Wow, those fake spoilers demolished a whole month's worth of thread momentum.
I'm interested to see what sort of cosplayers turn up at the launch events. Booker's super easy to pull off, but I'm not sure about any other options for guys. Maybe someone's dad will cosplay Comstock.

Why ask for pirates to tell you about the game? It's out on Tuesday. If you're skeptical just wait til then.

Or just wait for that EXCLUSIVE 9.1+ fan letter review IGN is putting out on Friday

Oh, thank god. I was afraid he saw 'the spoiler' and did something... drastic.

Oh, I thought a few folks on here had legitimate copies. Never mind then. I'll wait for closer to release. Thanks.

You mean interview?
And I doubt he does, he seems like a workaholic and would stay up all hours just writing and fixing things. BUT it definitely seems to pay off. I think he really loves his craft
They were?

Me neither. I bow to his superior will-power.

What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger.
With XCOM now being offered with the pre-purchase on GMG, is that for new customers only or for those that have already taken the plunge? It isn't in the list of 'My Games'

Going by his GiantBomb interview, he still has a lot of stops. He does plan to take a long ass nap though.

I don't have confirmation as I haven't played the game. But I know in my heart of hearts that someone as narrative-focused as Levine wouldn't include such a hackneyed twist as a major plot point. It doesn't even relate thematically!
Edit: Just so we're on the same page, I'm talking about the supposed spoilers that appeared on Wikipedia and reposted on other forums.
Edit 2: Can someone create a spoiler thread so we can actually get into speculation and validity of spoilers in detail without ruining it for everyone else? I'm still 30 posts short of doing it myself.

All due respect to Levine, he did say in the GiantBomb thing that he basically finished up his work on the game back in December. Not to diminish his effort in the PR push, but it's not like he went straight from crunch to the press junket with no break.

Ok to move the talk away from all the nonsense flying around, what is it that you're looking forward to gameplay-wise? Anything that hasn't been shown that you hope is present? A take on the opposite end of the argument?
yea i thought the same thing for the sake of the game i would think kens better than such a seemingly stupid twist. I'm just looking for any hope that i didn't ruin the story for myself.
Yeah definitely. He's not directly apart of PR either.

Honestly, when I close my eyes and imagine finally actually getting to play the game, it's really just daydreaming about walking around Columbia with Elizabeth and looking at stuff. Signage, adverts, citizens... I can tell from vids that it's going to be a way more robust shooter than Bioshock was, but that stuff is just icing on the cake.

Considering the game isn't even out, there is little point to making a Spoiler thread other than to oust people who pirated the game.

If those spoilers were true, my disappointment in the writing would greatly overshadow my disappointment of having the game spoiled in advance.
I don't know about you, but I'd appreciate being able to post frankly about plot expectations without tiptoeing around the actual information we have, fake or otherwise, in this thread.

I agree about the new thread cos I want to verify if what I heard is true or if it's even the same as what everyone else here is talking about
agreed
Just explore and collect, items, vigors, voxophones and see what kinds of things Elizabeth does. If battles, then skylines. Seen enough to believe its not scripted.

TBH I am not really looking forward to gameplay all that much. I can't imagine it will be much different to previous Bioshock games. I just want to see the world, the characters, the interactions, the dialogue, story and voice acting. That stuff all plays a much much larger role than the gameplay IMO.
But if I had to pick one then the skyline rail things would be the most interesting

I'd be the first to put a spoiler thread up (though generally it's polite to let the OT creators handle it), but so far we're not seeing the level of leaks like we saw with Halo 4 to justify putting a thread up.
All putting a thread up will do is:
- Reveal pirates or put press breaking embargo's in hot water
- Tempt the rest of the Neogaf userbase, as well as offer a source of info that can easily spill onto this/other discussions
In the end, it isn't worth it. If you want to PM information out from those who ask, that's fine.
What we should be doing now is moving the conversation away from that particular topic and just focus on the speculation and gameplay.
The night Bioshock Infinite releases, or if the spoilers explode on Halo 4/COD levels and I get permission to, I'll put a spoiler thread up if Andrew, Cystm, and the rest don't want to handle it. If a mod gives me the go ahead, I'll do it right at the word. I just don't see enough out there yet to warrant a thread being needed.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Looking forward to playing the game, Shawn. Glad it's finally coming out.
I'm breaking my sojourn for just a moment to post this: BioShock Infinite soars onto Mac this summer.

Wait how can pirates be playing it? I thought it was steamworks? Unless we're talking about console piracy.
Thank you! Can't wait for you to play it.

Apparently the ps3 version leaked?

The wait is killing me! I thought I would bail this thread but I haven't.
I can see this character being my favorite of the entire year. I'm so fascinated to know who she is, I just learned her name yesterday (Elizabeth, not the actress). I really don't know shit about this game, been paying attention to too many other things and this one just kind of creeped up on me.

True about the story-related content being the focus over gameplay, but didn't know if folks wanted the shooting to be tightened up a bit or the U-invents to return in some capacity.
I definitely don't want the research camera to return. Too much of a grind at times to revisit.
I can't wait to hear the rest of her work in the game. Just has one of those voices.
Yes, a Playstation 3 version of the game somehow leaked. I'm not sure how Irrational handled the review copies though to know what the likeliest avenue was.

I'd like to see a research system of some kind, but I get why people didn't like taking pictures. It was annoying to have to interrupt combat just so you could try to get a good action shot. Something closer to SS2 would be welcome, where it's passive but because the research items & elements do take up inventory slots, it's a tradeoff between short-term convenience and long-term payoff.

Her presence even in the few trailers I watched is just endearing. I am very much looking forward to spending time in game with her as an AI.
I loved the Parts of HL2 Ep1 where you were with Alyx.
Ugh, hated that thing. It should have just been assigned to a button, and not taken a weapon slot. So clunky.
Some off-screen ps3 footage, looks good to me.

How did the research work in SS2? Do you just find research material as you wander around the world?
That I wouldn't be opposed to.
