Seems to me he's implying it will be exactly what I thought: a small tie-in to the original at the end of the game.

Sounds like he's going the Shadow of the Colossus approach that I mentioned earlier in the topic, being that the only connection to tie in Ico and SotC was at the very end of the game showing you that they were part of the same universe and somewhat had an effect in some way to the later story.

Which is good and exactly what I would want from a game that also seems to be set in the same universe.

I still think that this will involve Andrew Ryan and a few cast members from the first bioshock, and it evolves into how they got the idea for rapture.

Cause Cohen in the trailer, and some other little odds and ends. The roses scream Professor Langford from the first game. Cause if any of you remember that she had a love for plants and flowers.

Love for her roses during the first game. ( the find the roses mission in bioshock ).

Little throwback ideas, ive seen could of been nothing. But the connections make me think some of the minor characters from bioshock, will be the ones in this. To help create an atmosphere

on why Rapture came to be.

Cohen isn't in the trailer. That's already been reported to be some politician that's in the game. I thought of the roses, too, but I really don't think it's going to be as big of a tribute as you're letting on -- I'd bet money that, at best, it is just a minor reference to show fans it's in the same universe.

Andrew Ryan was living in Russia at the time of Infinite, and doesn't come to America until 1919. Unless your character brings the city down (literally) and it falls into Russia and is discovered by Ryan, but that would be way too cheesy and obvious.

Nice art. Hope its f-all like the last 2 bioshocks. Im sorry but I found both to be rather lack lustre. The story was nice but the game itself left a lot to be desired and for me became very very samey fast. Personally I dont get what the hubbub was about as neither game stands out for me, jus feels like any other mid range fps.

They crafted a very lovely and artistic enviroment, but with little variation. Thus after x time its dull. But thats jus me.

Will give this a go once its out and hit the pre-owned shelfs I think tho.

To each their own but I completely disagree. Are we talking about the same Bioshock? I can't speak for the second but the first was wonderful because of its diversity in game play. The way you could utilize multiple techniques to achieve the same objective etc. I am at a loss how you found such a critically acclaimed game "lack lustre" as you put it but then again as I said to each their own ;)

speaking of Bioshock, should I go back and play it? I played through about 30-45min on my friend's Xbox 360 about 3 years ago. I found it to be alright. I know if I played it for a longer period of time, I'd probably like/love it.

Yes! If you can stomach the graphics, it's worth playing System Shock 2 as well.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
