Umm, apart from the first Bioshock was a dribbeling mess and a dumbed down, toothless version of SS2?
I really like those guys, and Irrational did an awesome job on systemshock 2 back then, and I really like what I see from Bioshock infinate, but to use systemshock as a measuringstick is pretty bad.
It failed as an rts game, it failed as an fps game, the only people really impressed by it, were people who started playing games this gen. It did not have amazing 1off writing, nor a cast of really good characters.
It bugged me, because I know that they were capable of doing so much more, but have this odd idea that they were told to hold back in the name of mass appeal.
So do I look farwards to Infinate? Yeah, sure I do. Will it be better then the fps games you listed, or even a game like Deus Ex: HR (its closest bretheren of games comming out in the near future)? Not likely, if it is going to be the same lack of effort that bioshock was.
