With its head in the clouds, Irrational Games is rewriting the history of the American Century with BioShock Infinite.
Despite his inclusion in the video of developers enthusing about Nintendo's new console during its E3 press conference last month, Ken Levine told IGN: "Just to be clear, there are no plans. I'm not saying it can't happen, but we have no plans to do any games for that platform." While his studio Irrational may not be making games for Wii U, Levine remains vocal in his support for the new system, saying: "There are things about it that, as a core gamer, really appeal to me. We're now getting to a place with Vita and what Nintendo's doing where that's not necessarily going to be the case, where you can play full-on hardcore games in bed with the lights out while your wife's asleep. I like that a lot. That means a lot to me."
Bioshock creator Ken Levine tells OXM that motion control should always be "firewalled off", and never forced on players. "Any experience that sits in the realm of motion play needs to be kept separate from the main experience," he said. "What you don't want to do is add something in and enforce it on anybody."
Speaking during Sony's E3 conference, Irrational's Ken Levine revealed that the developer is working on an NGP title set in the BioShock universe. During his presentation, he also said that BioShock Infinite will feature Move support which Irrational is "just getting their heads around."
Sony took out the elephant in the room, but just how killer was the line-up?
