Bioshock: Infinite · DIGIT-ARC

OK people as ico created Bioshock Thread I didn't found any Bioshock Infinite Thread when we have so much about this game right now. So I am collecting all news at one place and creating this for discussion of this game to be released in 2012

About the Game
Welcome to the city of Columbia. Floating amongst the clouds, cruising far above sea level, this is a place unlike any you've ever seen. Please enjoy your voyage...

The third game in the popular Bioshock series, BioShock: Infinite breaks away from the underwater setting of the first two games to take players into a floating city held aloft by dirigibles. The game is set in 1912. You play as Booker DeWitt, a disgraced former private detective who's picked up a new case. Your goal is to find Elizabeth, a young woman who's gone missing and return her unharmed. The only problem is that she's being kept on this flying city. Columbia was once a symbol of America's success as a nation, floating around the world as a traveling World's Fair, a marvel of human innovation. But strange things have happened since Columbia's unveiling in 1900, and now the city has disappeared into the clouds. DeWitt knows how to find it, but over the years stories have been told about Columbia having unlawful heavy armament and deranged citizenry. Do not expect this to be a pleasure cruise.

BioShock Infinite - Preview

Will Update as more about this game gets revealed.

^Looks awesome.

From the depth of the oceans to the height of the skies, refreshing.

Looks gr8.

Bioshock to me was always a must play game.

V

SAVE YOURSELF !! Its raining BIOSHOCK THREADS ! Hehe....waiting for this game. I have high expectations from this.

Finally in this game we will go out in the sunshine and city. In previous ones there were only indoors but this one delivers outdoors also.

I would like to have it in POP 2008 way.

Bioshock Infinite Basics

So, this isn't a sequel... or prequel... or... whatever?

BioShock: Infinite isn't a sequel to BioShock or BioShock 2, and it doesn't seem like a prequel as such to either of those games. Instead, consider BioShock Infinite a "spiritual successor" - much like the original BioShock lifted elements of gameplay and storytelling from the System Shock games, BioShock Infinite is taking ideas from the first game and expanding on them in a recognizable but new way.

What's the Story?

Players assume the role of Booker Dewitt, a has-been private detective hired to find the missing Elizabeth. His search leads him to the floating city of Columbia, where he finds a disturbing world of patriotism gone poisonous. And... that's all we know, really.

What's the game like?

BioShock: Infinite is, at first glance, an awful lot like BioShock. Players can find tonics (see: plasmids) that give them special abilities such as telekinesis, but the tonics seem to offer more finesse than plasmids did. Irrational's video demos of BioShock: Infinite show finer control of the Telekinesis ability, allowing for Booker to use weapons hands free.The upgraded engine in Infinite has also changed the weapon balancing and powers considerably. Irrational head Ken Levine has stressed that fights will involve as many as 15 enemies, requiring players to use those new and upgraded powers in more creative and destructive ways. The big open spaces have also made long-range combat a factor.

Then there are the rails. Columbia is actually made up of a number of pieces held aloft by giant balloons, and these pieces are connected by "skylines," which can be traversed with a special hook mount attachment that will send Booker rocketing along at about 80 miles an hour. This would be nerve-wracking enough without the countryside thousands of feet below, or the aggressive citizens of Columbia that Booker will have to take on while riding the skylines.

‘BioShock: Infinite’ Cosplay Of Elizabeth — A Blue-Eyed Beauty

According to her deviantArt page, her name is Anna and goes under the Internet hacker-alias ormeli. Hailing all the way from Moscow, Russia, Anna is a veteran cosplayer who has also, on occasion, played the role of Ellie Langford from Dead Space 2 and Batman’s femme fatale, Poison Ivy.

She’s also a huge fan of Irrational Games’ popular BioShock series – that unfortunately up till now – lacked a character that Anna could use to display her own amazing set of cosplay powers. Logically, this changed thanks to BioShock: Infinite and with the introduction of Elizabeth, whose raven black hair and jeweled blue eyes have been captured perfectly by Anna.

This has definitely got to be the most gorgeous cos-play costume and girl. THE END. :wub:

The girl looks so sweet.

By the looks of it, it would be pretty long. I think 10-15 hours because previous Bioshock games weren't very short either.

All i Need is a HDD now

Graphics look intense

So i can understand the game without playing Bioshock 2?

I've never played BioShock game...

but this one looks good....the character jumping from plane (posted by gameranand) looks like Dhalshim from SF4

I have enough space ready for it.

I need to play the Original Game.. IIRC many didn't have a PC capable of playing the game in those days. Time to lookup flipkart

EDIT: there was Bioshock 2 too :/

RCuber said:

survival horror with RPG element. thing i like about Bioshock is its really close to RAGE both in terms of gameplay and looks. enemies know how to fight.

Infinite has nothing to do with Bioshock 1 or 2, or am I wrong?

Had played B1 enjoyed it but stopped as it was very confusing

Sam said:

Well as someone already mentioned you can play this game as its not a sequel

base is same. one hand you shoot, other hand you use magical power. just that in Infinite there are no Big Daddies (surely there will be something worse).

Sam said:

What about the story ?? Is it continuation or something else ??

^^

Despite the name, BioShock Infinite isn’t related to the underwater city of Rapture you know and love. Instead, it brings us to the floating city of Columbia where ex-Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has to protect and rescue a mysterious young girl named Elizabeth.

One Month Before BioShock Infinite - IGN

I read somewhere this is in a different universe

and protected by Songbird (the huge mechanical bird). the gameplay will be lot evolved as now you have Elizabeth who has her own power set and not the statue senseless NPC in most games. reminds me of Alex from Half Life 2.

So she will be following us throwing health potions now and them

theserpent said:
So she will be following us throwing health potions now and them

no health in this game i guess but Elizabeth packs some time travel power. she can use tears in time dimension to either bring back objects or throw someone back in time. and the protagonist can use veils to enhance his own power. it was something like that the last time i read about BI.

Hope this game doesn't dissapoint, and turn out to be a 5 HOURS game

Hmmm......OK. Thanks for the info.

To access the extra items-for those who have pre ordered you have to finish the Puzzle before 26th march

Well thats a browser based puzzle game to unlock certain items in game

Whats the price BTW ??

The usual 999, the 'infinite+bioshock1' offer is for 1099.

Seems reasonable. But entirely depends on the length of the game.

Its three disks on PC, so...

Then 10-12GB or something and 10+ hours campaign I am guessing.

Can't wait for it. Playing Dishonored rite now and i feel it will be like same but with better story and suspense.

gameranand said:

Dude, three dual layer disks is like 24gigs, and the game doesn't even have a multiplayer. Ken Levine said the length would be similar to bioshock 1's campaign

I want big Daddy in this game or maybe that big birdie will be new Daddy?

cyborg47 said:

Four types of larger mechanical enemies created by the Founders, dubbed "Heavy Hitters", act as mini-bosses through the game, demanding new tactics from the player. One type of these are the Handymen, so named for their large porcelain doll-like hands; they are robotic-like monsters housing a human heart and head, with the ability to jump large distances and easily throw the player- and non-player characters alike. A second class are the Motorized Patriots, once used as tour guides for the city, decorated in patriotic colors and wear a wax mask of George Washington, assaulting its foes with a "peppermill" automatic machine gun. The Boys of Silence are men in foppish outfits locked into a metal helmet with giant ears; the humans inside are blind but due to the helmet have super-human hearing, and act as Columbia's security system, requiring the player to choose carefully between stealth and a direct assault, whereupon the Boys can scream to call in back up.[41] Finally, the Siren is a mysterious, completely enshrouded female figure, based on the Spiritualism movement near the end of the 19th century, that can revive defeated foes during combat, requiring the player to decide whether to concentrate attacks on the Siren or the newly-revived enemies. The player will have several options of approaching the Heavy Hitters, such as by using stealth to bypass the encounter, or to hack into the machine and take control of the units.

perfect replacement for big daddies. these mechs won't be easy and i wonder what they mean by "stealth". with such an open place with roller coaster type transport will there be any space to hide !!!

Cool New things always good to try.

Hacking is not new but its really fun.

Steam and other online gaming stores included XCOM Enemy Unknown in Bioshock Infinite preorders. Why we are not getting that too..

I am now getting suspicious about the game, why they are tempting gamers so hard to pre-order? You are virtually getting the game for free. :neutral:

arijitsinha said:

You can get the game from Amazon. You are basically paying $30 for BI & XCOM (plus other goodies), cheaper than buying both the games from Flipkart/Game4u. GMG will probably throw in XCOM too (as tweeted) so that will make 4 games for $45.

I was expecting FK or game4u giving XCOM with BI pre order.

yes.. we will not get the game on 26th from FK.. At most they will start shipping on 26th and the lucky buyer who lived nearby FK offices, may get it on the same day. Not so luck for me

thinking whether to buy the game or not since i have never played any Bioshock game earlier !

The day Flipkart understands the meaning of pre-order will be the day when the Forever Alone guy won't be alone. I seriously think we should try and do something about Flipkart delivering games on time.

GTA 5(if no PC Ed) Please regard it as the worst game of the year

, other than bioshock infinite i dont think any major game is coming this year which deserves a GOTY(Who knows maybe watch dogs,COH 2 & Saints row 4) might need one

For nvidia user , download beta driver 314.22 that increase upto 40% performance for this game

The game is at the Bhiwandi sort facility, 10 kms from my home. Hoping to get it tomorrow.

I know all the reviews haven't come out yet but as of now the game's setting Metacritic on fire. Joint second highest PC Metacritic score of all time, as of this moment.

Read this review at AusGamers and as you can see from this quote the reviewer went reaaallly overboard:

'I don't know how else to tell you that this is the game videogames were made for. It’s the game every other designer wishes they could make. It’s a watershed moment for our industry, and I’d be hard pressed to tell you that anything that came before is better. More so, however, I can’t imagine that anything else, in my lifetime, will top this. All bold statements, I know, but this is it and I’m reviewing it. BioShock Infinite is the sort of game we dream of reviewing. It’s the Ocarina of Time of this generation (only infinitely better), and will be talked about and analysed for years to come.'

I promised myself I wouldn't get it before this summer(exams coming up), but reviews like these are weakening my resolve

Well I haven't played this game but these type of comments don't come easy for sure from the reviewers.

rahulkadukar said:

You never know you might get it today

You know All developers( Ubisoft's AC series & COD)okay forget COD they just release games for money/multiplayer should learn from 2K, bioshock's first gameplay was shown back in 2011..and might have been in development from 2009/10, and released it now cause they wanted the game to be perfect, whereas Ubisoft has joint other people releasing a not so good AC game every game

True that. Developers must give their game enough time rather than rushing into release. BS1 was great BS2 not so great but good game and after many years this which is getting praise from everywhere.

Infact I have not seen many games getting a 10/10
+the PC version> Console Version.

I have ordered the game but have asked them to ship it after 7th april since i have ti give exam on 7th

That means good optimization with PC.

^^I think the Unreal Engine itself is very well optimized will good enough graphics.

gr8 screenies...

@Skud : so........ I guess you paid full $59.99(Rs 3k) :shock:

for the game?

Same question I wanna ask.

Around 2.5k from Gamersgate. Got 30% back in blue-coins, 3 more games, plus Industrial Revolution pack - not a bad deal IMO.

yes the deal is very good ! I wish my exam were not going . Elizabeth have to wait !

^^And the feeling of playing a game on its release date - priceless.

agreed . How will the game run on my 560ti @1080p ?

Is this mid-month speed increase something new? Or is it like the FUP?

iittopper said:

Should run fine, it's more or less equal to my 6950.

NVIDIAGeek said:

Most of the time, after I make the payment (generally after 20th of the month), I get a speed bump, even though I spent my quota within the first couple of days of the month. All I need to do is restart the modem.

How is the game skud? Finished it?

Still I have not recieved the copy from FK..

Though there is no holiday here on yesterday

Encountered an error yesterday and couldn't progress much as Steam redownloaded a significant portion. So far, game is excellent, true GOTY stuff.

Hoping to finish it this weekend.

Got my copy now

whats the gameplay length? 12+ ? thinking of picking up the game from Landmark.

also is it okay if I play this before playing the originals i.e., BS 1 & BS 2.

RCuber said:

Yep around 10-12 hour . You can start from INFINITE. It is an independent story arc.

Later you can play BIOSHOCK to understand the evolution of the overall theme, narrative and art style.

Got my CD yesterday
Board exams done today

Now installing it

Yup 12+ Hours
+ a mode called 1999 mode strictly for hard core gamers..you should try it out

thanks, will pick up the copy.

^^ It will be worth every penny

Is this anyway related BioShock 1? If yes, I'm hyped.

^ No..both are different

WTH!!! Bioshock not yet stocked in Landmark

^^ buy from flippy you might get the copy in a day

I pre-ordered from Gamersgate. No idea about silver coins.

With this game or Elizabeth?

I could not start this game.. As my internet is down for two days so cannot install. :banghead:

^ The game, I din't we reach elizabeth yet, just reached blue ribbion

R

Finished the game yesterday and I was not at all disappointed. This is a game which will be discussed for years. Story telling at its best.

Booker DeWitt is Father Comstock and Elizabeth is the daughter. They also show Rapture in the end and since Elizabeth/Booker are able to use the Bathyscope they are related to Andrew Ryan in someway. :twisted:

How long it was?

It was involuntary action. I was thinking of something and then at the same time clicked the button. Read the first sentence. Then realized what I did.

^^ guess what? me too clicked on the spoiler :facepalm:

I don't recall if I clicked the spoiler earlier

Saved..

loved the game but i somehow didn't like the graphics. The art work is amazing but the colors r cartoony. man that zip-lining is awesome.

Just completed the game and what a experience it was. Story just hit me pretty hard, I guess it will stick in my mind for couple more days.

My only complaint was the game length. It just lasted over 10+ hours, with medium level of exploration.

But all in all, this is a master piece. This games is a testament to the video game writing and story telling of not just this generation, but the coming ones as well. Ken Levine and rest of Irrational Games, Take a Bow.

A good story line and gameplay is better than uber realistic graphics.

Thank God I am not on the page where spoiler is or I would had clicked it also.

^ Yes

Eagerly waiting to buy a copy ..

BTW I didnt know this (wiki), another reason why I buy games

Irrational had been working in secrecy on Infinite for two-and-a-half years since completing the original BioShock prior to its announcement;[55] with the game announced as going gold on February 19, 2013, about five years of development had been put into the game.[56] 2K Games gave them the freedom to develop their sequel at will.

got my copy

in the process of getting my copy...

maybe tomorrow

gearing to jump in

Will a person who doesn't really enjoy first person shooters other than Doom and Quake enjoy this? I did enjoy Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Far Cry 3, but i liked them more because of stealth, visuals, exploration and RPG mechanics. I tried to avoid shooting for the most part.

However I do enjoy 3rd person shooters like Max Payne 3 and Alan Wake immensely.

completed Bioshock :grin:

time to play part 2.

Doom & Quake and Deus & FC3 are strange bedfellows. I also don't like FPS much, particularly the recent ones, where you shoot less and do other things more. That said this game can be played as an outright shooter, enemy AI is pretty dumb unless you are playing at highest difficulty. You can simply bulldoze your way through the enemies.

Coming to your query, this game neither has any stealth part nor much RPG mechanics. Visuals are nice, if you don't mind the over-the-top bloom and low-res textures up close. You do get a fairly large amount of area to explore though.

btw, are there any options to disable bloom in graphics settings??

btw, is the AMD Catalyst Beta 13.3 driver stable enough??

13.3 is the stable one. I was using 13.2, when I first launched the game, and it was crashing every 15 or 30 minutes, randomly. Doing a fresh uninstall of the drivers, and installing 13.3 did the trick.

I like the first two and the second two for two different reasons.

I like Doom & Quake because of the emphasis they have on movement and the feeling of power they give(which hasn't been matched by any game i've played since. Max Payne 3 came close, but no cigar). Quake can almost be called semi platformer. Would Bioshock Infinite have Half-Life 2 like "exploration", or Fallout like true exploration?

I guess its more like half- life 2 exploration. Not true Exploration, thats the ground of Bethesda.

True that.

Ordered today on FK !

is hacking present in Infinite too?

played for around 1 hr.... awesome environment.. the splicer melee weapon is ftw!!

i hope hacking is present.. i did not any hackable turrets till now.

I think he is saying about in game percentage meter, which is based on sidequest/mission completion. There is no such option in this game.

played 6 hrs straight.. beautiful game .. surprisingly I dies only 3-4 times

in the stage to retrieve tools for that gunsmith..

At gunsmith it all begins.

Took 13 hours to complete.

finished in 11 hrs on normal difficulty... give me some time to get back to reality

There was a bug in the ending ..

Opened the last door, and saw the priest and the end credits rolled, without the final cut scene. Wasn't expecting the story to stop so abruptly. had guessed the actual ending. feeling something was a miss I checked out the ending on youtube and saw the end cut scene

.. freaking bugs, replayed last check point.

^^ I tried to play slow, trying to clear each room, getting more money etc, but I didn't find myself using all weapons, used machine gun + Volley gun. For vigor's I primarily used Possession, Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey only, Possession for Patriot or Turrets, Shock Jockey for setting traps, Crows when loads of guys come charging

Zangetsu said:

I didn't die much, couple of time in boss battles, three times in final battle. may be I have finally understood how to play FPS

, using cover, that being said I still used controller instead of Mouse and Keyboard, cause this is single player and there wont by much flanking from the enemies..

Im in comstock house mission(about 80% into the game i guess) and i missed 2 vigors dam

I have missed 1

I have missed 2

open up XEngine.ini and find these lines:

Bloom=True
UseHighQualityBloom=True

and make them False.

Bloom=False
UseHighQualityBloom=False

Additionally, you could force DX10, with almost no loss of visual fidelity.
make

AllowD3D11=True

to

AllowD3D11=False

hope that helps

You playing in 1080p? How much frames are you getting mate?

nope thats 1600x900 with all gfx effects on high. only shadow resolution is Normal.

i have Dynamic VSync to 50Hz through Radeon Pro and it never comes down below 50. so it is giving >50 all the time.

iittopper said:

is a post processing effect. it provides a kind of diffused glow around light sources and reflecting surfaces... kind of like a dreamy feel. and since BI is up in the clouds, the effect is over done.

I hate bloom... so i removed it. plus removing it boosts FPS a lot cos its calculation heavy.

gameranand said:

yep.. its a real looker without the damn bloom.. but in your 7870CF, i bet it'd be stunning with ultra effects.

Bloom effect was not that bad in this game, but turning it off does help in boosting frames.

almost 0 stealth. either you fight or you flee. choice is yours. and as there is not much cover, you'll have to shoot anything that comes your way. including lot of boss fights.

I see. Does fleeing affect the stories outcome? How tight are the movement and controls? To me it looks like it would be somewhere between Alan Wake and Dead Rising. And more importantly, do the guns give you a feeling of power? I don't expect any 'BFG, hell yeah' moments but at least it should give some feeling of power.

gameranand said:

the story for both are awesome...
gameplay is excellent for both.. but TR is a bit ahead due to its non-standard, new kind of gameplay.
graphics.. well IMO, TR is leaps ahead of BI.

i'll be rooting for TR!

you CANNOT flee. fights are necessary for story progress.
guns dont give you that but its the combo with the Plasmids that give you that Power feeling..

so you need effective strategy to plan out your moves and combos.

most of the time you are forced to fight. or you can hook up to the rail and just run away but that doesn't help much. you may miss out on salts and tonics (or whatever they are called). so once an area is clear of enemies, quickly find all unlockable places and then shift to the next one else enemies may start spawning again. controls are just spot on and for movement, check a couple of youtube gameplay videos.

alan wake is a survival horror. this one is straight forward action + adventure (if you like to find all hidden salts in that level). guns looks fine but most of them show their weakness once the more hardcore enemies arrive (handyman & mechanized patriot). upgrading helps and most importantly, using Elizabeth's power is essential for survival. this game may looks like run of the mill "run-n-gun" type but it is not.

None of the Bioshock games were Run-n-Gun, for some enemies you have to make strategy how to trap them so they don't give you much trouble.

Finished neither of the previous 2 games.

I love my shooters to be no-brainers, this series was kinda weird right until this game. This is similar to Big Daddy- Little Sister setup of previous game, but far better in terms of gameplay. Oh, and that damned FOV is much better in this game. Playing a first person game after a long, long time at a stretch without any ill effects, grand!!!

^ looks like you're enjoying every penny of it

that plasmid thingy is great

First the game felt boring but throwing the ball ( 77 ) at that clown made the game enjoyable at last ;-)

..... now I'm in a run with Elizabeth but as I had played the previous Bioshock games I found one thing to be too easy ( read complaining ) .. the auto shield.

Maybe thats why I liked Bioshock too much. I like FPS to be different than the rest, Bioshock was really different in terms of gameplay.

true. before reaching Elizabeth everything felt kind of boring and i asked myself why reviewers gave it such high marks.

What does that Auto-Shield do exactly ??

it is a shield basically. B1 & 2 didn't have any shield. only health bar.

Different people, different tastes.

i felt Bioshock 1 to be the best. it was like watching a movie. Ryan's character and dialogue were simply unmatched. this also made the story little difficult to understand because he never say anything clearly. but enjoyed every bit of that game.

Yes i know , but still wanted to know . Read the wiki page , didnt understand much , that's why asking .

Hacking Turrets in manual way, is gone. We can hack turrets only with Possession vigor.

but unlike B1, the turret stays hacked for a minute or so before turning to me again.

I was downloading Bioshock infinite with 512kbps broadband . And speed was normal , all of sudden speed increased to 2 mbps and downloading was finished in few hours . MTNL FTW , But i always get weird speed on steam

Started infinite yesterday, fighting Elizabeth's mother. How close am i to the end. i have all the vigors except charge where do you get it?

^^ IIRC about 75%

Splendid. Marvellous. That's what this game is. Truly Epic

It's a green devil horns looking bottle which you will be able to take on your way back.

Help guys , i am having a constant fps drop for 1 second randomly which makes the game not enjoyable . pc config - 560ti , intel i3 2120 , 4 gb ddr3 , using lates driver nvdidia 314.22 . Fps drop from 60 to below 10 for a fraction of second :cry:

There are parallel universes. There are constants and variables. Constant is that Booker approached priest for Baptism after the massacre of wounded knee. One version of him doesn't accept Baptism and go on to be an average joe in a separate parallel universe. His gambling addiction puts him under debt. His wife passes away leaving a daughter.

And the other version who accepts Baptism grows more egoistc and follows into another parallel universe where he goes on to make Columbia using Leutece's help. Leutece were able to employ technology to create tears (pathway to another parallel universe). But the exposure to that caused Booker AKA Comstock to lose fertility. And he ages fast too due to the effect. He desperately searches for a way to get a successor who is his own blood line. What's better than opening a tear and snatching away the daughter of your own self in the other parallel universe ?

The only way possible to stop Comstock from destroying New York is to kill the Booker who accepts Baptism.

^^

Thank you for your explanation
I had understood that comstock is booker and he wants a progeny so he takes anna but then why does elizabeth kill the booker who hasn't been baptized?

I've not completed the game yet but read the spoilers and have only one question : this game has any kind of different endings or a single one only ?

^ dont read the spoiler man ! it will make your experience ruined .

So did the the priest get any kind of punishment ?? and thanks for the info.

Does anyone have the MP3 format of the songbirds tune?
That would make a great ringtone

I came across various choices...such as the BIRD/CAGE?...
Is there any changes in the story line depending on the choices?...

The story does not change regardless of choices made. However, the devs try to pull a Christopher Nolan in the epilogue by leaving the interpretation of the game's ending to the players.

Even with the single ending, the story is convoluted enough. I think, its better there were not multiple endings. This would have lead to even more confusion and several open plot holes.

@RCuber, thanks bro. Gaming websites are blocked in my office tho

ratzee199 said:

It's one of the variable in the game. You use it to identify her later when things go complex.

Actually, bird and cage is an illusion.
Bird Cage Optical Illusion

Bird can represent confinement, as songbird.

CAGE, is used to free Elizabeth later on.

Or you can take the traditional meaning of both. Cage as confinement and bird as freedom. Matter of perspective.

^^ spoiler!!!!

I chose bird did anyone choose cage ?

How do we control the songbird in the end if we choose cage in the beginning ?

^^ same here and I think everyone likes to be free ;-)

but the game has single ending so these choices don't matter much I guess.

I also chose bird..

Excellent game, but too short.

anirbandd said:

If you are referring to me, then no I am on the correct thread. I didn't expect this short of a gameplay from a 19 gig game which doesn't have a multiplayer.

yeah we were referring to you mate

you must understand that textures and sounds and pre-rendered videos take up a lot of space.

IMO its adequate length considering people like me who only get to play on weekends.

^its adequate for people who play it 5-6hrs at one go too

I took about 12 hrs..

^^ is there some place IN THE GAME where they show how many hours??

^^ in Steam.. unless *ahem*

Finally we have the release date of the DLC for this game. BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Ep2 releasing on 25 march.

Ken Levine: BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Ep2 will be longer

Damn... Uninstalled and deleted. :/

Try by changing the FOV slider to max. Or you can try changing it manually in the config file.

then i'll try once more after it comes out.

I am waiting for the same. Don't want to play it now and then again, its huge so takes a lot of space.

yeah.. the installations are frustrating..

faced this long time ago with MoH AA only .. anyway, getting excited about Burial at Sea P2. The story is very interesting but I'm still worried about the gameplay time. 5 - 6 hours Hmm.. in reality it's going to be a little less I guess.

A good game is going with a good impression. I never want any game to go in yearly mill cycle or become a long series, I always want a good game.
Look what happened to POP series, AC series and DA series and many others.
