Anyone who knows more about Bioshock than me: Will I be able to enjoy this with no prior knowledge of 1 or 2?

I'm Sure. Its in no way a "sequel" or something....a spiritual successor if anything. if its good, you don't need to know the story.

Fucking holy WOW jeez! That looks...AWESOME. 
Also, to paraphrase Tycho of Penny-Arcade: "the deification of our nation's leaders is something that should stir up a lot of mainstream controversy, except since it has nothing to do with tits, they won't care." Still VERY interested in seeing where they go with it.

REALLY!? 
 
Subtle like hammer, Levine.  I especially loved the "For Faith.  For Race.  For Fatherland," bit.  Very cute touch, not a crude attempt at getting a point across at all. </sarcasm>
 
Oh, and that looks not real at all.  It's an obvious CGI-rendered movie. "

Yeah, I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few CGI-rendered movies in my time.

So, will the entire game be a string of scripted sequences?


Not that the game doesn't look alright.  Great visual style and setting of course and all that jazz.  Gameplay will likely be as mediocre as Bioshock's was.


Ah well, might be a good rental just for the story.

That wouldn't bother me. I had a ton of fun with MW2's single-player

I know what I'm about to say is mad nerdy but Poplar, the font they use for the posters and signs here ("PATRIOTS!" et al), wasn't created until 1990.
 
I know, I'm such a design geek. Sorry.
 
Still very keen on this game, though!

Yeah, exactly.  Remember when the 360 launched?  Those videos for Madden 06 and CoD2 that were passed off as actual gameplay, even though they were CGI?  I saw this video and IMMEDIATELY saw it.

Too bad they couldn't call this Bioshock 2. Feels like the rightful follow up, doesn't it?

Watching this again to refresh myself with the video, and damn, that non-scripted player acting is fantastic.

It's really cool looking back on this old video now that I've played the final version. Seeing just how they fleshed out certain concepts and which ones didn't make the cut.

@amir90: I really think the proper way to phrase that is that they've really changed a lot about the game. To say they've removed a lot is a bit negative considering I'm sure whatever they removed during their 6 years of iterating on Infinite was replaced for the right reasons, e.g. that it made for a better game.

Oh! Also funny note, that's Everybody Wants To Rule The World playing on the Radio there! Ha! I wonder if anyone picked up on that back in 2010.

You are correct, I wish they kept telekineses vigor, looked a lot more fun than the telekinesis from bioshock 1 and 2.

Hmm the telekinesis vigor looks like the most major change they've made since this game-play video. Some very specific things, like the lady brooming the fiery shop are still in the game though. Its understandable that the combat never got to the level it is in this video (for example the sniper/cannon sequence spanning an insane distance), but it would have been neat. The rain part was probably the coolest though.
