Bioshock has a release date already. It's on 21st August. thumbup.gif

It seems Irrational Software is very confident to announce a release date months ahead of schedule. sweat.gif

You know, with a little tweaking, you could turn it into an FPS Fallout....

Fallout 3 is coming from the developers of TES4: Oblivion and running on the same engine, perhaps a slightly modified version.

BioShock Artbook is available in low res(15MB) & high res(75MB) PDF format. Be warned though there are spoilers in Ken Levine's foreword so you should skip it till you've played through the game. Just look at all the art works and designs.

The game activation will be removed once the game's hype and popularity fades.

QUOTE
Given the internets and what they are -- with their tubes and all -- I want to sort of talk about the concerns people have. We take the concerns people have very seriously. There's been some concern like, "What happens if it's three years from now, or ten years from now, when I want to play this game. And, you know, Irrational Games has been hit by a meteor?" We will unset the online activation at some point in the future -- we're not talking about when. If people have concern about that they shouldn't be worried about that. This activation is for the early period of the game when it's really hot and there are people really trying to find ways to play the game without buying it. Of course, there are a lot of people who are legitimately trying to play it. We're not trying to be Draconian, we're trying to find a balance.

And the Bioshock activation will be increased from 2 to 5 times.

QUOTE
We have been reading and listening to your frustrations over SecuROM, PC activation problems, and technical support issues since BioShock launched on Tuesday, and we've devised a plan to help.

Starting immediately, we will be upping the activation count to a 5 by 5 plan. We will be raising the maximum amount of computers a user can have BioShock installed on simultaneously from 2 to 5, and allowing a user to reinstall BioShock on each of those computers from 3 times to 5 times. Also, we have in the works a revoke tool which you will be able to run on your machine if you want to free up that key and move it to to another computer (this works very much like Steam or iTunes system). We are also working with SecuROM and 2K customer service, so that when you do need to call in support problems, you get answers to your questions faster, without much waiting or being bounced around. SecuROM has been given much more autonomy to help fix your problems quickly and effectively. I am personally sorry for anyone who got bounced around in the past couple days (I even think I contributed to this problem) and we're going to make sure that does not happen in the future.
