30 sec US TV Commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVKAsYn9J6s
I will just assume that Chris Remo read copy for that when he was still at IG. The IGN quote gives it away.
The twist is you're actually under the influence of a plazmid in Rapture, Columbia never existed, and you wake up. But then you wake up again! And it's all actually taking place in the film Vanilla Sky.

Standard buck wrecks house? Yeah, okay. Maybe if you walk right up to a splicer with the semi auto upgrade and shoot it 4 times in the face while stunned by electricity, which is not considered "wrecking house." But post-Hephaestus, it far from wrecks anything.
There's more than one splicer at a time and you can't kill them all in a second. They don't even seem to notice they're on fire because splicers are actually robots who feel no pain, apparently.
No shit. As I said, I've played the game before. However, Fort Frolic was mainly spider splicers, some thuggish splicers who are barely a threat. Didn't give me much of a chance to level up leadhead splicer damage. It doesn't excuse, as I said, difficulty wall instead of difficulty curve. From wrecking Fort Frolic to enemies shrugging off shotgun shots in Hephaestus. It's been like this every time I've played the game. The game shows its hand before it's even 1/3 done, and from there neglects to add enemy variety beyond making them stronger. And that's where the game's pitiful shooting, where enemies can't even be staggered, really gets put on the spot. It also highlights the weakness of the plasmids other than telekinesis, incinerate, and electro bolt.

There is the commercial heard you guys say you saw PS3 version where.
Things that make Bioshock 1 incredibly easy:
Upgrading the wrench's power and make it freeze enemies when you hit them
Help little sisters and get the Big Daddy plasmid that makes a Big Daddy protect you, use it and get into a fight with another Big Daddy. Watch them punch each other to death, kill the extremely weakened Big Daddy remaining, loot both Daddies.
Stockpile special ammo, use it when shit hits the fan
Using pladmids that are useful in more than one circumstance or doing only one thing. Electricity and the telekinesis one were extremely useful.

IGNs first vid about the soundtrack that got posted today. I mean its very brief, but you can tell it's the PS3 by the button prompt at the beginning. No combat, but at least you can see it runs smooth (so far)
Also Morma, setting guys on fire and then using the heat seeking rockets. Bliss.

Oh cool thanks Andrew.
It never crossed my mind till now, but I wonder if the tears do have an impact on the state of the world. Braid was this huge moment in gaming around the time Infinite would have first been considered, after all.
Could be PC with a PS3 controller?

I just saw the video it was the blue x button on the 360 controller so it was probably PC.
Wouldn't this be a bit predictable?
I would rather see Elizabeth open a tear to SWAT 4.

93% now. Should only be another day or two.
I'm still wondering if we will get the TF2 items right away or if we have to wait until Bioshock ships? If they are smart, they'll give them to people right away so that other players see them while playing TF2.
It was PC.

Yeah oh well hopefully soon they show some footage.
Fuck, that never crossed my mind.
Bioshock 1 and 2 really do provide a ton of tools to play around with, that openness intrigued me more than the world or story of Rapture.
I have a feeling the timeline of the United States in the 20th century and even the events in Bioshock 1&2 could be completely altered. It wouldn't surprise me if someone from the future that knew of Rapture's existence somehow figured out how to "tear" and decided to build their own Rapture, back in a time period where they would have very little opposition and such.
Oh no way! Ah well.
Old man Crow is at it again.
Is that from the final build? If so, nice to see stuff from the first demo still in.
The fact that we don't even know how many copies they need to sell to move the bar is really sketchy. For all we know it could just be moving up in pre-determined increments.
The thing I love so much about it is the kind of unnerving feeling I get from hearing that
anachronistic music
The sequence in the 2011 E3 playthrough with the horse was one of the most exciting sequences I've ever seen.
Amazon or PoopStop
Diznang at just the first 5 seconds, naw *shuts it off*

LOL Poopstop, good one.
I'm getting mine for free. Thanks, AMD!!
Although, I will be buying a copy of the game eventually, as I don't want Ken Levine's children to die of starvation.
I might double dip and grab a 360 copy just for shits, giggles and support.

Indeed. I kinda doubt that is true because I don't think they would flat out lie like that but who knows?
But either way, I'm pretty sure all the pre-order bonuses will be unlocked before the game is released.
I'm sure they get a cut of whatever AMD makes on the GPUs. These companies aren't running a charity here.

Is Get Games a reliable site? It has the pre-order deal and Spec Ops: The line for free.
Otherwise, any better PC deals that I'm not aware of??

If you pre-order from Green Man Gaming, you get the original Bioshock for free, plus a game of your choice, one of them being Spec Ops.

I hope they will. It would be the perfect chance to do so. Maybe it's an easter egg, hidden somewhere.

Oh niiiice. I thought that had stopped. Thanks!
The offer is still on in the UK. Not sure about the US, though.

I forgot how awesome that song they are using is.
Hahaha... it's fun that it's so close though, ya know? It's been a long time coming. Not that I didn't like Bioshock 2, but I feel this is the sequel the first game deserved.
In this way I actually feel that that long delay and drought actually was good for me. I might have spoiled myself on information, but now, I feel like I'm going in almost as fresh as I did with BioShock. And now that I'm finally getting hyped again, the game is only a couple weeks from release (though I'll have to wait til a few days after to start).
