One month from today: BioShock Infinite

Checking in here for my daily dose of hype. I need my fix!

It's heartening to see so many Bioshock Infinite threads on GAF today. Talk of performance issues and arguments about exclusvie reviews not so much, but at least the game is getting a lot of attention.

We are a passionate bunch. :)
 
If I pre-ordered the game from Green Man Gaming would I get the key in time to pre-load? Never bought something from them before release!

Wait until they have the keys (they usually get them before release), they have a habit of taking longer to fill orders placed before they get keys than those who order after they have them.
I ordered Darksiders 2 from them and people were getting their orders filled two day before I got mine despite having preordered a month before hand.

Now I'm wondering if it'll be unlocked by the time I wake up.

If they get the keys early you will. All depends on when they receive them.
 
It was an artwork of him in front of a brick wall with Elizabeth. It was the placeholder art at Best Buy for a while.

Bingo, that was my favorite look for Booker too. I admit it might be because it was the first time I ever saw him, that was back when the game was first revealed circa summer 2010. I can't connect that version of him to the guy on the front of the box.

I was at Gamestop preordering Monster Hunter and paying off Luigi's Mansion and overheard the clerk say, "Hey, we're doing a midnight launch for Infinite. Get here at 11:30! We'll be playing the game!"

NOBODY ASKED FOR THAT! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THAT?!

At my local Gamestops, the workers open everything and play it in the back as soon as the shipments come in. I've gotten shrink wrapped pre-orders with fingerprints on the disc.

When SWTOR launched, the manager was there at midnight in full Sith gear with Darth Maul contact lenses.

Nothing would surprise me.

I don't get the midnight thing that must really stink for the employees to come in to do that why can't they just wait till 10am.

He looks exactly the same except for the fact that the 5 o'clock shadow is dark in this art and one looks hand drawn while the other looks 3D. I don't see the big design difference between the two.

Are you Himuro's new account? Because I remember that guy literally refused to see the difference between FFX's high poly and low poly face models.

When I was managing two, yes two, EBs at the same time I had to do numerous midnight launches. They are HUGE in college towns and generate a lot of revenue. But I never did anything so dumb as to say, "HEY GUYS! WHILE YOU WAIT IN LINE, LET US SPOIL THE GAME FOR YOU! AWESOME, RIGHT?!"

Yeah that I don't get whatsoever why spoil the game.
 
The bar jumped up almost 25% today alone. I'm calling this rigged.

Not a bad thing, if true.

Well the TV advert did just air so it would make sense that the game is selling better than in the past few weeks, I guess we'll find out if its all rigged if Defiance makes it to its third goal.
 
So have there been any hard details on the season pass? Is it going to just be something like the Little Sister protection trials from BS2 or is it story content?
 
So I'm not familiar with these type of deals on steam. Do you have to preorder before they hit 100% in order to get the bonuses, or will it be available to everyone else afterwards?

It's going to be original material that will be divested into three parts (or episodes). Just like BioShock Infinite, its creative lead will be Ken Levine (Edit: for two of the episodes). The other part will be completed by another party.

Thanks for the clarification, i_am_not_jon_ames!

Modern Warfare 2
Midnight Launch
Gamestop

The place smelled like shit and old subway, no fan on and it's all stuffy as hell. Then there were these wierd guys who looked like they havn't seen the sun in ages. That was a rough ass midnight launch

No Mas....No Mas
 
95%, i no longer think these things are really rigged.

Yeah I was looking at other games that had preorder incentives the other day and found that Painkiller Hell and Damnation never reached its third tier (A free copy of Painkiller Black). I guess that's counts as a kink in the pipe of our theory on rigged preorders.

Thread Announcement:

Where did you find that? I tried searching for info on Painkiller's tiers some time ago but found nothing to suggest its second and third rewards weren't unlocked.
 
I was watching some of the videos of the Voice-actors (after discovering the video of the "Will the Circle be Unbroken).


I really hope at some panel or something, they release some of the different takes of the voice actors, I would love to know how much they actually recorded.

I am about to go into black-out mode. This is probably my Most Anticipated game of the year, and I DO Not want anything to be ruined.
