I think "Columbia" is the exact opposite of Rapture, very nationalistic and full of American exceptionalism. It's also possible that Ryan is going to be in the game, the man on the balcony. It fits with the plot and he may get fed up with Columbia's jingoism and go ahead and start Rapture.
I quite like the idea of Columbia falling into the sea to become Rapture. The story we were told in Bioshock 2 could be a lie to cover up Columbia's mistakes, because Andrew Ryan being who he is would not really tell of the things he messed up on. But the dates of Bioshock 1 may not match Columbia'sFlamezdudes said:
I have this strange feeling that that one girl is the thing really keeping the city up in the air the propellers are just for show. you save the girl the city falls (Into the sea) ryan gets pissed and low and behold.
ehm....steampunk. right....apparently I'm one of only two people on the internet who do not like steampunk (or any of the other "punks") so I must say I'm unimpressed. That, and the shooting from the first two Bioshock games was pretty disappointing, so I'm just gonna say "pass" for now.

I guess great minds think alike huh? Also to clarify, I'm not implying you copied me as I put that in the other thread discussing this in gaming discussion. Just thought it nice to know someone else had came to the same conclusion.Tdc2182 said:
Slightly more on topic, the only thing I'm disappointed about here is that we have to wait until at least 2012 for this. It'll be interesting to see where the series goes after this though. After a city underwater and a city in the sky, one on land just seems too tame. Perhaps an underground city next? A city on space seems a stretch, but after all I'm not going to end up ranting about how that setting would be unrealistic. So to those who complain that a city in the sky is too surreal, especially considering the time in which it is set, it should be remembered that games should not be constrained by what we deem to be 'realistic' or not. If all games were restricted to the realm of realisticity then gaming would surely become a much less interesting hobby due to a lack of variety and imagination.
So... its the movie Wild Wild West meets F.E.A.R.? Meh, looks interesting. I love steampunk stuff, so i guess im going to consider it.
Hmmm... I honestly think this would have made a much better Bioshock 2 - though I haven't actually played the second one (and I really really should!) Having Bioshock 2 being set in the same environment kinda made an expectation for the franchise - people expect to see more of the same, the same rapture, etc.
If they wished the franchise to be more liberal with the setting and story (like in Final Fantasy games, which continuously change from game to game), then they should have shown that the story being told in the Shock universe is a diverse one, not entirely set in Rapture and Rapture alone.
Nevertheless, this is a great trailer, and I eagerly anticipate the coming game!

ANOTHER Bioshock sequel?
lets review this series, shall we?
Bioshock 1: The story of one man's dream world at the bottom of the sea, and it's eventual destruction. The protagonist kills the bad guy, Rapture falls, and everyone is dead.
Bioshock 2: 10 years later, Rapture is still the home of hundreds of humans and splicers and big daddies, despite all the leaks, civil war, and explosions from the first game in what I call the "retcon" approach to sequels. This time you play as a Big Daddy, thereby destroying the terrifying, lumbering beast's intrigue and everything that was interesting about them.
Bioshock Infinite (initial impression): Bioshock 1&2. But instead of a pseudo paradise under the sea, plagued by monsters and civil war, the story takes place in a pseudo paradise in the SKY, plagued by monsters and civil war.
Am I the only one who thinks this series should have stopped after the first game?

I agree. My immediate reaction to the trailer was that they are making entirely the same game, except for a different aesthetic. It seems like they are playing it safe again.Dorian6 said:
I'm playing through the second right now. It's not actually a bad game, though it does feel fairly superfluous compared to the first, and has far less in terms of impact.
I agree. I mean I love Bioshock 1 and 2 and I loved the whole setting of Rapture and the Splicers and whatnot. But this is just looks like a different franchise in general for me. I mean I would go head over heals for this if I didn't love the first two so much. The only way I will accept this as a new Bioshock game with the franchise going in the same direction as Final Fantasy is if there is some closure to the Rapture saga. If at the end of the new DLC Rapture has a self destruction and there is no trace of the city left and Tenenbaum either helps Eleanor with the new little sisters and improves the world, adopts her or stops her by harvesting the slug in her stomach (Depending on the outcome of the main game read from the save data) and then the lose ends are tied up. Bottom line, HAVE SOME F-ING CLOSURE!!!LordCuthberton said:
I love the first Bio-Shock few games made now have as much an effect on me as Bio-Shock 1 did, I still get chills at the opening scene. The second one wile still a good game was a bit of a letdown for me. I don't give two shits about online multi-player and 2's story was lacking.
I like the idea of pulling a "Final Fantasy" with the Bio-Shock franchise and having each game be more or less independent from the others, they could experiment with different themes, visual styles, settings, stories. hell maybe they could do a cyberpunk style Bio-Shock game (steampunk is overrated and yes I could see that being a bit redundant with the existence of the System Shock games). This could help prevent Bio-Shock as a franchise from stagnating.
