New BioShock trailer.

Great new trailer at the top. (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/bioshock/media.html?autoplay=6166763&tag=topslot;title;1&om_act=convert&om_clk=topslot)

^ Over six minutes of game footage. So nice.

I hope it's a good and difficult game though.

System Shock 2 got so much flak for being unapologetically complex and challenging.

I'm worried they'll make the player too powerful in BioShock. (All the abilities they're giving you, the fact you can interact with machines without having to "hack" them, etc.)

Like, a lot of the things you can do in BioShock are things you could do in SS2, but having the ability and using the ability are two different things.

SS2 made you work for everything.

Anyways, setting ablaze a teddy bear and throwing it at the enemy: Way cool. :P

This game has the most amazing gameplay I have ever seen. I love the whole moral dilema of if you kill a little sister it will help you survive but then you are no better than the splicers. To reach the good ending, you have to make the game harder on yourself by not preying on the sisters.

Did you see the little sister animation at the end...creepy
Then again, it might not be so hard to kill them after watching them siphon the fluid from corpses.

I will think twice about killing those big daddies, those things just have a very physical presence and you just know it would kick your butt if you make them angry.

My only fear is that with all the complex AI algorythms, it will be easy to find ways to exploit the AI to make the game easier. Hopefully, it is difficult to break the game or find buggy exploits by thinkning way outside the box.

I love the art design and graphics! Finally the doom 3 engine can be pushed to have more objects, more lighting and more particle effects. I always loved the potential of that engine and I knew it was just ahead of its time by about 5 years. This game feels like going into some comic book or insane geigger world.

^ It's running on Unreal 3 tech, actually.

Nah, it's not sexual enough to be H.R. Giger. heh.

Looks brilliant as usual. After watching that, I don't think I can kill the Little Sisters. That final scene was freaky - more disturbing than the earlier trailer which finished with the the player approaching a Little Sister with a wrench.

While it looks great, I'm a little worried that it all looked a bit set-up. Everything needed to kill the Big Daddy was in that room. It seemed a bit neat. But that's being picky.

This game wasn't really on my radar up until now. Seeing some of the latest game play movies and reading more about how the game works, this looks to be a breakthrough of sorts in terms of game play and player interaction within the gameworld.

I have to admit I'm starting to get just a little psyched about the release of this game which doesn't usually happen to me with most games. Last time I got really psyched up for a release was with Oblivion and the time before that was for Morrowind. I hope the anticipation of the release of this game meets the reality of how well it plays. That would be awesome.

Dude, it was a staged presentation meant to illustrate the gameplay possibilities, of course it all looks "set-up".

[Kalbrecht]

Was it? Well, crap - I didn't have sound on. I was hoping it was a mission-type.

So, how are they handling plasmid usage? In SS2, you had psychic energy that was used up; what analogue have they drawn for BS? It shoor doo look purdy, though.
