@BoolyKole He never promised anything for Judas. It's been tight liped and now all of the Levine haters can suck it. So tired of hearing that LeVine was the problem... Yeah 👍 sure looks like it from the looks of Judas😂 What people don't understand is that there are those that work in the industry as a worker Bee and then there are those who are creative perfectionists... that's LeVine. And while most of the rest of the industry settles for mediocrity LeVine steps in and is going to drop a nuke on the Industry kind of like what BG3 just did. Modern gaming blows and it's because nothing has heart anymore. LeVine is cut from a different cloth whether you like him or not.
@@RexSonic Infinite was really good but check out the video of Crowbcat where people discuss the cut content and what Infinite should be, It will open your mind, but this time Levine is indipendend ,he's in no rush to release the game so I'm more confident. Actually that video (the Bioshock Infinite we never got) tells that Levine idea of JUDAS was meant to be in Infinite but 2K pushed them to crunch time.
I am a Japanese fan of the BioShock franchise and have been waiting for this game since I completed burial at sea part 2. The worlds Ken Levine creates are full of originality and interesting themes.
@@trashpanda2481 the main NPC trio is a boomer Eisenhower republican who has used the phrase "I don't see colour" before, a gen x neoliberal girlboss hillary voter and a depressed millennial having to deal with her friend group falling apart as people move away for jobs in other cities or so they can have their kids in suburbia.
I really need someoen to outline how this isn't just a "play three times to see each of the companion's stories" kinda game. I've been following Ken for years, and heard his vision when he shuttered Irrational, and 2K kept him aboard to develop this future, AI-companion-inspired dream he's had. Knowing his statements and dream, the best I can come up with in my mind is where these 3 AI NPCs are ALSO playing the game simultaneously as you, each running around the station and doing things in realtime, which means your 'branching-paths' directly correspond to their current place and time and actions in the game. It's the only conceivable way where you can have 'infinite' replayability, because your intersection point with each of these other NPCs is so fluid and dynamic, and not a predetermined dialogue or action choice. But given what 'Ol Keighley just said, that does not sound like what this is.
Still more places to explore. An underground colony. A hidden city high in the mountains. An alien planet or dimension. Water, sky and space are the main ones though. Looking forward to Judas!
Genuinely this is THE game i'm waiting for nonstop. I think about it often, and I watch the trailer even more than often. i literally cannot wait and it looks SO good so far
Looks exciting. I like the concept about keeping Tom, Nefertiti and Hope balanced because each character could potentially help or sabotage you during a mission like at 5:40.
My analysis was pretty spot on and I couldn't be happier. Roguelike, Nemesis system, narrative Legos. This is about to be the first GotD- Game of the Decade!
Ken definitely listened to the criticism of Bioshock Infinite to emphasize level design for Judas. Level design is easily the most important factor of immersion and that’s what made the first 2 Bioshock games so immersive. World building and atmosphere is probably second which was the saving grace for Infinite
The last time the Irrational Games logo flashed up at the end of Burial at Sea episode 2, I told myself I'd trust Ken Levine with whatever he did next. It's been a very long time since then, but I'm still going to.
Great shoutout for Friends Per Second, just listened to this and wanted to see more footage. Looks cool but I don't want to get too excited just yet - let's wait when we have a release year!
I’m looking forward to this new Bioshock like game. I’m a huge fan of Bioshock and seeing the guy who created Bioshock bring a new world, with similar gameplay to Bioshock excites me about this game :3
I remember asking you during your Q&A streams about what interesting innovations we should look out for and you immediately linked me the GDC talk of Ken Levine's narrative lego's. Awesome to see the wait paying off and you covering it. The age of game authors is very exciting!
Respect Geoff for Shout Out to Ken and his new project, i exciting and anticipated his narrative lego 11 years after Infinite and this is finally revealed, its just crazy to me and i find another thing facinating - Ken do "Constant and Variables" theme in BI and after "Choice with Non Choice" he is doing All over the place choices after choices and do something no one will done, he is passion about narrative lego concept since gdc talk back in the day and still push this unique approach, damn.. He is probably 1 of the underrated mastermind in gaming industry still and i just glad he is still making his project because he is unique and 1 of the last western master gamedesigners we have. Its remarkable that Levine still want to create something new, like true indie dev.. and he is back to his origin - in space with System Shock. Bioshock 4 is pointless without Ken, this is what we need to wait and play, good luck with this hard project to deliver with team and Ken Levine, hype !
Looks really interesting. In some ways it makes me think of the old point and click The Last Express, where all the passengers lived their lives in real time and you were moving in that world.
Granted there’s a small amount of clips showed but I’m worried if we are fighting robots the whole time. As scary as a big daddy is, a couple of spider slicers were terrifying! I want to bash bad guys with that cool ass hammer you showed lol.
its nice hearing geoff be wholly genuine when talking about a game. a lot of the time during his award shows he has to do ad reads or introduce something that pays the bills but nobody actually cares about, so an absence of that is welcome.
Listen, I understand people are worried about AI in artistic mediums, but I really hope we get games where the CPUs can literally react to your actions in a believable way depending upon what you're doing. Imagine AI that can say anything because their voice is AI generated. They can behave realistically based upon what you do in the game world. Imagine being able to ask a character anything, and they will answer based upon what they know.
i am really curious seeing how this game will play on pc, seeing some of the games interface makes me really curious how the controls translate to kb/m
Will be interesting to see how reception to this plays out, like mechanically it looks like another bioshock game so can this 'narrative lego' thing really be that exciting or complex?
hey look, it's the narrator mechanic from RimWorld but applied to a fps. well. let's see if Ken Levine can deliver on the promise. for those wondering, watch crowbcat's video about Bioshock Infinite.
Yeah, I'm waiting for this, but sadly I wont buy all this infinite replay thing... it will be butchered as Bioshock Infinite was and most games are. It's just the way it is, not enough time, not enough money, beta testers that need hand holding, higher ups that want other things. I would love to be wrong with this one ofcourse. Fingers crossed
Would you kindly release this before im dead
hahahahahhahaa)) +1
No, bye
Game of the year!
"I understood that reference!"
Geez..you’re acting like you’re going to die in the next 10 years.
The whole reason Geoff made the game awards is so that he could play games in advance instead of waiting for the release date like us plebs must.
Geoff is a mastermind.
😂I love that he hearted like yep your damn right I did 😂
Are you excited to play Judas?
I miss BioShock, wanna to see that great design of locations and story, things I love in BioShock
💯💯💯!!!
Release date ? 😢
@@antareszr9746 Already been confirmed March 2025
YES
I missed the dark mood and RPG-like progression of Bioshock 1 and 2. Looks like this recaptures that, looking forward to it.
This is straight up a bioshock game. Plot twist at the end theres a lighthouse.
I hope there is
And?
No game I repeat No game can match Bioshock
@@ivaerz4977 this game can
@ivaerz4977 bioshock is a great game but a lot of games are better than bioshock including its predecessor.

Don't forget this is how he is. Big promises with big cuts near the end of production.
@@BoolyK This. I was pretty bummed with what was cut from Infinite. Will have to wait and see with this one.
@@BoolyK He had to cut the content because of xbox 360's puny hardware
@BoolyKole He never promised anything for Judas. It's been tight liped and now all of the Levine haters can suck it.
So tired of hearing that LeVine was the problem... Yeah 👍 sure looks like it from the looks of Judas😂
What people don't understand is that there are those that work in the industry as a worker Bee and then there are those who are creative perfectionists... that's LeVine.
And while most of the rest of the industry settles for mediocrity LeVine steps in and is going to drop a nuke on the Industry kind of like what BG3 just did.
Modern gaming blows and it's because nothing has heart anymore. LeVine is cut from a different cloth whether you like him or not.
@@弘睿甫 and whose job is it to check that these systems will actually work before marketing it? Lmao
Bioshock is one of the greatest games ever. So pumped for this. Don’t let me down Kenny!
I feel like a child seeing Ken make another step in his particular way to make games 😭
People are still hype for a project Ken's involved in post Bioshock Infinite? We didn't learn? Lmao
Infinite was a banger@@Axisoflords
Infinite was better than the majority of AAA games that has come out in the last decade.@@Axisoflords
@@Axisoflords Infinite was a great FPS with amazing characters and ambiental narrative! And I LOVE Bioshock and System Shock 2

Bioshock is in my top 3 ever. Truly an experience in HS. Been waiting for Kens return. Judas will be amazing.

This looks great!! Thanks for the update G.
Man it's gonna be a shame that I'll never see the other two characters because I'm just gonna follow what Hope tells me to do the whole game.
She's so relatable

This looks like a masterpiece in the making.
the legend Ken Levine is finally back!
2013 ken levine: i want to make something other than bioshock
2024 ken levine: so i had this idea of a lighthouse in space...
Love to see how much this guy cares about good games. And really cool how the characters can remember what u do.

We now have a true trilogy. Water, Sky, Space theme!
Still more places to explore.
An underground colony. A hidden city high in the mountains. An alien planet or dimension.
Water, sky and space are the main ones though. Looking forward to Judas!
He did System Shock 2 which is space themed
@@vezeveerzoomer moment
@TotalMobilizationOfLifeForce I'm not a zoomer and I've played system shock 1 & 2 after i played bioshock and i like them Better than bioshock.
@@Jeikuxd System shock 1 and 2 were failures.
Very much looking forward to this.
This is game design at its finest. This is what David Jaffe was talking about when it cakes to using narrative with game design
Man the game looks good! Loved BioShock and this has a similar vibe, with Ken Levine in the directors seat. Should be a good game 😊
Cant wait to play the game and i hope the game is replayable
This sounds SO freaking cool
I’m sold…shut up and take my money 🔥
What he 👆🏾said
Same brother
A game called sacrifice did this sort of thing back in 2000. Was REALLY cool as well as criminally underrated.
Genuinely this is THE game i'm waiting for nonstop. I think about it often, and I watch the trailer even more than often. i literally cannot wait and it looks SO good so far
This is why im subed to this channel because i wound have never discovered this game. This looks great.
It was at the game awards.....
Thanks for the dialog about the game, Geoff. As a Bioshock fan too, I'm really excited to see how Judas turns out.
So stoked for this!

Please KEN before my lungs die I would love to play this lol
It’s so nostalgic yet so new. I’m so stoked! Was 12 when the first bioshock released and haven’t been the same since
The last time the Irrational Games logo flashed up at the end of Burial at Sea episode 2, I told myself I'd trust Ken Levine with whatever he did next. It's been a very long time since then, but I'm still going to.
I love the art style of Ken’s games. This is very Bioshock looking and I’m all for it
We really have to wait another year for this...😭
loved the bioschock series been waiting for this since the game awards!🔥
This could be game of the year
This is already a 10/10 game and you can't change my mind on that, you just can't!
Lets play the gsme first
@@BlackPillVillain Fair enough
Kudos to Take-Two for believing in Levine's vision for so long and not cancelling it prematurely.

Gosh I want this game to come out soon so bad . I just have a bad feeling it’s not going to be out anytime soon
Definitely on my radar
Goes straight to the top of my most anticipated list.
Hope it runs on ps5 🤞
I was not expecting this much info to drop on the game. Ive been waiting to buy a current gen console for a game like this. Great breakdown!
Digital preorder soon ❤
Don't pre-order games.
They never learn
Ooh I can’t wait for this game
If it looks and plays like BioShock im all for it. I miss those games. Cant wait for bio4 if thats ever coming out but judas will do.
I remember asking you during your Q&A streams about what interesting innovations we should look out for and you immediately linked me the GDC talk of Ken Levine's narrative lego's. Awesome to see the wait paying off and you covering it. The age of game authors is very exciting!
Man i desperately need this game to come out asap!!!
In Ken we trust
Press X to end racism
Infininite is one of my GOAT fps list. Game touched my core, it stayed with me long after the credits rolled.

this game looks unreal, like it doesn't seem like its an actual playable game. I can't describe it. I would love to play it
Keen to see what it all comes out like. Some cool inventive design of environments, characters, dog spaceship, etc! :D
Already preordered ❤
I feel like this is more related to System Shock 2 tbh, and I've been itching for that
I'M SO EXCITED THANK YOU GEOFF
its nice hearing geoff be wholly genuine when talking about a game. a lot of the time during his award shows he has to do ad reads or introduce something that pays the bills but nobody actually cares about, so an absence of that is welcome.
This is F*****ing awesome‼️
Hyped for this game🎉
really good to know about this game, made by bioshok creator... loved the series (still need to finish the third one)
I knew it’s a bioshock game just by looking at the RUclips video thumbnail, and then, after playing, saw the “from the creators of bioshock” 🤯🤯😍

Looks great. Hopefully it's as good as Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite.
Looks pretty dope
It's very similar to system shock ngl
Bioshock + the Shadow of Mordor nemesis system?
Yeah I need this game NOW!!! 💯💯💯
No offense to Keighley, but tell me why my dumbass was expecting RoosterTeeth Geoff lmfao.
Bioshock is one of my favorites and the best of all the bioshocks. I'm excited and ready for this game. Let's go!
i am really curious seeing how this game will play on pc, seeing some of the games interface makes me really curious how the controls translate to kb/m
No one make games like Levine.
After Levine overpromised on Bioshock Infinite up to release, I'll wait for this to come out and then I might pick it up
I can't wait to play this game ! I'm huge fan of Bioshock games .
Ghost story games should've gone to pax east! This would have been awesome to be hands on with
Really looking forward to this, looks really great!
Bioshock is a great series (Yes, even 2. It's my favourite actually.)
just wowser... can't wait to feel that game)
I absolutely cant wait for this game!!!@
So it is basically like in Far Cry 4 where you have to decide who you want to stand with and do the mission, Amita or Sabal...
BioShock in space? But BioShock was just simplified System Shock 2 underwater.
So if he has the engine ready… let’s make a bioshok remake.
Can't wait
Will be interesting to see how reception to this plays out, like mechanically it looks like another bioshock game so can this 'narrative lego' thing really be that exciting or complex?
Thanks ghost story, thanks Ken Levine.
Can't wait for the inevitable crowbcat vid.
The dev version looks like Bioshock Infinite this is gonna look decent
hey look, it's the narrator mechanic from RimWorld but applied to a fps. well. let's see if Ken Levine can deliver on the promise.
for those wondering, watch crowbcat's video about Bioshock Infinite.
Peppino wants to know your location, Geoff!
im scared, i was literally thinking of the game awards like five minutes ago???
quick, think of bloodborne 2
Please FOV slider
New Game +
Karma system
Choices matter.
Film grain, lens flare, etc toggles.
The game is literally built on ur choices matter
Yeah, I'm waiting for this, but sadly I wont buy all this infinite replay thing... it will be butchered as Bioshock Infinite was and most games are. It's just the way it is, not enough time, not enough money, beta testers that need hand holding, higher ups that want other things.
I would love to be wrong with this one ofcourse. Fingers crossed
