With BioShock Infinite about a week away from release, marketing for the game is moving to television, with a new one-minute commercial hitting the airwaves soon. Variations will fill 15-second and 30-second ad spots.
With BioShock Infinite less than two weeks away from release, we are getting a few more bits and pieces about Booker DeWitt's upcoming adventures in Columbia. The new False Shepherd trailer shows skyhook mayhem, hand-stabbing and DeWitt's tendency to drink elixirs with no labels.
It's common practice for AAA games to offer a variety of retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses. The PC version of BioShock Infinite has quite a number of offers to choose from.
BioShock Infinite will be getting at least three pieces of downloadable content after launch, and 2K and Irrational announced a Season Pass to get all three for $20.
With the power to open rifts into other realities and even the 1980s, BioShock Infinite co-star Elizabeth is clearly very special and important. Why, just think of the fortunes you could make by popping back to stock up on ironic vintage t-shirts before they were ironic or vintage! A new trailer's dedicated to the so-called Lamb of Columbia, who you're sent to rescue and the floating city's determined to keep locked away.
Dear publishers, if you are insistent upon releasing trailers that show anything other than gameplay footage (and I imagine you are, what with them helping sell games but shh I am feigning indignation), please take some hint from BioShock Infinite's fine series 'Columbia, a Modern Day Icarus?'. No pre-rendered cinematics, dragging shots of developers talking, or staged in-engine nonsense, just just delightful flavour. Part two's out now, by the way.
A new trailer for BioShock Infinite shows off various bits of new gameplay footage, including some of Columbia's more peaceful moments before everything goes pear-shaped.
Did an entire floating city cruise around the skies over America in the 20th century? It hardly seems likely, as it's patently absurd and the plot of BioShock Infinite and all, but publisher 2K Games has put out a new video today exploring just that subject, resembling a documentary from the 1980s. It's perhaps not definitive proof, but when has television ever lied to us?
BioShock Infinite is getting a prequel e-book, titled "Mind in Revolt," on February 12. It will cost $2.99 for Kindle, or be included free for Amazon pre-orders.
BioShock Infinite creator Ken Levine says that he changed the portrayal of a character after speaking with religious team members who had concerns.
