Hrm, I thought it was something announced well into development.
I'd be really happy if this truly ends up as a way to have choices have real consequence, even to the point of totally screwing you.
One month from today: BioShock Infinite
- Thread starter Andrew.
- Start date

Do you mean to the point of completely breaking a playthrough?

Those are worse, actually.
They don't have all of the ads but they're totally half assed.
Too bad.

I'm still hoping that all of the Steam preorder bonuses get unlocked, but it's not looking good...

We're still 21 days out from release, that's plenty of time.
Steam preorders usually go way slower than console preorders since they're digital and you don't need to have it shipped out ahead of time. I'm sure that bar will shoot up the last week before launch.

I hope so, a free copy of X-Com is pretty tempting.
Resident Evil 6 is close to having all of its preorder bonuses unlocked...

I cant even remember that.
I hope there are zero hacking mini games in this one. So far it looks very good but still, I'll wait for reviews.
Someone should help those people who are falling off that building.

I wanted to prepuchase on GMG, but my attempts at ordering have all failed. I was able to get Tomb Raider from the site, but after that nothing works. Oh well. I guess I'll prepurchase on Steam even though I don't care about the TF2 items. X-COM looks interesting. I'm sure it'll reach that level before the game releases.
For anyone who has prepurchased on Steam: Do the awards unlock when the game releases or can I download BioShock right after purchasing? I haven't played it on PC and I'd like to run through it before Infinite comes out.

You should get it right away. Also, you should sell the TF2 items on Steam Marketplace if you don't care about them.

Thanks for the response! I was thinking everything would unlock on the day of release, but this makes me more willing to pull the trigger.
Just to reiterate what En Ex said, you'll receive the nominated reward/s as each tier reaches its end goal. I can attest to this and the store page states as much:
It's also worth noting that, upon receiving the TF2 items (you'll need to run TF2 for them to unlock), you may have to wait a few days before they become tradeable.

The one with Booker and Elisabeth falling with the date is some really well done key art.
Beautiful. Love the image of Booker and Elizabeth falling from the sky.

Yeah, Genuine items (the quality the TF2 items for Bioshock Infinite preorders will be) generally aren't tradable/sellable/craftable until after the game comes out.

i'm not sure who is looking forward to march 26 more, me or my girlfriend, if only to stop me from going on & on & on & on & on about the game.

Well, certainly to the point where the game can still be completed, but maybe at a degree of difficulty or forcing you to use an approach you really weren't expecting or wanting.
I support this. Still am curious as to how unlocking 1999 is going to come about.
Less than three weeks guys!
I thought it was unlocked from the get go. It's not?
Someone at Irrational (mightve been Levine, I dont remember) said that there was going to be some sort of special way of unlocking it, even from the get go I believe. Could be some button input code at the title screen, who knows. It sounds awesome though.

We should start seeing some combat stuff by next week. I know that isn't the big draw for everyone and I'm sure the shoot-bang opponents will worm out of the woodwork, but it's large part of the game.
Vigor, gear, flow of combat...just need some solid information on the basics since all the changes went into effect. Don't need to know about combatting particular enemies or anything, just the fundamentals.

I'm taking a combat trailer anyday over a story one.
NO MORE STORY SPOILERS PLEASE!
also, looks like we get a few more until release.

I thought we were going to see something tomorrow or Friday, but that may not be happening.
The author of the recent 1999 Mode blog post is one IG.Ratana. Also, it's been over a week since it went up and the Steam store page still states that 1999 Mode is unlocked only after completing the game.
Works for me. Dat replay value.
Dude you must change that avatar every few days. Who is that?
I had my previous avatar for around a month, which is probably the longest I've gone without changing it.
The features lass is, as always, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.You don't need to complete the game to access the mode. There is a code you can input.
Finally confirmation about that, thanks a lot!

Queue iconic late '90s gaming reference that sends the old school into a jizzcopter, much like I did in BS1 with
Not really related to late '90's gaming but the reference was amazing. Nice one, Irrational. I still wonder how many people had to google that.
The door code that was the date of Australia Day.

That image of Booker and Elizabeth falling is great.
Btw, has anyone figured out the name of the song at 20 seconds in for the Lamb of Columbia trailer? I know the second song in there is "Save my Soul". It's driving me and apparently a lot of people on Youtube crazy trying to figure it out!

It sounds it could be a rendition of "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" which might been created just for the game but I don't know!

Not sure how they'd implement it in a title screen, but I've got a hunch it's a certain 4-digit code...
UUDDLRLRBA Start?
You'd be a fool NOT to try inputting it at the title screen ;P
Check it out, another 80s reference. This game man...

Great news, this is really how I want to approach the game the first time.
Great read. Thanks Vire!
If that just happened once throughout the entire game, as an Easter Egg, it might be my favorite Easter Egg of all time.
That's the first Crecente article I've ever read (that I'm aware of). Not bad.

99% just typo.
Interesting read. Thanks.
Typo. Sorry about that. Fixed.
