You guys are awsome! :D

@DirectorKilburn Thank you! ;)

This is such great interview! The interviewers are very informed and intelligent! As a hardcore fan of the series I really enjoyed this, it's a shame it doesn't have so many more views!

[GoWBlog]

@ssurgeon00 Thank you so much! You've no idea how much that means to us. ;)

I have already watched a lot of interviews with Ken Levine about the news things that are coming in the "Infinite" game, but your video is one of the most complete ones out there. Congratulations =]

And yeah, i'm getting really excited about Bioshock Infinite too =]

@Amyr28go

Thanks! =D

[Mr4pp]

Probably one of the best interviews out there, thanks! :3

@ssurgeon00 series? What series? So far there's only been one Bioshock game (that crap from California never happened). Once Infinite comes out we can talk about series, but for now you're kinda jumping the gun.

Unless GoWBlog does some sort of interview series that I know nothing about. If that's the case then I guess I'll defer to your experience.

@Disabilities4 I have mixed feelings about bioshock 2. On the one hand it was wonderful to rediscover rapture ten years on from the events of the original bioshock, and it remains a must for any true bioshock fan, while on the other hand, it´s hard to play the game without constantly feeling that bioshock 2 missed the mark by a considerable distance. I digress... You should check out the Irrational interview with Ken Levine and Guillermo Del Toro, on the irrational website.

@shakemeshakeme

i dont think bioshock 2 was that bad kind of shitty how they copied alot of things from the first one such as pacing and trying to remake an andrew ryan personality was a huge failure but the dlc minervas den was kinda cool definately a better story..the game could of been alot worse

[thepocarisweat]

Love SWAT4. Really wish they'd follow up on that. Ken Levine and his colleague's output puts most developers to shame.
