Visiting the website of PC Gamer magazine left me optimistic, yet a little wary of Irrational Games’ upcoming entry in the Bioshock franchise. Retro-Futurist fans rejoice! Bioshock Infinite transports us to an Industrial Age America where the Rapture-like metropolis of Columbia floats in the air. The steampunk aesthetic seems a reasonable choice considering the Art Deco environments of Rapture.
Along with many who posted on PC Gamer, I greatly anticipate immersing myself in the world of Columbia in the same way I was enchanted with Andrew Ryan’s ill-fated experiment. However…
Hopefully it will not be so derivative of the first game that it will feel like playing a mod. Regardless, I excitedly await.
A parting thought related to Bioshock…
I recently visited New York, New York casino and resort.
I was incredibly creeped-out by the casino floor/restaurants as it overwhelmingly reminded me of Rapture. At the same time, I LOVED it!
