It's almost an hour from noon...still no update on IGN?
It's funny, I don't care for IGN or critical gaming journalism, but MAN I would like to see a review today. Desperate to hear how the whole thing came together.
I'm EST, it's almost 2:00 here. I think IGN updates at 3:00? Don't hold me to it.
You'll get an email. Though, I haven't actually been emailed my key for this game yet.

You say that I will get another email than the one with the code for the game that I already got?

Anyway, got $64.43 ready for Infinite. Can't believe it's only 8 more days

No, that's a GOOD thing. If he posted at 1pm that a line for a Levine interview formed at 11:45am I'd have been furious hahaha.
I'd assume so. I only got a key for Tomb Raider so far.

Looking forward to checking this out on PC when it comes out. Haven't really been following it insanely close, just the odd article or interview. I'm pretty confident that even if it's not as amazing as everyone hopes it'll be, it'll still be well worth playing.
Correct.

Lawds, that is some gushing praise. But seriously, the force is indeed strong with this one.
"Now, going back to my original imagery comment, a player would have to be blind to miss the symbolism. We begin in the sea (the setting of the previous games), travel up a lighthouse (a phallic structure if ever there was one) which we are then shot out of in a capsule which limits the players view to a porthole that could very well represent the opening to a vagina. When we arrive, a baptism is required. This is symbolic of birth, or rather RE-birth. The manner of the baptism is much like that of Born Again Christians, and from my reading, represents the rebirth of the franchise. This is not Rapture. This isn't even Bioshock as we know it. This is Bioshock Infinite."
Love this shot.

Are there spoilers in the preview? I don't want to know "anything" about the game, I only watched the first trailer + the first gameplay extract that was released.
Thanks! Cannot wait anymore.
Thanks! Cannot wait anymore.
Damn, Liz looks really pissed.
The more the game goes on the darker it gets? first it's all good blue sky, sun and Liz is happy, dancing around and such and the more the game progresses it get's more cloudy and dark?
So hyped.

Looks that way and I truly hope that is the case.

Been going back and forth with Amazon support about the fact that I never got an Industrial Revolution code with my pre-order. On the verge of canceling my order an pre-ordering from Steam if they don't get it sorted out
Wait people are getting the codes already? I thought that stuff doesn't go out until the game has shipped
For those interested in the Wounded Knee massacre of 1890 (with which Booker participated in as a part of the Calvary) here you go:

No one stands like that either. He looks like he's getting ready to D up Lebron James.
Well that's actually a possible shooting stance.
You either have your legs shoulder width apart, like he is doing, or you do dominant leg forward, slightly bent.
His stance is a little over exaggerated, but works.

IGN:
Yes, Columbia is stunning from a scale, scope, and art-direction perspective, but on a raw graphical level it is a bit underwhelming on the Xbox 360 version I’m starting with. Textures are muddy and low-resolution and the framerate takes regular slight-but-noticeable dips. It reminds me of the console version of Dishonored in that way.
Wonder how many cancelled pre orders will this lead to?
edit: Damn you Duke.

Is IGN that ignorant? He literally just described every console game.
10/10 incoming.

Does that suddenly make it acceptable?
I have the PS3 version pre-ordered, but I am guessing it will be roughly the same. If it is on par with Dishonored performance-wise, then I will be good to go. As I had no issues.
I had no issues either so we'll see.

Thank you, based GTX 560
They can't fix severely outdated hardware no matter how much 'coding to the metal' is done.
Even games considered amazing for consoles like Uncharted series or Halo 4 have horrible textures and overall IQ.
I look at screenshots that people post and they look pretty poor.
