I don't know why ken Levine pooh poohed the "cutting room floor" stuff so much. If there was a cool bit of stuff that just didn't fit with the rest of the game, why not make it its own thing?

Also, why is this DLC and not a standalone, half-size, half-price sequel? That way the audience wouldn't be limited to people with copies of the original game, or to last-gen platforms.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Anything is possible.

Spoiler

In some universes they could've been residents of Rapture. Ken says they don't know each other at the start of the dlc which is weird though. Maybe they find out they are father and daughter during the story.

Spoiler

The moment he finds out she's his daughter, he'll slap the cigarette out of her mouth and cry in the corner of the bedroom.

 

[marrec]

so they made a dlc based on the worst part of bioshock. great.

HEY! Did you like shooting people in Bioshock?!

Everybody: Er... no.

Then you'll LOVE Clash in the Clouds!

 

[spirity]

Excited for this, and really thrilled at the prospect of returning to Rapture,

Spoiler

hearing Bobby Darrin and getting into the bathysphere was probably my favourite moment of Infinite. I did not see that coming and it was glorious.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Alright I think I've made the last update to the OP for a while. I gotta work now :X

Burial At Sea looks really interesting. Can't wait to see Rapture before the fall.

 

[Atraveller]

If they could extend the DLC, and make it like Far Cry 3 : Blood Dragon, that would be great.

 

[Gbraga]

And Noir Bioshock? Sign me in.

 

[strafer]

So its out today?

Better than valve already.

 

[Canis lupus]

So disappointed, horde mode feels so unnecessary in Bioshock, actually never liked it in any game. The good part of the DLC doesn't have a releasedate yet... and is situated in Rapture, I dont wanna go back to Rapture, we had 2(!) games with that setting, there is so much to explore in Columbia.

they're also adding a new vigor to the first DLC pack...here it is in action

Ha, ha.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Clash in the Clouds I couldn't care about, Burial at Sea looks like it could be good though. Shame theres no date on that.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

So its out today?

Better than valve already.

Will be out in just under 3 and a half hours.

 

[eorl]

Man Rapture is just one of those awesome settings created in a game, no wonder they are going back to it. Especially now that its before the huge damage, we finally get to see Rapture alive and prosper, maybe even just before the fall?

 

[pa22word]

Also, why is this DLC and not a standalone, half-size, half-price sequel? That way the audience wouldn't be limited to people with copies of the original game, or to last-gen platforms.

Because they sold season passes when the game launched in order to both get a free loan from overzealous fans and keep people from trading in the game, and now they have to fulfill that.

 

[OneEightZero]

Kind of hard to be excited about a piece of DLC that highlights the parts of the game I disliked.

I'll hold off for Burial at Sea.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Wow, people really hated the combat in Infinite, huh? I'm definitely more keen for Burial than I am Clash, but I'm not flipping out about it like virtually everyone else seems to be.

 

[The Librarian]

Hey they listened



We've got Booker as a detective, at least.

And I like that classic noir style they've got going in the Burial at Sea trailer. Always felt that was really appropriate for Booker in particular.

You called it! Definitely excited for this approach. Maybe Burial at Sea will turn out to be another Minerva's Den in both scope (maybe larger?) and match it in quality.

 

[marrec]

And Noir Bioshock? Sign me in.

There better be a Noir-style voiceover from Booker and Elizabeth or I'm flipping my fucking computer desk.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Rapture Elizabeth looks gorgeous. Is he older in Burial At Sea or the same age?

 

[Krusenstern]

Well yeah, it's basically the Chinatown poster lol:

It's always interesting to see where developers get their inspiration from.

 

[GitarooMan]

Clash in the Clouds...what a waste....Nobody asked for this. The rest....yes please.

 

[Fuu]

Excited for this. Like many I wanted more Columbia but Rapture before the fall sounds awesome too.

Spoiler

But I thought Booker and Elizabeth only existed in the Columbia universes. The fact that there were infinite universes didn't mean that there was a Booker and Elizabeth in each.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Actually, (ENDGAME)

Spoiler

in the realities where Booker continues to be Booker there can't be a Columbia because he has to become Comstock to build it.

 

[Alucrid]

Wow, people really hated the combat in Infinite, huh? I'm definitely more keen for Burial than I am Clash, but I'm not flipping out about it like virtually everyone else seems to be.

after the wait and buying my first and last season pass (stupid fucking thing), yes, i'm angry that the first thing we get is just a horde mode

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Holy shit Burial at Sea sounds awesome. Glad I nabbed that season pass. Will play all 3.

 

[Zeliard]

You called it! Definitely excited for this approach. Maybe Burial at Sea will turn out to be another Minerva's Den in both scope (maybe larger?) and match it in quality.

That would certainly be ideal.

 

[Canis lupus]

Well yeah, it's basically the Chinatown poster lol:

 

[iNvid02]

so cash in the clouds

intrigued by the detective story though

 

[Hindle]

I just hope there's more to this then shooting.

 

[truly101]

Wave combat? blech. And it doesn't seem like this DLC won't answer the myriad of questions and plot holes left by the original game.

 

[Forsythia]

Clash in the Clouds sound like a complete waste. The other 2 sound excellent, though.

 

[pa22word]

Seems like to me they just threw the two of them together in a blender and called it good.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

So part 2 is coming in a couple of months? *sells game

 

[marrec]

MalteseFalcon.jpg

Maybe?

 

[Reckoner]

Will pass the Horde DLC since I don't see a point of something like that on a game so story focused like BioShock. Burial At Sea looks promising, though. I'll take it!

 

[Real Hero]

Wave combat? blech. And it doesn't seem like this DLC won't answer the myriad of questions and plot holes left by the original game.

Like what?

 

[SoraanTribal]

Don't really care much about the arena DLC, but the Burial at Sea one looks cool.

Although... I'm a little disappointed the story DLC is taking place in Rapture. I really wanted to see more of Columbia personally, but... seeing Rapture before it falls would be cool as well, I suppose.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Man, getting the perfect look to Elizabeth has been a real struggle for them. It seems no matter what, she always stands out as not quite meshing with the rest of the art!

 

[Andrew.]

So much for Martyr Booker and the Vox Populi side story we all assumed.

Burial at Sea sounds awesome though. Clash in the Clouds however I will pass on.

 

[slightconfuse]

Wow rapture DLCsounds right up my ally

 

[MrBS]

Horde mode is part of the added value of season pass now? I can feel the internet smacking me behind the head now. So damn stupid. Enjoy my money 2K!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

So part 2 is coming in a couple of months? *sells game

You'd sell the game just when amazing DLC is finally announced? Alright.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Excited to see Rapture in the updated engine. Going back to the original game (having never played it before) after playing Infinite is hard to do.

 

[FirstBlood]

So this is just the maps from the multiplayer that was scrapped with a solo horde mode slapped onto them, right?

 

[Reckoner]

Hoard mode is part of the added value of season pass now? I can feel the internet smacking me behind the head now. So damn stupid. Enjoy my money 2K!

Hey, you'll get two more story DLCs!

 

[Gbraga]

There better be a Noir-style voiceover from Booker and Elizabeth or I'm flipping my fucking computer desk.

That would be awesome

 

[Neuromancer]

Wow, people really hated the combat in Infinite, huh? I'm definitely more keen for Burial than I am Clash, but I'm not flipping out about it like virtually everyone else seems to be.

I didn't hate the combat, what I hated was the enemy encounter design. Go into an area, hundreds of dudes pour out from every door knowing exactly where I am, kill them all, rinse repeat. There's no opportunity to sneak up on people, there's no time to set up traps and lure people. You're just reacting all the time, you can never really be proactive and experiment with the environment the way you could in Bioshock.

 

[Nibel]

Man, getting the perfect look to Elizabeth has been a real struggle for them. It seems no matter what, she always stands out as not quite meshing with the rest of the art!

First DLC looks meh, but Burial At Sea looks amazing - I WILL BE THERE

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Can't wait to play as Liz.

 

[Fuu]

Wow, people really hated the combat in Infinite, huh? I'm definitely more keen for Burial than I am Clash, but I'm not flipping out about it like virtually everyone else seems to be.

I'm looking forward to Clash too and will grab it (probably during a sale lol), I liked the combat. Then again, I only played the game recently and haven't been waiting for the DLC, so I can understand how those who bought the season pass may be a little annoyed.

 

[decayedmatter]

So disappointed, horde mode feels so unnecessary in Bioshock, actually never liked it in any game. The good part of the DLC doesn't have a releasedate yet... and is situated in Rapture, I dont wanna go back to Rapture, we had 2(!) games with that setting, there is so much to explore in Columbia.



Ha, ha.

CLEWWWWD!

like how getting baptized somehow makes you a racist dictator for starters. I'm having a hard time buying into that was the singular moment where everything changed, but they abandoned ship right after so, who cares
