Bioshock Infinite

[~~whimsy~~]

The trailer teased a return to the underwater failed Utopia of Rapture, first seen in 2007's BioShock. But last night, we saw BioShock Infinite in action, a live demo. This next big thing from Ken Levine's Irrational Games is something different.

This is the BioShock of a floating city, of America in 1912, of a helpful damsel in semi-distress and of something called the Skyline.

"The time for silence is over," said Ken Levine, creative director of Irrational Games to a room full of reporters at New York's Plaza Hotel on Wednesday night, seconds before the BioShock Infinite trailer began. We were a controlled audience, our laptops and cell phones confiscated before we entered a small ballroom and sat in front of the stage and screen from which Irrational would show its new project. The news vans outside the hotel had not been for BioShock Infinite but for controversial Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel, whose birthday party was one story above and whose House ethics investigation is ongoing.

Levine's team is one of the most acclaimed and secretive in game development. Since the '07 BioShock, which they made in partnership with 2K Australia, Irrational gave no hint about what they were working on, no clue that they were making another BioShock. They were not involved in this year's BioShock 2, which was created by several sister studios and was set in that undersea city of Rapture. But Irrational, which had, for a time, been known as 2K Boston, is indeed back on the franchise and allowed Wednesday night for their new trailer tease briefly that they were back on the virtual ocean floor.

For a while the game has been known about it seems. I just found out about this and being with Ken Levine that puts my hopes up for this one.

Thought I'd share this thread with the board.

That video kinda makes me interested in the Bioshock series now.

I'm not sure how this is going to work, but I'm definitely interested. They made Rapture pretty freaky at times, so I think they'll be able to make this new place work, especially if a part takes place at night in a thunderstorm.

i played the 1st one for about an hour. it took me forever to find it available to rent. because i didnt want to buy it and then not like it.
i liked it,no complaints,i just never followed up on it.
is this a game me (as a life-long gamer) should get and play?

 

[PlasmaTwa2]
