*** Official BioShock 2 Thread ***

It seems lazy because of how well it worked in the first.

If a game is on pc and 360 and is made by the same developers, then shouldn't it be fairly trivial to allow the player to use a 360 pad? All it's going to boil down to is a gui change and a different key mapping, we won't be losing anything other than accuracy. If the PC version has gameplay mechanics that the 360 one doesn't then I can see the logic behind not supporting the controller, but I bet they'll be identical.

By the same logic they should allow a keyboard and mouse to work with the 360 version.
 
Another thing to bear in mind is that the following PC ports were all much better gameplay wise with a 360 gamepad:

Dead Space
Resident Evil5
Street Fighter4
Batman Arkham Asylum

Try playing any of those for long with mouse+kb & then you can see the point I'm trying to make ;)

That is partly the point I am trying to make, those games sucked with Keyboard/Mouse because no effort was made to change the GUI/Control system. They just took a Console game and bolted on kyb/mouse support which sucked.

With this game, it looks like they have modified the game to play with a keyboard/mouse and in much the same way Dead space was "broken" with a Keyboard and mouse, Bioshock 2 maybe even more so with a gamepad.

I do think using Street Fighter was overkill for the discussion though ;)

*Imagines Street Fighter 4 with mouse gestures for finishers?

Up, down, round in a circle, Left click, scroll up and SPINNING BIRD KICK !!!

rofl, i couldnt even imagine anyone playing it with a keyboard alone.
 
Ce looks nice but im just don't see the point in most of the stuff lol.

Glad i preorderd the Rapture Edition from Zavvi with the same artbook. Dispatched yesterday :).
 
Forget all about this.

The Collectors edition looks brillliant but I cant afford to pay £70 for it luckily Amazon are selling it for £40 :D
 
all uk and europe stocks have been shipped this week and are/will be on time ;)

as far as i know enough stock went out for the pre orders.

and the delay wasnt just about polish its more about not hitting sales targets for the 1st quarter ;)

Try playing SF4 with a 360 pad ;)

But seriously pc gamers moan about everything and anything, its an fps for godsake. Most pc gamers constantly go on ranting to console players how much better kb & mouse is and now your all moaning you cant play handicapped with a pad......... :confused:

Even a keyboard is better to play SFIV on than a terrible 360 pad.

Arcade stick all the way, though.
 
Just looking on Zavvi, They have Bioshock 2 - Rapture Edition. Exclusive to Zavvi apparently, its £29.99 and you get the game and the Deco Devolution hardcover book.

Not bad for those that want the special edition just for the art book :)
