Half-Life 3 then.
I'm guessing we'll see some reviews next week (such as magazine reviews). However, I don't expect the embargo to lift until the 25th.
Hopefully, I'm wrong as several games this year have had reviews earlier than usual.

My bet is a week from today, just like GOW:A and I expect a warmer reception than that game got.

It's gone up by 15-17% in the past 24 hours I think, and it's 2nd place on Steam. Looks a lot better than last week.

That show was, is and will forever be the ultimate music video for one of the best bands ever.
I used to have that very scene animated, smoke and all, as my cell phone's wallpaper.
got a new phone and no GIFs for wallpapers sucks...
that's salsa doing his work

Last night I dreamt that I was playing Infinite. If you have any questions about the game ask away.
I feel like a broken record.
We are operating on the theory that Valve controls the unlocks.
No game has ever failed to unlock.
It would be detrimental to the entire business model if one game ever failed.
Don't worry. XCOM will be unlocked.
For example. The sales for Defiance are going down, game isn't even in the top 50 sellers for Steam.
Yet its pre order tier bar is going up at an increased rate.
Its gone up 10% in the last couple of days, but the amount of sales have decreased.
I think they changed it since then.
This makes more sense.
If you would look up... Would you see Booker's hand/skyhook on the rail? Please say yes.

Bad quality but still good little TV spot. Although it ended quite abruptly. Fires his gun in the Handy man and kills it, would of been better if he killed it then turns around there were more of them.

I said this earlier in the thread but if I remember right, I don't think Painkiller HD unlocked all 3 tiers.
I think it's more like the higher the tier, the less unit it requires to sell.

There was a segment on Bioshock Infinite on Playstation Access this week. Interview with Ken Levine, Drew Holmes and Shawn Robertson.
Looks like most of the footage was from the the city in the sky trailer, except for the bit at the very end of the interview which I cant quite pinpoint. Can anyone remember if we've seen it before?

That is from the Lamb of Columbia trailer
Okay that is one amazing trailer. And with that I bow out of any more pre-release media ha.
That's why I'd like a directors cut for the next gen. Release the original vision they had for the game.
Nah. If they didn't want it, then it's probably not worth it.
Surrrre buddy. That's what the art book is for =P
I remember them mentioning they had the game set in the Renaissance. I hope some of the art assets are shown in that unless it was just on paper.

Thanks for this, I do find his interviews to be really fascinating and entertaining.
Most of the cut content will probably find it's way into dlc. I mean, this game never really struck me as the season pass type. Reclaim, Reuse, Recycle
I dont think so. One of the recent interviews Sn4ke posted had Levine saying that the majority of the content scrapped like weapons, enemies etc will be able to be seen in the art book that gets released. They scrap the ideas that they as a team feel dont fit the universe obviously. Theres no reason for them to go sifting through what they threw away knowing how much perfection that team bleeds. What they tossed clearly wasnt good enough to them or a good fit in the universe. I doubt it will ever show up in DLC or a Directors Cut.
Why can't they be in both?
Edit: if it's just art assests I take it back. Of course a lot of design work gets canned.

This whole "we threw away 5 games worth of content" has been blown way out of proportion. It's not like they had dozens of fully playable levels and scrapped them.
Creating something like colombia involves a lot of trial and error, of course they had to redesign it a ton of times before it felt right, which means throwing away lots of art and assets. Same goes for the characters, they had a ton of iterations before settling with the final design for the songbird for example.
And people seem to think the development cycle was abnormaly long but it was even longer for the first bioshock. God only knows how long it took to come up with rapture's final design and how much work was thrown away in the process.
Ken Levine sticks to his guns and that's what makes him great. The game wouldn't be the same without Elizabeth, I'm glad he didn't give in to the pressure to cut her from the game. Getting it right was hell and prolonged the development but if it's a great idea the director has to fight for it.

Awesome sauce. Thank you.
If only he didn't listen to people on covering her up.
It's a mix huh. I guess they just started on it.

how come booker's arm isn't ripped out of its socket when he jumps onto a skyrail from a high height?
