[QUOTE="blue-fish"][QUOTE="Terami"]I would not say it refined game play but I would say it refined how we experience a FPS.Soul_to_Squeeze
I'd absolutely agree on that. However, I don't think there is any great leap left in FPS's outside of the experience around it. There are tweaks and improvements that could have been made to Bioshock but I feel in terms of it as a complete world with a story, it succeeded better then any FPS before it. It rivaled games like Oblivion in terms of a 'game world' that felt complete and a joy to live inside of. So in a short answer, I'd have to say yes: it did redefine FPS's. Only because when I play the next great FPS, I'll only think of how flat and generic it might be in comparison.
well put, the world of rapture is so immersive. it just sucks u right in. its really cool to the point u almost could believe it was a real place.
The word your looking for is ambience. This game bleeds ambience. The attention to artistic detail is amazing. Bioshock redefined the FPS genre because of this. I was shocked by the depth and scale of this game. It was almost never ending.
