The future tech mixed with steampunk just doesn't work for me. It was ok in Bioshock, but the contrast here is just too poralized for me to tolerate long enough to get into the title.
 
edit: also, same old engine.song and dance.. different year. No thanks.

Great video and all, but I think it's time for me to go into media blackout mode with regards to Bioshock Infinite.

I find it wierd that Irrational are releasing details of the story now in Summer 2011 for a game thats most likely gonna see the light of day in Holiday 2012??
 
This feels like a video we should be seeing a year from now, far to early for stuff like this.....plus I don't think many people need convincing that  this is gonna be hella awesome.
 
Blackout from now.....

It's nice to see a game with an interesting creative vision, even if it might be 'just another -shock game'.

I want to see the the E3 demo that was behind closed doors. I will never understand the logic of showing a game only to the press, shouldn't they be trying their best to impress us the gamers.

I hate the name "Vox Populi".   It just strikes me as such a cliche.

i guess it has to with their plan to increase hype?  i dont know, maybe the closed door trailer is getting more people more excited than they would have been if those people watched the trailer

I still need to Finish off the first one and buy the second! Actually, a quick question for someone, on Bioshock, how far through the game would you be after you (I don't want to spoil to much) meet up with Andrew Ryan?

This actually looks like it could be BETTER than BioShock.

Hmm... I am still not digging this game, even though i feel like i should. The gameplay looks great, but the story so far doesn't excite me. I was kind of hoping that this video would show that there were numerous (well, more than 2, maybe something along the lines of what Fallout:NV had) factions fighting it out in the city... but it seems to be a standard video game civil war situation which both sides being 'bad' to the player.

Really loving a lot of the sound design in this game as well. Starting to get to that place where I think I might go dark on all these videos just like I did with Mass Effect 2.
