Disappointed the DLC is set in Rapture, but there's no denying it sounds great.
Nice.
Nice.

Yes, this. I would've loved to have learned more Songbird (where he came from, who he was), and maybe some gameplay with him. It's a bit disappointing. Are these three pieces of DLC the only ones Irrational is doing?
It's only been four months.
I had no qualms with the combat in Infinite, so Clash in the Clouds looks alright and its only 5 bucks.
I am getting huge Casablanca vibes from Burial at Sea at though. I love me a good Noir story and the second episode is gonna let us play as Elizabeth. Should be really interesting.

that documentary really was superb, makes me wish more companies would think about offering something similar
maybe its just me, but i think something like that would be more meaningful to fans who enjoyed the game and are willing to throw down cash for a season pass than some of this minor non-narrative driven dlc

So Clash in the Clouds is still coming today for 360? The OP says it'll hit when they publish their usual updates but isn't that typically around 5AM EST which we are past at this point. Guessing might have to hold off one more day perhaps?
Sounds like that's it, Clash then two parts of Burial at Sea.

If they are they really have no one to blame but themselves. Throwing money down on something when you haven't the foggiest what it is or when it'll release...what would you expect?
The 2nd and 3rd DLCs look good, though. Here's hoping they improve the gunplay for those.

Am I the only one actually looking forward to Clash in the Clouds? I enjoyed the combat in Infinite, especially when the skylines were involved. Matching that up with unlocking DVD-equivelent of extra features is a nice touch. Sure, combat wasn't my favorite part of Infinite, but it was incredibly memorable in certain locations to me.
Burial at Sea looks amazing as I've certainly always wanted to see Rapture before the fall but it seems like strange to attach it to Bioshock Infinite. Hoping there is some strong ties to Columbia as there seems like there would be a lot to explore there. And having Elizabeth be a playable character seems incredibly strange to me for Part 2.
Either way, I'm super excited for all of this and glad I got the DLC for effectively "free" with the Microsoft Store preorder / 1600MSP deal.

Kind of weird that way back when Levine was like "we said what we wanted to say about Rapture" and now we're right back in it.
I'm interested in it too, it's good how all the new maps they showed have a hefty amount of skylines.

Cash-in the Clouds
Here's the deal of why some are angry (I'm not, just clarifying it for those who don't know):
Irrational says there will be 3 pieces of single-player DLC. Everyone (obviously) assumes they will all be story-related. A lot of people buy the Season Pass. The wishlist goes as: more Columbia, more Songbird, Rapture in its heyday.
A few months later, it's revealed the DLC will be as follows:
1- Clash in the Clouds, a horde mode.
2- Burial At Sea Part 1, detective story DLC set in Rapture.
3- Burial At Sea Part 2, detective story DLC set in Rapture.

Bioshock Infinite ending spoilers
Am I the only one who was pissed when I saw Elizabeth lighting up a cigarette? It looks cool and all but all I could think of is 'Young lady, put that cigarette out RIGHT NOW! Don't you know it's bad for you?!'
I kinda feels like that, looks like something that was tossed together in 2-3 weeks. It seems like something they're putting out there to calm all the anger from the impatient season pass holders.
Oh damn that's gonna be tough.

Excited for Burial at Sea, but I'm glad I got the Season Pass for free with my Amazon order. A little bit disappointing.

It's pretty obvious, even Eurogamer calls it a stopgap. People paid for a season pass, you can't make them wait almost a year for the first dlc and making something like Burial at Sea in 4 months is impossible.
Heh. Well, it fits in with the period its based in. That sort of thing was deemed elegant and chic.

I still need to finish this... it's been sitting on my hard drive forever but never got more than 5 minutes into.
I'm pretty thrilled about the Burial at Sea stuff. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it kind of cheap. When I contemplated DLC for Infinite, I expected it to be about Columbia. I still want to know more about the world that the base game took place in. No, I do not feel this horde mode DLC solves this even with extra voxophones.
I suppose it's just feels as if they're returning to the well on this one.

So both the story packs are going to be 1200 MSP each while the horde mode costs 400 points. Which equals to 2800 MSP.
The season pass, which includes all tree of these packs, is only 1600 MSP, right? If that's the case I don't see why people who only wanted story DLC to be pissed off at the season pass including a horde mode, since they'd still have a 1200 MSP discount, or a 800 point discount if you don't include the 400 MSP of the horde pack.
Tl;dr: Two story DLC's = 2400 MSP (1200 each), season pass is only 1600 MSP, so the season pass is profitable in every possible way you look at it. Even if you don't want the horde mode.
edit: I read on Polygon that both Burial at Sea episodes will be priced at $15 each. Now Kotaku states that they will both net you a total of $20. Does anyone know what the actual price is going to be?
Still 800*2 = 1600, so that means the Clash in the Clouds DLC is still *free* if you buy the season pass.

This! It is very possible that the orignal Brooke reality is the same as Rapture! The tragic thing for me is that they apparently don't know each other which would again suggest they didn't have a happy father/childhood. The other question is if Elisabeth has her powers. In the original games they had resulted because of her switching realities as a baby (if I recall correctly) which might or might not have happened here

Yeah, if you have even a slight interest in CITC I guess it's worth it. I didn't buy the pass but I was expecting a more substantial saving, usually a 20$ season pass gives you 30$ of content.

I love how many people are complaining about the DLC taking a long time, these are the same people that complain about devs working on DLC during main production.
You can't have it both ways folks.

I doubt the reality switching happened here. They are both leading apparently normal lifes in Rapture so it wouldn't make sense.

Clash in the Clouds : nope
Burial at Sea Ep1&2 : in my veins!
I'm really looking forward to those 2 DLCs.
