Bioshock:Infinite

[Marik2]

Im not sure if this thread has been done (since the search bar sucks) but here goes.

I just recently saw the trailer for Bioshock:Infinite which is suppose to be Bioshock 3 (I think) and judging from the trailer...its not the same old city of rapture we all know and love.

So any people here have an idea on what will be in store in the new Bioshock?

Im really digging the new city and looks like its going to have more steampunk in it.

I think my thread on this is literally 2 pages back. But then again that was also a thread that had been done recently so whatever, let's just role with it.

Personally I'm really excited for this. The thing that I loved about the first Bioshock is the fact that you were in this strange environment that you'd never seen before and didn't understand. It was beautiful, it was intriguing, and sometimes it was terrifying. That sense of wonder was seriously missing from the second game, which might as well have been an expansion. Rapture was great the time we had with it, but it's story is done.

Bioshock Infinite is I think a great example of how to do a sequel; retain elements that make the first brilliant while also taking it into a new fresh direction. It's keeping some of the key elements (an imaginative, retro, politically corrupt city/magic like abilities/horror) yet changing things completely at the same time (Rapture is now Columbia/ADAM is replace by another power/claustrophobia is replaced by vertigo).

Of coarse there's every chance that this game could be shit, this is only a trailer with no gameplay after all. We've seen with Left 4 Dead 2 what day light can do to a horror game, but then again maybe falling to your death is more frightening when you can see the ground. It could be that the atmosphere simply doesn't have the same impact that Rapture had the first time around, maybe the story is crap ect. Still, I like the direction they're taking.
