BioShock Infinite lifts off in 2012

I wish this game would be more bigger than the bioshock2!!

Hmmm bioshock but skyward? interesting to see what happens but very well may be bioshock in a new cast, one to keep an eye on methinks...

I really want to see what 2K does with this. I got Rapture, man escapes under the sea, goes wrong and you're trapped. What's with Columbia? I mean that in a good way, we'll just have to wait and see :D

i am pumped. this will be great i have no doubt--probably a prime, groundbreaking title that is perhaps even better than the original bioshock. but will it recapture that "virgin" feeling when you first play a new game that completely reworks your outlook on all subsequent titles? i certainly hope so, just dont overdo the distopia feel 2k.. make it real, tangible like in your original...

@Joker_851 that actually sounds pretty epic :D

2 YEARS??? I WANT IT NOW NOW NOW NOW

Woot.

Looks like it might be fun. Granted the trailer looks GREAT, but I'll still wait for the game in motion.

oooo interesting :p i hope weather affects the game, that would be neat

Looks promising. I hope they add plenty of new stuff and move away from the same formula of underwater Bioshock.

I have a silly idea of what this could be like. I'm kind of using someone else's idea but I forget their name so whoever it is, I'm sorry. But what I'm wondering is if Andrew Ryan was one of the babies that was rejected or a poor, sick child who was not welcome in Columbia. By the way, I read that the residents of Columbia are sexist, racist and hate other religions, focusing only on the American-ness of their city. Anyway, what if Andrew Ryan as a child, is disgusted by the government who run Columbia and dreams to create a world of his own. A better world where there is no government or hate. (Referencing to the sign at the beginning of Bioshock reading 'No gods or kings. Only man.') So he grows up to build Rapture. Feel free to debate because I know it's a silly idea but I just felt like putting it out there.

Sounds interesting for sure, but if it's using the title "Bioshock" without having anything to do with the story, it almost sounds like they're trying to steal a little ride on the coattails of the Bioshock franchise's success... But at least we're getting to see it from the developers of the original and not the sequel!

im very interested in this game.i finally beat the first game and will be moving on to bioshock 2 soon

I loved the trailer, can't wait to see more.

So there'll be sane inhabitants? I can't wait to see 2K pull this one off, should breath life into a franchise that is quickly going stagnant

flying cities? im not amused.

@ terror_ninja Bioshock 2 was not a prequel. The game took place ten years after the events of the first game. The only part that was considered a "prequel" was the multiplayer(Which had no story except you had to kill each other), and the opening cinematic, but Bioshock 2 was not a prequel.

Extremely well done trailer, hope the game will live up to it. The new logo is also cool

Interesting! The first Bioshock was a masterpiece. The sequel didn't hold a candle to it. Hopefully this will bring the series back to its former glory.

Lets see some gameplay

Intrigued and Excited

Can't say I care for the name. Even just "Infinite" would be better than Bioshock Infinite, it doesn't really make sense. That said, I'm a total airship geek, and this is gonna be amazing :)..

Anyone else wodering where the Adam is going to come from? It was originally from a type of sea slug was it not? If the Adam was so scarce in Rapture that it sparked conflict how does Columbia obtain some?

Sorry for double-posting but I also wonder what the enemies are going to be like because Rapture was destroyed and only the insane were left there. In this new city, Columbia, it looks like a perfect paradise. So why is there a Big Daddy-ish creature in the beginning? Will there be splicers or a different breed of enemy? Maybe more robots?! Oh, by the way. The game is set in 1912-which is also one year after Red Dead Redemption is set! Okay I'm done now.

Okay everybody. If you want more details on the game go to the website it shows at the end. www.whatisicarus.com or www.bioshockinfinite.com. It has a synopsis there that explains the story. You're a guy trying to save a woman from a city that, as the Irrational team writes, "literally falling from the sky". It also says "fight foes in high-speed Sky-line battles" and "Engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds". So now we all have to make up our ideas of what the game will be like. Ready? Go!

its what bioshock 2 shud have been

@Gelugon_baat About the "Underground city" thing, that was exactly what I was thinking yesterday! And I also compared it to city of ember! It would be cool if they made a jungle-themed Bioshock or like an island paradise gone wrong. But I guess that's a bit like Singularity. Tropishock, synthoshock...something like that.

Why announce it so long before release?

I... Can't... Wait...

like this new setting for a bioshock game..

cool i love bioshock

i might actually try the game this time!

Even this is thoroughly hard to swallow, I think I'll devour it anyway

Well judging by the logic with the names choices I must ask.

What exactly says underwater suburbia in any of the definitions of the word "Bio" that makes it a worthy logical fit?

!!!!!! :)

Looks interesting, will be waiting for more news and updates about it :) Thing is that some people believe that the game is not Bioshock if it's not set in rapture, whereas some people believe that the game won't be as fresh as the original if it were set in Rapture again, so it's hard for the developers to know how to shape up the sequel. I think that's why they named it "Infinite". Numbered bioshock titles could be all set in Rapture, whereas "Infinite" titles could be set in Columbia.

Also...I bet I know how this game ends! I bet that Columbia falls into the sea, and is 'salvaged' or 'rebuilt' to become the original Rapture.

@terror_ninja: Bioshock 2 isn't a prequel, it's a sequel.

One thing is for sure right now: Gorgeous.

looks damn hot....

I'm not sure about this. What made bioshock so great was being in a retro underwater city with horror elements.

Btw I like this idea of AeroShock. I demand it be called AeroShock. Some one COMMAND Irrational to make this so.

I really enjoyed BioShock 1, But purposley avoided 2 because I hate prequels purely for the fact that new ideas are in place... in the games past...it just doesnt sit right with me. But seeing how this is something completely different to the old under water-ness. Im in :D and it looks sweet too.

Excellent looking forward to this especially since it's from Irrational. Those guys rock! :D

ahh man... why is the game coming out the same year the world ends?... lol jk

My guess is right, they build a rapture - like city in the sky!! a cookie for me

Finally out of rapture and into something new.........cant wait.......
