- marmite, on 10/10/2007, -2/+51Demo? :-D
- Sarawanan, on 10/10/2007, -7/+48My bet:
1) BioShock Demo Goes on Live right after the announcement
2) When prompt to download some error message shows up
3) Entire Live Marketplace is acting weird
4) Major Nelson tells us that downloads should be working properly now
5) Extremely Slow Download
6) Mass Acclaim for the Game
7) BioShock sells out and leaves it's dust on MP3:Corruption - bdub92, on 10/10/2007, -5/+28If the game is half as good as it is projected to be, I could care less about multiplayer. Even with a multiplayer system, it would be extremely boring as much of the game relies on using the environment and your special powers.
- Koldewyse, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22The demo will go online; Live will go offline.
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Demo? Hopefully for the PC as well. I've been waiting to benchmark this game!
- Rukaribe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16...why do you talk like that?
- deici66, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14I can only guess the surprise announcement being major Nelson coming out of the closet.
- jesushitler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Are you guessing or hoping?
- daveisfera, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Or you could just call in sick.
- Hermitwise, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10If people digg your comment enough it might come true, like clapping for fairies.
- dataless, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9360 only ***** bull *****
- geartype2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8he's comparing a fps adventure game, to an fps adventure game. I think it's pretty apt. Metroid Prime isn't some amazingly awesome game that we should all worship. It's actually pretty boring. Also, System Shock didn't even sell well, it only sold 170,000 copies, so at this point, I know you are talking out of your ass and am positive you have never played any fps adventure besides metroid prime. I suggest playing Deus Ex, or System Shock to open your eyes. Maybe try a bit of thief.
- wafflez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8LOL that's obviously why started putting the branding "Games For Windows" on games and put DX10 in vista. jesus ***** do you even think before you type?
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I understood it...
- stupergenius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I believe! /tear
- Godlesswanderer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Out of everything, you're most curious about killing little girls?
- dend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5There is no Multiplayer for this game, a disappointment sure - but this game is just looking awesome, ive been waiting for a killer SP FPS on the PC since hl2. I wouldnt be surprised if they released MP in a patch later on(like FEAR did)
- po43292, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think he meant he "could not care less".
- CursorTN, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8I can't wait to pick this game up. It promises to be the best single player shooter experience since Half Life 2. I'd be pleasantly surprised if there were a demo. Listened to the 1up Yours Podcast and they already have had final review code for a couple of weeks, so it's quite possible that they have had enough time to do a demo. I'm really curious what happens when you kill the blood-drinking, 7-year-old-girl-looking, demonic 'little sisters.'
Too bad they won't be announcing multiplayer. - jesushitler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5wow. someone is a bit defensive. when did you play mp 3 btw?
- yournamehere, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4it's not just a shooter you tool. if you knew anything about Irrational games you would be psyched for this.
- Morphinity, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7First person shooters are best on a console? Turn off your auto-aim and we'll see what is best.
- Wendigo6x3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+421st
- TheSaladMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4FEAR came with MP, they just made it free later on.
- Sarawanan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5 I wouldn't be a good gambler if I said "7) BioShock sells out and leaves it's dust on Halo 3", would I?
- slaystench, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I hope it's a demo I can't decide if I should buy this for the PC or 360. I need to know how it plays first.
- SharkyTech, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Heres the trailer:

Theres an SD link at the bottom if u don't have the bandwidth (or patience for the HD version) - Morphinity, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Put the demo on the PC too!
- postal21, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3ZOMG RIGHT NOW - DEMO FUC YEAH
- ChiTownHero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3BioShock was at the Chicago Comic Con this weekend, I played the demo and all I have to say is, Tommy Guns FTW!!!
- Jontastic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah!
I was also at the Chicago Comic Con and played the game. It was marvelous.
Anyway, what I played would make for a perfect demo, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is what they end up releasing tonight (i hope).
Awesome game! - byronm, on 10/10/2007, -6/+9A demo and i would be magically sick for work tomorrow.. i can drink enough to make that happen
- Doom5, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Why would they release a demo? The hype for this game is insane as it is; for a game like this, a demo wouldn't help sales.Hell, it's possible it may even lower them IMO, because on the internet, people nitpick about EVERYTHING.
Almost every time a demo comes out before the retail game does, all I see is people bitching; the only recent exception to this rule seems to be Overlord. However, that is a less conventional game, and didn't have any hype behind it.
They'll probably just announce some really cool DLC, an expansion, or something of that sort. - supersaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Demo would be sweet it would give my 8800ultra something to chew on finally
- banj0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3XBox360 demo only. :sad:
- UberC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21.35GB yowzers
- GrizzlyWG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Thanks for the info dataless!
- Zero2aHero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Huh?
I can think of a bunch of games that got great hype from having demos...
Lost Planet, Crackdown, Eternal Sonata, and Stranglehold to name a few. Releasing a demo for a GOOD game does nothing but help it. Tell me some demos that you think were good that other people nitpicked about.
Why would they announce DLC for a game that isn't out for two weeks still? Why would they announce an expansion? What the hell are you thinking? - dataless, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/home.html some pc love then :)
- mobbydick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2And is it gonna be released before the 24th of august?
- techmaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So he should be saying "This game is NOT! cool" like Borat?
- drconnery, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2ITS THE DEMO! Best demo ever btw! I can see why a lot of mags gave this game such a huge score or perfect score.
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Demo confirmed! :)
- Lou3000, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3SpikeTV is so terrible.
- dataless, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2a demo would be soooo sweet
- brasso, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Indeed geartype2, some of the best games right there.
- wafflez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I have a feeling that there wont be a PC demo, dunno why but I do...Also, do you know if this has DX10?
=D I'm so psyched - supersaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hey remember the 8bit tie? ?
- r5a2k3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2LOL marketplace is getting HAMMERED.
