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.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

      Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By Geezy · Posted

      That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
