This is going to be so massively great! Love when they use a song with lyrics for the game trailer like Gears Of War and Rage also did.

Looks like they made her "proportions" a bit more realistic, good change.

After the gameplay stuff from E3, this was kind of a let down. Would probably have been more effective if it was a teaser earlier in the year.

There are few games that I'd ever call special, but this looks like something that will be worthy of such praise. This is the game to be excited for next year.

That version of the song's lyrics are ... oddly... abridged.

I was going to remark on the same thing, but to say that it's a shame they bowed to the pressure.

While there is basically no new footage in this trailer, I still want this game very, very much.

I could've sworn this was out already, I guess that shows how little I've been keeping up with video games these days. For example, I just realized yesterday that Arkham City came out around 2 months ago...

This game is looking pretty awesome though.

I really like the song. I just feel like it was out of context in this footage. Its true that other big projects- Gears of War being the most obvious have used the low music over a more action oriented game- but the sound mix doesn't seem quite right. Another example- maybe more similar in overall tone of game- is the Fallout series- with their bouncy classic 40s-50s tunes- over the gradually building grim backgrounds. This song doesn't seem to quite fit that either.

Perhaps it could have been put over a more footage such as the image of her putting the flower in the hands of the dead man. Its a bit difficult to sympathize with most of the characters shown in the Bioshock series- as they've often caused their own demise. I'm more interested in Infinite than the original Bioshock since it seems to have more potential for characters that you can empathize/support. The lack of truly innocent victims in games- that you care about - would be a worthwhile field to work on.

Still a big fan of the project- but this was mostly mediocre footage that matched up with or seems to have come from old footage.

I think it's a great decision. That amazing 15 minute preview they showed was chockful of mindblowing moments, yet the thing that stuck in my mind the most was her cleavage. It wasn't just distracting, but seemed simply inappropriate with the rest of the feel of the game. Especially taking the time period it's set in. It just seemed silly and totally gratuitous that she'd rock a bodice that tight and low cut if she was that top heavy.

Not really. They are more adapted. Its being used to explain the game's background instead of being a direct reference to heaven, hence dropping "Lord".

This might surprise some of you, if not most, but this Bioshock is the first one to peak my interest.

Look's good, let's hope the shooting feels, at the least, as good as B2's because B1's shooting was freaking awful.

Hmmm....that guy in the armor at the end reaching for the player....I really hope he isn't what's under the mask of the bird creature and is instead just another big daddy type boss you find later in the game.

Neat, I learn something every day.

Odd that it has a skpped beat in it though. Maybe I'm just hearing it after having heard the the other way for so long.

I noticed that as well. It was kind of a random bit for that character to have originally. Thumbs up on the change.

I'm pro-less random/excessive in video games.

Cool version of the song, but I wish it'd not left out the religious words of the original. I think the original song's lyrics are good enough to honor. I suppose I get why this version was chosen.

I am anticipating the game.

Edit: Upon further research after watching the video, this particular verse is the original (that has been altered many times since) while the overtly religious lyrics follow. I stand corrected.

Yeah, early 1900's America isn't really a common setting for Japanese games. I've seen a few set in the corresponding Showa period in Japan, but that's a somewhat different aesthetic. And FPSs in general are pretty rare from Japanese developers.

The worst case scenario for this game is that they release something that's only as good as the first two bioshock games, in which case we'll still get a great game. This may be the only game I care about that's coming out next year.
