Actually, you said "they made Rapture out of it".
Besides, they are different things: Rapture is a shelter, Columbia is a death star...

Anyway, we are still 2 years off the release and the game has just been revealed. Still too early to see if they are part of the same universe.
Yes, OUT OF IT. Not from it. There's a difference.
After a thing like that crashes, there wouldn't be a lot left.
He used what was left as a basis.

And they must be in the same universe.
It's called Bioshock.
I can't see how you can you such definitive language here, especially seeing as you're going on conjecture based on not very much at all. Nobody can prove anything, and past idle musing it's not all that worth getting this deep into it for now. Let's just enjoy the trailer.

I'm really glad they're at least leaving the story of the 1st (and consequently 2nd) games alone and taking that part in a new direction. It screams 'cash cow' a little less loudly.

Looks nice and interesting...

However, the dumbed down gameplay in both Bioshocks, as opposed to System Shock/2, pisse dme off so much that both games lie around unfinished. I'm awaiting the gameplay. Setting is cool. Freaking unbelievable, but hey.. looks cool. What matters more.

Is the Bioshock franchise really grasping at straws already?
So your willing to accept an underwater city, but a city in the clouds, now that's just too much?

Anyways, it looks good. I look forward to what they do with the unique setting and where the story goes. However I do have 2 concerns:

1 - That new Big Daddy has a human heart in him. I really hope they don't pull some BS where a older character like Andrew Ryan has been rebuilt as a big daddy that would just be lame.

2 - The synopsis on the site says the game will involve saving a little girl from the city and forming a bond with her....sounds a bit too much like Bioshock 2's story to me.

I look forward to this game and seeing more footage of it.
To be honest I'd personally say that an underwater city is more belivable than a floating skyscraper, but that's just me. Probably won't put me off buying it when it's released.

I also don't think that an older character will be brought back, BS was set in 50's if I remember, and there's a statue in the trailer for infinite that says 1892 (or close to it), whether that's just a statue or when the game is set, only time will tell

Well, on the website and in an interview they say Bioshock: Infinite is set in 1912.

she isnt a little girl anymore. it said she was imprisoned since she was a little girl, she is fully grown now. Also she has telekenisis so thats new. (didnt play B2 but I assume the little girl didn't have telekenisis.)

Dunno. Dosnt look to bad. It is cool that it is a retro cloud city. I hope that Billy Dee Williams does the voice for the leader of the city.

I think I want to play this game already. Apparently Infinite doesn't have much to do with the story of the first two games, but it's got to have some kind of link, or it wouldn't be a BioShock game. That's where my interest is as far as the story goes. I really want to know how it ties in. Maybe Ryan got the idea of a secluded city from Columbia? Maybe Ryan was a citizen of Columbia? Maybe this sets up a bigger entity that's been working in the background the entire time? I wanna know! DX

It's a prequel, there will be no revivals of older characters. And something tells me it isn't a "Big Daddy" kind of villain. It seems like there might only be that one, in which case it might be a major villain in the game, as opposed to the 'basic enemy' flavor that Big Daddies tend to be coated with.

Bioshock?

Instead of making this a sequel, why not just make it an original IP. It certainly looks different enough.

Like, Sky-o-shock. Get it? Because its in the sky? I'm so damn clever, it's criminal.

*Sighs* it would be nice play a "****Shock" game where you can actually explore/fight/appreciate the amazing setting BEFORE it's all gone to hell. Seriously! It would be alot more amazing if we had gotten to appreciate Rapture when it was all in one piece.

I just watched the trailer, but it looked like everything was pristine and happy, with trouble lurking in the shadows. Perhaps this game will have you set in the middle of the downfall of Colombia, witnessing the following chaos and madness as the sky city turns to hell. I get this impression because I believe I read on the featured content that it will have a "Wild West" feel in that you don't know who's good or bad. So this might indicate that you'll run into perfectly sane people, those who've cracked, people following some cult/faction, ect. There are plenty of opportunities in that case to take advantage of a new environment. What would be great is watching as it falls.

Wow, this forum is a fucking war zone. *runs away*

OT: the concept REALLY interests me, though the storyline would be the hard part. how in hell is the city floating on only balloons?

Hurray looks good and means we won't have to get a bioshock prequel that everybody seems to want despite complaining that bioshock 2 did nothing new (ignoring cynicism vs optimisme, parenting) and instead they should have retold the same story they spent the entirety of Bioshock telling.

So its basically Rapture but in the sky, and apart from the big daddy like thing and the plasmid the woman uses it could be a completely different game. Could still be interesting but it depends on how they excute it

I refer you to X-com as my main example where the game is set in a different period, is a different genre of game and completely unrelated, they simply used the name to generate famility and sales.

Looks interesting, to be honest without knowing much about it it's hard to say when it's set given that if it's a soceity where someone build "a city in the clouds" at an earlier time period it's conventions might be from an earlier time.

That said, there is nothing at all "Steampunk" about it at all, not one bit of punk to be seen anywhere. Retro-future perhaps, but not Steampunk. I am REALLY beginning to hate the term "Steampunk" and how people throw it around nowadays. I think some people really need to expose themselves to some 1980s culture to get the right idea. Look at some actual punks, or the fashions worn in say "Friday the 13th: The Series" (who were by and large not punks, though a few did show up) to get the idea of how things should look both for ordinary people and punks. Then add the retro-future technology, that should look less like it was riveted together by an old world metal worker, but like it was welded together by some dude with a mohawk and a chainsaw, even if the functionality is similar. That's Steampunk. Not one example of big 80s hair in that entire trailer, and no self respecting punk or even one of the bad guys in that kind of fiction would be wearing suits like the ones you see there which are totally normal from an old time period. Add some leopard or tiger print patterns to it, and put some "Sid and Nancy" on the record player for the guy we saw and he might just barely pass. Take the girl give her some skin tight stirrup pants, a baggy shirt bound off at a waist at a wierd angle by a spiked belt of patent leather, increase her amount of hair x10 billowing around her, add some fingerless lace gloves and then she might pass. Replace what appears to be brass with steel and blackened iron, make the rivets more chaotic and uneven, and greatly reduced in number with a lot of the things instead being held together by very obvious and perhaps intentionally sloppy welds. Remove most of the clear geometic shapes and right angles, and make everything look uneven and a bit off so your eyes scream for having to try and find conventional perspective on things even though upon close examination it all does hold together.... then it would be Steampunk. Or basically redo the entire thing.

Oh yes and the robot needs spikes and extraneous serrated razor blades.
Oh man...you are...so...Gods!I don't know if you joking but...dude...THAT ISN'T STEAMPUNK AT ALL!Actually the first form of Steampunk came...100 years before the 80's!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk

The clue to what Steampunk is, is not the name "Punk"...its the Steam part!

so if it is not in rapture and basically has nothing to do with the oringinal, why is it called bioshock? or am I interpreting it for more than "bioshock" really is because "bioshock" is the name of the series not of the setting of the first or second (and by the way it was gawd awful).WOW I just made a statement and then just tried to counteract it.

[edit] looking at the zeps and stuff it makes me hunger for the days I would own at Crimson Skies!I wish the disc never broke:(

They talked about the demo on IGN and it sounds epic and far more actiony.
