*UPDATE* Peekaboo! BioShock goodies to hit Marketplace tonight (demo now available!)
News flash from Major Nelson: a launch trailer for BioShock will air tonight around 9:45 p.m. ET on Spike TV. It’s going to be aired during the show “The Kill Point”, after which, Geoff Keighley would be dropping in for a surprise announcement. Once the trailer gets aired on Spike, an HD version will hit the Marketplace soon after.
While the trailer is already enough to get some of us excited, Keighley’s “surprise announcement” is making droves and droves of people (myself included) hoping that it’s got something to do with a demo.
We previously reported of a supposed demo that USK had already rated, so maybe this could finally be it! Besides, the game is getting released in just a couple of days (August 21 in North America), so rolling out a demo between now and then couldn’t come at a better time.
Time to clear the decks for this one. Whether it really is a BioShock demo or not (hey, it could be dashboard theme or maybe a walkthrough video, but still…), you just might want to clean out
some stuff on your hard drive. Just in case.
And it has finally hit Live! Yep, go switch on your green machines pronto, cos BioShock‘s demo has finally landed (and that was really quick, too!). Currently, the QJ office is all abuzz with its arrival, and of course, we’re already downloading it ourselves. Apart from the demo, there’s also a trailer to look out for.
It’s size is approximated at about 1.35 gigs. Well, we do hope you heeded our humble advice about clearing up that hard drive! No doubt one of our zealous writers will have his hands on it soon, and with a quick impression on it shortly thereafter.
Thanks to all those who commented on it, and to Anees for tipping us on it!
