Bioshock Demo - Hands On

[Jerome Scuggs]

Man, making a semi-hollow guitar shaped control sure is worth the extra $150.

Guitar, mic, drums

"rock band", not "guitar hero"

I filmed a crappy quality video of my first walk through of the Bioshock demo. I was gonna do a voice over for it, but my microphone decided to be a bitch and not work. Oh well.

Any complaints about the quality are already known by me. The sound should be very good, at least.

When I finally get that new camera, I'll finally be able to do stuff like this w/o it looking like ass, lol.

[Ayano]

Mind if I add you? I've been wondering if I could merge my xbox360 gaming and SS for a bit. Anyone have tags and wanna meet up? I'm a huge Lost Planet player and i don't have gears if that's want you're thinking, LP kills it MP-wise

Wtf, no mass-Effect?

[Kontrolz]

Yea Bioshock demo is pretty awesome. I loved the graphics and I can't wait for it to come out.

One thing about Rockband, it's going to have a new downloadable song every week for the first year it's out. Not saying that makes it worth $200 but there's definitely going to be more to it than just a guitar and a couple downloadable songs.

[Squeezer]

Finally a new games to come out on 360 thread!

I dloaded the Demo yesterday, played it through and was thoroughly impressed. The game has that perfect Resident Evil 4ish feel of terror mixed with knowledge that you can whoop ass at the same time. The main boss fight thing was extremely overwhelming as you're being charged at by about a dozen enemies at the same time.

Oh, and as a side note the city of Rapture looks like an awesome rendering of 1920's age of decadence style mixed with Gotham City.

Looks like I'm gonna hafta pick this one up too. Add that to this list:

-Skate (Sept. 11)
-Halo 3 (Sept. 25)
-Fifa 08.....I love the Fifa games (Sept. 29)
-Assassin's Creed (Nov. 2008)
-Rock Band (Dec. 2008)
-Devil May Cry 4 (Jan. 2008)
-Grand Theft Auto IV (Spring 2008)

I'm about to be really poor because of the 360. But, in regards to Rock Band, if you get three friends to go in with you then it only costs $50-55 each. That's what my friends and I are doing, although I think it only comes with one guitar, so we'll probably have to buy another so one of us can play the bass. I'm really excited for Rock Band though, because it looks like the perfect game to get hammered and have a party around. It's Karaoke for the ADD generation.

I disagree. I know people who would sell both kidneys to play that game. Not to mention that it's a whole bunch of hardware--you're not just paying $200 for a shiny disc.

There's no way Rock Band will fail. Not if they live up to the promise of having lots of downloadable content (not to mention new content every week after the release of the game). If anything, GH3 will pale in comparison and become the shell of a former heavyweight.

But you're right--that's a whole other thread.

It's a whole 'nother thread, but Rock Band will fail for the sole reason that the asking price of it is $200.

oh shit, that's a lot of money (if you're poor)
