It’s almost here.

In our final teaser video before the full E3 2011 gameplay demonstration is released, creative director Ken Levine introduces the first two minutes of the demo. We’re also excited to announce that the whole shebang will premiere on Spike as part of a half-hour special with Ken and Geoff Keighley!

Tune in to Spike on the evening of Thursday, July 7–check your local listings for the airtime of GameTrailers TV. It’ll be all over the internet the next day.

    Nothing makes me cum buckets like searching around an abandoned gift shop…. Haha, no that was a great tease. Glad to see we finally have a release date for that demonstration.

    Dammit, not the 7th. Can it be for the 4th? No? Anyone?

    This will be enough, then.

    wow good lord. Just watched it. Anyone else notice the Nostrum that Booker picked up in that barrel? There was winter sky line protection(Or something) melee Executioner
    and some sort of speed boost which the player had selected.

      No need to go that far with the language. We all would have liked it release as soon as possible. It’s pretty cool that its getting a grand release on Spike tv, take comfort in that.

    Please add an option, in th PC version, to shut Booker up! Just like you added the option to turn of loot glimmer in the original. I hated hearing him talk.

    I’m not one to gush the instant a game is announced–I’m more of a “wait and see” type. But that snippet of footage was damned impressive. You can see how the team has improved and grown from BioShock. I’m loving the art design. The store was a feast for the eyes.

    The whimsy and humor that Elizabeth adds, particularly due to her innocence and delight at common things, should make a nice counterpoint to the darker sections of the game. IG is really going to make me care about her if this footage is indicative of the rest of the game.

    Looks great. Loved the beams of sunlight pouring through a gap in the curtains. Also, how eerie did that sound at the end?

    Honestly, once the demo ended, I thought, “there’s no way that was 2 minutes!”. I looked at the youtube time and saw that the entire video is almost 4. 🙁

      The gameplay portion is exactly two minutes.
      The rest is Ken’s intro and the Spike advert.

      To be specific, when they mean Thursday night at 1AM, they really mean “Friday morning at 1AM.” For some reason, it’s kinda like that in most cases. I had this happen when BioShock 2’s launch trailer was scheduled to premier on Jimmy Fallon’s late show, which I waited on the morning it was suppose to show, only it was suggested that they meant the night of that date. Sure enough, the trailer premiered on the next episode. Right now, you have 19 hours and 9 minutes in counting before it’s premier.

    Hey Ken, big fan of Bioshock and of course System shock 2..but whats with the run and gun? What happened to exploring the environment like in System Shock 2? also I hope its not all about rails the whole time.. don’t get me wrong looks great but hopefully has a bit more variety. Keep up the great work fellas!
