Title: Bioshock: Infinite
Post by: Hnilmik on August 13, 2010 12:39 AM
I wanted to embed the trailer, but it won't let me/I couldn't figure out how.

A bunch of articles about it.

I'm still reading everything, but my initial thoughts are:
QuoteI love how AMERICAN it is! Like, romanticized-whoa America--Wild west, roaring 20's, CRAZY/FRIGHTENINGLY patriotic stuff that only comes to mind when you think of America when it was cool/interesting. AND STEAM PUNK.

It feels MILDLY "What next, space?", a la shark jumping, but at the same time, what Bioshock is about, the whole feel and atmosphere of a romanticized utopia gone wrong/dystopia + "WHERE THE FUCK AM I" is still there~ Gonna find out what else they're "keeping" that makes Bioshock Bioshock, since the setting changed.

I like the look of it, I wasn't too excited about Bioshock 2 cause it was really unneeded, but I already want to play this cause like the woman and the roses, and the big roboty thing! So many mysteries, and I love the super different setting.

Nope. Totally forgot that Bioshock is like the "spiritual successor" or such-like.

Unreal Engine 3 games have pretty modest requirements. Your computer will probably be able to run it by the time it comes out in 201[size=]2[/size].

never mind, it uses an entirely new engine apparently.

There are so much things about that gameplay that have me intrigued.
I've watched it like 4 times now and i have to say it looks completly fucking awesome and crazy.
But there are a lot of things that don't really make a lot of sense I mean the setting doesn't bother me at all, I love how they took a direction nobody was expectingand but this IS a bioshock game so it has to be tied to the other bioshock but then you see all this technology that's actually more advanced than what we see in bioshock 1 but this game is supposed to be set 40 years prior to bioshock 1, and where do they get the magic powers? from what I saw they are practically the same as the ones in the other games, how will they explain them? Also I don't like that they gave voice to the protagonist.
Maybe I'm just overthinking all of this, I just hope the interesting and creepy atmosphere  that was my favorite part from the original Bioshock translate well into this setting.

I tried sharing a video by this same guy in the same 'literal' scheme about 4-5 days ago, only of Assassins Creed Brotherhood, except nobody would have any of it. Hes done the Halo: Reach trailers, Assassins Creed, this game, and a few others.

But back on topic.

It looks like a good game although I can't quite figure out why it takes place in the sky. Interesting change of scenery though, that should allow fora lot of new stuff. I can't help but think back to the first bioshock and think maybe this has to do with him being on that plane in the beginning...
