Any Bio-Shock fans out there? [ Electronic Game ]

I always keep a good game system around the house. Never know when kids are going to be stuck over at my house and I might need swift entertainment options.

I haven't been bitten by the gaming bug myself in many years ... until recently. Curiousity compelled me to take a gander at the highly touted BioShock ... and I haven't put down the controller since. I totally immersed in the mileau. Yes...

I am enraptured with Rapture! :eek

Some of the artwork, the plasmid commercials and the little sister training posters seem like they would make very cool display pieces if done well.

Anybody heard of anything from this game?

I finished this game about a week ago and was blown away by it. I had heard so many positive things about it and it truly surpassed that! So many great things and details in the game that just put you in Rapture as if you were there, it was soo atmospheric. Brilliant game and really on the edge of your seat stuff!

I too would love to see BioShock props, after the amount of effort they put into detail into the game, it would be a crime not to! After reading that other thread, it's a shame that not many props came from it. I wonder how Griefboys Adam extractor went.
 
Well, supposedly a Bioshock movie is being made. 2010, I believe. Then we'll be swamped by RPFers wanting to do props from the MOVIE.

I hope some of the board's graphical geniuses get their build-on ... :love and not just the "gun and gadget" nuts. :angry

Bioshock was the BEST game I played last year. I LOVED it..it started out as a rental and I had to own it after I beat it. I have not played again since then in hopes I forget a good majority of it when I pick it up again later this year.
 
I didn't know much about this game, but a friend came in to visit me at work last week and was telling me about how a close friend of hers had done a lot of design work on the game, and how busy he's been since doing publicity and tours and the such. Now I'm very interested in checking it out...
 
Bioshock rules.

I'm on my fourth go-around. I'm harvesting all of the little sisters. hehehehehe

Everytime I go through the game I keep finding new stuff.
 
[MILD SPOILERS]

I remember Myst, which had exceptional beauty and very little game play.

Sort of like a movie with an eight trillion dollar budget for sets and props and no characters, no plot, no drama and no action.

BioShock has the awesome sets ... but it's got a damn good shooter intermeshed within them. Discovering the back history of Rapture and its principals, their interactions and rivalries along with the story of the failed utopia that is Rapture was a joy.

The voice-acting for the characters - from the Leads to the Supporting Nobodys - is top notch. I can't recall a false or tinny note. I love listening to the insane and addled splicers rambling on to themselves. One of them in particular cracks me up as he mourns the unappreciative Baby Janes and his miserable love life. "First I'll get some hair... and then I'll get some money..."

One of them leapt out of a stall at me howling "She was like that when I found her!"

I was laughing so hard that I almost coundn't beat his skulll in with my pipe wrench. And then there was the worker drone who had gone postal screaming "Report me, you #$@! !"

If you pick up and listen to the recordings, you can fabricate a back history for Rapture and its pricipals. I found the metamorphesis of Doctor Tannenbaum [sp] - from souless Nazi collaborator to Mother Protector of the Little Sisters - to be particularly stirring.

I've never seen a game like it, kind of Half-Life with philosophy and an artistic soul. The design is so noteworthy :love I just wish there were replica/representations out there.

Finished up my ADAM syringe. All metal (and glass), very heavy and very real! J I’m working on another one that will have an LED light up the ADAM when you pull the lever. Second picture uses sunlight to simulate what it should look like when finished. I’m also working on an EVE syringe that uses a very real and nasty looking needle. The two should look really cool together.

Wow. That's damn cool. I'd buy a LED one if you ever did a run of them, that's for sure.

Now slap a nipple on that baby! :lol

Could someone please make an accurate EVE label? That would really help.

Anyone who liked BioShock should check out the classic PC game "System Shock 2". BioShock is kind of like the spiritual successor to System Shock 2.

Kjr:

I am aware of systemshock 2's existance. I just love the "art deco" environment of BioShock so much I feel no desire to wander.

BioShock
In 2007, 2K Boston/2K Australia—previously known as Irrational Games—released a spiritual successor to the System Shock series, entitled BioShock.[74] The game takes place in an abandoned underwater utopian community that has somehow gone awry through the genetic modification of its populace. The game has been very successful commercially[75] and critically.[10] BioShock shares many gameplay elements with System Shock 2: reconstitution units can be found allowing the player to be resurrected when death occurs;[14][76] hacking, ammo conservation, and exploration are integral parts of gameplay;[16][77] and various powers may be acquired via plasmids, special abilities that function similarly to psionic powers in System Shock 2.[78][79] The two titles also share similar plots and employ audio logs to reveal much of the story.[80]


Okay, I'll be honest. :angel I don't have the time available to invest in another great game... so it's better if I don't find one!
