Bioshock General Discussion ( Xbox 360 )


Recommended Posts

You know, I hate you people. Here I am minding my own business, impatiently waiting for Bioshock to come out, when I get into work this morning and see that some of you have already played the demo. It's so not fair :p Now, I have to wait until I get home later tonight to start downloading it... :cry:

This comic pretty much sums up my feelings... :p

I played the demo before I left for work this morning and the only thing I can say is......mother?

This game is fekkin amazing and creepy! For those of you who have played the demo, how did you feel about the Little Sister as you walked above her on the catwalk? The last time I felt that scared/freaked out of a kid was the little girl in FEAR and before that the babies room/crib in Phantasmagoria!

8 hours and counting until I get to try it...

Also get a load of this. I left my 360 on over night as I had not downloaded it in full before I went to bed, woke up, and it was still only at 73%!!!!! That is 7 hours later!!!

Stopped the download, and then just started it again, and it was flying.

I just cannot believe the marketplace takes that much of a hit and obviously does not fix itself when so many people want the same thing. Seems almost inexcusable for a service we have to pay for.

Well you don't have to pay to get the demos :ninja: .

Dying to play this. I am on 36%, started about 20mins ago. It's wierd, it seems I can download content much faster through Xboxlive than on my PC, and I network my 360 through my pc to get a connection, I downloaded the Darkness demo(1.27gb) in about 65mins, but on my pc I get about 210 to 220 k/bs at max That wouldn't get a 1gb in an hour.... :blink: . I am so confused.

mines downloading atm 60% wooo getting there

feel sorry for the people from japan:

"Content: BioShock Demo

Price: Free

Availability: Not available in Japan" from MajorNelson's blog

edit: acies i also download stuff faster on my 360 but my 360 is plugged straight into the router

Damn the need to work for a living!

I got the game on pre-order (and I never pre-order), but I think the demo will tide me over. Shall have to hope the other-half isn't playing Hitman when I get in tonight. Well, I suppose she can play while I download. Yeah, till the download is done!

What was the big announcement that was supposed to be released on Sunday? I know there is a thread on the PS3 forums about it coming out for the PS3 also and people were speculating that was the announcement.

LOL, no way would they announce a PS3 version like that before it's been released for 360. The Demo was the announcement.

Stuck on 65% now:(

No halo WILL NOT out-do it.

Halo is poo. Get some fresh air!

And YOU, GET OFF NEOWIN. We don't need lame trollers like yourself :) Good day

Green_Eye, :laugh: my accent isn't that bad :p

scazza think its ?36.99 on shopto.net the limited and the normal for some reason?

That is not the limited edition on ShopTo>. It's a tin case version. Nothing more. Limited Edition is exclusive to GAME and it's sub companies

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
