Bioshock 2

[Praetorian]

45 ευρω στο steam προαγορα...

 

Και στην τιμή συμπεριλαμβάνεται το Bioshock (το αρχικό).

Αλλά αν το πάρεις από εκεί χάνεις την special edition (που θα είναι βέβαια φωτιά από άποψη τιμής):

 

[alexzzz]

Την special θα την κλέψει το άλτερ...

[Rubin074]

Και το πρώτο και το δεύτερο έχουν special editions άλλο πράμα...

[Mad_man]

2K: BioShock 2 won’t have LAN or dedicated servers

 

2K’s confirmed that BioShock 2’s multiplayer won’t have any LAN features or dedicated servers when the game launches in two-and-a-half weeks time.

 

The info was dropped in a Q&A in the Cult of Rapture on the shooter’s website.

 

“There is always a finite amount of time for the development of a game. Bringing Multiplayer to BioShock was a daunting task between the tech (there was no multiplayer support in the codebase from the first game) and the expectations of the community,” was the response.

 

It further added: “Either you try to do everything and so nothing feels finished or you focus your efforts to do a smaller number of things really well like an accessible online experience.

 

“We chose to spend the time we had creating a solid game foundation and unfortunately that did not include LAN play or dedicated servers.”

 

BS2 is released on February 9 for PS3, 360 and PC.

σα να γίνεται κακή συνήθεια σιγά-σιγά μου φαίνεται..

Όντως ρε φίλε.. θα ήθελα να ήξερα τι σκατά έχουν στα κεφάλια τους..

 

Τι κερδίζουν με το να μην έχουν [D], ξέρει κανείς?

Τι κερδίζουν με το να μην έχουν [D], ξέρει κανείς?

 

ίσως κονσολοποίηση οπότε δε χρειάζεται να ασχοληθούν extra χρόνο με το multiplayer..ότι είναι για τις κονσόλες θα είναι και για το pc

[Rubin074]

Και κάτι μου λέει ότι τουλάχιστον στην Αγγλία, όσον αφορά την Collector's του BioShock II ίσως η τιμή να πέσει κι άλλο...

 

 

Και μια ωραία διαφημισούλα στο μετρό στο Λονδίνο

Κάτι που δεν έχει αναφερθεί. Με το καλημέρα θα υπάρχει πλήρης συμβατότητα με το 3D Vision

Bioshock 2 PC FAQ

 

BIOSHOCK 2 PC Q&A

 

Did you change the UI/HUD for the PC version of the game?

We made quite a number of significant changes to UI / HUD for the PC version of the game. The decision was made early on not to support controllers at all in order to ensure that we got the mouse and keyboard control absolutely right. This of course required a redesign of large parts of the UI and the player HUD. For example, we removed the Weapons and Plasmid Selection Radials in favor of a custom created Weapons Selection Strip which more accurately reflects the keyboard layout.

 

How did you deal with widescreen? How will someone on a regular monitor and a widescreen monitor see the game?

We support single-screen 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions. The game has been optimized to ensure that all game elements such as menus, HUD, UI, etc appear exactly the same regardless of what resolution the user is running the game at. The only major difference for 4:3 and 5:4 users will be the smaller Field of View compared to a widescreen resolution.

 

What’s the FOV and can you change it?

The FOV cannot be changed, and it is set to 75 degrees vertically. The default for users with widescreen monitors will be that they have a horizontally expanded viewport as compared to 4:3 or 5:4 monitors.

 

What graphical settings are customizable? (Resolution, vsync, etc.)

There are quite a lot of graphics options that the user can change, both in the main menu and while in game. In game hotswapping allows the user to change things like texture detail and lighting on the fly to best match their rig.

 

We have also implemented some DX10 specific options for users with DX10 compatible Graphics Cards. Bioshock2 will auto-detect whether the user has a DX10 compatible Graphics Card and adjust the settings automatically.

 

The full list of customizable graphics options for BioShock 2 are:

 

DX9

- Resolution

- Graphics Quality

- Actor Detail

- Texture Detail

- Vertical Sync

- Shadow Maps

- High Detail Post Processing

- High Detail Shaders

- Real Time Reflections

- Distortion

- Force Global Lighting

 

DX10

- Resolution

- Graphics Quality

- Actor Detail

- Texture Detail

- Vertical Sync

- Shadow Maps

- High Detail Post Processing

- High Detail Shaders

- Real Time Reflections

- Distortion

- Force Global Lighting

- DirectX10 Detail Surfaces (DX10 specific option)

- 3D Stereo Vision (DX10 specific option)

 

Do you allow gamers to customize their controls?

Yes, we do! As you can see in the screenshots, we support control customization. Jake will talk about this in the PC podcast next week for those of you who want to learn more, so stay tuned.

 

How did you deal with the mouse handling for the game (like acceleration, etc)?

BioShock 2 uses the OS Mouse speed settings as a default. BioShock 2 also supports 3rd party mouse applications such as Logitech SetPoint.

 

Mouse acceleration is now off by default and other options such as sensitivity and inversion can be changed in-game. There is an in-built mouse acceleration feature which the user can enable if desired.

 

Is there LAN play?

No. Unfortunately we don’t support LAN play for MP. The Game For Windows – Live service allows us to include all the functionality that LAN play provides, with added security and gameplay options such as achievements and a social messaging system which really enhance the BioShock 2 MP experience.

 

What are the digital distribution options?

The digital distribution options for BioShock 2 utilize both Steam and Direct2Drive.

 

How does multiplayer work on PC? Is it different than consoles?

Besides the obvious PC specific control and UI changes which were required as a matter of course to ensure the PC experience is consistent, the PC version of the MP game is exactly the same in both structure and content as the Console version.

 

While there are some minor differences in the way that Games For Windows – Live handles things like game requests compared to Xbox Live, for the most part, it is exactly the same.

 

How does matchmaking work?

We use the Games For Windows – Live matchmaking service, which generally takes things such as the users Gamerscore, their “zone,” etc into account when matchmaking players. We also rely heavily on latency based matchmaking to ensure that the user is not only playing against someone of a similar skill level as themselves, but also someone who has roughly the same type and speed of internet connection.

 

Do you support dedicated servers?

No. We use the Games For Windows – Live servers to allow for more accurate matchmaking, as well as more comprehensive stat tracking and anti cheating functionality.

 

Do you support any special display modes? BioShock 2 has been designed from the outset to take advantage of NVIDIA’s GeForce 3D Vision displays.

Για το DRM ισχύει τελικά το lesser evil που αναφέρεται εδώ ε;

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/62072

 

Περιορισμός εγκατάστασης σε 15 φορές από το Windows live (που κάνεις reset με τηλέφωνο στην Microsoft(!)) και SecuRom μόνο για την έκδοση retail (DVD-πακετάκι) του παιχνιδιού, και όχι για το Steam.

 

Μου είχε κακοφανεί αρκετά που στο πρώτο είχαν τον περιορισμό των 5 συνολικών εγκαταστάσεων που έπρεπε να κάνεις uninstall για να κερδίσεις πίσω μια εγκατάσταση και ιστορίες (τελικά το αφαίρεσαν μετά από λίγο καιρό).

 

Επίσης, και πάλι καθόλου λόγος για SDK/modding tools. Να μην ελπίζω καν...;

Θυμάμαι λίγες μέρες πριν βγει το πρώτο bioshock που είχαν αρχίσει να ακούγονται διάφορα για την ασφάλεια και τις εγκαταστάσεις.Από εκείνη την χρυσή εποχή μου έχει μείνει το σχόλιο ενός τύπου σε κάποιο torrent site που έλεγε OK, I'WE BEEN READING THIS SHIT FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW,

AND I'M SO PISSED THAT I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE AN ORIGINAL BIOSHOCK DISC...

SO I CAN TAKE OUT MY COCK AN FUCK IT RIGHT IN THE HOLE, IT PROBABLY WON'T FIT,

BUT HELL, I LIKE IT TIGHT!!!
