Wtf.....? A bioshock NOT in rapture? Not under water? That seems to be the case in What seems to be Bioshock 3.

Have a looky.

Yaya, sure, I'm 34 now let me see the video.

But seriously this looks pretty interesting.

Called it!

More exploration of the world of Bioshock. Not necessarily in Rapture. For example, the games always go on about how the 'surface world' is after Rapture's secrets. Well, what if somewhere had gotten some of them? Adam slugs could've been captured, smuggled, and raised elsewhere. Surely Ryan didn't gather ALL the smart people in the world. Following this idea would allow for plasmids developed for different places, along different lines. You could fight different enemies with different weapons. Perhaps even less humanoid ones.
*sigh*
Wishful thinking, I know, but it would still be nice.

From my Bioshock 2 review. Maybe the thinking wasn't quite so wishful after all. ^_^


This isn't 2K though, is it? Certainly looks good in the trailer, but I wonder how they'll match up. Guess we'll see.

The developer of this is Irrational Games...

Which is the developer Insomniac has been using to help tease their own announcement.

Hmm.

2K is involved. If you check at the end of the trailer you'll see their logo so, I would think they would have some say/input or dev activity within their own franchise.

It looks like it takes place in a rapture 2.0. it will likely still have the same sort of feel as rapture, with a new location, new characters, and new story

Well, I'm glad they haven't just sold the franchise for parts. But I do hope to see an improvement over the second game. They have apparently brought America into this in a bigger way (we just get into everything, we're such rascals). And those Not Big Daddy things are weird. I saw nothing of Little Sisters, which is good, imo. Bioshock should continue, but Rapture is dead and should be left alone.
Nice fake out at the beginning there. Who is this apparently doomed guy in the trailer? Who's the lady? There was no obvious plasmid in use, so how was she doing that?
Can't wait for more info.

her name is Elizabeth, and your mission is to find her and get her off of Columbia (the name of the city)

EDIT: and btw irriational games (the people making this game) made the 1st bioshock, but not the 2nd one

Didn't know they were involved with the series at all before. Even looking over the game case, I found no mention of them. Had to go look at Gamefaqs to dig up the info, and you're quite right. They were indeed in on the first one.
This does give me more reason to be excited as I liked the first one a great deal more in most respects.

here is IGN's rewind trailer

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

one thing they apparently aren't aware of is this is not a bioshock prequel, this is more of a re-imagining of bioshock

The one thing that scares me about it... is with the skies it won't be as dark and dingy.

WHEEEE NEW BIOSHOCK YAY!

so you are scared of the light?

More info.

I am excited about this new addition to the BioShock family

I flapped.

Seems interesting. When it comes out ill be sure to come round one day and get it

Some interesting information provided of this dissection of the debut trailer.

I watched that a couple days ago . lol but the disection of the trailer was really good

Should be fun

Fun? FUN?!
My dear sir, I don't believe you accurately observed the number of bouncing smileys in that spoiler.

Really though, it is looking very nice. I love that the character actually talks.
Things I'm wondering about though. Game looked a little 'on rails' (sometimes literally). I'm hoping that was a more story intensive section so that in other areas we'll be able to wander around and do what we want. Really liking the new plasmids as well as new uses for old plasmids. Telekinesis for the win! And the new Big Daddy type enemies... Can't wait. When is this out?

Game Informer has a good read on it. Apparently you rescue Elizabeth in the middle of a civil war.

I renewed my subscription last month, and my new issuses haven't started coming in yet.
Now I'm even more impatient to get it. Thanks a lot, mossy.

Hot damn. I might have to get this now.
