> **[BioShock Infinite Goes Beyond The Sea & Into The Skies](https://kotaku.com/bioshock-infinite-goes-beyond-the-sea-into-the-skies-5607451)** > > The trailer teased a return to the underwater failed Utopia of Rapture, first seen in 2007's BioShock. But last night, we saw BioShock Infinite in action, a live demo. This next big thing from Ken Levine's Irrational Games is something different. Looks promising. Another Dystopia rife with intrigue and story. Looking forward to it, though I’ll be doing so for quite a while as it’s not due until 2012. The Kotaku write up linked above is excellent, definitely give it a read. But the short of it is: Bioshock set in the early 20th century not underwater, but in a flying city - a testament to american pride, progress, patriotism… which apparently goes all sorts of wrong. ---

I’m glad it’s not set in Rapture again. As much as I loved it, going there for a third time would have been a little much. ---

Oohh. Rapture unnerved me, and not in a good way. This looks _fun_. ---

I want the reporter swag from the second video. ---

Bumping - there’s a new [gameplay video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRU0oQl54vE) out, different than the previous video. Looks like at least some of the enemies have plasmid powers as well, which should make things interesting. ---

That 10 minute “gameplay” video looks awesome, but a little too scripted for me to believe it’s straight up gameplay.
