VGA 2012: Here’s Some New ‘BioShock Infinite’ Gameplay Footage To Make You Ache For Its March Release

Published

on

We’ve had to wait a painfully long time for another game developed by BioShock creator Ken Levine and his Irrational Games studio, but come March, we’ll finally get that game, and so far it looks like it could actually live up to many fans’ astronomically high expectations. BioShock Infinite looks to retain many of the things that made the original so memorable — like an engaging story, a gorgeous setting, and fun, frenetic combat. At the same time, this won’t be the same experience, as Infinite takes us to the skies surrounding the floating city of Columbia. Gone are the wet and rusted halls of Rapture and the Big Daddies that roamed them. They’ve been replaced by huge, floating skyscrapers, a terrifying Songbird creature that hunts you relentlessly, and a new companion, Elizabeth. I think it looks amazing, but you should definitely watch this brand new footage shown at the VGAs last night and decide for yourself.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
