OMG
 


Umm...IDK what to say about this, what do you guys think?

Havoc 08-12-2010 02:15 PM

Likewise, I don't know what to say about this...

Hazel-Rah 08-12-2010 02:16 PM

I don't think I like it. :/ Seems kinda silly.

I bet MeechMunchie will like this.

Havoc 08-12-2010 02:26 PM

From what I can gather it's a prequal to Bioshock 1, set in 1912. It apparently plays in the same universe as the other two games and has similar gameplay such as a plasmids, but since it takes place before Rapture was even built the entire concept of plasmids is completely retarded.

I guess we'll have to see what they make of it, but right now it looks more like some cheap knock off than a true prequal/sequal, whatever.

Hazel-Rah 08-12-2010 02:28 PM

Well atleast it looks unique, it's true that steampunk is an unpopular theme in video-games.

OANST 08-12-2010 02:39 PM

It looks a shit ton better than Bioshock 2. Mostly because Ken Levine is involved.

Havoc 08-12-2010 02:50 PM

I personally don't like the happy joy colorful cartoony look. Especially not associated with a Bioshock title.

Then again, the developer was very specific in an interview that this particular footage plays in 1912. I wouldn't put it past them to have the actual game play 25 years later after that entire city crashed and burned somewhere in the ocean.

Milk, milk.

There's nothing happy joy colorful cartoony about it you fucking mangoblin. There's sunlight. Fucking sunlight. Stop nitpicking so much and enjoy the fucking flying city game.

Hazel-Rah 08-12-2010 07:58 PM



Sounds great, I was wondering at first how anyone can hide a floating city from the government XD

Xavier 08-12-2010 11:05 PM

Thanks for that interview. This whole new turn looks amazing!
I really hope I will be able to get to their booth at the Gamescom.

I think I'm the only person in the world who likes Bioshock 2 better than the first one.

STM 08-13-2010 05:07 AM

WTF, never played bio-shock so mega wtf

You're just the only one who played them with his brain tied behind his back.

Can someone help me find the "eject from thread" key on my keyboard?

Hazel-Rah 08-14-2010 01:06 AM

I can't decide which I want more Bioshock Infinite or LBP2, probably Bioshock Infinite.

I hope this new Bioshock actually looks like it does in the trailer...


Xavier 08-14-2010 01:26 AM

There weren't even memory ghosts in Bioshock 2. The trailer is a lie!

Because of the steampunk or because of the Lovecraftian influence?

Milk, milk.

If you consider this milking a franchise then what do you call Reach?

Yer, you actually have a point about the lack of steampunk themed games, come to think of it I've only played one in my life and that's Penny Arcade on the Precipice of Drakness. That game also has a shit load of HPL references you should check it out.

Oh hold up I misread your thing, I meant you'd like it because of the steampunk look.

Xavier 08-15-2010 11:06 AM

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the earth has some HPL references too I believe.

Scariest game ever...Flying Polyps *shivers*

Probably because it's a game of the H.P.L. story Shadow Over Innsmouth. But yes, that is the best-known and pretty much only H.P. Sauce Lovecraft game.

Alf Shall Rise 08-17-2010 12:53 PM

Looks different that's for sure, I won't be able to properly judge it until I actually play it when it's released. But it does look pretty interesting.

Hazel-Rah 08-21-2010 10:03 AM

I'm obsessed with that trailer right now. Think about it, how many turn of the century FPS games are there?

Hazel-Rah 08-28-2010 06:57 PM

Eh but I'm not sure if I'm actually going to buy it, I just have too many FPS games in my library, it infuriates me. Also Bioshock Infinite will never have a character as cool as Andrew Ryan in it lol.


I'll definitely play it though.

crimsonxking 08-29-2010 07:46 PM

I still haven't played Bioshock 2 (although I do love this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hzsCV8Ec8Y). The first one was a brilliant masterpiece of a game, though. This looks like it will be another great game, and I am glad to see the series moving away from Rapture and focusing on the mystery of "what the hell happened here?" again.

Definitely looking forward to this... although I could have sworn I already said I was looking forward to this game on this forum...

Hazel-Rah 08-30-2010 08:16 AM

Bioshock 2 is one of my favorite games just don't play it on PS3 it looks blurrier than the 360 version, curse you better graphics card and greater amount of RAM.

I REALLY like how you're not playing as a nameless protagonist anymore, I never understood how I was supposed to relate to a hand holding a gun.

lismati 08-30-2010 08:39 AM

I like BioShock 2, but IMO first one was brtter.
