7 hours till it unlocks on Steam.
Why so long
Why so long
I'm assuming this is pre-production gameplay footage because it's definitely NOT the first 30 minutes of the game I've been playing. You don't meet Elizabeth until about and hour and a half in for a start. Literally everything is different, from the way Elizabeth looks, the HUD, even the storyline has been completely changed.
As for the actual game, it's very good, I'm about 6 hours in so far. The skyhook is a great addition and means some of the battles can take place over huge areas, meaning a massive amount of variety in methods/angles of attack. It's also a brutal melee weapon. The story isn't quite as involving as the first one but it's still pretty good. Rapture was prettier too, even if it was falling apart. I'm slightly disappointed with the variety of vigors (plasmids in the first 2) as I seem to just be using the same 2 in pretty much every situation. However there's a fair range of weapons to choose from, but only being able to carry 2 at any time can be frustrating.
I'd give it a solid 8.5, maybe even a 9 from what I've played so far, but for so many places to be giving it a perfect score seems a little generous.

Encountered my first major ball ache with the game. After some of the boss fights, an enemy will either hide behind cover and get stuck or just disappear off the map completely, meaning you can't kill them and progress with the story. Checkpoints aren't exactly frequent either, so I've had to restart and go through the last 20 mins of gameplay again on two separate occasions now.
What format mate?

My thoughts exactly! Certainly didn't hang around.
Just got started with this. Already confused with the story to be honest.. Good though!
I don't think I've ever played a game whilst being constantly interested and impressed as I was with Bioshock - didn't bother with the second as I thought it would be a disappointment.
This looks amazing however, like a kind of mixture of Bioshock and Dishonored with an extra dollop of awesome.
I've seen a couple of reviews and they've all been 10s. Bodes well.

The ending left me helpless and distraught.

Loved stumbling upon little details early on, like the barbershop quartet on the airship.
I'm not very far into it but you can tell its special - still has that amazing bioshockness to it. The beginning was VERY reminiscent of the first game, albeit going into the sky instead of under the sea.
What's this 1999 mode?

Harder difficulty after completing it is 1999 mode. I finished it on Hard without too many problem so hoping it's a little more of a challenge.
I loved the barbershop quartet, I stood there in awe until they finished !
I felt the exact same! :rasp:
It's the little details that make the game so good tbh.
Hearing Cyndi Lauper and Tears for Fears made me smile too. There's a pretty massive bit towards the end that will put a massive grin on your face, those who have completed the game will know exactly what I'm on about.

Ohh yes. Very impressed to see that in there!
Give the first one a shot definitely. I assume it still stands up today - haven't played it since it first came out and I was properly impressed throughout then.
Simply put, if you like Infinite you'll probably enjoy Bioshock just the same, maybe more..
Jesus, just checked - it came out six years ago!

good choice.
i'm not sure if you lads have seen, but Ken Levine has cancelled the production of the film recently too!
he said it wasn't up to the standard he wants so he doesn't want it ruining his dream.
THATS why these games are so good.. he just doesn't settle for second best.
the little touches are exactly as you lads say, brilliant. its the difference between a normal game and a game.. well, like bioshock.

don't remind me.. i'm gonna be sooooo stuck. :dapprove:
