Bioshock takes to the skies in Bioshock Infinite
 

Even though 2 was a letdown, this trailer looks promising:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pV_TDxl2UIo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pV_TDxl2UIo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Edit: See post #7 for awesome gameplay video.

Can't really tell if a game will be good with a trailer like that actually.

The graphics are awesome though.

Well that looks bizarre.

Ken Levine is involved with this one, I expect it will be good.

Ken Levine has spoken a little bit about the game. He mentioned that it will explore the ideas of American exceptionalism, imperialism and Manifest Destiny.

Well, as long as we have the option to kill little girls is all that really matters.

Wow! Nearly 10 minutes, but absolutely amazing. For some reason the HD trailer is very stuttery for me, don't know if that will be the case for everyone though.

Holy shit!

Definitely.

That was awesome!

That pretty much sums up my reaction. Shame this game isn't coming till 2012.

My favorite thing is that it is all done in what I can see as being gameplay to be like. Sure, some of the scripted stuff might be be something I can do other than in a cutscene, but everything else seems to be something you can do while you are playing for yourself.

Too often game trailers are like a part of a movie loosely based on the game.

This footage was apparently playable behind closed doors at a press-only function in August. Just now being shown publicly.

earlier reviews is that the "playable" parts in the trailor isn't going to reflect the game. It is just show off grafix. It is really going to be a sidescroller much like the Genisis game Aladdin.

I couldn't get into Bioshock, but that looked pretty insane/awesome.

I disliked the second one so much that I never even finished it. I'll have to hear really good things about the new one.

damn

Hooooly shit......

Seriously. That's crazy. I can see why it got game of show.

I am huge fan of Bioshock series cant wait for this to come out

2nd one wasnt made by Irrational Games, it was made by 2K Marin. Tho some of the guys from Irrational were head of 2K Marin. lol It was one of them, lets just cash in on the Bioshock name. lol 3rd one will be great. They been working on that shit for a while now. I am sure since before B2 even came out.

I skipped out on the 2nd one cause all the bad shit I been hearing but might pick it up a used copy if i can find one somewhere

It wasnt as good as it should have been, but every gaming company puts out games to cash in on the name sometimes. We will always see that. lol

I can't wait to fire this up tonight. I've had it preloaded on my PC for a week now. It's go time.

Ive been playing it since yesterday evening...so far it has definitely lived up to the hype.

Heh I sent my wife to get it while I'm at work.

I have it for PC waiting for me tonight as well. I really really really really wish I could get off work early to play this shit. I haven't been as hyped for a game since Arkham City came out, and honestly, I might be more hyped for Bioshock Infinite than I was for that. Although Arkham City definitely was a 10/10 game for me.

I got to play a bit of Infinite on 360 on Saturday but it kept crashing on me. It was a burned copy lol. I had it preordered for PC, but damn it I was impatient. The 360 version looks like crap compared to what I've seen of it on PC. Not that I'm a big graphics whore, but god damn if I have the option, may as well play the much prettier PC version ya know?

It's not as good as the first one, but that was a damn masterpiece. It's still a good game though. I played it on 360 the first time. Definitely definitely better on PC, though it forces me to play with mouse/keyboard, whereas the first one on PC had gamepad support. Kinda weird that the 2nd one doesn't.

I thought the DLC "Minerva's Den" was really great DLC. It was possibly my favorite part of Bioshock 2.

There were some great deals to be had. I bought Infinite, Xcom, Shogun 2 TW, and Civ 5 for $60.

So you got infinite for $60 and the rest for free? Nice I suppose.

To all those that preordered and are still at work...

Installing!!!

:D

No need to be a dick!

Heh I will only get a chance to browse over it before heading to work, you guys have all night to play.. So meh.

It was terrible only one I tried of the series, downloading it now to see if I want it...

This game is ****ing amazing. I cant say its the "best game ever" because I always think that while Im in the middle of a great game but...its definitely right up there.

does PC have gamepad support?

Yes

Looks bad ass! I never played 2 either, because of the reviews, but I'm going to have to pick this up.

Kinda mad at myself cause I forgot to preorder Infinite but after buying The Show 13 gonna have to wait a month or 2

Installing now.

Bioshock 2 could've been better but my thought they should've atleast saved Andrew Ryan atleast for the second one it just felt like a spinoff

ok so this game looks kinda awesome

This is pretty ****ing cool. :thumb:

I'm in a gaming funk so I'll wait until the price drops start hitting later this year(since I forgot about this game and missed all the early order discounts). I've still got more than 5 games I haven't even finished yet anyway.

The game is fantastic. Looks absolutely gorgeous on PC.

This game is screenshot heaven:

I've still never played ANY of the Bioshock games.

Those screens are just gorgeous

Play the first one first. It's awesome. Skip the second.

So far this game is awesome, but I still think it's impossible for it to top the masterpiece that is Bioshock 1. I'm not that far though.

I have a copy of Bioshock (the first one)for Steam up for grabs. I already own it several times over so if anyone wants it, shoot me a PM.

EDIT: the code is spoken for

I loved the creepiness of it. Wandering around in a pitch black room, you turn around and barely make out the outline of somebody/something just standing there. Is it alive? Does it see me? Then it attacks. Playing that game at night in a dark room, I nearly jumped out of my chair a couple of times. Very effective.

Agreed. So far this new one doesn't have that type of creepiness factor. It's still great, don't get me wrong.

Also, anyone know shit about computers and graphic cards? I have a Nvidia GTX 560 that my brother gave me when he got a new one. It runs Infinite pretty well on "Very High" but it's a bit too choppy on "Ultra". What would be a good cheap upgrade for me?

Now there's a huge shock!!

A couple more hours in. Very fun, but intense. I actually needed a break.

I guess I'm getting old. :D

Not bad. But for as pretty and shiny as it is, I think the first one had more atmosphere....

Agreed.

The first game was scary as hell. It was also good enough (I don't play many games that take effort) I finished it.

For sure.

But it also had more fetch quests.

BE fair. I said a hell of a lot more than just that. Of those 5 games, 3 of them were purchased on launch.

Damn it you. Don't say things you aren't entirely sure of. Now, after last night I'm thinking it may be just as good and better in some ways.

OK finished it. Weird ass stupid ending. I'll give it 3 mehs and a grunt.

Just flipping some shit at your known frugality. It's all good :p

Yeah the ending is going to be very controversial. I personally didn't mind it. It wasn't a great ending, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game as a whole.

Agreed, I may have to watch it again so I can figure out exactly who was who and what is what...

I finished it tonight as well, was very short but good nonetheless.

Everytime I saw Comstock I thought of you. LMAO

Did you all like the ending? I thought about making a thread just for the ending and story spoilers, that way we don't have to cloak the shit out of all our messages here.

It was interesting, and a good story. I enjoyed the story in I Am Alive quite a bit more though.

None of the Bioshocks hold a candle to it's predecessors System Shock 1 & 2.

Have some friends in love with this series .. So I went ahead and ordered the bioshock 1 and 2 combo pack for $30.. Excited to get into it

You, I like you.

Had you been on Slickdeals.net, you could have gotten that pack for 5 bucks.

I still need to play the System Shock games. I actually didn't even play Bioshock 1 until it was shittily ported to PS3, which was the only console I owned at that time.

System shock 2 is a 14 year old game, so graphically it's dated. But the gameplay and immersion still top most recent games. I'm playing through Bioshock infinite now and it just feels like I'm going through the motions.

I introduced my son to system shock 2 a few months ago, so I just got through playing through it again. No comparison. I was totaly immersed once again in System Shock 2. It's a game that will have you on edge. The sound design, like all of the looking glass games, is incredible. You will have chills go down your spine quite often. You will probably shriek like a little girl on several occasions as well.

There was a patch that was released recently that makes it easy to install and play. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Absolutely I'll play it. I've seen it before. Yeah the graphics are outdated as hell, but I still play Atari and NES so that doesn't mean shit to me. In fact, we're slow at work today. I'm thinking about installing it right now lol.

Ugh shit. Oh well. I went into GameStop last week and they wanted $20 for a used copy of the original. After seeing that I jumped on the $30 deal

I was going to ask about that. Is this game anywhere near as creepy as Bioshock 1? It seems the setting doesn't lend itself to enforcing a sense of dread.
