This makes me :(

http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/bioshock/BioShock/2/050906/050906_bioshock_9.jpg

With that small proviso, the other 99.9% of this game looks incredible. The visual style is fantastic, and they have the technology to back it up. The gameplay should be pretty interesting as well if they follow through on their claims.

The colors seem really off. like they are super saturated or overly bright. i don't think i have the right terminology to properly explain it but the colors seem really off and really detract from otherwise great looking graphics. Something i'd really have to get used to i guess because right now it really bugs me.

ok can anyone remember the name of a Myst-style puzzle/discovery type game from like back in 1998 that was like four or five CDs in length? You played a detective who was trying to uncover something-or-other.

I can't remember the name but for some reason one of the screenshots reminded me a bit of it.

hmm, i really want to like it, but it's yet another horror rpg that takes place in dark indoor settings. occasionally you'll stumble upon someone (enemy or npc). most of it will be empty, dark corridors.

i guess oblivion spoilt me. i want huge outdoors with the art direction of bioshock. fallout with the oblivion engine please.

but maybe bioshock will surprise me.

I think I'm the only person NOT excited by these shots. I mean, they tell me absolutely nothing. I know nothing about this game and the screenshots tell me nothing. It's pretty. Ok. Big deal. For a FPS game being pretty is super important, for an RPG it's still important - but not as important as other things. What does it play like? Is it Oblivion like real-time combat? In that bathroom screenshot, what can I do? What is there for me to do in this room? Does the room even have a point besides to hold pretty looking water?

I'm ubar hard for this game but I've got half a mind to stick my fingers in my ears and yell out loud whenever someone covers it.

I'm just so tired of waiting for STALKER and other games like it that I've started to purposefully keep myself from getting hyped up about it. I love the idea of Dead Rising but I've only watched one trailer and fled from any website mentioning it.
