A comparison Video between System Shock 2 and Bioshock, showing some of the similarities but I didn't have enough time to get all the similarities. enjoy.

That's two gameplay videos after another. How is that a comparison?
Kids these days don't get as bored as we used to...I tell ya.

Kolya you just hella old
DarkshadowX, it would probably be more effective if you showed specific comparisons rather than just stitching two gameplay vids together. Extra points for side-by-side. Granted it'd take longer but anything worth doing...

I would do Side By Side if only I knew how to do that in the video editor, however it's just a gameplay compairson.

I watched this the other day and was tempted to post, but each time my response came out more negative than I intended.
I agree with the split screen idea. I would also suggest that adding subtitles to show what you think are similarities would help. It seemed that it was up to the viewer to guess the similarities and although the camera hovered over certain things in SS2 meaningfully they weren't explored in Bioshock.
One of the problems with the video is that it's not actually clear who it's aimed at. People familiar with both games will probably already recognise and understand the similarities between the games. People who haven't played one or the other game won't understand what the QBRM machine is or what a Vita Chamber does.
I also couldn't quite understand some of the missed opportunities. The SS2 game shows a pistol being used throughout whereas the bioshock video shows the wrench with plasmids being used. Why not show SS2 with a similar setup to Bioshock?
Sorry - sounding negative again. If you'd just come clean in the first place and said you were bored and wanted an excuse to play SS2 and Bioshock again then it'd be easier to understand :).

Agreed. That was not a comparison video. If you're going to do a comparison video, show brief segments from both games one after another that are similar. For example, show the hacking in BioShock followed by the hacking in System Shock 2, and after that show, I don't know, the vending machines from BioShock and the replicators from System Shock 2. Those are comparisons. But good idea for a video, anyhow.

But see, the thing is - it's not.
