Ten Minutes of BioShock Infinite

I am tempted to buy a giantbomb membership just to see this in HD!!

Holy shit, this looks awesome!

Can't fucking wait...

Is this the new BioShock Wii game?

It looks alright, but I can shake the feeling that this would be a more interesting game if there would be less focus on (scripted) combat and more focus on free form exploration (Metroid Prime style).

:D

" looks very scripted, makes me wonder if this video isn't "gameplay" that we will actually see in the final version, rather a nice way of showing off a lot of the game's elements in the game engine.  either way looks really cool, can't wait  "

Holy shit...Must-buy.

Awesome.

" Was Shawn Elliott promoted to level designer by the time this "level" was created?

This looks fucking awesome. The setting is just amazing.

I'm finally actually interested in bioshock 

Is that actual gameplay? Looks very scripted.

" I should probably play the first BioShock... This looks goddamn amazing. "

I had the same feeling watching this demo as I did playing through the original Bioshock, and that's a feeling I thought I wouldn't get from another game for a long time, let alone from the same guys. Games like these are usually few and far between, and I didn't think the lightning would strike twice, but they have definitely managed to make me want to know about the world and story, and it's pretty clear they have some crazy ideas for the gameplay. I'm way more interested in this now, I just hope the Bioshock branding doesn't hinder the team's vision for Infinite.

" Ok, this is a nitpick and I'm not saying the game won't be great, but can anyone look at that floating building and think for a second that it wouldn't fall like a rock?  Have you seen a hot air balloon?  The bag part which provides lift has to have WAY more volume than the basket it's actually lifting.  Those 4 measly little blimp things holding up that giant building is exactly as crazy as if Rapture had screen doors. Not even touching on the fact that it's obviously top heavy. Definitely more form than function in this game's design, not that that's a horrible thing. Just makes me laugh. "

Considering their attention to detail and the pretty good physics seen in the demo, it wouldn't surprise me if they had some sort of contrivance to explain the smaller balloons holding up entire buildings (or even city blocks?) These folks living there certainly aren't your cut-and-dry Americans.

Down that same vein, I remember similar thoughts in Bioshock 1, though I'm at a loss for specific examples. I do remember thinking that some things I saw would be impossible at that depth, and the pressure would probably do some terrible things to the human body.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Looks far too scripted to be gameplay, really. Even if you ARE playing it live, it'd probably just feel like a really long interactive cutscene.  
Apart from that and a few graphical glitches, this game looks like it's gonna be pretty sweet.

Video games are amazing.

This is just breathtaking.

Gameplay, my ass.

This is now the game I want play most!

Alright. I'm back in.

please rename this video title to 10 minutes of awesome. 

I should probably play the first BioShock...
This looks goddamn amazing.

excellent, i can finally get the proper HD version of this now :D

This will be the greatest game ever made.

When I first saw it, I thought the whole thing was scripted. On the Bombcast, Jeff mentions that it was being controlled live while he watched it.  
 
So, apologies for my cynicism. 
This now looks like the coolest thing ever.

yo how about a horse MADE of armor? 

This looks amazing! Cant' wait till it comes out.

Infinite! 
 
Looks awesome too. This has to be a build they put together just for this showing, so I am really excited to see more of this.
 
Bees got nothin' on crows.

Combat looks kinda meh but man does it look pretty

Yep, looks amazing. Hands down.

It looks very shiny
