Yup Bioshock allll the way for me..the gameplay elements its giving the FPS genre is stunning..this game is gonna be a benchmark for FPSRyuketsu2043

Yeah, FPSs have never seen "revolutionary" advances before.  Like where you could do more than just shoot.

Except for that one time in 1998.

1940s art deco look?!?! Awesome!!!  I've never seen retro art in a FPS!  Well, never mind TimeSplitters, that was back in 2000 and the theme needs to be recycled.

Maybe while these guys are at it, they could release "revolutionary" sequels to 1997's Poweslave and Disruptor.  I mean, why bother putting a new name on a shooter anymore?  Isn't it time for a 5th generation Wolfenstein anyway?

I like the look of the game.  Looks fun and creepy.  But don't feed me a line about new gameplay dynamics and blurring the line between RPGs and FPSs.  No freakin' way.  All the gameplay footage is of

  1. Guy shoots at creepy "The Ring"-like little girl.
  2. Guy shoots at creepy mutant in diving suit
  3. Guy shoots at genetically modified assassin that can cling to the ceiling or a security helicopter
  4. Guy uses special plasmid powers to have these characters attack each other

Sounds like a good ol' FPS to me.

Gushing?  The hype machine is running smoothly and it's sucking you in.

I'm confident that Bioshock will be a great game, but the setting and tone are perhaps a bit too obscure for my tastes. Now, if this were a next-gen Deus Ex... I'd be significantly more excited. Similar gameplay goals, I would assume.

It's essentially just System Shock 2 with fancy graphics and possibly dumbed down gameplay, I don't see what there is to be excited about, personally, it's being overhyped since it's somewhat dissapointing listening to the features and realizing it's not nearly as expansive as System Shock 2.

Also, saying you're excited for this game and calling it an FPS shows you're an uneducated dork who doesn't now squat about the game anyway.

It's been done countless times before and it's been a proven method. Play Deus Ex or System Shock.

This hybrid first-person shooter from the creators of System Shock 2 combines elements of sci-fi and role-playing genres.

Genre: Sci-Fi First-Person ShooterGAMESPOT

Source: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/bioshock/index.html?q=bioshock

Set for release on the Xbox 360 and PC, BioShock is a first-person shooter devoted solely to the single-player experience.GAMESPOT
Source: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/bioshock/news.html?sid=6166593

I was only going by the extensive game footage I've seen and Gamespot's own description and stories.

That's odd.  You wouldn't think someone who can't read would call someone else uneducated.  Fool.

New stuff was shown, and all you guys can talk about is Gears and Mass Effect? Come on now, this could be the best first person shooter this year!NAPK1NS
I never said it wouldn't be good. It is on my Wish List, but there are dozens of shooter games out for the 360 and only one decent rpg. Of course I'm more excited for Mass Effect than Bioshock.

[QUOTE="g-rash"]This game looks very innovative and I'm proly waiting for this one more than any other game right now.Mikerules868
:O More than Halo 3!?!

Halo is a sequel, how is it "very innovative"? Why are so many people comparing this game to Halo 3?

Mass Effect is revolutionary. Bioshock looks pretty "Meh." I think the forums are being infested by 2k reps =P

I think the other way around. Mass Effect is an intergalactic 3rd person shooter rpg. BioShock is something so unique I can't even explain it.

       If they can surpass everything they accomplished on System Shock 2 gameplay and innovation wise. This might take my number 1 spot for greatest hybrid FPS of all time. Right now System Shock 2 is still my favorite followed by Deus Ex. These games are way more involving and they inspire creativity to come up with your own solutions. I like that way better than your standard run and gun FPS. Bioshock is going to be awesome!

Well the Idea of bwing in an uderwater city with creppy mutants sounds good but I'm sure about it. This game just doesn't scream play me. I may get ... after a price drop. And let's not foreget prey everyone was so excited over that and they all got dissapointed over that. I do confess however that I have Halo 3 Legendary Edtion reserved.

So just because they work for publications means they're all powerful and smart? Sure. Give me a break.

I had no interest in Bioshock, but after that Hunting Big Daddy video the flame on interest has been re-ignited. I'm still no to stoked for it though. Bioshock is on thin ice in my books.

I'm very glad to see a FPS with the single player experience being it's main focus.  And with polish and realism like no other, this is definately up there with Mass Effect for 2007 releases in my book.

Mass Effect is revolutionary. Bioshock looks pretty "Meh." I think the forums are being infested by 2k reps =P

Mass Effect is all of the science fiction cleshes swept into a pile, with an impressive graphics job. BioShock just goes above and beyond any of that.
