Very interesting that they are not using any code from the previous 2 Bishock games. Also it is using the Unreal 3 engine but they are writing their own code also.

looks promising. Loved the first Bioshock!

[Komag]

I liked the first game, but I had to work very hard to overcome suspension of disbelief at an under-ocean city. I don't think I'm capable of doing that for a floating one

[SneaksieDave]

What has begun?

[Melan]

I could suspend my disbelief about the whole floating city premise, but everything reported about the demo shown to the press points to a game experience that hinges even more on set-piece encounters than Bioshock. Since those always take a lot of resources to code, we can most likely also expect a game that's very short and very linear. Maybe the themes and graphical candy will still be worth it enough to check it out. But expecting anything that'd compare to the classical "immersive sims" is over-optimistic.

[stumpy]

the floating city looks more like a dream sequence.

[HappyCheeze]

Reminds me of something out of Jules Verne's world

[Mr Lemony Fresh]

The millions of tons of concrete, and heavy building materials various others are a little far fetched. It would have been more believable if it was made from more wood, steal, and other such lighter metalials.

 

But who cares, it's Bioshock, I can't wait Specially to see how they've done all the art and effects.

[Diego]

I wonder if they can achieve the same gloominess of the first one. They went from the deep ocean to clouds, after all!

[stumpy]

maybe its made from plastickconcrete and transparent aluminum. although buckyball steel is very light compared to normal steel, and materails like carbon fibres and resin is very light as well. although if you stick something in geostatic-orbit and hang stuff off it like buildings the rotation of the earth trying to fling the thing in orbit out into space and things dangling off it into the earths atmosphere would balance out and they would stay where they are. eg like a space elevator.

[Unstoppable]

Well I can understand it wanting to be made out of something believable but it's a videogame. The first one had you injecting yourself with all kinds of altering plasmids and what not . I don't even think I could inject myself only if it was life and death.

[demagogue]

Off-shore oil rigs are massive, 50-odd story structures, heavy, all steel & concrete, and floating. And air-craft carriers are essentially floating cities. You can float anything as long as you displace enough water. So I don't find it beyond the realm of imaginable at all; just very expensive and of questionable utility.

 

Edit: lol, obviously written before I saw the video.

Ok, so ... change that to "you can float anything as long as you displace enough air."

That's going to take a lot of hot air, though.

 

Edit2: BTW, this reminds me of a special on the Science channel about colonizing other planets. The punchline was we could actually have a colony on Venus where the temperature & air-pressure is sustainable for humans ... if it's floating about 20 miles above the surface. Then it went on to describe how creating such a floating city might work.

[Unstoppable]

So 10 minutes of Bioshock Infinite gameplay are now available. Question is why should you give a flying 2 cents for this game.

 

Well have a look at the first 20 seconds. Recognize that voice? What about before the voice what looks to be some similar use of cut scene from some other game people on here cherish.

Well in case you didn't know the cut scene is eerily similar to that of the Thief games. Even more creepy is the fact that the voice actor is Garett himself. Steven Russel appears to be the main actor in Bioshock Infinite.

 

Please insert your credit card, cash, or hell just give them your wallet at the nearest local store for your pre order. I just got owned by Irrational games.

[demagogue]

It's got ambition, I'll give it that. (,")-b

Also happy to see more in-game storytelling.

I like that kind of thing, anyway.

[plasticman]

It really looks impressive. I think I just fell in love with the art style.

 

Too bad there's so much scripted stuff and it's a shooter.

[LEGION]

Yeah, but it makes me also think: "If you don´t know where to go or what to do you gonna die a thousand deaths, because there is no time to breathe..."

Also I don´t like how the girl, Elisabeth, looks. Her art-style I mean.

10 Minutes of Bioshock Infinite Footage

 

Looks ... interesting. Maybe not my cup of tea, given what looks like an insane amount of scripting, but it would be worth at least one playthrough.

Edited September 22, 2010 by Stormbringer951

[stumpy]

10 of gameplay, but what is known from the likes of bioshock is that pre release gameplay usually doesn't end up in the game at the end, so maybe we should take this as a tech demo showing the best of the best from the game thats is planned.

[Unstoppable]

Game comes out in 2012 so lot of things will get done before then. You can tell the reload animations need work.

[Tudor]

I don't like her art style very much either, I thought game designers were past the revealing outfits.

[LEGION]

Well, I was more referring to her face. But yeah, with her outfit she reminds me of a Japanese manga.

[Komag]

Very cool about Stephen Russel, wow!

[Unstoppable]

44 minute interview with Ken Levine, ownage!

[Melan]

The gameplay trailer is just awesome. Will it be a good game? Dunno. But at least it looks cool as an interactive movie.

 

Girl could be a bit flatter, though, strange as that may sound.

[STiFU]

I can't believe nobody said a word around the forums how amazing this game looks. The art direction is the best I have ever seen in a game until now. The levels are very dynamic and feel vivid. Aside from that, the game also has a great atmosphere and voice acting, and it is actually quite long, considering it's a shooter. I haven't finished it completely yet, but I got quite a few hours out of the game so far. I highly recommend this game!!
