Anyway, this thread is a bit tl;dr.

So, Bioshock Shakalaka will be out in stores tomorrow (US - today?) or in four days in Europe... meanwhile, those of you who have powerful rigs, d/l the demo and tell us if its worth an hardware upgrade, etc.

Demo here(link anonymized).

Because getting demos is highly fucking illegal.

I am not getting the demo, it's 2GB in size - are you fucking kidding? I'll wait four days and get the full version(Which will be ~3,5 probably). Seriously, what's the point.

It's 5GB from Steam. The retail will be packed.

ah, I came to share the demo link but you ladies already have it! <3

note: AA doesn't seem to be working.
speculation: this could be why they were waiting for the nvidia/ati drivers to release.

The reason for it being on Piratebay is that apparently, Irrational released it on Fileplanet today, but locked it somehow to prohibit people from playing it today (wtf?).

The demo should have been unlocked tomorrow, but some clever pirate made a workaround for the "timelock" and Irrational told Fileplanet to pull it off their server before too many people got a hold of it and actually played(!!) it!
Many people got pissed because some of them actually payed some sort of subscription fee to be able to d/l it from FP, in the first place. Ridiculous.

Now, the people who d/led it in time before it was deleted are sharing it with the rest of us.

Anyway, Irrational/2k lost. Pirates win.

Also, with the release of the game on the horison, Ken Levine reached out to the communities and asked the people who play the game not to spoil it for the others in unmarked threads, etc... How Hary Potter of him:

Please don't ruin other people's experience by revealing secrets in unmarked threads, and if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest, stay away from any threads that might ruin the fun for you. With a game like BioShock, it will really make a difference.

Best,
Ken

I already know major endgame spoiler. Thank you /v/!

Then again, I knew these dicks will throw them around, I mean it's fucking /v/ after all, so I have only myself to blame really.

they were holding for the ATI/nVidia drivers. It's fileplanet's fuck up really not IG's but yeah, the whole thing has been mishandled in what was otherwise a pretty smooth/efficient hype campaign.
