Bioshock General Discussion ( Xbox 360 )


Recommended Posts

^^ We know, it's been posted at least 4 times now, just 5 posts up from yours lol.

Seeing as this is the discussion thread now, here's a link to some lovely screenshots. News about the upcoming demo and developer walkthrough trailer :)

I think it's pretty much given the news will be for the 360/PC tonight :yes:

I get the feeling it's going to be a double announcement.

They will announce that a demo will be on Live immediately following the show and that once Bioshock is out there will be downloadable Plasmids.

:laugh: How long have those been building up for !? Why don't you split them between Bioshock and Halo 3. Getting the Legendary for ?50~!

I hope the announcement is either a demo finally or surprise co-op mode:DD

?27 is nothing, I remember when they used to send out vouchers at christmas for what you had earned, it was ?180 in total, shop manager in Bootle refused to take them at one stage until he verified it was genuine amou:) :) I just buy a lot of games/consoles

Ah I remember those days, when Game were actually good. Then internet retail took of:laugh:h: Rarely ever buy from Game now unless their prices are the same as online or have a deal going on.

I just buy a lot of games/consoles

You aint the only one, believe me ::laugh:h:

Finally pre-ordered the game today.

I traded in my Game Cube + 3 Games, DS Lite + 2 Games, and 9 360 games for a total of $330 credit at EB Games.

I know if I sold it all individually, I could have gotten much, much more, but I am lazy and honestly have to much going on to try and sell all of that stuff on its own.

So I pre-ordered, paid in full...

Bioshock

Call Of Duty 4

Grand Theft Auto IV (pre ordering it meant an extra 20% credit on all traded in games)

Unreal Tournament III (PS3, am into the fact I can use a Keyboard/Mouse)

And I still have $90 credit left.

I really am looking forward to Bioshock though. It is truly my most anticipated game of the year.

Confirmed. Wow. Slow as can be though. At least on my end.

yer same here, Im on a 20Mb (2MB) conn, and getting less than 400k (even thats in fits and starts :()

Honestly, as hard as it is going to be, I almost do not want to play this demo.

Reason one is I do not want to ruin the overall experience of the actual retail game.

Reason two is I have such high expectations for this game, and without being able to play the whole game (going back to reason one), I do not want my opinion tainted in any way.

Oh well, there is no doubt, I am going to check it out ASAP (more than likely tomorrow since the download is taking forever and I need to go to bed), but there is a huge part of me that does not want to check it out and just wait until the game is released.

I'm exactly the same dude, but the suspense is just too much :laugh: I'm the same every time a piece of news is released about Halo 3, I just can't help but read it!

I agree with your sentiment DL, I don't want to spoil my opinion of the game by playing a demo where I may be given an artificially inflated character (By this I mean that the character I play will have higher stats etc than when the game is started for the first time, after all its an RPG/Shooter hybrid) and thus could spoil the enjoyment of building the character up/affecting the upgrade path.

I however will give it a go, and if I find its detrimental to my overall enjoyment will stop and wait for the full release :) I will have to wait until tomorrow too as its 3:30am here and I need my beauty sleep :)

GOD DAMMIT PC DEMO! I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'LL RUN!!!

:(

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
