Is there a radial option for your guns? I mean holding down the bumper to pause the game and select different weapons. People are saying right now you're strictly limited to 2 guns on consoles and I don't believe them

I agree you'd be doing the game a disservice otherwise.

Need some benchmarks for PC to see if mah GTX570 can handle it on high/ultra settings.

I have the same card, im curious to know this too.
Only reason i ordered the 360 one was cause i got a promo code for it at 39$.
You have to unlock it first by beating the game.

I saw some footage of the PS3 version that's why.

Practically the same engine as 1 & 2 with a few tweaks correct?

No you don't. There's an unlock code. It hasn't been revealed yet, though.
Looks a shitload better than 1 & 2, so I don't know if extrapolating from those examples is wise.
I believe it's a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3. Previous Bioshocks were heavily modified UE 2.5 with some UE3 features. Maybe not a huge difference... I don't know.

Don't worry, we can both stare at the cool kids from the other side of the fence.
I heard there is a code to get it from the start, amd i hope it's true, if i have to go through a 15 hour campaign in order to unlock the mode im interested in, migh aswell watch the whole game on youtube.

how did it look
How is the PS3 version?
It's both... You can either unlock it early via the yet to be released unlock code or it'll unlock automatically after you've completed the game.

So I just want to say....I'm terrified of spoilers right now. I hear they are popping up everywhere! I'm scared... I DO NOT... want this shit spoiled.
Turn off your internet. Now. Stop reading this.
Then run.

Thats unfortunate if its the case. Most likely I will be playing on 360 first and then pc, so it would be nice to able to jump right into 1999. Plus some people like playing on the hardest difficulty on the first run through, why not give them that option?

My biggest worry actually is people posting it randomly on one of my youtube videos. Otherwise only thing I click on involving Bioshock is this thread.

Because some people might accidently select it or some shit, but there is a code.

Well it's sadly true that there is no gun radial. The manual even acknowledges it so it's not some kind of glitch or anything. I'm guessing you must be limited to 2 guns then.
Digital versions also come with a free copy of XCOM and other games. But really, wouldn't you want to experience Columbia in all her glory? The game has great art that higher resolutions and fidelity will just accentuate, and the higher framerate will make combat smoother and Skyhooking feel better.
And don't use a pad unless you want to be locked to two weapons.
PSA (once again):
1999 Mode can be unlocked via code (which hasnt been revealed yet)
or
By completing the game
Do you know how weapon upgrades work then?
Digital.

Xbox install is 6.6GB
You buy them at a vending machine. You can buy upgrades for all gun types even if you do not currently have them equipped.

Only an hour in.....
I won't say anything till I play more hours, more impressions later ~

The code is 45100. I called it.
How's the framerate?

Coolio you really want to know about move support huh.
First 30 minutes of the PS3 version in good quality, but not in English. Watch at your own risk. I have seen the intro, so I am just going to watch a bit because it's better footage.

i suppose :3
i already have it pre ordered on pc but id love to see how a game like bioshock infinite is with it, i cant think of a precedent.

I am really not concerned about a 2 weapon limit. I played Bioshock 2 all the way though the other day and only really used the Shotgun and Plasmids unless I ran out of ammo, then it was the Gatling gun.
Edit: I suppose it works like Far Cry 3, where when you pick up a weapon it changes to your upgraded version. At least I think that is how Far Cry 3 works.

Regarding any possible twists: I hope it can live up to Bioshock's. And not in that, "Oh hey, this plot has changed dramatically" but in the "Holy shit this plot has now changed the way I look at myself." Bioshock was special, it made me feel things more strongly than I would in other medium because i was a participant. It shone a light on the things I was doing, it made me question the nature of choice in games, and less so about choices in my own life. It legitimately pushed games narrative forward.
That's the thing I worry Infinite won't hit, that place where the narrative rises above what could be done with a standard narrative. I mean, the world looks cool, the themes are topical and look like they are handled deftly. I wonder though, can it push ludo narrative again, and can it make points about something wider than on the nature of games?
If it doesn't, It's looking like a really good RPG shooter, with an interesting story, but I'm not sure yet if it will be something important like the first bioshock was.

Smooth as butter so far,
if 30fps is butter
You can of course unlock framerate as well, which increases screen tear.
I hate to be one of those 'can I run it' guys, but I could easily rig my machine up to my tv, and play it with an Xbox controller, so I might as well decide now between PC and PS3.
Could someone more savvy than I advise on which option would get me more mileage?

Thanks! Looks good to me, but I can sort of see the muddiness in some areas.
