I just keep reminding myself what, say the Half Life introduction would have felt like to me if I hadn't read articles talking about it in great details a hundreds times before. Works wonders for me.

I'm really hoping this game can recapture the "OMG WTF is this?????ß You've got to be kidding me!!!!!!!1" feeling I got when playing the demo of Thief. There's little doubt that my hopes are with the right people here, or is there?

Mhhh, Bioshock.

THIS is why you and I are going to be in a world of hurt tomorrow (Weds Sept 20th) at around 6:30pm (EST I'm assuming...)

Goddamnit Sam!!!

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-19-2006, 11:32 PM

Look! Even she's excited. So much so, in fact, that she's jumping for joy.

I don't see any erect nipples. Maybe I just haven't zoomed enough.

Wha... what could it possibly be?! Argh. Must resist. Let's dig a hole and put our computers in there to do some Doom death matching all night.

Nipples? Pfff. Those folks are way more sophisticated than that. On the other hand...

Nope, no visible nipples there, either.

Video footage?

RLacey · 09-20-2006, 04:25 PM

It does say in that news post that they're waiting for a video, so I'd guess that it is indeed a video

.

I want this game. Now.

Quoted for emphasis.

It's currently 8:45 here and I don't see the video up. I take it they're on Pacific time? or just late?

RLacey · 09-20-2006, 04:45 PM

Hey, it's the 21st over here! They have failed!

EvoG · 09-20-2006, 07:21 PM

Wow.

Crappy, short reply I know, but thats all I can say to sound as impressed as I can...

Not only did we get a great video, it was 15 fricking minutes long! Glorious.

Man! It's good to see creative and original games coming out. I'm one of those gamers who appreciate a good game that offers an immersive narrative but mutliple soultions to complete tasks. I think fondly of the days I played Deus Ex.

But now, how do hardc0re AGer's feel about this game...

TM3 · 09-20-2006, 10:43 PM

Ahhh..what? Can you elaborate on that please?

EvoG · 09-20-2006, 11:00 PM

...err nothing...it was just a throw away comment...thought perhaps you would've just rode it out with me.

Considering the quality of the narrative here (as evidenced by System Shock 2), and a more thought provoking aspect of the gameplay, I was midly curious how people who are devote AGer's would feel about a game like this. If you've read what I or Intrepid or Sam or a bunch of others have discussed about the need for adventure games to evolve, games like this come close to, if not surpassing (IMHO), adventures in gameplay while being story centric and more intelligent in approach.

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-20-2006, 11:13 PM

Just watched the gameplay movie.

LY F

K, I WANT THIS GAME BADLY!!!

samIamsad · 09-20-2006, 11:29 PM

REFUSE! RESIST!!!

MMmggaaaaggggggh.

You bitches!

EvoG · 09-20-2006, 11:49 PM

Sam, just give in to it.

First. Video. Footage. EvAr.

Its alright...you'll feel all the stronger for it. Look at Trep...he said "fook". Rarely does strong language such as this get tossed around.

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-20-2006, 11:56 PM

Oh shut up.

samIamsad · 09-21-2006, 12:09 AM

Theheh.

Kinda stupid trying to stop smoking around the time the first video footage of Bioshock is made available..

I swear, you'll see a pic of me next to the term "itching" in all of your dictionaries for centuries to come. Deal with it! Hah!

insane_cobra · 09-21-2006, 12:22 AM

At least you won't be alone, I exceeded my download limit grabbing those gorgeous Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Trusty Bell videos.
