They need to mix Condemned with Bioshock.

bioshock is nothing like UT.

 

if anything, it shares a lot more in common with other FPS/RPG hybrids like dues ex, system shock, and STALKER.

As in the same old twitch circle strafing gameplay. Condemned and The Darkness play quite differently, and actually give you a creepy atmosphere. This just looks like junk.

Plays like UT?

I'm quite sure you either watched an entirely wrong clip or you have no idea about either of those games. Bioshock (despite being somewhat of an FPS) looks and will most obviously play entirely different from UT.

Have you ever played System Shock (2)? That should give you more of an idea what the game will play like.

And no, those other two games don't blow it away. Bioshock looks very impressive on many levels. I'll most likely buy it for my PC.

What game are you talking about? Because it certainly isn't Bioshock.

Spiritual sequel to system shock, made by mostly the same developers. That's where the hype is coming from.

Blashphemous talk against UT? Arcade super speed does not make it "old" its very refined.

I really hate the way guns look and fire in Bioshock.

They look all awkward and stiff.

Umm, no it's not :|

BioShock is an FPS RPG, it's not a run and gun, twitch-based shooter. You'll have to think how to take out the enemy. The game uses a modified Unreal Engine 3, and the atmosphere is both amazing and creepy. In fact, it's gonna be more creepier than condemned.

 It's just you, Condmened was purely melee and very little gun action, Bioshock is different. Besides who dares to judge a game before it is completed.

Correct me if I'm wrong (because I haven't played Condemned), but I don't think Condemned: Criminal Origins had little girls who stuck needles into people and drank what came out.

Darkness looks really repetitive (how many hearts does a creature need to eat) and Condemned isn't as imaginative as Bioshock.

LOL no. Condemned was kinda creepy though, but yeah, Bioshock will be more disturbing.

the reason why biosshock is hyped is because it's like system shock 3 man, and system shock 2 is one of the all time great first person shooters just behind the likes of half life and deus ex.

 

Oh yeah, the kids of this generation won't have played system shock 2, you're missing out on a lot you know, go play it, it's cool :P

Stop riding the System Shock phallus and think for yourself. Bioshock sounds great in concept and art designbut the execution sucks. Nothing looks creepy if it has horrible graphics and animations. The character models looks like something John Carmack would approve in Quake 4, except with crappy looking clothes.

No contest, I'm sorry. Watch the videos.

Maybe the graphics aren't great, but that "Bioshock plays like Unreal Tournament" comment of yours is what set me off. Bioshock and UT are two totally different styles of FPS. One focuses on single-player and character skill development(as well as a creepy atmosphere), while the latter is all about multi-player mindless fragging(not that that's a bad thing). If you want graphics, go view some Crysis trailers.

Bioshock is a unique game. It is going to look unique too. That is another great thing that separates it from the other bland stuff that tries to be something else instead of trying to be its own unique game.
