Gears of Rapture?

[Sans Frontieres]

So...I follow quite a few people on that new-fangled social networking gadget with the little blue bird.


Mr. Clifford Beszinkski of Epic Games, who needs no real introduction, on Saturdays does a Q&A sometimes. One of the questions was:



@therealcliffyb: If you could interview ANY person working in the Videogames industry, who would you choose?


The Answer:



Ken Levine @IGLevine


As a fan of both individuals, it would be really neat to see an interview or a "Irrational Interviews" or something along those lines. There are a ton of topics I'm sure those 2 could chatty Cathy about and it would make people like myself (fans, gamers, people trying to get into the video game industry) EXTREMELY happy. I know I'd be doing backflips and would put on my "Save Carmine" shirt and then stare at my Bioshock 1 poster as I listened.

So...I just saw something that made this thread null and void

Yeah, this thread is quite old, but it's still interesting to talk about it.

Speaking of Cliffy B and Bioshock, did anyone else notice the obvious influence of Rapture design on some of the levels in Bulletstorm? Levels like the Greenhouse seemed to also resemble design sketches from B:I as well. Good to see that some people at Epic/People Can Fly are Bio fans.

Ha...kind of. In,When they were going through the hotel/resort area, a lot of the design seemed reminiscent and I definitely thought about it. Also, there's an achievement in Bulletstorm that pretty much copies one from Minerva's Den (the BS2 DLC) exactly.


<span>In MD you have to destroy the "vaccum bots". In Bulletstorm you have to destroy the "newsbots". They're pretty much the same thing, it's just that there's more of them in Bulletstorm but that's a full game. </span>


I'm not saying this is one of those instances but there seems to be a "thing" where anytime there's a big guy in a suit (or whatever) or a 40's/50's themed place that's been psuedo-abandoned and/or fallen into disrepair, people say "like totally ZOMG, that's SO BioShock". At least I see it on Tumblr a lot

Tony Stark was so Bioshocking when he escaped from that cave.
