E3 2011: Bioshock: Infinite Skyline Trailer

Ehh, these skylines seem like they're getting more hype than they deserve. I'm loving the art style in this game though.

Looking great, I hope they make a demo like they did for Bioshock.

I don't know if this game will be any good, but I truly appreciate the attention to detail Ken and his team have put into the backstory.

Is it wrong that my favourite thing about this game is Elizabeth?

Why don't they make real roller coasters like?

Bioshock: Infinite sure as hell looks promising.

Aw man where's the demo!!!!

i cant wait to see the full demo... i hope we get to see the full demo

I was actually shouting "Oh fuck!" at the screen when watching this! It looks soooooo amazing!!

Damn, it's pretty telling that even just watching a short video when he basically fell to catch the skyline at the end I felt a sense of dread because of the rate at which you were falling and the insanity of both the angle of the jump and the other skyline.

What looks awesome about the skyline system is that it looks like there's definitely room for people to really master it and pool off some crazy stunts.

holy crap, that view of the city at 2:19!

You know, one thing I think is neat about Infinite is how damn colorful it is. A lot more that most games, especially shooters these days. Also, digging that background music they used here. Hope that's representative of what's in the game.

Wasn't that skyrail system in Metroid Prime 3's Skytown?

I'm really glad they had a fictional backstory justification for this retardedly dangerous transportation system.

hmm...
What's up with the "ghost" carriage at 00:47?
Class C bug!
; )

Reminds me of Giant Bomb's first reaction to the Bioshock Infinite announcement and joking about continued Ayn Rand references.

Vinny: (Imitating Booker DeWitt) "I'm going to take on this world on my own. Take me to the skies, where I'll build my kingdom."

Jeff: "My sky train!"

Vinny: "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, I say! To the sky!" That's the intro, I don't know if you guys saw it ...

hmm... What's up with the "ghost" carriage at 00:46? Class D bug!

The jumping from one track to another gave me such a boner.

That's not a bug. It ties in with Elizabeth's powers.

It looks great, but those random guys shooting rockets at you from left and right kind of took me out of the immersion... It was like "Okay, this is a video game alright" and "These encounters will probably not be very dynamic and just happen over and over again as soon as you start hitting the rails"

It must be all that Infamous 2 I've been playing the last few days.

Still, I'm really looking forward to the game.

Nope. I'm interested in the game primarily because of her.

This is looking more interesting than Bioshock 2. I really want Ken Levine to do something new though, his creativity needs to be unleashed!

It was a closed demo, and they weren't allowing any filming. The host even made a joke during my screening about how awkward it would be to have to escort someone out mid-demo.

No, that makes you a normal person.

Skyline would be a much better subtitle for this game. Or just title.

Skyshock 
 
People who noticed the similarity to Skyrail in Metroid Prime 3 are perceptive. 

this is what a next level video game looks like

Do we have a video of the phased movie theater that Jeff's been raving about?

i did remember Ken saying On G4 they will be showing more of it next week. so maybe then?

never liked the original bioshock. this looks awesome though.

Wait...is this game open world?

I don't know if this game will be any good, but I truly appreciate the attention to detail Ken and his team have put into the backstory.

This looks like a baby's game compared to System Shock2.

Sold.

I wonder when we'll be able to see that demo they were showing at E3.

@Franstone: It's a carriage Elizabeth can phase into the world. :D

@Jackel2072: Levine said it's coming next week, the only thing I have really wanted to see this E3. Looks so good!

Looks incredibly absorbing. There's something about the sense of speed you get in first person that just draws me in.

2012 can't come soon enough

Yeah, floating sky cities with roller coaster-like transportation solutions and girls that can phase objects in and out of reality are so cliched.
