Looks nice enough, and I am hoping to see some actually innovative timey-wimey mechanics out of it. Could end up being great.

I don't know, I just can't get over how shameless of a ripoff this games entire design is.
I mean even with it having time travel / altering... man.
I mean did they even do pre production on this game? Or did it just simply take the roughly 10-12 hours to beat Bioshock Infinite to nail this games design?

Talented studios with great writers finally having budget to match is the best part of all the acquisition craze of the last few years.InXile and Obsidian no longer begging for money on kickstarter and going full 3D
And I don’t mean specifically MS acquistions.

In this thread people who have no idea who inXile is or that they created games before Bioshock. This fucking hurts the brain so much or maybe inXile is only for people over 30.
Surprise out of no where personally, we all knew they where finally brewing something first person now they had the bankroll and this looks good and I expect it to deliver.

Dude, we know next to shit about the game's "entire" design except for some tidbits about time travel elements.
Also, being steampunk and first person automatically makes it Bioshock Infinite these days? Geeez.

Yeah fair enough, without knowing exactly what else is within the game I can't say that universally.
So instead I'll say, given what we've seen from the trailer, its art design is stolen from Bioshock Infinite, its narrative theme is stolen from Bioshock Infinite, its imagery is stolen from Bioshock Infinite, some of its world building is stolen from Bioshock Infinite, and a good portion of its combat seems to be stolen from Bioshock Infinite.
The game will have more RPG elements which, given its InXile, is a given, so that's is one point of difference.

Knowing the pedigree of Inxile I might finally get Bioshock Infinite that I have always wanted.

You seriously need to STFU and educate yourself before you start posting nonsense. This game is designed by Jason Anderson who previously worked on Fallout 1/2 and Arcanum to name the few. He was one of the founders of Troika games. I immediately recognized his style when watching the conference yesterday. It screams Arcanum, a game released in 2001, 6 years prior to Bioshock. Just look at some of the art from that game:

I mean while its true that Arcanum was Steampunk, Arcanum was also an isometric Fantasy game with Elves and Orcs, not a Science Fiction first person shooter focused around revolution (speculating a bit here but based on the imagery), revolving around a cult of personality dictator, and featuring time travel, which is why it looks a lot more like Bioshock Infinite than Arcanum.You seriously need to STFU and educate yourself before you start posting nonsense.

At the very least you could concede its pivoted more into Bioshock Infinite no?
Why they only share the steam punk look which its leads have done before. This is a real rpg not just a simple shooter with a big cinematic story like bio shock.

Same, I kept saying it to myself. Everything looked ripped from Bioshock Infinite and I was hyped and then we got to the title screen at the end of the trailer and I was shocked it wasn't Bioshock, lol. Eh... I'll still try it...

When I watched the trailer I was thinking is this a Bioshock infinite sequel and really thought hard where the rights are for that.
So now saying the similarities are complete unintentional is ridiculous. Why can’t they say they were inspired by Bioshock, then it would have been understandable and not questioned anymore, but now they look more like thieves who are not wanting to admit where they got the inspiration from. Yes, there are coincidences but these ones are far beyond plausible.

Heh, yeah the first page is full of shit takes lately.
Did you know that gamers re-discovered 30FPS on consoles and they announced it unplayable? The more you know.

This game very obviously looked like Arcanum, and I said as much in the reaction thread. Bioshock people are either not seeing enough or seeing too much. Troika were on this "alt-cyberpunk" trend before Levine with Fallout (atompunk) and Arcanum (steampunk).

InXile already makes some of the best western RPG's (Wasteland 3 was one of my favorite games in the last few years, and even though it seems like it is close to XCom, it was definitely an RPG). I cannot wait to see what they can do with a budget. They also moved into a new building and staffed way up since being purchased by Microsoft. Glad to see them not having to worry about funding!

When the dark skinned lady showed up (at 0:46) I assumed she was Daisy Fitzroy, leader of the VoX Populi in Bioshock infinite.

This looks completely awesome.
Arcanum I sadly didn't play in full but I loved it's setting, a spiritual successor? Sign me up.
I love the steampunk genre and you haven't really seen it in too long, it's great to see it come back full force like this and the comparisons to Bioshock are valid, but in my view also a plus.

I saw this today, very BioShock Infinite, I'm looking forward to this game, I'm a big fan of all 3 of the BioShock's and let's face it, we ain't getting a new one anytime soon, really liked what they showed

Very happy to hear that you can create your own character.
Anyways, really interested in what I saw. I’m not a huge fan of time altering games but this looked good. Will keep an eye on it.

IMO a lot of these first person RPG's look the same. Crappy character design, and uninspired art style.
All in all, doesn't really look like a PS5/XSX gen game.
