 After Booker rescues Elizabeth, the pair are chased by the city's warring factions; the Nativist and Elite Founders that strive to keep the city for pure Americans, and the Vox Populi, a rebel grouping representing the common people. Booker finds Elizabeth as the cause of conflict, and that she also holds strange powers to manipulate rifts in the time-space continuum that ravage Columbia. To make matters worse , they are chased by Songbird, a large, robotic bird-like creature who had been Elizabeth's friend and warden over the last twelve years of her captivity.

GAMEPLAY


Bioshock follows First Person Shooter perspective for gamers. The Player controls DeWitt throughout the game while Elizabeth is programmed by AI. The Protagonist can perform actions like using a combination of multiple weapons, gear , psychokinetic powers granted through "vigors".

Elizabeth's own powers to fight off hostile foes and make their way through Columbia. The open-air city of Columbia provides for more combat challenges, including combat that takes place aboard the city's Skyline roller coaster system.

 The game features a play of choice , where player has a choice to pick up any action event from the box which suits best to the game's future.

The game will also feature a "1999 Mode", similar to games like System Shock 2 where decisions made by the player will have a more permanent impact on the game, possibly leading the player to an ' no win ' situation and requiring the player to restart from an earlier saved checkpoint.
 

DEVELOPMENT - ANNOUNCEMENT


Bioshock - Infinite was developed from scratch by the studio to provide as different look to its series. The studio also strained hard in action sequences where player must use his brain - cells to complete the task with multiple weapons rather than single powerful weapon.

The Protagonist - DeWitt is portrayed as guy as hard as nutshell but has a tender heart in contrast to his appearance. Artist Troy Baker lends his voice for DeWitt heating up the anticipation.The Protagonist is given voice in contrast to previous protagonist inorder to make player interact with other characters rather being dry and separated.

ElizaBeth

Elizabeth was included for better vision of storytelling first-person shooters and to avoid other tropes used in similar games She also represents a person, working aside the player helping the game to have " feel that touches humanity at it's core " and also to present us the emotional strands prevalent.

Irrational games worked round the clock for about 2 and half years before announcement. Official announcement was made in Aug ,2010 hinting an 2012 release date. But was later pushed to 2013 in order to pack it up as a power house.

 

VERDICT


Bioshock has been a successful shocker to all us in providing us a game that fights for intelligence , perfection and beauty. The past 2 games has been a ultimate treasure for all gamers presenting the best of what we need. Bioshock Infinite assures us that it offers us more quality and quantity than 2 previous games which is very promising to hear and feel. But all can't be said until we see it..........
