BioShock Video Puts A Stake Through the Heart of All FPS Cliches

No one can talk about BioShock‘s twists and turn better than the game’s talented and outspoken Creative Director, Ken Levine. In a demo video, he narrates what makes Irrational Games‘ opus BioShock THE game to watch for.

Levine says BioShock will redefine the FPS genre by putting a stake trough the heart of all all FPS cliches: linear order, static environment and cookie cutter AI. From what we’ve seen in this video, the stake hit the bull’s eye.

Levine introduces us to the underground city of Rapture and its extraordinary cast of of characters that must have rolled off some weird science experimental laboratory. For instance, the Big Daddies. These are mutant bodyguards that makes Snoop Dogg’s private army look like Barry Manilow’s back-up singers.

The Big Daddies protect the Little Sisters. Little, innocent-looking girls who can cut though a dead human body the way your granny slices up apple pie. The relationship between the Big Daddies and the Little Sisters is just one eerie example of BioShock’s AI. Levine swears we’ve never been seen anything like it before.

Levine leaves the thumbs up or thumbs down to us gamers. He says we decide if they succeeded in revolutionizing the FPS genre. If this video is an indication of what BioShock will be, we say Buffy the Vampire Slayer couldn’t have done a better job at driving the stake through the ticker.
