A third BioShock game — that would take the series out of Rapture and into the skies, no less — was announced long ago in 2010. The wait has been difficult for Irrational’s latest, but 2012 is upon us, and that means the game isn’t far behind. We caught creative director Ken Levine on his way home from the office and peppered him with a few questions while he dodged crazy Boston drivers.

“Hey, hey mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove,” screams Robert Plant at the opening of Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog.”

“Then a drum will come in, then the bass-line, then Jimmy Page and by the end it’s this huge explosion of sound,” says Ken Levine, creative director and co-founder of Irrational Games. “But it’s a build-up to that. You don’t start at the same level you finish up.”

Irrational's Ken Levine talks next-gen consoles

Francesca OXM — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 00:50:13 +0000

With all the recent rumors swirling around about what's next for Xbox — and videogames in general — Irrrational Games' Ken Levine went on record (well, "video record") to share his thoughts about whether or not the next generation of consoles is necessary just yet.

"It's clear there's still a fair bit of juice left in these machines," he said. "You look at Arkham City, Uncharted and Gears of War and you're starting to see that these games don't look old to me. They look very current."

WHAT I SAW:
BioShock Infinite - Irrational Games' sky-lining sci-fi stunner

WHAT I EXPECTED:
I had the privilege of seeing Infinite during a pre-E3 event a few weeks ago, but the impact of the initial demo viewing still hadn't left me. I had to see it again and did so today. Newsflash: It's still every bit as astounding the second time around.

BioShock review

The way BioShock merges storytelling with deftly crafted action is a brilliant and mostly successful exercise in seeing just how flexible the videogame medium can be. Play it, talk about it, experience it — a game like BioShock won’t happen again for a good long while.

Verdict:

Positives:

Wonderfully dark, atmospheric descent into a rich universe full of surprises and horror. So much going on gameplay-wise, you'll be breathless.

Negatives:

Not wildly innovative, and the ending's not a great payoff.

Questions:
