Is it wrong that this was one of the most interesting parts of the article for me?

I am saddened.
I'm not. The last thing I want in an FPS is fiddling with an inventory. One of the things that's kept me from SS2.

From what I've seen from stuff like System Shock 2 is that you have to delve into you inventory in the middle of combat, stopping your movement, and using things like hyposprays or equipping weapons. Looked like fail interface.
Exploder: I'd assume stuff like that are always-witnessed events of the story/setting. It is your own plane, if I read correctly.

Or, you could just use the keys 1 - ´ to equip weapons, and other shortcuts to use medkits / hypos.

What's so special about the inventory system, then? Aside from having to occasionally create a hidey-hole of stuff to come back around to later due to inventory overflow.
I thought they decided you wouldn't be able to kill the little sisters, only 'harvest' them somehow...

They die when you harvest them. What they meant was you can't just shoot them with a shotgun or something. That's partially because they kept dying in the crossfire and partially because they didn't want to be on Prime Time News Channels as "THE CHILD MURDER SIMULATION GAME."
I was 90% sure I was going to pick this up; after watching that new IGN video, I'm 110% sure. I'm really getting a Fallout vibe from this game for a lot of different reasons, like the art deco atmosphere, the collapse of the society, and some other stuff (watch the end of the video for instance), plus of course the System Shock 2 influences. I'm so pumped; everything about it looks like what I would have imagined in my wildest dreams. An awesome art deco atmosphere, crazy graphics with really cool water effects, interesting enemies and a super deep story with a cool Ayn Rand objectivist twist, killing children, etc.
I really need to stop reading these articles, they are startign to reveal more then I Really want to know before I start playign this game.

Yeah, same. Now that I'm 110% sure I'm buying it, I don't need any more hype. I'll just sit back and wit for the game to come out.

Meh, it'd boost sales and it'd be fun. There will be a mod for it anyway.
I'll miss the inventory, it kinda felt more immersing having to sort through your crap and drop the apple juice so you could hold the shotgun shells you just stumbled upon. It gave the game a definite survivor feel.

I want this game so badly. I better not need Vista to play it, though.

That's like saying that you want to move to Germany really bad, you just hope you don't need to learn French to understand everyone there.

I believe it will be for XP.
I bet my cat on it (the one with the hump).
Shadowrun, Halo 2, anything that wants to play online with 360.

Exactly. I wanted to check out the Shadowrun demo, but then I heard it was Vista only. And I'm trying to stay away from Vista as long as I can.

There's only three games that you can play online with 360 users on the PC. And none of them are interesting.

That's not my point.
But Irrational Games have nothing to do with Microsoft, so unless they are in some kind of contractual agreement with each other, releasing Bioshock on Vista only would be a bad move for them because they would lose out on probably more than 80% of their potential customers. That is, unless Bioshock is still a whole year away before being released - but I don't believe it is.
