Bioshock Infinite DLC details announced!

[Carfax83]

Everything you need to know

Ken Levine tweeted (everyone is on Twitter these days it seems) that he was,"Excited for tomorrow," and tomorrow will be 7/29/21013. The chances that there will FINALLY be a DLC announcement or some kind of information about the three planned DLC packs is very high I think..

About damn time too! I bought the Season pass so I'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to explore Columbia again. If anything, it was the City of Columbia with it's strange mixture of utopian and dystopian elements that drew me into the game.

While all of the floating sections of the city in the distance will most likely never be accessible, they should definitely open up some new areas to FREELY exlplore. Extra characters, stories and weapons etcetera are important too, but I want to see more of Columbia! :hmm:

I didn't buy the season pass but I am equally excited for DLC for infinite. I thoroughly enjoyed the game.
I hope the DLC is of decent length.

Is anyone else sick of an announcement for an announcement bullshit that has become common placed now? It has gotten so ridiculous that they even make trailers for announcements of announcements.

No, we need to go deeper

Well you can blame Irrational for that, for making us wait months to find out any information about the upcoming DLC. Not even a slip, or a minor leak for God's sake.. If the Gov't had such tight control over information as Irrational does, there would never be any leakage of State secrets.

Now with that said, I regret making this thread. You're actually right that it's ridiculous to make an announcement for an announcement, but in my zeal for any information regarding the upcoming DLC, I posted it anyway.

And sure enough, Levine apparently followed up with a second tweet to tell everyone that the pertinent information will actually be released on Tuesday instead D:

Makes sense I suppose, as anything game or movie related typically happens on Tuesday in America for some reason..

brrraaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm

 

[Grooveriding]

Loved Infinite. But if this is not an actual release of DLC onto Steam, it's fucking pointless. Don't want to hear about it, release it so I can play it!

I'm hereby announcing that my response to your response on announcing announcements is coming henceforth.

My comment wasn't directed at you at all Carfax

It was just an observation on how stupid things have become and that it has become the norm now for some reason. It is like inception level advertising.

Yeah, like how they make trailers to tease movie trailers now. Are you kidding me. I guess I'm must a boring old man these days, but I don't give half a fuck about these announcements. Mainly because when I'm unaware, it's a nice, pleasant surprise down the road when all this shit is released and I don't have to be bothered by all the teasing.

Shouldn't have a problem waiting for a big sale on all DLC

I was disappointed with how limited Infinite turned out given what they promised and showed early on, so I will definitely not be rewarding their bullshit with more money.

 

[Skel]

It's about time they did DLC.. I bought the season pass and wondered if it was ever going to show up. If it turns out to be a gun pack or something equally stupid I may be pissed.

 

[Gunbuster]

They missed the boat on this. Loved the game but it's uninstalled now and barring a sweet steam 70%+ off DLC sale next year it's not getting downloaded again.

TLDR: No info, No timely release, game uninstalled after completing story, DLC not purchased...

Excited to experience more than 10 hours of what was an excellent but way too short of a game.

 

[gothamhunter]

10 hours? FFS man, take your time and enjoy it.

 

[JamesV]

I only got 12 hours into the game, and then had no desire to play anymore. Even Bioshock 2, which got a lot of hate, I've finished twice.

I get it that the world is cool, and they didn't spare a dime to flesh it out, but Infinite feels like Bioshock lite, with the combat feeling generic, even with the rail-lines and different enemies.

DLC? Not interested.

How did you get 12 hours in and not finish? You could finish twice in that amount of time.

Do you just rush through your games? I beat BSI in around 12-14 hours.

 

[Stringjam]

Took me 13 hours to get through.

I thought it was a fantastic game, even though the story loaded with heavy-handed hyperbole.

I'll definitely be putting some eyeballs on the DLC.

I don't know how accurate this is, but after I beat the game, I checked Steam for the amount of hours logged, and it was nearly 25 hours

I did everything and explored as much as possible, but still, I doubt I took 25 hours to beat the game.

 

[Anubis]

my play through was 13 hours and i found nearly 90% of the stuff

not sure what some of you were doing

dont really care about the DLC TBH

 

[Grooveriding]

So where is the announcement ? Or did they need more time to work on the announcement of what they are working on ?

 

[KentState]

I have never purchased DLC for a linear type game. Curious to see what they come up with at this point.

After Levine made that tweak about how information would be released "tomorrow," (on Monday) he made another one shortly after that stated the release date would be on Tuesday instead.

Games are typically released on Tuesdays here in the U.S, so thats probably why he changed the announcement date.

Steam counts all the time you sit in the games start menu etc, not just actual in-game playtime.

That's why Steam says I played GTA4 for 106 hours, but I really played for about 40 of those hours. I often load a game up, and get sidetracked for an hour or more while it sits in the menu.
