Irrational Games

Bioshock Infinite was fairly unique in that it was entirely self-contained with room for discussion, but with plenty of opportunity for DLC. The idea of multiple universes isn't a new one, and it always opens itself up to certain issues, but it did mean that Booker and Elizabeth could end up appearing almost anywhere. So, of course, they ended up back in the underwater city of Rapture. It was an easy way of impressing fans, but it's questionable whether that managed to pay off.

The studio behind the excellent Bioshock Infinite is being shut down, all but 15 members of the staff being laid off and lead Ken Levine is looking to work on smaller narrative-driven games, he has revealed. This isn't entirely surprising - Levine had previously expressed doubts about the future of the Bioshock franchise - but it isn't good news for anybody involved.

There's a huge problem with episode gaming. It takes so damn long. It seems months ago that we were playing The Wolf Among Us, and even longer ago that we returned to Rapture with Burial At Sea. That's mostly because it was months ago, and so the return of Elizabeth via a brand new trailer is something to get very excited about.
