Interview – Irrational Games’ Ken Levine
Shown to press in New York last week, BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter set in 1912 from Irrational Games and Ken Levine – one of the masterminds behind our first venture into Rapture with BioShock 1.
Ken Levine is on-hand at gamescom this week, chatting to the press about Infinite, and Keza MacDonald was given the opportunity to speak with him on our behalf.
This time, Levine and company are taking us to skies, in a game Keza describes as “breathtaking, vertiginous and invigoratingly surprising”.
Below the page fold is the interview in it’s entirety, where Levine tells us how Irrational doesn’t think of “Infinite as BioShock 3”, yet it’s still “totally a BioShock game”.
