Bioshock: Infinite HYPE THREAD (56k) 9.0 @ GS! (96 @ MC)

How are we supposed to predict the review score when we haven't even seen any real gameplay footage?

Anyway, hm, Infinite has a lot of style, but the first game also had style...yet ended up feeling clunky and underwhelming. I'll wait and see with this one - there are a ton of things they need to improve on if they want to get my money this time around.

*Edit* No, seriously, what are we judging here? The artwork? The heavily scripted tech demo? The previous games in the series?

Awesome Awesome Awesome

AAA

Also,TC.

Good job leaving out the poll,counting only the people that post their hype.I like that.

That's a Wes-s.tyle HYPE thread :P

AAA for me. Enjoyed Bioshock alot even through it went downhill a little after the big plot twist, but this is looking better with a more interesting setting. Day one buy for me.

New IGN Article, it's an interview and they talk about Elizabeth and the Songbird - http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1213296p1.html

Game is still said to be releasing in 2012, that's good. :P

"First new footage from BIOSHOCK INFINITE since E3 will be shown at 2011 VGAs! Can't wait to see what @IGLevine has in store!"

Going for a solid 9.5 (AAA) from me. I would like to say AAAA but its so hard to justify predicting a game will get that kind of score when there are so few games that truly have.

Very nice thread too Wes. Reminds me how excited I am for this game. One of the few games that I will actually purchase at release next year too.

How Half-Life Influenced Bioshock: Infinite - http://www.gamespot.com/features/how-half-life-influenced-bioshock-infinite-6347428/?tag=footer%3Blink

^ Great Article, all the followers and ones that are highly anticipating this game, should definetly read when you have time.

The Gameplay Trailer that was shown @ the VGAs is also there, it's pretty short and it's all in-game footage. :)

Looks as good as the first one if not better.

AAA

Don't see it scoring lower then a 9.0

Didn't like Bioshock, this doesn't look much better but i give it solid A

Great Thread, i'm really looking forward to this game...and i don't play FPS.

Nice thread! My personal HYPE may be higher, but GS AAA HYPE seems fair.

Still, just wanted to zip by and drop a line on a great HYPE thread for a neato game coming soon. :P

I still remember Buying my shining copy of Bioshock C.E. for Xbox 360 back in 2007, I believe. This game is made by that team, I'm excited! :P

This is solid AAA material. That is my hype.
.
This game looks great, my only sorrow is: no Shodan.

I think it will get AA. 8.0 or 8.5.

Excellent thread, my hype is AAA.

AAAA. It probably won't get that but for me, it probably will be that good. I like it when shooters actually care about their characters, world and plot instead of just "WOW moments" all the time. This seems to have everything. Cannot wait. :) P.S. Pretty much any FPS game is in some way influenced by half-life, it's just how it is. :)

New "Heavy Hitters" series will start for Bioshock: Infinite, and here is #1 (Motorized Patriot, Introducing a new antagonist)

AAA all the way

My prediction:

This game will be awesome/10

Heavy Hitters #2

Heavy Hitters #3

Enjoy :)

Agreeing with other posters, isn't this a tad early? Other then that, nice hype thread! BTW why didn't ya mention B2? I actually really enjoyed B2, the only problem i had was it was branded as a "games for Windows live" on PC/Steam which long story short gave me a crap time in just getting to play the damn game.dracolich55

Irrational Games created the Bioshock series and they are developing Bioshock Infinite.

For the hype I think I will say AAA.

I would probably be more interested in Bioshock Infinite if it was made by 2K Marin.

It looks great on the surface, but the studio that is currently Irrational has not proven they can make a game that plays well. The last great game with their name on it was SWAT 4.

My hype for this is AAA, definitely. I can't see it getting lower than a 9.0.

AAA in here. AAAA for me. ;)

I know that, but its still a Bioshock game, just as the first 2 Deus Ex games were mentioned in the HR hype thread but were developed by Ion storm, not Eidos Montreal?dracolich55

Well, those two games (maybe not IW as much) informed the making of Human Revolution. I think Levine pretends that Bioshock 2 doesn't exist and won't be taking any cues from it.

I am really excited for this game. I think it will garner an 8.5 minimum around here.

Pity it's coming out in October, though. Why not the summer?

New Heavy Hitters video.

Heavy Hitters Part 4: Siren

I just hope it's not as heavyhanded as the original BioShock. That game could've had a really interesting story if it didn't have numerous overwrought explanations of everything that's going on.

Looking forward to this game, even though I hated the original Bioshock.

I'll rent, and if I really dig it, I'll buy!

Really? Do you think Andrew Ryan's speech in which he explains pretty much everything that has happened in the game up to that point and starts shouting the main theme of the game at you several times is is a brilliant and subtle moment in the history video game storytelling?

I'm with you. The whole game I had trouble suspending my diesbelief because it was so poorly written. I did enjoy enough of it to push through to the big reveal, but after the "OBEEEEEEEY!" speech, I said "meh" and gave up.
