Trailers: BioShock Infinite Gameplay

[Jumplion]

Holy fucking hell.

That was kick ass.

I love the new setting, they've handled it really well. We need more steampunk-y kind of games, I love the concept of gears and cogs and a bunch of gizmos meshing together to make something in the end, like a huge-ass Rube-Goldberg Machine. The city of Colombia seems to be just that, a huge-ass Rube-Goldberg Machine.

 

[Tanis]

That was just awesome.

I hope it's REAL game play, and not just some doctored up stuff.

 

[The Random One]

Pro: It actually feels spooky. Rapture is Smurfville compared to this.

Con: What's with all the scripted events? Half the video was about doing the precisely correct actions to obtain the precisely correct goals. Is it a sequel to Bioshock or Guitar Hero?

 

[Wraithsight]

I KNOW THAT VOICE! It's Garrett! I don't know why, but that makes me very happy.

I knew it too! I actually squeed out-loud in a highly embarrassing way...

 

[CloggedDonkey]

looks cool, but... doesn't really look like gameplay. It does look cool, and it looks like it will be fun, but it still all looks to pre-rendered. Like, why are there no menus or any indication that he switched Plasmids? Where is the HUD? How does the game know you're going to be in all of these places at these times? I know that the developers might set these up, but still, if you missed that sniper rifle at the guy preaching, you're screwed, and it looks easy to miss it.

After watching this I will be shining my golden idol of Ken Levin, for this game has been officially declared awesome to the nth degree. I'm actually liking the cartoony look of the character models; I think they work well with the environment and the situation.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

I'll probably get this one, but Bioshock was disappointing after all the hype.

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

I'm officially excited for Bioshock 2.

Indeed, THIS is Bioshock 2!

f**** AWESOME!

 

[drivel]

This game looks incredible. It provokes the same kind of shit-eating grin I had on my face the first time I saw gameplay from BioShock and Oblivion. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on it!

 

[kaizoman]

Talk about taking some advice. I love that the protagonist is going to be someone other than an unresponsive amorphous blob with hands. That has been something laking in FPS video game narrative for a while and this will be a good notch up for FPS gaming in general.

 

[TeH PizZa Guy]

Columbia= patriotic fascist state. very interesting, might buy at launch.

 

[Nouw]

It's always the setting that nails it for people. Including me!

Looks pretty awesome.

 

[enriquetnt]

most likely it will have segments of heavy scripted action, and then LONG segments of free play, (like god of war just change the QTE sequences to "Scripted" secuences) very good graphics, wonder what platform they where running the demo (if it wasnt PC consider me very surprised)

 

[Lazarus Long]

Yes, yes, very pretty, nice change of pace from the underwater setting, possibly indicative of gameplay but scripted all to hell, all that.
Now give me Freedom Force 3, damn you.

 

[Sacman]

It looks great! I was expecting it to be the exact same game... also awesome more wrench action!!!

 

[zauxz]

It should be illegal to present something scripted as actual gameplay...

 

[spartan773]

Just. Fucking. Wow.

 

[veloper]

Am I the only one who recognizes 100% scripting and 0% player input in this?
I reckon if the player didn't shoot or throw except when he's told, it will still go the same.

 

[DanielSPG]

Lastly, for better or for worse... cleavage.

Yea, looks like little sister grew a pair

As for being scripted; remember the intro of the first one was playable, but still extremely scripted, and was it awesome? Hell yes.

True, but there was hardly any actual gameplay in there except for you looking around and watching the story unfold, maybe whack a splicer here and there. Nothing major that would kill ya if ya didnt comply with the scripted decision you are supposed to take.. what if he didnt pick up the gun? what if he didnt use the hook on the rail, speaking of that, what triggered the voice acting in that part? the control to use the grappling on the rail? that would ve been a major delay in control to action.'

No doubt the trailer was awesome, but what got to me in the first game was that the gameplay never really changed which made quite gad to finish it cus more hallways shooting splicers I couldnt have handled (this also kept me from ever playing BS2, altough im sure it's awesome). The high amount of scripted events in this trailer looks like a great way to keep the gameplay interesting throughout the game, but can they deliver?

1. This. Looks. Epic.
2. Where does THIS fit in the continuity? Is this a sequel? A prequel? If a sequel, does that mean Bioshock's evil ending is canon? If this is a prequel, then HOW?! Is this only called Bioshock because of the plasmids and steampunk tech, and it takes place in an entirely different reality?
3. I hope this will be for PS3.

timeline wise, i suspect "Elizabeth" used to be a lil sister.. nuf said (ofcourse, cant be sure but the dress is dead giveaway, then again, u would expect a girl to develop taste over the years and not just buy the same dress in bigger sizes (and more cleavage shown) as she grows up, but hey
