One would think that any fan of Half-Life, Deus Ex, Halo or most of BioWare's projects, would be ecstatic about BioShock. Each of these developers (Valve, Ion Storm, Bungie and Bioware) has credited the System Shock series as being the inspiration for their own visions with emphasis on the narrative within and/or the open gameplay.

Having the key people responsible for System Shock return to create the series spiritual successor, should have been calls for rejoice by millions of fans who have benefited, whether directly or indirectly, by the numerous contributions this team has made to modern videogaming over the years. They are about to do it again, cause enough for celebration.

I just can't get excited about this game :( I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi and this is just too 'out there' for me.

It does look incredible though don't get me wrong... just not the type of genre i go for... kudos for originality though. :)

Wow, amazing. This may be the new standard FPSs and RPGs are measure against. The AI and art look amazing. Just watching the gameplay is so interesting. The world does seem very alive... if not extremely creepy, deformed, and demented.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."

I would love to comment further on this as it's been through here and gone (don't look on our site if you're wanting to avoid potential spoilers) . However, I had almost zero interaction with is as it was dealt with by others.

All I can say is that everybody who played it is probably buying it. They were most impressed.

There's been so many previews of this game I'm not sure what there is that's new I could tell you. The realisation of Rapture and the story are particular highlights I'm told however One person described it as "Graphically sumptuous and thematically intriguing" and cited influences of HG Wells, Lewis Carroll, Jules Verne and Metropolis contained within.

Largely my organisation is comprised of film buffs and rather exacting ones at that. For them to praise a game for it's setting and cultural influences is quite something I think. Definitely a world away from the space marine shoots aliens idiom used in most FPS'

I think it'll be one of the more critically acclaimed games of the year.

Yeah thats understandable. Who knows, if I enjoy FF12 I may give Blue Dragon a shot. My only gripe with JRPG's is the combat system but Im willing to play the game anyway.

i too never care very much about jrpg (was always puzzled when my friends were playing FF...) but yesterday played through Eternal Sonata demo, and got sort of....hooked! had a lot of fun and it got me thinking about the game...Will try tonight Blue Dragon, maybe like it as well.

Now, bioshock. Ordered already, can't get it soon enough. Looking so damn great.
Makes you wonder why can't wesee similar open interviews, and previews of Halo 3 single player...

Because Halo is going to sell 5 million copies without doing loads of PR beforehand. Bioshock is still a mighty underdog and Irrational liekly needs a hit to be able to stay in business (from what I can tell the Freedom Force games did ok but underperformed expectations).
