough edges, which is why Gamespot marked it down quite a bit. However, Deus Ex was a game that had very lovable flaws, and I enjoyed the game not in spite of them, but because of them.

Deus Ex is probably the best game I've played, problems or not. I don't think if it was flawless it would have been any better. It was just... right.

If we talk long enough, it always comes back to Deus Ex being cool, doesn't it? :(

Oh well
A bomb's a bad choice for close-range combat...

Oh well
That's the law of nature, Deus Ex reigns supreme.

I'm going to burn like the brightest star!
You're gonna burn, alright.

Imagine if they released Deus Ex with enhanced graphics as a Live Arcade game.

[Tetragrammaton]

I'd spend a lot of time touching myself over the idea before I actually bought it.

[블라스]

Or maybe EA will buy the license and release "Deus Ex: Street Bangin' Homies!" with voice overs by Vin Diesel, Jessica Alba and Eminem :(

[Tetragrammaton]

I'd become the first anti-EA terrorist :(

[블라스]

(I hear that's in the works, actually)

[WhatsHisFace]

Yeah, I'd have to 9/11 EA for that.

[Tetragrammaton]

I would spit out classic Denton lines as I gunned them down, just for the irony of it all.

[블라스]

And they'd go "Is that from a movie or something? Maybe we can make a game about it!" and then they'd die.

[WhatsHisFace]

Wuahahaha. Gotta love the company that exploited Rare's game.

It's not completely done, but they got a download up for some things, like crates, batons, and some things I forgot. Definately can't wait until it's completed. And Bioshock is going to own... I'm getting it for PC, but if it's as good as it's supposed to be, I'll buy it for 360 as well. And as far as Fallout 3 (mentioned at the beginning of thread couple months ago), isn't it made by mostly different people? Project New Jersey sounds interesting also. Anyone knows what it's about?

How long do you think it will take for that to be done?

Fallout 3 is going to be made by Bethesda, or Elder Scrolls fame.

Project New Jersey is completely under wraps.

Project HDTP claims they'll be done by end of the year, but I'm guessing spring of 2007. They're almost done though, been working on it for a while.

And I'll probably try Fallout 3 for sure.... I loved the frist one.. still havn't played the second one (even though I do own it.. still havn't beaten the first one yet though).

Edit: Also it's rumored (or was.. not sure anymore) that EA (or whoever the hell published System Shock) are going to make a System Shock 3. I really hope they don't.

[Horrorfan]

I never got to play System Shock 2. They should bundle it with bioshhock as an extra, but for 360.

There's no point for them to. It wasn't a million seller.
