Doesn't look as good as the original Bioshock.

Why?
I think this looks better than 1 and as compelling as infinite. I moderately like 1 and loved infinite.

Really? It's amazing for all the "genius" of Ken Levine he seems to only make one game over and over.

It looks like Bioshock 1 with lower budget basically. Sure, the picture has a clarity of Infinite, but visual it is not that impressive in comparison to Bioshock 1.

My reaction to the game's reveal wasn't super positive, but the gameplay bits they've shown in this trailer looked good, definitely feels like a Bioshock inspired title. It's going to stay on my radar right now, hopefully they'll deliver on all the promises despite not being backed by a big publisher (and not having a big budget as a result of that).

Can agree with that for the expectation of graphics today.
The visuals in terms of fidelity won't be the issue here. The premise/art and gameplay will be the appeal. That's why people are looking at this. This will be visually appealing just based on art along though. It doesn't need a 300m USD budget to make it special.

I still feel like it is a little bit underwhelming. Like "Deathloop meets Atomic Heart".

Day one.
This and the System shock remake will sate my thirst for more imersive sims.

its on purpose and a direct hint to the "LEGO narrative elements" Levine aimed for. Look at the hinges.

I think this too, cant believe ken is making a trilogy of the player have an electrical hand, the guys talented but boy does he play it safe, no doubt itll have some alternative universe connection to bioshock for the marvel movie fans

They hate it because it reminds them of themselves, how they act and behave toward others.
I mean it couldn't be a more perfect example of projecting.
Also isn't this like 1984 lite?

I love the Bioshock trilogy. One of my favorites in all of gaming. The first game in particular is in my top 5 of all time and is immensely meaningful to me.
But this...I dont know man. It has the look, the plasmids and the style, but I guess I just expected something more and something a bit different from Levine & co after so many years. This just looks like more of what he's good at doing (which isnt a problem because if it aint broke dont fix etc) but yeah. Day zero and all that, but Im bummed as hell that I'm not as excited as I should be.

Definitely because the theming is all over the place. This isn't like Bioshock Infinite where I could tell you it's about a high tech city in the sky and set during the 1920's. I couldn't even tell you what this is about. Seems like he might be getting too pretentious with this one.

It looks better
I just played all three Bioshock’s before selling off my discs - and they’re still good, but blocky by today’s standards. They were my favorite back in the day
So hopefully this is better than Atomic Heart.

For real!! What is going on? I’m only halfway through the State of Play right now, but this was easily the best thing they’ve shown so far. It looks great!

I have no idea man. If this is even half as good as bioshock it'll be better than most games out these days. Not sure why people pass over it.

Finished the rest of the State of Play and this game was definitely the highlight of the show (maybe not counting Death Stranding 2, which was bizarre and weird and super cool, but also it’s Kojima so it could be a fuckin rhythm game for all we know).

What original

I agree. It looks great and will be there when it comes out.
Just a theory but fps guns with magic shit on your hand and weird stuff genre is just too saturated right now. It was fine during Bioshock’s heydays as it was one of the firsts especially on consoles but there’s just too much of it out there nowadays.

That was not entirely what happened. He wanted to quit, because of mental health problems, but Take2 management offered him this option: smaller team, make what you want and take your time.

If the narrative legos Ken Levine talked about pans out we may have a bonafide goty contender.

What Levine is trying to do is to break up stories into these "story bricks" so that he can reassemble them in various combinations, ideally yielding ever changing and fresh narrative experiences for his games. These story bricks can be processed and using a systemic approach to story generation the stories in his games can become actually reactive to player input.
Ken Levine's Narrative LEGO's
I'm offering some thoughts on the idea of "narrative LEGO's" put for by Ken Levine.
Only took him 10 years.

Apparently Ken Levine wrote this blogpost about the game. Very interested if they can pull off choice and consequences beyond binary choices.
