Project Icarus Revealed as BioShock Infinite is Annouced
Post by Dan @ 04:06am 13/08/10 | 25 Comments
Irrational Games, creators of the original and acclaimed first person shooter BioShock have lifted the veil on their top-secret new project. After three long years of silence, the Boston-based studio have revealed BioShock Infinite -- an all new tale set in the same Universe as the underwater Rapture of the first game, only this time we'll be taken to another fantastical environment -- a city in the clouds called Columbia.

Three screenshots are available, and you can watch the awesome teaser trailer right here on AusGamers.

Update: AusGamers in-depth preview of the event as well as our interview with Irrational Games' Tim Gerritson

This looks a bit more interesting than Bioshock 2, which didnt really grab me like the original did.

The Icarus plot goes something along the lines of waking up in a derelict hangar bay/plane crash/fish tank then finding your way into an abandoned spacecraft/underwater city/floating metropolis.
After an initial encounter with horribly biologically/genetically/mechanically mutated creatures, you're led on quests by the sole remaining authority figure, Dr Polito/Atlas/the Rose Lady, to perform tasks that they somehow cannot.
Towards the end, you realise that Oh No! the authority figure that you've been talking to this whole time wasn't who they said they were and instead is SHODAN/Andrew Ryan/a puppet for the robot creatures themselves, and you spend your remaining time upgrading your cybernetic modules/plasmids/telekenetic & levitation skills to defeat them and their remnants.

System Shock/System Shock 2 - space
Bioshock/Bioshock 2 - underwater
Bioshock Infinite - sky/clouds

Based on themes used in other games, we could see future Bioshock games with the following themes:
ice/snow
fire/cavern/volcano
jungle/forest
desert

i hope they fix the gunplay aspect of the game. For me that was the only let down of the first game

Out of the 3 trailers that I've just watched, this was certainly the most eye-pleasing and the most interesting.
