Hows this game going to run on my system:

Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz
4GB Ram
vista64
8600GTS overclocked

Will i get all the dx10 goodness? or is the 8600 too slow

its only a stop gap.

Check out the E3 vid of Bioshock again:

From watching this, I dont think that this game is over hyped at all, very nicely done game and lots of intresting things.

I guess UT3 will be DX10 aswell then if Bioshock is? So if this runs smooth, we can be sure UT3 will and maybe GOW if it comes ot PC?

That vid of Bioshock is like the best one I think, pretty much a propor review.

Saw that too, this is the source.

It basically means we'll be able to download it on Tuesday morning!

Gonzo0 · 19 Aug 2007 at 22:20

You know most of the gaming community are going to be up early into tuesday morning. I bet the hosting server crashes due to the sheer number of gamers trying to get bioshock.

Robert · 19 Aug 2007 at 22:20

well midnight tomorrow.

For all you none FP subscribers:

RoachycaL · 19 Aug 2007 at 22:29

So is this only available on Fileplanet? Or do we not know? I just hate those types of sites and always get capped speeds from them. Anyone know of sites releasing it with decent speeds? Also what time will that be over here?

I'm still running on my X850 but Ive got a mate who has no interwebs at the moment so I'm giving it to him as a favour

For £4 I just subbed for a month to FP, nZone won't have the demo at the same time as FP !

Gonzo0 · 19 Aug 2007 at 22:34

Just been reading 2K forums and Elizabeth said that the Bioshock demo will be free on filep;anet, you only have to subscribe if you want to pre-load. Once the demo is officially released it will be free on FP

killer_uk · 19 Aug 2007 at 22:35

juno_first · 19 Aug 2007 at 22:38
