Most hermits will not play Bioshock

[QUOTE="Meu2k7"][QUOTE="brainiac24"]

[QUOTE="BigDizz"]I dont think many will admit to playing it because their standards are much higher on FPSs since they claim theirs are far superior, and Biosock is a port if you ask mebrainiac24

By all means, I will be getting this on either PC or 360. Probably on PC, although I will miss out on achievements... (CURSE YOU MICROSOFT AND YOUR GIMMICKY YET ADDICTIVE IDEA!)

Bioshock PC is under LIVE isnt it?

Don't think so, at least I haven't seen it on "Games for Windows".

It is a "games for windows" game.

[QUOTE="brainiac24"]Guess what.... I don't need to worry. I know how it feels though, because i just gave away my old computer... the one I'm using now is new.deathtrap90

2.4 Ghz though ? i buily my computer maybe over 4-5 years ago and thats what i have. I think Crysis needs 2.6 minimum =/

Uh dont go by GHz. Most Core 2 Duos are less then 2.6 GHz and are much more powerful then any P4 up to 3.8 GHz.

Actually, the specs you provided from the link are the recommended specs. That will probably run the game from mid-high to highest settings. I meet those requirements easily. -_-Vandalvideo

Judging by this requirments, Gears of War should be roughley the same. Possible meaning there wont be any *non capcom* 360 Ports that will be a seriously heavy on the requirments :D

I think he was reffering to a P4...

obviously...there isnt a game out their which a core 2 duo can not run well.

Mycomp meats those requirements, except for the graphics card. Still I'll probably end up buying it for the 360 for the achievements.TyrantDragon55

your willing to pay $10 extra for achievements?

I would have to upgrade my video card to play it on my PC. I'm going to do that eventually but I don't have the money right now and don't feel like waiting to play Bioshock. And yes achievements are nice.

Hopefully that's the Vista requirement because I'm running on 512 MB of RAM.

thats true...

-actually the new patch improves performence a huge amount....I never lag now with my c2d 2.4.....unless it goes into those really massive battles....but those are very rare.

if they're hermits, chances are they're going to have a rig that can run it. :|

stop trying to say that multiplats are exclusive just because of some fantasy statistic you made up.

I know but I've already been outside to get an XFXGeForce 7600 GS with 512 MB of memory yesterday (I wish I could get a PCI-e card but that'd require me to spend money on an entirely new computer) and a new power supply today for a total of $200. I don't feel like spending even more right now. Not even a dime.

Ah well, I'm not exactly the most patient person in the world nor am I the richest (bad combination). Technology-wise, I'm living before the stone ages.

I still need to know if 1 GB is the Vista requirement or not though.

The game better be optimized for the PC or it's going into the dumpster.

Developer said both versions will look identical.

I doubt that seeing as how the PC version is DX10....

Marka1700

No :|

Bioshock is going to run in Dx10, which is leaps ahead of the 360 version.

Nice to know that you know more than the developers.

No :|

Strange thing is hermits clam that PC gaming is cheap compare to console gaming some how, and you don't have to update your system every year.

Yet look at these hermits posted above...

All their system are so up to date and can run Bioshok at highest setings...

I just got a new PC earlier this year Core 2 D E6300, I Gb Ram, 7600GT...I don't think my PC can run Bioshok as well as my 360 can....

Eh i can run it one MAX easily. I have 2Gb of XMS2 RAM, 7900GT KO OCed, a crappy Pentium 4 OCed to 3.6Ghz, My mobo already has a decent sound card built in. This is my crappy rig to. New Rig - 8800GTX/1Gb HD2900XT, Q6600, and a P35 mobo. You lemmings just are rediculous. The rig i have now i could buy for about $400-$500 now. Those are not steep requirements at all. Ignorance is bliss.

they said it themselves....the PC version is DX10 based.....

and even if it wasnt....PC hardware is just stronger in general....thats why we play games at native 1080p...with 16xAA and you dont....

Then ask yourself, whats the point in Dx10 if it wont be better hmmm?

and until the guy who said it in the first place posts a link, he Phails.

Killfox

Exactly; an E6300, 2GB RAM, and a 8800GTS is barely above $500 - that could probably run Bioshock just as well as the 360 version.

That would slaughter it.

Because they don't have a PC that meets the Recommended System Requirements, and who wants to play games like this at the minimum?, no one I hope. Can you run Bioshock?

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo processor

System RAM - 2GB

Video card - DX9 - Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better) / DX10 - NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better

Sound Card - Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Optimized for use with Creative Labs EAX ADVANCED HD 4.0 or EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 compatible sound cards)

http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/802/802466p1.html

This is where 360 wins every time, I don't care if PC gets games like Gears of war or Bioshock, because most hermits don't have a rig that can run it, all that leaves is 360 FTW. So next time people say games like Gears of war and Bioshock are not exclusive to 360, you can laugh at them as most people will not be playing them on their out dated PC's so they may as well be 360 exclusives.

01SniperWolf

Minimum System Requirements:

CPU - Pentium 4 2.4GHz Single Core processor

System RAM - 1GB

Video Card - Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550).

Sound Card - 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card

Hard disc space - 8GB free space

If you don't have that, you're not a hermit. Most of us will be playing Bioshock for its gameplay. Most of us will also be playing it at higher settings than the 360 version. Even the recommended settings aren't that high.

PC version > 360 version. Get over it.

that PC would run the game well above the 360.....

Meh. They don't seem that demanding. Once I upgrade my processor, I should be fine playing at 1280x1024.

This is seriously off-topic, but we need a Hellgate: London Hype thread .... damn its coming along good.

I'll be playing both maxxed out. 7900GT's are like $150 nowadays anyways.....

Not all console fanboys will be able to even play Bioshock , considering there are only 11.5 million 360 owners, out of the 150 million that owned consoles last gen. Have fun playing bioshock on your 360, GC, or PS2! Oh wait, that's right, you can't!!!! Most 360 users won't be able to play Bioshock at max settings either, considering only 10% have HDTV's........

I dont think many will admit to playing it because their standards are much higher on FPSs since they claim theirs are far superior, and Biosock is a port if you ask meBigDizz

Bioshock is a port? No, they are even making a different interface for the PC version, so it doesn't get consolized. Not to mention System Shock 2 is it's spiritual successor, which was a PC exclusive and is considered to be one of the greatest games of all time.

Glad I have a 360 so i do not have to worry any more about upgrading a video card or adding memory just to play a game.Eltroz

I'm glad I have a PC so I don't have to worry about replacing my Xbox with a 360 and buying an HDTV.
