One of the greatest game franchises in recent memory has been 2K/Irrational Games’ Bioshock series. Marrying gorgeous visuals with incredible, deep, and rich storylines, the games were masterpieces, plain and simple. While not strictly horror, there was plenty in the games that genre fans could find appealing, from the deformed Splicers to the oppressive environment of Rapture.
The third game in the series, Bioshock: Infinite, was lauded heavily upon release, ultimately winning multiple Game of the Year awards and blowing away critics and audiences alike. However, it was originally going to be a far different game than what we ended up with. That’s the topic of the below video from YouTuber CrowbCat, who has created a documentary-style clip that goes through the early designs and gameplay elements that were ultimately changed. It’s disappointing to see what the game was originally intended to be, even if the final product is still pretty incredible.
