Bioshock Infinite

[Kreekakon]

Anyway, Bioshock Infinite. Pff... I dunno. It seems weird to me. They are obviously trying to make something entirely new that doesn't have much to do with the previous titles (which I guess is why they didn't call it "Bioshock 3") and thats very admirable.
But then why does it have to be a Bioshock game in the first place? Why not something really new? My bet is that they're afraid it might not sell without the famous name. And that makes me wonder how many creative ideas were scrapped during development because they may have not pleased the Bioshock fan crowd.

I'm guessing that there will at least be some shout-outs to the fans of the original two games. If there aren't, then I don't really see why it's Bioshock if it has nothing to do with the universe.

The developers did state the below, but still:

To me, there's two things that make a BioShock game BioShock.
They take place in a world that is both fantastic and ridiculous.
Something that you've never seen before and something that nobody else
could create except Irrational, but it's also strangely grounded and
believable. The other thing that makes it a BioShock game, it's
about having a huge toolset of power and a huge range of challenges, and
you being able to drive how you solve those challenges.

Also, for the actual game itself, I don't think there's any denying that the game will be gorgeous in its setting. I can't say that much about the actual gameplay yet, since I've yet to see any "true" gameplay. The demos I saw a while back feel VERY scripted, and feel more like an in-engine tech demo rather than the actual gameplay of the actual game itself.
