Remember how Elizabeth Tobey for 2K Games said they’d have word on BioShock’s PC demo today? Well, they do, but it isn’t something you might particularly like to hear, especially if you are a hardcore PC gamer that’s still waiting for the demo. In a message posted at the Cult of Rapture website earlier today, 2kbeth had this to say, probably after dozens of threats from the TTLG and Cult of Rapture forum members. Looks like she’s now able to handle the crowd well enough now, after first having gotten into trouble at the forum for a Q&A SNAFU on the PC port on the game a couple of months ago. Wonder what will happen to her when the PC guys find out that after months of screaming, the game’s UI still feels very console-ish.

After the appearance of the BioShock Demo on Xbox 360™ last night, I’m sure many of you PC fans wondered, “What about us?”

Here’s the deal.

A BioShock PC Demo IS coming. We tried as hard as humanly possible to get it out to you guys simultaneously with the 360 demo, but we needed to make sure that it was perfect — that all drivers were ready, and that the game looked great on a huge variety of computers.

Currently, the PC demo in its final stages of testing and approval. We are pushing to get it out to you as soon as possible. It will be out during the month of August, and everyone is working at full capacity to deliver it to you before the game hits store shelves on August 21st. I will also let you know as soon as I have an exact date for the demo’s release, so please stay tuned.

I cannot express enough how sorry I am for the wait. Thank you for understanding and your patience. Just remember — only eight days left till you get your hands on the full game.

I’ll let you know where to get the demo as soon as it becomes available.

OK, so it looks like the demo should be made available before the game releases eight days from now. Or you could just skip the download and get your copy of the game as soon as it hits the shelves. But remember, this one needs activating your copy of the game online. I just hope and pray Steam is involved somewhere in this activation process, since I don’t trust the other services, plus, 2K Games and Prey already enjoy a good rapport with Steam.
