Ohhh man, it's really going to suck when I'm in that period when the game is finally out but my computer's too shitty to run it, so I end up having to avoid anything anybody ever says about it so I don't get spoilers.
New BioShock Infinite Trailer Makes a Deal With the Devil

No, not at all.Zombie Sodomy said:
Infinite isn't a direct sequel. The story is unrelated and the setting is unconnected. Different continuity altogether.
There are some thematic simularities and the gameplay will presumably be similar. Also, from what I've seen, there are a few nods to the previous game.
That said, I would recommend playing the other Bioshocks for their own sake. The first one is great and the second is pretty damn good.
I really hope this game is every bit as awesome as it looks. Elizabeth is looking like an excellent character and I'm glad to hear the player character has a voice and personality. This is one of the few games in a long time that I was looking forward to, the other being Aliens: Colonial Marines.
I'll wait for the reviews to come out on this one too.

I really REALLY hope that I'm going to be able to enjoy Bioshock: Infinite. Honestly, I understand why the original Bioshock received as much acclaim as it did, but from a purely mechanical standpoint... I couldn't get into it. I don't know why, but right from the start it just felt wrong for some reason. Loved the setting, loved the story, just couldn't get into the gameplay.
From footage I've watched, Infinite seems to have a different feel to the gameplay though, so hopefully I'll like it much better than the original Bioshock.
Especially since I'm getting it free with my new 7950... >.>

That's it I'm buying this game now. I already had my interest piqued when I heard it was based around America in the early 1900s--what with all the Xenophobia and Isolationism--which is probably my favorite era in American history to study.
*seizure*
I want this so hard right now!
By the way, does anyone know the name of the first song used in the trailer? I know the 2nd is Save My Soul by Blues Saraceno already, but there's light guitar riffs near the beginning of the trailer that sounds really good. I'd kill to have the name of the song. Please?
EDIT: Also, I want to go play Bastion after listening to the music of this trailer. xD

The protagonist seems to be talking... a lot. Yeah, Bethesda should looking into that lest they appear to be relying on dialogue for the story.
It's not that I don't like the talky talky, but it inherently yanks audience participation away from the player and gives it to voice actor Mc'LineReader. Much appreciated for interactive books like JRPGs, but less so for the first-person stuff.
Also, this trailer makes me want to go watch other, better, trailers. I want to play this game for the Bioshock feel... in a floating city! I agree with Smilo, this was just too much like a movie trailer, and I don't feel enthused when they have to take the time to sell the characters to me. I'm supposed to get the feel of everyone though game-play. Oh hey, another reason why talking can piss right off, I'm developing the character's style through the way I deal with crap and then it's all changed when they spout lines.

I personally couldn't mind less. I played the first two Bioshock games with a non-talking Jack and a non-talking Big Daddy. Great games in my opinion, but for a change, I want to hear the character's unique perspective. I want to know what his reaction is when he sees these "heavy hitters". But for the most part, I welcome that they're trying something different from the first Bioshock. Bioshock 2 ended any interest I had in another Bioshock game taking place in Rapture.
