Bioshock: Infinite unveiled!

[hermes]

The same as Final Fantasy, or Tales of... Bioshock is like a brand.

Actually, you said "they made Rapture out of it".
Besides, they are different things: Rapture is a shelter, Columbia is a death star...

Anyway, we are still 2 years off the release and the game has just been revealed. Still too early to see if they are part of the same universe.

Yes, OUT OF IT. Not from it. There's a difference.
After a thing like that crashes, there wouldn't be a lot left.
He used what was left as a basis.

And they must be in the same universe.
It's called Bioshock.

Bioshock + Steampunk = My hopes and dreams.

From the depths of the sea to .........a flying city?

Is the Bioshock franchise really grasping at straws already?

So your willing to accept an underwater city, but a city in the clouds, now that's just too much?

Anyways, it looks good. I look forward to what they do with the unique setting and where the story goes. However I do have 2 concerns:

1 - That new Big Daddy has a human heart in him. I really hope they don't pull some BS where a older character like Andrew Ryan has been rebuilt as a big daddy that would just be lame.

2 - The synopsis on the site says the game will involve saving a little girl from the city and forming a bond with her....sounds a bit too much like Bioshock 2's story to me.

I look forward to this game and seeing more footage of it.

You know, I've seen you post this theory a couple of times, and I misunderstood it every single time until now... I thought you were trying to say that Andrew simply modified a sunken Columbia into Rapture, and as you say quite clearly here, that is a pretty silly idea since Columbia would be pretty smashed up. So... Now I'm confused, because there are two theories I consider plausible...

1. Andrew Ryan did not base Rapture out of the remnants of Columbia, because Columbia represented the very pillar of nationalistic pride and greed, something he built Rapture to get away from

or

2. Andrew Ryan built Rapture out of the remnants of a crashed Columbia due to the symbolism of the "downfall of decadence" that could be interpreted from Columbia crashing, and he could use that as a basis for founding a society that would be the opposite.

 

[Dr.Acula]

What I don't get is how they will, introduce the "plasmid" powers when Adam wasn't around back then, yet alone in reach. But the mechanic powers don't seem fitting for a BIOshock game.

I'm thinking more like "America couldn't get this city to work! I'll one up them by making it work UNDER WATER".

Or something.

Hell yeah. I can totally see Andrew Ryan being nothing more than a petty "one-upper". That must be how his beef with Fontaine started in beginning as well!

I can't see how you can you such definitive language here, especially seeing as you're going on conjecture based on not very much at all. Nobody can prove anything, and past idle musing it's not all that worth getting this deep into it for now. Let's just enjoy the trailer.

 

[RobfromtheGulag]

I'm really glad they're at least leaving the story of the 1st (and consequently 2nd) games alone and taking that part in a new direction. It screams 'cash cow' a little less loudly.

 

[HTID Raver]

WOW! first i play the mafia 2 demo now this!!!!!!!


im completely hyped for this! looks awesome!

Looks nice and interesting...

However, the dumbed down gameplay in both Bioshocks, as opposed to System Shock/2, pisse dme off so much that both games lie around unfinished. I'm awaiting the gameplay. Setting is cool. Freaking unbelievable, but hey.. looks cool. What matters more.

To be honest I'd personally say that an underwater city is more belivable than a floating skyscraper, but that's just me. Probably won't put me off buying it when it's released.

I also don't think that an older character will be brought back, BS was set in 50's if I remember, and there's a statue in the trailer for infinite that says 1892 (or close to it), whether that's just a statue or when the game is set, only time will tell

Well, on the website and in an interview they say Bioshock: Infinite is set in 1912.

she isnt a little girl anymore. it said she was imprisoned since she was a little girl, she is fully grown now. Also she has telekenisis so thats new. (didnt play B2 but I assume the little girl didn't have telekenisis.)

 

[CNKFan]

Dunno. Dosnt look to bad. It is cool that it is a retro cloud city. I hope that Billy Dee Williams does the voice for the leader of the city.

 

[The_Echo]

I think I want to play this game already. Apparently Infinite doesn't have much to do with the story of the first two games, but it's got to have some kind of link, or it wouldn't be a BioShock game. That's where my interest is as far as the story goes. I really want to know how it ties in. Maybe Ryan got the idea of a secluded city from Columbia? Maybe Ryan was a citizen of Columbia? Maybe this sets up a bigger entity that's been working in the background the entire time? I wanna know! DX

1 - That new Big Daddy has a human heart in him. I really hope they don't pull some BS where a older character like Andrew Ryan has been rebuilt as a big daddy that would just be lame.

It's a prequel, there will be no revivals of older characters. And something tells me it isn't a "Big Daddy" kind of villain. It seems like there might only be that one, in which case it might be a major villain in the game, as opposed to the 'basic enemy' flavor that Big Daddies tend to be coated with.

 

[DarkRyter]

Bioshock?

Instead of making this a sequel, why not just make it an original IP. It certainly looks different enough.

Like, Sky-o-shock. Get it? Because its in the sky? I'm so damn clever, it's criminal.
