    I think I might just cry if I have to wait until 2012 to play this……I’ll give you 30 bucks right now to play that demo….Simply amazing…Only thing I didn’t really like was [ —-spoiler—- ] the big red ball of metal that Elizabeth made to destroy the people in the way….it looked really out of place to me.

    That’s Unbelieveble, It’s just Incredible Gorgeous. And by the way, after that each of IG said that there was nothin with the previous BioShocks, well I fell Rapture all the way in, Same Mankind, Same Rage, yeh of course Booker talks has ideas, but I can feel All the Old Insane BioShock’s Atmophere right in there.
    A marvelous Masterpiece IG, Keep it up hard as you can, Marvelous as We already know You can do.
    Bravissimi, indeed.

    Now I understand, Elizabeth is just like Eleonor, and that “Flyin’ Big Daddy” is her Protector. You can understand it cause He had firstly Yellow Eyes, like normale BDaddies when they walk around with LSisters; as He see you near El’, His Eyes becomes Red, like when BDaddies become angry cause You get to near the LSisters. She can’t be a LSister, cause Tennebaum created them; but She can be like Eleonor, cause like for Eleonor someone wants Her Powers for His Will, don’t matter if in BS2 was just a united group of person, or like in BSI where’s two Faction fightin’ for it.
    Clever.
    There’s Everything about Old BioShocks not changes at all, leave out the Gameplay that at least is just so similiar at the Previous even with many differences.

    A couple things I noticed after poring through the trailer:

    – When Booker first meets Salton Stall (the campaigning guy) and takes the gun. Take a look at his button. It starts with an American flag. When his eyes glow and his head shakes, the badge shows blue electricity and changes, for a second, to the Russian Hammer and Sickle. Very interesting hint about this enemy character’s agenda…
    – When Booker first busts through the bar door. Right in front of him is a picture of a man on a horse with the statue of liberty in the background. He then looks right, looks left, and then looks straight again. When looking straight the second time, the picture is of a man, totally different. You can kind of see it transition when he begins to look left. This is not period-specific technology, and kind of bizarre.
    – When Booker is shooting his way out of the bar with the shotgun, and everyone is chasing him, they are all hooting like they were playing cowboys and indians. They don’t start doing it right away, though, only after he runs through the smoke.
    – When Booker and Elizabeth defeat the bandits on the bridge, after she ‘needs a moment’ and the Auto-Body monstrosity comes, it screams “Elizabeth!” before jumping down. I guess they can talk, at least somewhat.
    – The giant bird thing at the end sounds exactly like a big daddy, and has the same “yellow=idle, red=enraged” schema via his vision lens. Could just be a reference, also could mean game universes are linked.

    ARGH. I want to play this game right fricking now. I am going to love the skylines. Another thing I am very interested to see is what looks like a higher difficulty level — being swarmed by twenty people? Heck yeah, makes it that much scarier and that much more rewarding when you can take them down. Not to mention, I love the dynamic between Booker and Elizabeth. Absolutely love it.

    Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m sold. When you put out a special edition pack, I’m preordering.

    I just cant get enough of this video, this is probably the only demo out there that I want to play even more than some full games out there!

    When i first saw the big daddy I didn’t think it could get any better, but for this game in the skies we don’t really need a full armored monster in a diving suit but we sure need a metallic armored flying monster, way to go guys!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GAMEPLAY VIDEO!! I never thought I’d love a video game until I played BioShock!! I was over joyed when I knew Ken Levine was going to do another spin off, the genius he is! Having watched this recent video everything was there that I was desperate for except a little sister, big daddy/sister dynamic that I really hoped they will include, as well as escaping with Elizabeth!! Oh well loads of time yet Ken! HINT, HINT!! Keep up the great work IG looking forward to much more in the near future!! James

    Absolutely brilliant. Loved both Bioshocks and I’m sure I will love Infinite even more!

    So far I think expanding the choices in combat and varying it via distance, number of enemies and environment seems to be the best thing to me. The hints at the storyline leave me unable to stop thinking about the possibilities.

    I’m weirded out by Elizabeths face. She looked much more realistic in the CG trailer.
    Now she’s a bit little sister’ish because of cheekbone and jaw proportions, and huge eyes and VERY thin neck.

    It just flows so insanely well from area to area. I have a hard time believing that the entire game will be so well scripted action-wise. But then again, why shouldn’t I be surprised that this is turning out amazing? After all, Bioshock was, wasn’t it?

    I vote with my wallet. I only buy games I feel are trying to push boundaries, be creative and cross genres.

    I could use a little more RPG and a little less “shoot everything that moves”, but you’re trying, and you make great games!

    I love the idea of branching out, however I am really hoping to get to eleanor’s story. The build up in Bioshock 2 with Eleanor was great and left me wanting to figure out what happens with Eleanor. I just got done reading a post on G4’s site with a little breakdown of the teaser trailer for infinite. I really like the idea that the man in the window could be a younger Andrew Ryan who by this disillusioned society takes it a step further 27 years later and begins Rapture.
