Ken Levine Explains How "Tears" Will Work In Bioshock Infinite

cool

That's the worst deck I've ever read.

You broke my heart with Bioshock 1 Ken. YOU BROKE MY HEART!!

It was meant to be the ultimate FPS-RPG and it succeeded in doing neither particularly well.

I know it was you Ken..... I know it was you. But I'll give you once more chance, and you better not fuck up. 

P.S. I liked Bioshock 2... 

I fully expected to see a load of people crying when I opened this video up and wondered what would happen with the 'tears' 
 
total facepalm

Delicious tears.  
Oh you mean tears

I just want to watch Ken Levine talk all day. 

I could not be more excited for this game. Seriously, those guys are geniuses.

Holy... O_o;  I NEED THIS GAME NAO!

Im trying to avoid as much info on this game as possible. I want to be wow'ed like the original Bioshock.

HLARGBHALRGB This game.
 
I've reached the point where I know I shouldn't watch or read anything about it but I just can't let it be.

I forgot GB mentioned the tears and that seemed pretty interesting use of choice and creating cover but also a way to access time and place itself.

Oooh, cool, That's the 1980s thing they were talking about on the Bombcast

Ah. Scientist name dropping. I need this game!

WTF this game is still a year out right? 
  
They need to stop getting me so hype for the game so early.

It reminds me of Orihime's power in Bleach. The whole denial of reality concept. Different in how its implemented- but a similar character trait. 
Or it may just be that she wants to heal the horse.

Giant Bomb's video player saves my birthdate, so I don't have to enter it for every age check. 
 
Also, I can play the video full screen on my second monitor, and it won't disable full screen when I do stuff in other windows. 
 
You guys are the best.

so she can pull stuff from other realities?

Yup.

This game is mind-fucking me ear to ear and it's not even out yet.

Whoa!  The first showing of Revenge of the Jedi is at 9:30 in the morning?  That is crazy!

Revenge of the Jedi sounds like a pretty interesting movie.

Heisenburg?

Stay out of my territory, Levine.

Aww man, and I thought the Countdown To Tears was finally over.

Heisenburg?

Stay out of my territory, Levine.

Wow.

Oh wow...this game is gonna be awesome!

Accidentally put in wrong year, got "You're too young to watch this video. Go to church instead." I love GB.

That said, I am so so so psyched for Bioshock Infinite. SO PSYCHED.

Dare  I say it? This will be the game of the year 2012! 
There I said it!

Every time I see anything from this game I am in sheer awe. That horse thing? Stunning.

Aw Ken, really? Smugly dismissing the far superior sequel which took your heavy handed universe in an interesting exploration of parenting with a quick "original bioshock" quip? What a shame.

Truly, the ability to control a terrible "ghosting" story device overused since System Shock 2 demands our immediate attention and a game of the show award. WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE PLAYER? Antlions, a care package or a Gears of War wall?! The options truly are limitless in this fantastical land we must call "Game of E3 2011". Keep name dropping more scientists alongside your terrible one-note characters, Ken, I heard it gives insta-cred with folks who haven't cracked a book recently.

I can't wait for a hack game dev to come in to the podcast one day and say how much his relationship to big-breast token girl changed his views on love and marriage. Hrm, yase, then we too can enjoy a magical trip through their own misogynistic worldviews and the clucking of neckbeard tongues that agree. Hell, he's already echoing the shallow South Park perspective of "the truth is somewhere down the middle~~~" with an awful attempt to capture USA's resurgence of 1920s xenophobia.

Here's a simple challenge Irrational: Try telling a story without the ghosts, audiologs or cutscenes. I seriously doubt you have the chops for it anymore. In your defense, you're making a colorful universe that I can't wait to see the 2k devhouses make a real game out of.

Well, seems pretty much like a scant novelty game mechanic, to me.

*chin on fist* Tell me more Ken

Game designers should stop pretending they understand anything about science. The Bioshock and Assassin's Creed games are just embarrassing in their attempts to sound "scientific".

Wow, okay.. and wow again. It's time to stop watching anything related to this game until I've played through it.. no more spoilers for me.

at first, i was like "how is crying tears gonna help?" and then i see the video, "oh that tears"

can we please just get a video of the freaking demo being played?

I think i'm in love.. :) can't wait to experience the world.. looks so good!

Looks super polished.

I would pay a substantial amount of money to watch Ken Levine give a talk about how he comes up with ideas like this.

Holy hell. Does that billboard at the end say "Revenge of the Jedi"? I think it does. That's crazy!!!

Damn it! I was hoping for that entire sequence (Tears for Fears playing and all).

STOP MAKING ME ENTER MY AGE. THIS IS A GOOD WEBSITE

I keep telling myself that. It's not working.
