Anyone Else Excited About Bioshock Infinite?

Bioshock Infinite comes out February 26!  This is easily my most anticipated game this year, surpassing even Watch Dogs.

I was a HUGE Bioshock fan, but let down by Bioshock 2...didn't even finish the second one.

This one looks so good.  Anyone else hyped about this?

That's like asking if anyone else is excited about (insert huge game everyone is excited about here).

Excited but extremely nervous at the same time. Very few of these big budget games seem to live up to their own hype these days. biggest_loser

Yeah, I'm gonna be really pissed off if they drop the ball on this.

How can even this be considered 'Bioshock', if it's not: A.) underwater, and or B.) within the city of Rapture? To me, this rather seems more like a spin-off rather than anything of the sort. 

as per usual these days ill resist the urge to get all giddy and hyped and instead will wait for user reviews.

lost count of how many times my heart has sunk this past year after buying yet another overhyped game that promised the earth but delivered little, it's not nice discovering your expectations are becoming out of touch with reality. at this rate soon it seems i'll be happy simply if the game loads and has k&m support  :cry:

still, on a positive note, infinite looks and sounds great. i always enjoy games with distinct art styles and interesting cultural and philosophical undertones

Yeah, I can agree with you a lot on this one. I loved 1, but found 2 a little underwhelming. I assumed going into it, it was the same developer, but found out later that it wasn't. Irrational has done a great job over the years, but what concerns me is that they had a bunch of people leaving during the middle of development. I'm still really wanting to get it. Just not sure if it's a Day 1 anymore.

EDIT: Also OP, the game doesn't come out until March 26. We still got a way's off. :(

The new one also looks too "Americanised" and the game will basically pander to Americans ,and state how they're the greatest country in the world when they're not.QuebecNationale

It looks decent, for some reason though I just am not nearly as excited about this one as I was for the original Bioshock. I think my tastes in gaming are dwindling, some really high profile games just don't really do it for me any more...maybe i need a new hobby?

Thank you for crushing all of my hopes and dreams.  :(

A lot of people are VERY excited but I'm glad everyone is keeping their cool about it. It's gonna be amazing but it hasn't reached stupid levels of hype like TLOU or something similar, and I hope it stays that way. Last thing we need is it to be overhyped. 

But I expect very great things from it

Don't mean to spoil your hype but don't you mean March 26?

may just pick it up if the game is really good

Bio just means life in general so might as well use it. I'm looking forward to Bioshock but I don't think it'll be as impactful as the original and it looks irritatingly tight-scripted. Either that or it'll be a masterpiece in storytelling like HL2. But it's nice to have a distinct game to look forward to this year.

Its cool i can wait..Sounds also like some one hates america..Man people love to bash america these days sigh..Aliens coloniel marines comes out on the 15th il have that to make the time go bye..Also simcity is released on the fifth so that will keep me busy till the 26th..Im how ever really interested to see what they done with a out door setting..Bioshock 2 was a let down but infinite looks amazing...

I have reservations about the quality of the combat which was pretty unsatisfying in the first two games but I'll probably get it anyways since the setting looks pretty neat. 

There was an article a little while ago about how awesome the PC version will be so thats something. 

Very excited. Although, I will miss the darkened atmosphere of Bioshock 1 and 2 and plus it doesn't have that neon art deco style which I'm a big fan of.

Just as you, I was a big fan of the first but was very dissappointed by Bioshock 2. 

I'm looking forward to getting this but will wait until reviews come up. I don't want to be let down again as with Bioshock 2.

Figured I crush you now than you wake up on February 26 and you're not playing the new Bioshock. :P

more money spent on advertising than making a quality game. totally agree. i havent had a good time playing a pc game since TF2. well my new love is LOL

I'll wait for player feedback, and probably a sale as well. It's looking promising, but they're hyping it to the moon and I am almost certain that they won't deliver.

The original Bioshock's gameplay was underwhelming to say the least, and I don't think the 'aerial on-rails' concept will improve that. Sure, the art and themes do a lot for me, but...I don't know, I'm not convinced that they still know how to make a compelling shooter.

Also, I have a feeling that they're going to try to be -too- clever with a really forced plot twist, like...I don't know, the protagonist turning out to be Andrew Ryan or something. The intro gameplay I saw deliberately elided a lot of key information, which pretty much screamed 'Your preconceived notions are wrong! Aren't we clever!' at me. They have to outdo Bioshock's kind-of-interesting twist, but I suspect that I'm now too cynical to buy into it. Hmph!

I am. But, I don't care much for hype either.

It looks decent, but people seem to be over hyping it like its the best thing since sliced bread, the actual gunplay in Bioshock was horrible and I just hope they fix it in this one. Looking foward to Prey 2, Metro last light, crysis 3, Halo 3 pc more, but I will be picking this up.

[QUOTE="QuebecNationale"][QUOTE="skrat_01"] Now that's what I call judgemental and wilfully ignorant. On the contrary Infinite's premise and narrative is apparently extremely critical of jingoism, and American exceptionalism of the early 1900s; whilst also being a character drama, science ficiton and shooting men in the faces tale. And that's going by all the interviews, previews and promotional content since the games announcement. NAPK1NS

Excellent post.

The fact that you are even thinking about these sort of issues is more than we could say for other generic "US Army vs. Russians/ Middle Eastern Country" type games.

Calling AC3 a pro-American piece of propoganda is completely ignorant. I am not trying to pick on anyone, but its just a shame that anything with a deeper meaning is generally lost on the average gamer.

ken levine is a big dreamer and somebody who is passionate about games. That's a rare quality these days. I have faith. nutcrackr

It's currently just about the only game I am really psyched for! :D

And I love Propaganda games, how else does one gain insight into different cultures ?Lulekani

Propaganda is not culture, propaganda is bad taste and hopefully Infinite is not full of it like the terrible AC 3.

I'm honestly not expecting much, but I REALLY want a good follow up to Shock 2. Kevin Levine has proven with Bioshock that he can still deliver an FPS with good gunplay and good atmosphere, hopefully that 1999 mode fixes the difficulty problem that ruined Bioshock for me.

super duper excited, i loved the first 2 and can't wait for the 3rd
