BioShock

[.Maleficus.]

Vista only? What are you talking about? Just because they have the Games for Windows logo, doesn't mean it is Vista only. Though they did start that logo up for Vista's launch. Like Crysis and Bioshock can run on XP.

Yep, I know that some games are still coming out for XP. But there are others (Halo 2 and Shadowrun for example) that are Vista Only. And I expect it to keep going that way. For a little while still they'll release games on XP too, but I highly doubt that by 2008 there will still be a lot of games new games running on XP.

I'll pass on both of those games. Played the heck out of Halo 2 for the Xbox. Shadowrun doesn't look good in my opinion. I think you should start worrying when big titles are announced as Vista only.

Well, there is a thread for Crysis, but I'll just answer your thing here. It is not Vista only. They have been saying for a while that they are trying to optimize the game so that it can play on 2 year old systems. Also, most of the footage they have released was in DX9. Here are the system requirements posted on crysis-online.

And yes, Bioshock is amazing too. When I thought I couldn't get more excite about Bioshock, I was wrong. Came home one day and saw a package on the front door. Open the package and the letter says "Welcome to Rapture" at the top. I just won an enclusive Bioshock t-shirt from this contest they held.

So who has downloaded the Bioshock demo for the xbox 360? I don't have a 360 and was sad when the PC demo was delayed...

Retail tomorrow, I decided to reserve the special edition from Gamestop. Wee, I'm excited.

FYI, the Bioshock pre-order version comes with BF2 for free...

Bioshock looks like a nice game, Too bad I won't have time to play it anytime soon. Oh well, next year it will be discounted...

I also looked at the Crysis pre-order and I am pretty sure it said vista only. I will double check when I am back at fry's this week and snap a photo with my phone (they chase you out if you snap photo's with a real camera...)

the preorder for crysis better not be vista only, though by then i plan to have it so who cares...


i have started seeing the bioshock commercials and it looks not hlaf bad, i might have to pick up a copy.

Damn good game. Whoever has Xbox Live, download this demo. It's free, and this game is gonna soar to the top on its release week.
