Bioshock General Discussion ( Xbox 360 )


Recommended Posts

It looks like this demo is impacting the stability of Xbox Live itself. A lot of people couldn't even play online a few minutes ago, they seem to have gotten it working quickly though.

I managed to somehow fixed that problem I think, all I did was logout and log back in, oh and the demo download is going at full speed.

I am very unhappy with MS. My gears of war has always worked perfectly. Right during this huge failure of live the game I was playing at the time, now is unrecognized by my 360 and says, "to play this game put it in an xbox 360".

What the hell did they do?

Unplug all cables, and plug them back in. Verify that your disc is clean.

Wrong thread mystic and BTW, I had that problem on my old Xbox 360, its your disc lens ( I think ) over time my Xbox 360 starting having it a lot then finally fail with a disc error one day and got a replacement :).

Glad to read I am not the only one who thinks the way I do about the demo, but as you all already said, and I agree, no doubt we all are going to check it out as soon as possible. I just cannot help it.

However I may very well have to wait until tomorrow, as it is about 25 minutes from the latest I can go to bed for work, however there is a very small chance I might check it out because...

Usually this never works for me, but it appears to have worked this time around. I stopped the download (which after 50 minutes was only at 15%), Deleted it, Restarted my console, and started the download, and it was at 4% within a minute so I just put my TV on and will see what happens. Even if I do get it quick, I only have a few minutes, so yeah, I will probably wait. Am definitely very interested to read the comments on initial impressions tomorrow while at work.

And KICK ASS, I was just about to go download the new trailer, but no need, I literally just watched it on TV as a commercial while watching the Comedy Central roast of Flavor Flav!!

I just thought I could post in here because it happened at the time of this demo's release.

Blackshadow, why would it be the lens when all the other games work fine?

I don't know but all I know it has something to do with the disc thing :p, it happened to me also, Gears of War was getting lots of "Insert a Xbox 360 game" error but when I tried Perfect Dark Zero it was okay.

Ah so thats why your Xbox 360 is always set to Busy when I see you on =P

Arggg, I really don't want to send it in now (my xbox), so I think I am going to wait and see if other games do this. I wonder why Gears has a tendency to do this first?

I guess I will call up MS tomorrow and see what they say. Do I raise the issue of sending it in or having me pay $20 to get the game fixed?

Actually it is because minus The Stranglehold demo, I have been gaming on my PS3 since I got it, so if I am on my 360, all I am ever doing is watching a movie from the Marketplace or watching a HD DVD, and with movies I have it set to not bother me with notifications so it says I am Busy. ;)

Bioshock is going to change that not gaming on my 360 trend though, no doubt about it.

Just beat the Bioshock demo, took me about 40mins in total. There is soooo much to look at and gawk over, the artwork is incredible. I hacked a little flying bot and a turret which helped me kill a swarm after setting off an alarm. Electrifying water was great.

Gah total blue balls, can't wait till the 21st. MOAR! I always scoff at the collectors edition, but I am picking the CE of this up for sure!

Totally replaying it over and over until the 21st :p

As of right now I have tremendous amounts of WIN flowing through my system that's because my eyes were making contact with the HDTV that I was playing Bioshock on and because of this win channelling through my system it is very Hard to keep all the excitement i have for this game contained an... **** IT!!! This game is amazing totally blew me away had me locked to that screen cringing at every turn use every weapon and plasmid im in :wub: ....

There that felt better ... Phew.

Seriously download it like NOW :p

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
