BioShock Infinite's Latest Trailer Takes You on a Tour of the City in the Sky

I think I gave myself a mild aneurysm trying to keep track of all the symbolism in this trailer.

Wow this is the first thing I've watched related to this game since that initial trailer...they really did change Elizabeth's look to more closely mirror that cosplayer girl, didn't they?

Calling it now Father Comstock and Booker are alternate versions of one another and Booker has been running this mission on loop because of elizabeths powers or something like that

Either way I am HYPE

Highest rated shooter of all time? Bioshock was not a good shooter, if that is all it had then it wouldn't have been a good game. Half-Life is the greatest shooter of all time, maybe until Infinite, who knows, I just don't like that claim about Bioshock. I mean the story wasn't even good, the setting was, the story however was a System Shock 2 rip off.

Elizabeth certainly has better clothes now, but somehow her face looks more like a doll than human now. Her eyes are too big.

I actually feel weirdly disappointed when the trailer goes into full-on first person shooter gun-em-down mode, even though it looks outstanding. I think its because the "magic" of this game and its predecessor wasn't really in its combat, but rather its setting and themes.

Again, I'm not saying the combat is bad--it looks excellent. I think its sort of the Uncharted/Nathan Drake effect of having this developed character going through beautiful environments and literally murdering hundreds of people. It's a weird dissonance.

Really looking forward to this though.

This character is a former Pinkerton agent. He was throen out. You'd have to do some messed up stuff to get thrown out of the Pinkerton agency. I don't really see it as a disconnect.

Yeah. Plus the first Bioshock was pretty good about addressing video game conventions like that, so I'm sure it'll--or something like it--will be touched on.

Goddamnit, every time Booker gets angry (which I'm going to assume happens often) I'm only going to be able to hear Kanji Tatsumi. Having the same problem with Jake in Resident Evil 6.

Get bent, Troy Baker!

Same for me. Which inevitably leads to me thinking about the endurance run and Jeff and Vinny's impressions of Kanji.

I know I've turned the corner on the hype for Bioshock Infinite. I'm pretty much done with poignant trailers and soulful Elizabeth expressions.

Don't think I like her redesign, either. They made her less sexy, which I'm sure has some folks pleased, but they also made her more plain. She looks like she could be a background crowd NPC.

I still think giant text in trailers is dumb, it's an incredibly lazy and inelegant way of trying to convey information about the thing you've made. The game looks excellent though, I especially liked the little 1984 nod.

If anything, this trailer made me more interested in the game's story. Who wants Elizabeth? And who, or what, is she? Why can she create these rips in time? There's plenty here to be excited about, and plenty left to see.

I don't know. It seems really far fetched that people would try to create some sort of ultra-american utopia. No one could be that silly in real life.

Is that so? I guess you haven't been watching the news. Glenn Beck is also planning his own compound.

EDIT: I guess I should have clicked your link first. The Citadel sounds crazier than Beck's idea though.

When this comes out, I imagine a lot of people are going to be enormously disappointed and upset, because it doesn't reach the astronomically high ideas they'd set for it.

So I'm counting on it being alright, that way I can be pleasantly surprised if it's actually pretty cool.

Managing expectations is a very simple thing to do, but I imagine there will be hordes of ragers when this game doesn't get them laid, do their taxes, and dig up their grandfather to get at his gold teeth.

I think this game will:

  • Look amazing
  • Have a great story and characters
  • Build a great atmosphere
  • Have average combat (That's what I felt the combat was like in BIOSHOCK 1 + 2)

And that's all I am expecting. Anything else is a bonus.

Amazing. You never know until you know, but the story revealed so far is hitting even more of my buttons than the first Bioshock. Love it.

I hope this doesn't fall apart after the halfway point like BioShock did.
