edit: not saying 2 was bad, just wasnt as good
Gameplay-wise Bioshock 2 was a huge step up from the first, to be honest. Way more intense.
New viral video, social media marketing video. It's one of those 70s/80s educational vids. I love hte marketing campagin for this game and can't wait. replaying 1 at this time.
Some of the devs talking about the AI behind the Elizabeth character, its actually kind of disappointing knowing that alot of people will just skip by this sort of thing and not take notice
So, the console versions have leaked already and, thanks to that, there are some people that have been streaming the game (at least until they get shut down).
After watching for a while, I can say that the game looks worse than I could ever have imagined. This Elizabeth character is basically equivalent to mandatory God Mode. During gunfights, whenever you need anything, she just throws it to you from an infinite supply (is that why this game is called Infinite?). She'll give you infinite amounts of health, mana, and ammunition. To make matters worse, if you're so bad at the game that you still manage to die with infinite resources, Elizabeth instantly revives you right then and there. Even if you jump off a ledge into the abyss, she will just revive you at the edge of the platform like nothing happened. You quite literally CANNOT DIE in this game.
Now I know why there's this "1999 Mode" in the game -- because apparently Ken Levine believes that 1999 was the last era when video gamers could possibly stand the thought of not winning a game with no effort. Also, this 1999 Mode requires you to beat the entire game once before you're even allowed to access it. This shows you how dumb Levine believes his consumer-base to be -- he's so afraid someone will accidentally activate it, it's tucked away as deep into the game as you can imagine.
Further evidence the game believes you are clinically retarded. There are several scenes where things like this happen. You come upon a ledge and Elizabeth says "THIS IS A GOOD SNIPING AREA!" and she just tosses you a sniper rifle, conjuring it out of thin air, and it replaces whatever weapon you were holding at the time.

What a huge disappointment.
That would be incredibly sad if this is true (not that im doubting you). Who would think that it would be a good idea? Seriously.
Its ridiculous. This Bioshock is even worse than Bioshock 2. Way too much action. They just want the Call of Duty Kiddies with that. Wave of enemies after wave of enemies... just ridiculous!
This is what I was afraid of...lets hope the atmosphere and story makes up for the COD-generation game play, which is why I love Bioshock in the first place.

This is how it was during the time I was watching. The guy was playing on Medium difficulty so I suppose there's the potential that Elizabeth doesn't do all this stuff on Hard or whatever it's called. I also suppose Elizabeth could lose these "powers" as you progress through the game but this guy definitely didn't JUST start the game... not sure how many hours in he was, for sure, though.
