Previously shown only to press behind closed doors, 2K has let slip nearly 10 minutes of mind-blowing, vertigo-inducing gameplay footage from BioShock Infinite. You might want to have an air sickness bag at the ready.
This extended gameplay trailer is currently available on Xbox.com and through Xbox Live on your Xbox 360, but as reader Andrew points out, it’s already all over YouTube and ready for mass consumption.
The game’s hero, Booker DeWitt, seems to possess a great deal more character than the protagonists from previous BioShock titles, which should come in handy when dealing with the incredibly powerful (not to mention adorable) Elizabeth.
I’m just worried my fear of heights will keep me from making it through the game. Those rollercoaster hook travel segments nearly had my lunch painted across my computer monitors.

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 11:16 AMThis looks absolutely amazing. But there is no way that is gameplay footage in the sense that it represents a controller in the hand guided tour. That has to be “rendered” gameplay footage made to look like the experience complete with crosshairs and on screen damage indication.
Either way, i’m still buying it. Amazing art design. And when he caught the rocket fired from the tank…. Whoa.

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 2:17 PMLooks amazing! Bear in mind this is an incredibly scripted demo. If anyone listens the XBOX World 360 podcast then you’d know they spoke about this demo and how the person playing rehearsed and it was all very set up, yet there was still someone playing. So far looks like another must buy!

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 3:18 PMWow wow wow. I love how the developers portray Broken Utopias. Scenes like the lady sweeping in front of a burning building and in the original the lady with the pram. Wow.

Looking forward to this.

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 5:44 PM…just wow. 2K looks as though they have really upped the ante with this one. Scripting aside, the game looks unbelievable. It will be a nice change – to be out in the open with lots of colour as opposed to the bottom of the sea in rapture, where everything had muted tones (even though that in itself was awesome for the story’s atmosphere). I have been meaning to go back and play BIOSHOCK 1 and 2 again, and after watching this I think I will.
