Bioshock Infinite - Ken Levine Interview (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

[15GamingGuy]

Im hoping this is early 2012, but it isnt likely is it?

[mafiadaimensalathe]

@15GamingGuy i hope so to am so wating for this

[TheHeretic28]

As long as the games is as thematically interesting as bioshock 1 was, I'll be happy.

[JoeyYNWA]

The best storyteller in the business.

[awilhelmscream98]

songbird sounds like a bigdady

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

Hm...I think I have a great Idea for a 'Plasmid'!

Mind reverse: It reverse's one's ideology to be the complete opposite! So if you're fighting 12 Vox populi you could use it to turn them into Founders, so instead of Me vs 12 Vox, it's Me vs 6 Vox vs 6 Founders.

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

I wonder what the moral choices are in this game? My guess is that there's going to be 2 moral axis's: 'harvest' (evil) vs 'exorsise' (good) (some moral choice like that, probably has something to do with how you treat Elizibeth) and 'allying' a faction (as in, not killing as much, killing more of the opposing faction, ect). While I don't expect the founders ever hugging me, I do expect situations were I have to choose a preference in a Vox's ideals and a Founder's. (To be continued)

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@StuffedAnimalPlanet For instance, I see 2 men fighting. One's a Vox, the other a Founder. I could either

A) Leave them alone and get no reward or punishment.

B) Kill the Founder, and the Paras...I mean the Vox, not knowing I'm Dewitt, will give me 4 Eve hypos.

C) Kill the Vox, and the Founder, also not knowing who I am, will give me 40$.

D) Kill them both, and I get a small amount of loot in their bodies.

[themtndew360]

game war cod vs bioshock lol...big daddy crushes skulls ..song bird picks up a tank and throws it.

[iwillfollow24]

2012 the year of gaming heven of why must we wait so long....pff economy

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@iwillfollow24 I hope the economy gets better soon, or Homefront is gonna become a reality!

[iwillfollow24]

so true hahahhaha

[boyODD]

The stories Bioshock tell as a whole and the ideas and beliefs it set forthe are phenominal...

[ballsbaby123]

only the best game of all time XD

[TheEvilCheat]

srew you this stupid vid won't buffer.

[WAGGADOODLE]

trolololol tits trolololol

[imranjaved123]

thank GOd they came out from water...

[Thaibiohazard123]

The best singleplayer franchise of all times

[timothe221]

The elizabeth's power look damn weird for the gameplay i hope its not gonna be too complicated or too easy when in combat

[g5icleb]

how do we skip the fucking ads!

[PipWinsForever]

@g5icleb adblock plus, a firefox and google chrome addon

[R2carde]

I love it at 6:10 when he claps right as the guy gets hit :3

[xcgillx2]

it looks good... it sounded like he was talking about multiplayer campaign

[4An0n]

@xcgillx2 nope. not gonna happen.

[godstriker64]

@xcgillx2 naw a Bioshock game made by Irrational doesnt need multiplayer to make it better.

[Avgen14126]

I thought it said "Fucking Bronco" behind that dude.

[TheChillyAcademicIV]

@Avgen14126

It's "Bucking Bronko" a new "Vigor" (Plasmid basically)

[cuswco97]

fucking ads wtf!

[LordRaymondx]

Lol teasing us with the same video over and over again.

[R2carde]

This will show all these Bioshock haters what there missing >:D

[au25]

@R2carde oh yes whati am missing is that they made more gay than before

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@R2carde There are bioshock haters? I mean, I know not everyone particularly likes bioshock, but I have yet to see one person who despises it.

[LonelyIslandKid09]

GOTY 2012:Bioshock Infinite

[KaiserBecks]

For fucks sake, Levine. Stop making this Bioshock crap and give us a new System Shock already.

[au25]

@KaiserBecks couldnt agree more.

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@KaiserBecks You realize that 'fuck' is a verb and not a noun, right? JK :)

Anyway, Bioshock 1, 2, and infinite basicaly are System Shock 4,5,6. It's a spiritual succesor, like TNG Star trek was to the original series, or like Megaman X was to the Classic Megaman. In other words, for better or for worse, a System Shock game won't come around anytime soon. Personally, I love Bioshock, but I've never played SS, so I wouldn't know. Sorry dude. :(

[KaiserBecks]

@StuffedAnimalPlanet Yes, of course, I also realize that "fucks" is not the plural of "fuck".Sometimes I'm just to lazy to use an apostrophe. Regarding System Shock: Yes, the "shock" in"Bioshock"indicates that it is a successor to SS. The only problem is, that it's nowhere near SS.Bioshock focuses too much on storytelling. I love the art design and the world they've created for the game,but the actual gameplay is crap compared to System Shock 2. Infinite looks promising, but its very different.

[ZENXMETAL]

I can't wait give me the fucking demo already.

[FreakinSweet1987]

Anyone who doesn't thumb this video up for the boobs alone is a communist!

[AngelsFury69]

cant wait to see the special editons of this game O.O

[ableman8]

she has nice BOOBS

[aaronfryingpan99]

[aaronfryingpan99]

[Cashmachinez]

@toxictoad28 Pokefreakguy said : MW3!! watch?v=zPTZRxmZkvI and he said look at all the fuck i dont give..

Mikejclark said :Im really tired of all these fps games. and u see the the other top comment said, ur welcome. its best o look bad the same time the comment up top was made 16 hour ago

[Cashmachinez]

I agree... abusive relationships are indeed quite complex

[wordtothemothers191]

Someone wanna tell me why the fuck there is an Olive Garden ad at the start of my video? IM BRITISH!

[toxictoad28]

@wordtothemothers191 Same here, the answer is youtube is gay.

[GrandChamp1989]

This game makes me excited about the FPS genre again.

[KalikaPheonix]

The idea of Elizabeth is really cool.

[CL2movies]

Can't see ths from my Ipad!

[djzah]

@CL2movies because of the ad

[Ledco15]

fuck sake stop putting some annoying bitch following you around in the game didnt they learn from those stupid little sisters in bioshock 2. i want it just me running around the map blowing motherfuckers heads off

[onedeadcrow666]

@Ledco15 Go and play COD then!

[Dannyboy90ify]

@Ledco15 ? Sorry but Systemshock and it´s successor Bioshock were always about story and atmosphere..."blowing motherfuckers heads off" is not really what they should be going for...

[TheChillyAcademicIV]

@Ledco15

Levine never made Bioshock 2, and it's already been stated Elizabeth will never be in your way but honestly if you came to Bioshock to "blow motherfuckers heads off" then go play some other FPS like CoD or something along thos elines.

[SAMHOUSTON56]

This game looks beautiful...underwater oasis is bad ass but in the clouds is over the top...

[MrRiggyRiggs]

Love the Bioshock series, very fun FPS....

[bigjigyeah]

This game looks so badass

[halo6534]

4:53 haha voice crack from a 30 year old man :)

[FuumetsuPhoenix]

Why i cant see anymore any gamespot video in my phone?

[lemonlimelukey]

@FuumetsuPhoenix cuz ur phone sucks?

[hottekerstbabe]

how many people thought it was Fucking Bronco at first? xD haha..sick minds

[VUKASKO96]

Nice tits.

[myshoescramp]

@VUKASKO96 You know you're degrading the social and intellectual level of everyone around you.

[VUKASKO96]

@myshoescramp Just Sayin' ...

[SeeleyBooth1990]

Well... It will be intresting to see how the overall story unfolds, that's assured.

[XxAlmsivixX]

Oh look,it's Steve Carell...! :)

Anyways, this looks great, I need this game so bad

[stewart113]

Steampunk ftw :)

[BlizzardGamification]

jesus big fan of big daddy bought bioshock 2 and its was horrid crap mutiplayer was a junk as rojak shit laggy shit ass game -.- compared to the first such a big fail i so dissapointed , hope this could reedeem it

[BigPeaUK]

Olive garden advert? I live in the UK! Ive never even seen an olive garden in my life!

[BlizzardGamification]

@BigPeaUK lol looks yummy too bad im live in singapore

[Sammy470]

@BlizzardGamification

why? are there no games there??

[vegetaover9000]

@Sammy470 he was talking about olive garden

[kalanovski]

They should keep the MW2 multiplayer and just make new maps and get the overpowered explosives out..

[fudgelovinhippy]

MW3 is going to be left in the dust during this Game of The Year competition

[Squeege14]

@fudgelovinhippy Have you played MW3? no? havee you seen a demo? oh wait not that either? have you at least seen enough gameplay to form a solid opinion? i guess not.. I don't see how you can hate on a game that you know nothing about.. it just makes no sense..

[fudgelovinhippy]

@Squeege14 I've played both games and it's always the same every year with them winning the GOTY even thought the reviews are fixed so they won't upset any fans. you see this game is no doubt going to be boring, in fact i'm going to pre-order this game but all I'm trying to say is that they should pick something else rather than this like Bioshock, Batman, Portal 2, UC3, Infamous 2, Future 3Ds games and many more. so there is quite a few unique and fantastic game rather than COD Modern Warfare 3

[jay1page]

@fudgelovinhippy it won't improve on any thing I fore see

[fudgelovinhippy]

@jay1page True but it could involve something that hasn't been added in other multiplayer games, yet i'm sick of these Realistic games! Bring on TimeSpltters 4 I say! Come on Crytek you got something planed!

[Firestorm2154]

@fudgelovinhippy True as that would hypothetically believe, it's irrelevant. MW3 is getting released this year, BioShock next year.

[Firestorm2154]

@fudgelovinhippy hypothetically be*

[TheRandomCentral]

@fudgelovinhippy

Infinite comes out in 2012

[fudgelovinhippy]

I just completed Bioshock 2 yesterday, so i'm excited for this!

[zeldaofarel]

This is going to be so cool. I also can't wait to read the novel.

[MrGimpyLoser]

Quake 1 slipgate is deeper then this game =)

[oakfire12]

this guy knows what he is doing. we need more people like him working inthe industry

[DannyOMFGEE]

@oakfire12 exactly. but most ppl in the industry just wanna make a lot of money even if the quality is not the best.

[ERyder92]

Bioshock Infinite is going to be BEAST!

[thew00ted]

fuck new ads system...

[MonsterSlayer14]

it looked like a wierd alice in wonderland sort of thing at first

[Souvikdude]

I thought Booker T was in WWE... ?? xD

[nitinlkoin1984]

props to the guy for focusing on single player in a FPS

[SlapHappyJesus]

@nitinlkoin1984 Ken Levine is one of the greats. Apart from being one of the more talented designers of games to be founds nowadays, he has never forgotten about how great singleplayer experiences can be, and has always embraced this in his games. He is not one to rest on his laurels either. Remember, this is the guy that turned down doing another direct installment of his Bioshock series. Cut to 4 years later, he gives us this. A total reimagining of the series. Gotta love this guy.

[SonofRa47]

awww fuck

she better help out a lot

her AI better be spot on i dont like games that require you to use a partner, takes away from the experience IMO

i think being alone is more scary and immersive

[TheInfinite91]

@SonofRa47 I agree, but hopefully there will be large portions of the game where you are alone, and some portions where Elizabeth will be by your side.

[85000]

i dont want a fking blackberry or a HTC phone!

[pryo360]

can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

[FourthPersonView]

Booker T is the main character? #LOL

[archdevilneverfails]

this game is gonna suck hard

[kemando12]

whats with all the new videos? some sort of conference or something? o.0

[tonypipboy21]

why youtube glitches at the 302 viewer??

[LuffyGears2]

This looks amazing and I haven't even played Bioshock yet.

[Asiankidagain]

Holy shit is this guy a genius?

[Badbro95]

idk, I'm all for story. This game seems to twist the bioshock tradition a bit. (not because of setting) but because the story involves you using some chick when ud usually have a useless little girl who drains adam from pppl

[Asiankidagain]

*ucking Broncos?

[FEARfilmz]

I don't get why people keep saying stuff like "its not scary". I don't believe the guy in the video ever said they were trying to be scary...

[CupboardNinja]

@FEARfilmz They said they're using new techniques to make it scary even though it's all bright. So it's still probably gonna be eerie.

[betomendoza022]

@JJLOL360 i know what you mean, but at the same time, its like they are teasing us giving us a video every two months of a game we are going to play maybe in a year and a half.

Also, bioshock 2 comes out in 2010 and 3 months later they release to the internet this amazing video about a new bioshock in the skies, you finish watching it and it says: TBA 2012... This marketing strategies dont work with me, they piss me off

[BLACKBINLATIN]

@betomendoza022

true its pretty damn stupid to promote a game that comes out next year sometime but on the other hand they could just be seeing what people want in the game what there thawts were from the trailer to try to make improvements and get what people may want or expect to see in the game in this period of time for beta release and after, they make gameplay improvements for final i guess

[vespers119]

i want this.

[DipKins33]

@PokeFreakGuy dont put that shit on a bioshock video

[wootsausemanman]

@PokeFreakGuy look at all the fuck i dont give

[SharabTi]

@wootsausemanman Wow! That's a lot of fuck!

[Squeege14]

@wootsausemanman you just inspired me for lyrics for a song

[Devilazer]

He reminds me a teeny bit like Steve Carell.

[DayLight95]

Doesn't look scary.... Looks like a Disney game.

[remaker3]

@DayLight95 Bioshock was never scary, or a horror game, it was a FPS/RPG-ish game set in a dark toned environment

[Grimmomega]

@remaker3

Yeah. Don't know why people call it horror. It's just a dark, depressing atmosphere.

[TheLeggio]

@DayLight95 If you are looking for a horror game, then you are looking at the wrong franchise. The first two had a scary feel because of the ambient environments. This is a different setting. Go play dead space or fear or something.

[xmonke55]

@DayLight95 they did that on purpose, it's supposed to be like you're in this perfect city that was created to be like a paradise but there are secret creepy behind the scenes things going on and everything is just too perfect, kinda like how a nuke town can be freaky

[JJLOL360]

@betomendoza022 (devs) Hey lets not be like ourselves and release a game that wont be good. Or be can wait a little and make it a million times better for the player. I think i would rather have a good well done game then a shit rushed game.

[TheTACOBOYZ1]

shes like jack

[redmar79]

This game looks amazing. Bioshock is so good.

[MmhGanja]

kids game... and so many kids below.. 

[xEternal95x]

@MmhGanja Are u fucking serious?

Have u even tried the first and second one?

[MmhGanja]

@xEternal95x uhm.. the 2nd one was made by another studio, i dont count that as a real sequel

[muzicrox]

Looking forward to playing :)

[au25]

The ideas this guy has are good but the way he delivered them in the previous 2 games was not very good.

[THEMA1LMAN]

@au25 if you're talking about bioshock 2, he didnt make that...

[wootsausemanman]

@THEMA1LMAN alot of people from irrational worked on bioshock 2

[THEMA1LMAN]

@wootsausemanman is Ken Levine's name "alot of people"???

[redmar79]

@au25 BS, Fable was a failure Bioshock is genius!

[Cashmachinez]

@redmar79 Did you play Fable 3?... that game was such a joke compared to the FIRST and second.. omg i dont like fable anymore.. :( I love Bioshock now though after playing the first one its scary as fuck! and just how i like it.

[8maxthemax8]

@au25 agreed

[ahc1230]

cant wait

[dazhealey]

fuck the system!

[mikejclark]

I'm getting really tired of FPS games..which sucks.

[g0uveia1]

@mikejclark go for terraria then or something else..no one is forcing you to play FPS. this genre is actually one of the most popular and top sellers, so they are here to stay.

[TheLeggio]

@mikejclark I'm not getting tired of FPS games. I'm getting tired of multiplayer modern day military shooters. Luckily, this is not one of them.

[LuffyGears2]

@TheLeggio I feel you dude, all this modern day camping and no-scoping bullshit makes me feel like I have Tourette Syndrome.

[jake10846]

@TheLeggio So true :)

[SomeTotalRandom]

@mikejclark this isnt like ur typical FPS is verry different and fun

[au25]

Seth Green Is that you dude?

[BlindHunte]
