Irrational head Ken Levine has said it’s “disappointing” the online community has focused on BioShock Infinite heroine Elizabeth’s “chest” instead of her character, saying any sex symbol status was never his “intent”.

“In the original BioShock, the entire game lived in one corner of [a] graph – few enemies, all at close range — so the Electro Bolt and shotgun were perfect. BioShock Infinite is going to have much greater ranges and, potentially, far more enemies, so we’re greatly increasing the spectrum of encounters that are possible, and that requires the player use a broader set of tools. That being said, it may be a given player will try to find a way to close down those distances and stick with Electro Bolt and shotgun, but I don’t think that’s going to be anywhere near as effective a strategy this time around. They were too devastating in BioShock, we admit that, but we’re not going to solve it by simply nerfing those weapons; we’re doing it by changing the types of encounter you’re going to face.” – Irrational’s Ken Levine to the PS Blog (via Joystiq).

“We’ve got the Move controls working now back at the studio, certainly more so than we had when we announced it at E3, and really we’re just waiting for the opportunity to show that with a new piece of content. It’s working well but we still have a lot of polishing to do. Of all the motion controllers in the world, the Move is the one best suited to a first-person shooter, and a lot of PlayStation games have done a great job incorporating it. I will say that we’re discovering some great opportunities with the Skyline gameplay, but rather than show it to people with an old demo, I’d prefer to show it with a new piece of content.” – Irrational’s Ken Levine to the PS Blog on how the Move controls in Infinite are coming along.

Irrational’s Ken Levine has said the team is handling boss battles in Infinite a bit differently than it did with the original BioShock.

Puzzle Quest 2 for PSP has been canceled, according to Infinite Interactive CEO Steve Fawkner. According to a post on Facebook, Fawkner said: “After Firemint’s acquisition of Infinite, and EA’s acquisition of Firemint, so many people have moved around, that I find myself without enough manpower to finish it.” He goes on to say the cancellation had nothing to do with EA or Firemint, but that he is experiencing an “unfortunate logistical problem where key people are no longer available to work on it.” Fawkner said the game had one sound bug to be fixed, the game “would have been good to go.” Can someone out there help a brother out? Thanks, Joystiq.

Irrational’s Ken Levine has explained in more detail the role Elizabeth with play in BioShock Infinite to RPS, and according to the man himself, she’s a “very you-centered AI,” so you won’t be “obligated” to watch out for her like you would a character in an escort mission.
