2K Games’ response on the BioShock PC demo issue

BioShock - Image 1The demo for 2K Australia and 2K Boston‘s single-player FPS BioShock launched yesterday on Xbox Live and Xbox 360 owners had quite a blast sampling one of Microsoft‘s biggest up-and-coming guns.

This however, swung both ways as a good number of PC gamers cried foul about them not getting one as well.

Explaining their side, Irrational posted an official message, saying:

A BioShock PC Demo IS coming. We tried as hard as humanly possible to get it out to you guys simultaneously with the 360 demo, but we needed to make sure that it was perfect — that all drivers were ready, and that the game looked great on a huge variety of computers.

“Currently, the PC demo in its final stages of testing and approval,” adds the development team. “We are pushing to get it out to you as soon as possible. It will be out during the month of August, and everyone is working at full capacity to deliver it to you before the game hits store shelves on August 21st. “

More apologies were then offered along with assurances that it’ll be there and it will be worth the wait. We do hope that the PC demo falls into a date significantly earlier than the launch. It looks much too good to have anything mar its glory.
