1.8 GB size, has anyone tried it yet? Is it the same as the PC/X360 demo?

Can't remap the controls. Fire is always on R2/L2. And I didn't like that Triangle is jump and X is use.

Bioshock demo was 1.3GB on 360.itxaka said:Downloading at home while i'm working.
Probably has better sound that the 360 version (uncompressed?) as the demos for the 360 was about 700Mb and this one is too big if it's the same.
Fail. Even though I have those click-on Real Trigger thingies, I still prefer L1/R1 for shooting in PS3 games.PuppetMaster said:Played it. It is the first part of the game. It starts from the plane crash, ends after going into an elevator when you are supposed to go to the medical area.

It had a combat teaser video on the tail end of it though and I'm sure the same is true on PS3

Why do you think it's a problem? The physical positioning of buttons has the same layout, it makes sense in the same way. It's the same logic why Ico and SotC for example used triangle for jumping.Campster said:And yes, it seems sort of silly that the decisions were kept for the port, if only because you lose that immediate affordance of what each button does.
Could it be your TV scaler vs. X360's scaler (PS3 outputs in 720p, TV upscales to 1370x768 or 1900x1080). I'm asking because I'm pretty sure both versions are 720p with no AA. Or are there actual texture downgrades or other such problems?Fallout-NL said:I've downloaded and played the demo for a bit, and while it most certainly doesn't look bad or anything. It does have that grainy look most PS3 ports seem to have. It lacks a certain clarity, which the 360 version I played last year did have.

No PES09 and Bioshock demo here (Holland)

The port is great, it runs like the PC version at the best settings textures and shaders wise, of course you can have much higher resolutions on PC so it can look better, frame rate is solid. The game automatically outputs at 1080i on my PS3. You have to select true widescreen in the options to abilitate it.
Controls are comfortable and precise to me (and I usually hate fps on consoles for the lack of mouse and keyboard). So overall, I guess it's great, I've played the PC version but I'll definetly buy this
You should check and see if there's a trail behind you as you move through the water. It was one thing I noticed was added as an effect when using DX10 option for shaders in PC version.Elios83 said:Played a couple of times already.

Is there an option to turn off v-sync ??
there is no such thing as 'true widescreen'. bioshock was designed with a restrictive FOV on purpose. it was designed to be played in widescreen and was trailed and demoed in widescreen every step of the way. some people found it too restrictive which is fair enough. others, since the horizontal FOV was the same when running in 4:3 presumed it wasn't 'true widescreen' whatever that means. i guess harking back to when widescreen mode was often an afterthought and just lopped off the top and bottom of the screen.Fallout-NL said:I've downloaded and played the demo for a bit, and while it most certainly doesn't look bad or anything.

Just not as clean as the original.
There is a true widescreen option though, at least, you can unlock the horizontal FOV lock. And it looks like that gives you true widescreen.

that lod problem is more than likely standard UE streaming issues which you can find in most every UE game on current gen consoles.slider said:Had a quick go on my PS3. Couldn't be bothered doing a comparison to the 360 version (it means unplugging a few power cables).
It looks a little dated. And there seem to be a few issues of framerate. And on one occasion I noticed some overly aggressive LOD.
But, crucially, handles ok (I have no issues with the controls) and the engaging storyline, zmazing atmosphere and spot-on art direction are present and correct. If you haven't played it before those are the things that should be most important to you. The points in my 2nd paragraph aren't show stoppers.
If anyone's really really interested I can fire up the 360 version too. I'd rather not though.

slider said:Cool plagiarize. Consider my post as if made in a vacuum - like I said I didn't do a comparison to the 360.
As a final note, I've pre-ordered this sucker and have no regrets based on the demo.
Cheers.
Yeah, wanted to add that I don't remember doing much jumping when I played through last year on 360. There's really no need to jump best I recall. Sure there are times where you might want to jump down a flight of stairs rather than walking or running down them, something to that effect. But I don't remember jumping affecting combat at all.En-ou said:i dont think you guys need to worry much about triangle being jump. i'm in the middle of the second part (neptune something) and so far you hardly jump. just use it to climb over the odd obstacle here and there. you dont really jump in combat since your jump is pretty low.

Here's the difference I was talking about:Elios83 said:There's a white trail, the same you can see if you swim backwards, but I don't know if it's what you're referring to.
I see what you mean, yeah. But it's not a big deal at all. They should have included the option to swap trigger buttons though, I know a lot of people prefer R1 for shooting.Campster said:Well the triangle button makes sense, but you're losing the blue/red setup for the hypos.
It doesn't really matter; the control setup worked fine on the 360 and it'll work fine on the PS3.

in bioshock, it was designed to be widescreen and the 4:3 mode was an afterthought.
if you want to play it as the designers intended, leave the option alone. if you find it overly claustrophobic, then unlock the horizontal FOV. but don't unlock it because of how the 4:3 mode was implemented or because of some true widescreen bullshit.
bioshock is meant to be played at 16:9 with the FOV it has by default. they were kind enough to add the option for anyone that didn't like their decisions.

I know a huge deal was made out of the whole FOV issue last year, but the original FOV is how the game was intended to be played. I do feel that changing this detracts from the experience a bit and also reveals too much of the players hands (which look ugly, IMO). It was nice of them to allow people to use a greater FOV if they found the original too restrictive, but I believe people only made an issue out of this as a result of the 4:3 option offering more vertical image (which didn't look great at all). It isn't uncommon for the 4:3 option to display more of a scene this gen. Developers are designing games in 16:9 and the FOV is tailored to it. The 4:3 aspect ratio, when present, generally displays the game in a way the developer did not originally intend (but allowed for the sake of playing the game in full screen on a 4:3 display).
