Good news! I saw this in the pc forum. Unlike a lot of games that are made for consoles and are dumbed down and left that way for the PC version giving it had controls and a chucky interface bioshock is fixing the pc version is properly!

"There are very substantial gameplay differences between the two versions. Look, our heritage is PC. We've taken the differences between the two platforms very seriously. We look at history, we look at other PC/console games like Deus Ex 2. We realized that you need to treat them differently. Not only in terms of the balance, but also in the interface. We have a very different interface for the PC version of Bioshock, using much more drag and drop functionality. In terms of the gameplay, we've rebalanced all of the enemies to make the PC version harder. We've taken Softlock out of the PC version. You need this "locking on" with a console, because it's so much harder to aim at something with a game pad, but you don't need it on a PC. But of course, the Xbox 360 version still is the lead version of Bioshock."

So while the 360 version is the main version they are going to put in the time to make the pc version more suiting to the pc and to pc gamers! New interface, harder, no auto aim.  Lets hope this catches on. :)

Yeah thank god... Oblivion's awful console style interface messed up the PC version a lot. Good thing to see they aren't totally dumbing the game down for consoles. Even though they say 360 is lead platform it's obviously going to be best on PC in every way....

I remember getting in an argument with someone who was trying to explain to me how Oblivion was NOT a casual game. :roll:

 

Try Morrowind or Daggerfall and then explain to me how Oblivion is not a casual game. :lol:

Oh no they didn't!

This is probably the best news one can hear about a game such as Bioshock.

No. Casual RPG players, more along the lines of Fable.
