I just played the demo on steam. The minute i get back in edmonton i'm buying it for the pc. The game looks incredible and those creepers scare the shit out of me!

I tried the PC version, it didn't work... all i see is a lot of black and some textures here and there. I installed the fix that comes with it thinking it would fix it but my computer kept restarting at login... had to do a system restore

I still want to play it but I don't think I'll risk installing anything else that will keep me busy for a day

Anybody knows how I can fix this?

EDIT: Forgot that I have AMD at home not at work... so no need for that fix

Any idea why this game isn't working on a Pentium D 3.2GHz & 3.25GHz with 1.5GB RAM and ATI Radeon x850?

I have the latest driver from ATI, the one releast on aug 13th.
All I see are some smoke/water/fire sprites/textures... the rest is all black.

EDIT: Nevermind... I've been reading the Technical Support thread at the BioShock forums... well actually it's just Technical, no support... they don't replay. It looks like this demo has an Issue with the X850 (no textures, no cursor)... some other cards have this as well... all ATI. I hope they fix it, I'm looking forward to give this a try

Got my PC collector's edition pre-ordered and in the mail on it's way to my door this Friday

Played the 360 demo and it's stunning. Can't wait to get me mits on one with decent controls.

I'm downloading the 360demo right now. Its had a lot of hype so I hope it lives up it

ae. · 08-22-2007, 03:57 AM

It's amazing, the sense of atmosphere is great and the sounds and music are amazing! i love the little melancholic violin tune.
It's.. omg... an experience. And i'm only talking about the demo.

And imo it looks better than GoW, it's way more coherent and seamless. The shaders are amazing.
and running at 1680x1050 everything on high means the lack of AA is not a matter.
