Cool, I'll read it. My reasoning has nothing to do with Uncharted or Dudebro or any of that bullshit. To me, it doesn't give the slightest inclination of what the game is about.

Here are a few samples:

Warning about the first video, it contains gameplay footage where that track crops up, as well as ties in with one of the story elements.
Just in case you've been on a blackout.

And here's a recording session for the soundtrack between Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper (VAs for Booker and Elizabeth): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOS74tXnWEM

I can't believe that they tried to charge for this. It reads like a fan fic...
He said this at BAFTA.
Ken Levine: "We don't compromise our games, but we may have to compromise on stuff like covers, or marketing in general".
done! Thanks!!

Do you mean you think that a bunch of people are going to buy it based on the cover and then come post here about how they were fooled by a "man with gun" picture?
Check out the "Cover art and Fratboys" vid in the Ken section. Its reiterated, but in a better way.
I dont know why Im telling you this, Im sure youve seen it all already =P
Definitely, I really hope levine just pitched the idea ( which isn't too bad ) and they hired some crappy writer to do it.

I am curious about Move support for the PS3 version. Anything on that?
Also about the 2011 E3 demo,
Also about the 2011 E3 demo,
will the game still have segments where you are pulled into the 1980s? Or any time traveling.

Me too. My hype period for Bioshock 1 was mercifully brief, because I didn't really pay much attention to it until I read a big preview article in EGM about three months before release. From that point on, I went nuts. I just dug that old mag out the other day... meeeemories.
But I've been waiting for Infinite since goddamn summer 2010. Wheeeeee!

I'm glad there isn't one. Getting blue balls once the demo ends, only to have to wait another week for the game to ship would be pure agony
It's on its way too. Will post pics ASAP.
I feel the same anticipation from that 2007 release. It's making me nostalgic and slightly emotionally distraught, at the same time. It feels like we're on the eve of a huge release, and one that could potentially affect how stories are crafted in the FPS genre. And Columbia! Blissful sky exploration!
I'm jealous, I'd love the money to buy one, they are so cool. Why aren't they an actual thing?
We honestly need a game like that right about now. Something that people will still be playing and talking about years from now. Let's hope it delivers that kind of experience, but I'll still settle for just a great game.
Only one way to find out. Oh and make a back up save.
When was the last time a game released that had a BioShock sized impact on the industry and the way stories were told?
Well, the first one certainly qualifies. Especially in regards to first person shooters. Hopefully this one has at least that sort of reception or maybe even ends up on the same level as something like Half-Life 2. We desperately need another game to make that sort of impact, and this is as good a contender to do it as we are likely to get anytime soon.
Spec Ops should have been that game. Sadly, it was ignored by the majority.
It's fallible, brief, but effective. I don't think it reads like fan fiction. As strictly a preorder incentive for creating a context for Columbia, it works fine. It's one of the better tie-in products I've seen.
Is it still enjoyable if you know every ending ?
Kinda spoiled myself a few months ago.

"Enjoyable" isn't a word I'd associate with Spec Ops: The Line

The Bioshock 1 demo came out exactly one week before launch,. I didn't really have any "blue balls" from it, because it was so close to the full game. I played it at least once per night that week. Probably a lot more if I had to be honest... I wouldn't have minded the same thing for Infinite.
I remember the first thing I did when first I logged into XBL after setting up my first 360 in the summer of 2006 was download the Bioshock 1 teaser. The one where it's from the POV of a random splicer getting killed by a Big Daddy. And after watching it, I thought "Oooooh... so you play as the huge guy in the diving suit, not the regular guy. Interesting."
Wow was it only a week? It sure felt like a month...damn.

Spec Ops tells a unique story in the medium, but the way it tells it doesn't come close to Bioshock's use of innumerable tiny details crammed into every corner of Rapture, IMO.

Very unlucky of you. But still, its something you should experience.

It's "interesting." I appreciate how choices are made through gameplay, something I hope bioshock does. I swear if there's a giant DO GOOD SHIT or DO EVIL SHIT. I am going to burst out laughing.
There will be plenty of choices you have to make throughout the game. Some will be timed so you better react fast.

I'm I the only one who thinks that the HUD is too tiny? Anyway to adjust that in the final game? Console versions specifically, I literally have to squint to read or make out anything. Never had that problem with any game.
So how is the game running on the ps3?

From what we've read in interviews regarding an event with an interracial couple, it is that exactly.

Funny, because I thought the HUD was intrusive in the combat videos.
The good news is you can disable most of it.
I dunno about scaling it.

That's only one choice though. There are at least two other instances I've seen where the choice isn't so black & white (morally at least).
What you did there, I seen it.
