Bioshock pitch document

[Krynn72]

Irrational is releasing the document they used to pitch the game to publishers. Its awesome that they released this, you dont get to see this sort of stuff usually, and its really interesting to see how they pitched their ideas. I figured some of you lot might appreciate this.

Oh wow a lot changed didn't it.

 

[Sedako]

It sounded so much better before they changed it.

my comment is still there.

yeah, biocock sucks.

 

[StarBob]

So they essentially pitched System Shock 3 and made shit.

Don't get me wrong, the game's not terrible, but it's not System Shock... and it's not this pitch at al.

 

[Dekstar]

This pitch sounded pretty awesome, especially the environment modifications.

>implying that you could compare sales of a game released in 1994 with those of a game released in 2007
>implying that sales are an indication of quality
