GO away sequels, please just go away....Can I get a new ip 
 
Yes I know this is Bioshock 2.5...and why does Levine sound so confused about his own game/idea behind this game...maybe just coy..
 It sounds like they are trying to pass on the Bioshock name to please the"bosses" but really wanna do something different...We will see.

Ken Levine is an intelligent, funny dude. Great interview Jeff.

Stop drinking Guinness and watch the 10-minute gameplay trailer. This is FAR from Bioshock 2.5.

I pretty much have these same thoughts.
 
It's unfortunate that in this day and age, it's incredibly risky to try anything with a new name and have it become successful.
 
Slapping Bioshock on the title will do nothing more than push copies, but if that means more games from Ken Levine, then it's all good.

'grounded' is the last word I would use about Colombia if you know what I'm sayiinnnnnnnng
 
Also, who's the angry looking dude behind Jeff?
 
EDIT: Okay, he got introduced. I should stop commenting mid-video

God. Could you get a less drunk camera guy next time...seriously, wtf?! Were you going for a blair witch theme with the cinematography?

Let's see, how many Ken Levine Kool-Aid drinkers there are on this site...

Really good interview. This is the sort of informative, intellectual content I enjoy from Giant Bomb, in between the funnys of course!
