Check out the first few minutes of ‘BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea’

By Ryan Fleming Published April 24, 2023

If you wish to remain completely unspoiled in regards to the upcoming DLC for BioShock Infinite, then you may want to skip the video below. It doesn’t give out any major spoilers, but it does show the first few minutes of the game, including a look at the city of Rapture and some hints as to what the plot is all about – at least the obvious plot.

As we discussed in our preview, the DLC features a different DeWitt and Elizabeth from the pair we saw in BioShock Infinite, and it’s set in a different time (although knowing the BioShock series the truth is more complicated than that). Burial at Sea, the first of the two planned DLCs for Infinite, takes place in Rapture just before things went bad – very bad.

DeWitt remains a detective for hire, but his office is located in Rapture and he is very much a citizen of Andrew Ryan’s underwater utopia. Elizabeth – a different, more femme-fatale Elizabeth than you know from Infinite – seeks him out to help find a girl that DeWitt believes is dead. The two then walk through Rapture at its peak.

Check out the clip below, and check out our recent interview with Ken Levine for more about the creation of Burial at Sea.

We need to start having real conversations about AI in gaming

Copilot Quake II game.

AI has become a dirty word across almost every discipline over the past few years. As big corporations keep pushing this technology forward, a vocal resistance among creatives, critics, and passionate communities has risen up in opposition. While every creative medium is at risk of AI influence now, gamers are particularly sensitive about this technology sucking the creativity and human element from our beloved medium. Even the mere mention of AI being used in game development triggers a massive backlash, but we need to start being more nuanced in how we talk about the ways AI should and should not be used. Because, like it or not, AI is going to become more ubiquitous in gaming. We can't keep talking about AI as though it is a black-and-white thing. It is a tool, and like any tool, there are ways it can be used appropriately.

The question we need to ask ourselves now is, when is it ethical to use and what crosses the line?

Mecha Break is the closest I’ve felt to piloting a real Gundam outside Japan

Key art for Mecha Break.

In 2015, in a mostly-empty arcade in Fukuoka, I slid into the pilot seat of a Gundam.

I pulled the door down, watching as it seamlessly merged with the rest of the wall and turned into a display of my surroundings. As I pulled the earpiece down, the radio crackled to life as other pilots greeted me through comms.
