Default BioShock Infinite



Irrational Games, the creators of BioShock 1, have announced their next project: BioShock Infinite. It is set in 1912, before the events of the first game and takes place in a city IN THE SKY.

IGN has a teaser, screenshots and impressions from an eyes-on demo given by Ken Levine.

http://pc.ign.com/articles/111/1111864p1.html

It is scheduled for a 2012 release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.




I personally had no interest in BioShock 2 as there did not seem to be any artistic justification for the game when the original team moved on. But since this IS the original team, sign me up.

Damnit, I was just about to make the thread for this. xD

Anyway, I can't wait. Irrational Games is back making it, so I know it will be just as good as the first game.

Here's the synopsis from the game's site:

Quote:
Synopsis

BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky.

Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities.
I am so pumped!

Is it bad that I wish the second game never happened and that this was BS2? :/

Nope, because I felt the second game was a complete waste of time. As much as I loved Rapture, I do think it was best left to the first one. This would have been a way better sequel than the one we got. Oh well, now we have this and I am pumped!

Is #2 really that bad? I just got it pretty cheap... didn't buy it right away 'cause I had too many other games to play.

Great news Bioshock Infinite looks great.

Bioshock is one of my favourite series both 1 and 2 are absolutely amazing and have their own personality and mystique.

I played number 2 before number one and I honestly can't make up my mind as to which one I liked better so good!
