they should just release a dlc with the concept storyline aka this video (alternate campaign) but what would be interesting is if raptures splicers came up to the top try take over columbia as well war of the two different worlds
I was hoping he'd be a final boss or something at the end. I was expecting the usual big boss battle at the end of the game to let us know the game was coming to an end, so I was confused at first when the game ended after a shootout and few blimps blowing up. I was also expecting the Handyman to be a boss or something like a Big Daddy. I ain't mad about it, but it definitely threw me off my expectations.
I was actually looking forward to something like that my first time playing. I beat the game but I wasn’t too happy with it, it was very underwhelming… although the ending was kinda cool
If u dwelled into the storyline this universe is actually Canon. At the end of the game every Elizabeth from every timeline comes to Booker and in the back you see the exact same Elizabeth from this Beta amongst the other alternate versions of herself
It will always hurt to see how much they had to cut/change for the final product. I think Levine once mentioned that they cut enogh content for 4-5 seperate games. Even in the final product there is way too much that can be found out of bounds thar went unused. (Even a lighthouse in space - which may indicates that system shock exists within the same universe) Whats even more frustrating is all the story and lore that never saw the light of day and judging from the early footage there has to be A LOT.
BackdriftNightfall gameplay was especially bad (although the movement was way better than in bioshock 1) The story just felt....unfinished. Most likely because they planned it to be bigger and way more complex but therefore better to understand or better to get into. Especially the world of columbia felt extremely trimmed down! Story and gameplay wise Visuals were great though, but I prefer the lighting of the first demo. Felt darker, more serious. More bioshock-ey
Do not believe everything people say. It was impossible to make content for 4-5 separate games in just a short time. It was just market speech to hype up the game.
It is not even the alterated story that was a letdown to me but the fact that all these really vertical levels were removed. The whole "feeling like a rollercoaster" skyrails are completed remove. The city also looks way smaller with all the big skyscrappers removed.
probably cause of console limitations caused this and lower end pcs, the area is massive compared to the final game and consoles would not of been able to run that.
@@QueenRobyn yes that sounds probable, concept gameplay is one thing but able to make it run flawlessly on that gen console is another thing they have to consider.
Given the benefit of heinsight I think it's pretty obvious that that kinda stuff would never make it into the game since the old consoles were never going to be able to handle it. I mean it's quite impressive they managed to do what they did on those consoles.
@@QueenRobyn hell most PC's were barely able to run the game on release due to their stupid used of 8k textures on the paintings, while everything else looked like it was made of 1 color plastic.
I really feel like all those skyscrapers and cut areas would have made columia seem actually big. In the final game it more looks like a small village in the sky
If they just kept the skyscrapers and the look of the city from the 2011 version it would've made the game feel larger than it actually is, the mormon town aesthetics did not go well with the linear small areas of the game.
I am waiting the day till this beta build gets leaked and we get to experience the game as the devs originally inteded. At least to some extend, that is.
I am so hoping that happens. The GoldenEye 007 remake for xbla was found and leaked recently, so no reason for other games now...like BioShock Infinite Proper
I still question why haven't they did this for the main game, it would have saved them alot of time because they already got some from the demo and it would have been alot more easier because of that.
the beta build (at least the first one) never existed in the first place. its clearly just a series of scripted events, including scripted camera movement and scripted "player" actions. the 2nd one likely was an actual thing, but once again being just a tiny portion of what the game actually was, sectioned off for the sake of the video and full of scripted everything except the player, to try and hype a game most people didnt even know was coming out due to shit marketing.
There are rumours that they are working on it by the codename of "Project Parkside". If you like BioShock, I can recommend you to play Prey (2017) and Dishonered (2013) if you haven't played these games already. Also, people are remaking the original SystemShock. It is supossed to release in 2020. It's the game that inspired BioShock.
@@viktorvondoom9119 dont care for any of the mentioned above i just want my bioshock back doesnt even have to have booker and elizabeth though id like another more modern game with them in it or perhaps a full on re-do of infinite but this time with the tech to do whatever they want as im sure PS5 and Xbox Series X and the beastly PCs now can more than handle it

I truly believe i think Irrational Games should release the beta version of Bioshock Infinite to the public, instead of just wasting the content, would much rather have it available to everyone, and i think all Bioshock games deserve to have mod support on pc / consoles. Dont get me wrong, i enjoyed the final version of Infinite, i just wish we got this version too.
These gameplay pieces look extremely scripted, it's clear most of it was cutscene driven and not gameplay. I think, there is no "beta game" there are demos of certain levels, tests, slightly different environments, different combat demos. There isn't an alternate version that even close to complete.
@@kabeltelevizio Agreed. It's really a shame though, that they couldn't deliver something close to this. These versions of Columbia are much more interesting than the finalized product. Skyrails or not, I still want to explore early Columbia more than I do the actual game I payed for.
@@jordans8689 I am sure some of it was cut due to story and narrative reasons, so I am not sure these city sections were "better" than the final game just different.
The game had so much potential. I am sure the 360 and PS3 could not handle the open world Columbia which is why they restarted the project as a corridor shooter.
i honestly hope no, i think they've ended the story well enough but i remember someone from 2K saying that there are more stories to tell in Bioshock so it'll probably come anyway
Yup, 2k have already saide lik 2 years ago that bioshock is a permanent franchise. With that being said I am more than satisfied with what we already have and how the story ended with burial at sea.
A lot of this stuff is heavily scripted and if you sit down to think about it would be highly impractical for real gameplay. I honestly believe we got the best version of Bioshock Infinite that was possible at the time.

Is it just me or the cut content is actually good ? Especially the parts where Elizabeth and Booker are joking around and seems like they are actually a team/friends. Seems better I dunno, maybe I just want another bioshock
I want to see someone make a bioshock inifinite game like how it was intended. With columbia falling, everyone gone crazy, comstock being younger. Like in the beta
I'm still convinced that if Irrational had aimed for a 2014 release date and made it a next-gen exclusive (and PC), we would've gotten this version. I still hope Cloud Chamber borrows environments and ideas from both Infinite E3 demos to use in the next Bioshock.
I adore this version of Elizabeth. She was already fun to play beside/with because she wasn’t a regular damsel but this more interactive and expressive version is, for lack of a better word, very cute. I’d protect her from a million Songbirds

To folks bawling over Cyberpunk 2077 having cut content, that was relatively minor compared to this. Infinite is still good though but dammit it had so much potential and the previous games are so much better in pacing and gameplay.
The scene that begins at 13:00 ...It's just crazy how different the dynamics between Elizabeth and Booker are compared to the main game. Here they really seem like father and daughter to me. In the main game, they seem to be on the same level of maturity - like partners
It’s pretty obvious that the past gen consoles like the 360 and PS3 couldn’t handle all of these things. Man I hope we get a director’s cut for PS5 and XSX or a new Bioshock game. They can do so much now with these new consoles.
Maybe with consoles in the next generations getting more powerful they can implement a way to have Columbia an open world like they originally wanted to.
Oh! So it was supposed to be open world? It definitely appeared that they wanted to go down that route, but ended up cutting it out. I heard they are possibly looking to make the next one open world, but we'll see.
i remember watching the trailer at 8:30 on repeat for years just speculating, I honestly didn't hate the final product, but I would be lying if I said I prefer it to what was promised
Can we all just agree that this game needs a Remaster with The Directors cut because ever since I watched the demo when it first released was a masterpiece until the final product.
The second model of Elizabeth appears in the final scene of Infinite as one of the Elizabeths! So it could be they accepted these pre-builds as another universe...
13:00 I remember when that demo came out. I must have watched it a million times. It literally blew my mind. While the final product did not turn out that way, Infinite DID NOT disappoint. I think about that gaming experience all of the time. It was brilliant.
MY GOD this version seems so much more interesting than what we got hopefully the ending probably would've been different which I would've loved and the little wholesome cute moments between Booker and Elizabeth AH!!!!HOPEFULLY THE NEW GAME BIOSHOCK RECENTLY ANNOUNCED IS A COMPLETEL VERSION OF THIS?
I mean, I love Elizabeth the way she is right now, however I would love to see a lot of the things shown here. Elizabeth interactions and how she grows to learn her power would be really interesting.
Not just HL2 leak but Battlefront III, GoldenEye remastered, Dinosaur Planet and even the Serious Sam alpha leak. I'm sure we'll eventually get it. I mean it's definitely sitting on a hard drive somewhere.
I absolutely love the final version of the game we got, but this looks to be on a whole other level... How could the story, design, and gameplay change SO MUCH between beta and final?? I've heard rumors about the next bioshock returning to Rapture, which does sound great, but there's something about the world of Columbia that had me TOTALLY captivated... It felt like such a real place, a place I would absolutely love to go in real life. The atmosphere, visuals, and rollercoaster like gameplay of Infinite just destroys the first 2 games hands down... In my humble opinion at least.
The atmosphere, Colombia and the relationship/duo of Booker and Elizabeth had me enamored with Infinite. I love how your daughter now actually goes through the game with you unlike in Bioshock 2 where Eleanor only really does thing with you towards the very end. Burial at Sea was too much of a depressing way to end infinite. Just give us a reality where Booker and Elizabeth got to be together and knew the truth of eachother. You can still add conflict just let us see how it would be if those two at least got sort of a happy ending together.
Half life fans could recreate the betas of their games because they actually had access to earlier builds of their games. (i.e the 2002-2003 leak of HL2, the alpha build of HL1, the 2016-2017 leak of more HL2 beta builds, HL1 day one demo) Bioshock fans can’t because they don’t have access to beta of their games because they were never leaked. You can’t do much with this footage because there’s a myriad of things you can’t learn from watching footage that are needed to recreate a beta with.
Love this first one. Remember all of it. Interesting what actually went into the final game. The moving mechanical horse would have caused trouble in the final game. That was still XP time on Windows in 2012.
That thing at 0:07 is terrifying. It’s docile state is so unnerving. The early prototype looked to be more of a horror game, but I’m still very happy with the final product.
Songbird was also suppose to be a bigger threat as well and would appear in areas and have to sealth in most areas also heavy hitters like boys of silence would appeared in more areas as sort surveillance can see one standing in what looked like fairgrounds
Going with the alternate universe theme this is how it might be for booker and elizabeth in another universe. Similar outcomes but in a different setting.
It feels so weird seeing this compared to what we were left with. Like, I can see why people like Infinite, but it never felt like Bioshock to me. It didn't have that background feeling of unease that the first 2 had. The beta version of Infinite is far more of a Bioshock game than the final product was, even including Burial at Sea.
Y'know, it's undeniable that there are a lot of interesting ideas here. Though I do have to wonder how much of this is actual gameplay and how much is pre-rendered footage, especially with everyone in the comments asking for them to release these betas. Either way I still agree that these ideas and concepts should have been in the final build.
I remember seeing this near when bioshock infinite came out and I honestly thought this looked cooler than what we ended up with. Shame we will never see this for what it could have been if pushed further
Many people are down about what Bioshock Infinite could have been, I say it’s like writing a story or an essay. Lots of drafts and ideas are cut out to refine the story. And that refinement became the Bioshock that we got.
@@East_sidex1 compared to the beta versions, it is. It's still a good game, I played and got all achievements. Can't just compare to the beta, the final release is: crap
@@eyetipe8362 there is not going to be another bioshock game dont play with people's hopes like that. irrational games doesnt exist anymore so u cant even make a Bioshock 4
Most of these videos are pre-rendered ... And yes, the atmosphere of the prototypes was very similar to the previous parts. It's a pity that all of this was abandoned.
I just finished Infinite today and I as much as I still loved the whole game from beginning to the end it would've been a whole lot better if we got this
It’s sad how ever prevent iteration of the game looks way more fun than the actual release. Not to say that it was bad, but it saddens me to see how much better it could’ve been
None of the demo's were ever playable. And we know that because they were tech demo's. The devs openly admitted that nothing they showed was actual playable material.
@@tiernanstevens117 that's weird cuz I specifically remember seeing stuff from the video in the stores too and like stoked for the game, was probably a video demo I was all into then while playing other demos
ive always wondered what caused them to give us the one they did. the infinite we got was good but i always felt it was trying to hard to be super mind bending.
I just wonder how much money they blew on all of those scrapped builds. Cause that's fully scripted and voiced sequences unlike the most prototypes we see.

Bioshock Infinite is a great game that could have been the greatest game ever.
LMAO
Why only could ?
Its the best Singleplayer Shooter i have ever Played !
@@DerShadow With all do respect man. You need to play more shooters.
Infinite was pretty fucking good, dare I say the best FPS I've ever played. I've never seen a game do anything NEAR what infinite pulled off.
@@mrplayfulshade1038 play bio 1
To folks bawling over Cyberpunk 2077 having cut content, that was relatively minor compared to this. Infinite is still good though but dammit it had so much potential and the previous games are so much better in pacing and gameplay.
The scene that begins at 13:00 ...It's just crazy how different the dynamics between Elizabeth and Booker are compared to the main game. Here they really seem like father and daughter to me. In the main game, they seem to be on the same level of maturity - like partners
It’s pretty obvious that the past gen consoles like the 360 and PS3 couldn’t handle all of these things. Man I hope we get a director’s cut for PS5 and XSX or a new Bioshock game. They can do so much now with these new consoles.
Seeing a slightly different Elizabeth made me feel nostalgic, like meeting an old friend.
honestly i like bookers orgininal voice more then what we got, mostly i love the line ''HE WAS ALREADY ANGRY''
So this is the sandbox version of Bioshock Infinite! I loved the game. 1999 mode is Cruelly Awesome.
That 3:49 Charles always give me goosebumps
Maybe with consoles in the next generations getting more powerful they can implement a way to have Columbia an open world like they originally wanted to.
Oh! So it was supposed to be open world? It definitely appeared that they wanted to go down that route, but ended up cutting it out. I heard they are possibly looking to make the next one open world, but we'll see.
We should petition for something like a Resident Evil remake. A reinterpretation of Infinite with some of the original concepts added back in.
i remember watching the trailer at 8:30 on repeat for years just speculating, I honestly didn't hate the final product, but I would be lying if I said I prefer it to what was promised
I recognize the artist of your pfp, feve on FA correct?
Can we all just agree that this game needs a Remaster with The Directors cut because ever since I watched the demo when it first released was a masterpiece until the final product.
The second model of Elizabeth appears in the final scene of Infinite as one of the Elizabeths!
So it could be they accepted these pre-builds as another universe...
13:00 I remember when that demo came out. I must have watched it a million times. It literally blew my mind. While the final product did not turn out that way, Infinite DID NOT disappoint. I think about that gaming experience all of the time. It was brilliant.
miLliON tImEs ew...
MY GOD this version seems so much more interesting than what we got hopefully the ending probably would've been different which I would've loved and the little wholesome cute moments between Booker and Elizabeth AH!!!!HOPEFULLY THE NEW GAME BIOSHOCK RECENTLY ANNOUNCED IS A COMPLETEL VERSION OF THIS?
I mean, I love Elizabeth the way she is right now, however I would love to see a lot of the things shown here. Elizabeth interactions and how she grows to learn her power would be really interesting.
I love the Bioshock franchise, but when I saw this, you've got to be kidding, I would prefer a lot of years of development instead the final version
At the same time Duke Nukem Forever spent a lot of years in development and it uh...didn't turn out so well.
Dude if we get a beta leak similar to the half life 2 leak it would be the greatest
Not just HL2 leak but Battlefront III, GoldenEye remastered, Dinosaur Planet and even the Serious Sam alpha leak. I'm sure we'll eventually get it. I mean it's definitely sitting on a hard drive somewhere.
I absolutely love the final version of the game we got, but this looks to be on a whole other level... How could the story, design, and gameplay change SO MUCH between beta and final?? I've heard rumors about the next bioshock returning to Rapture, which does sound great, but there's something about the world of Columbia that had me TOTALLY captivated... It felt like such a real place, a place I would absolutely love to go in real life. The atmosphere, visuals, and rollercoaster like gameplay of Infinite just destroys the first 2 games hands down... In my humble opinion at least.
The atmosphere, Colombia and the relationship/duo of Booker and Elizabeth had me enamored with Infinite. I love how your daughter now actually goes through the game with you unlike in Bioshock 2 where Eleanor only really does thing with you towards the very end. Burial at Sea was too much of a depressing way to end infinite. Just give us a reality where Booker and Elizabeth got to be together and knew the truth of eachother. You can still add conflict just let us see how it would be if those two at least got sort of a happy ending together.
Nah Bioshock in rapture is far better than Columbia
@@kylethej3775i am going to make a bioshock movie set in columbia just to anger you.
They really fooled everyone with these cinematics. Nothing about the way the player moves looks realistic for a second.
Much as I love Bioshock 3 to death, I wish some of these elements were actually kept in the game, some of this stuff is really cool.
I love the early version of Comstock
When the beta's and prototypes were better than actual finished game.
Thanks for posting this. As a fan of the game it’s amazing.
Still one of my favorite games of all time. I may not be what they showed, but it's still a masterpiece.
5:28 Sounds like Stephen Russell of Fallout 4/Skyrim (Nick Valentine/Mercer Frey) voiced Booker before Troy Baker!
Stephen Russell would be amazing in the role of Booker. I like Troy Baker but his voice gets old once you hear him in every big game.
The combat for this seems way more intense then the retail version. Sure the retail version is a legend but I like this intense combat more.
I love this. I'm actually sad right now that they cut all of this
this should of been a free dlc called unfinished business
i wish bioshock fans were as dedicated as half life fans to recreate this beta
Sadge
@@fillb0t51 what?
@@thedoomslayer5863 even more sadge
@@fillb0t51 no
Half life fans could recreate the betas of their games because they actually had access to earlier builds of their games. (i.e the 2002-2003 leak of HL2, the alpha build of HL1, the 2016-2017 leak of more HL2 beta builds, HL1 day one demo)
Bioshock fans can’t because they don’t have access to beta of their games because they were never leaked. You can’t do much with this footage because there’s a myriad of things you can’t learn from watching footage that are needed to recreate a beta with.
the first original idea is always better, even if it seems stupid the next day.
Nice, I love seeing dev builds of games!
This is the next game we're playing on our channel, so this is some useful background info. Thanks!
This wasn't Dev build. All of these were public trailers released at some point or another.
there is so much going on in this it is absolutely overwhelming! really interesting to see what the early ideas were
I remember watching these trailers and all the leaks, I was so hyped for this game but looking back god I wish we got the beta version
Love this first one. Remember all of it. Interesting what actually went into the final game. The moving mechanical horse would have caused trouble in the final game. That was still XP time on Windows in 2012.
That thing at 0:07 is terrifying. It’s docile state is so unnerving. The early prototype looked to be more of a horror game, but I’m still very happy with the final product.
It was an Art Nouveau city as a "counterpart" to Rapture's Art Deco.
Leandro Ingrassia cool!
i could swear there was supposed to be multiple endings in the original version based on how often you used or abused Elizabeth's powers.
Songbird was also suppose to be a bigger threat as well and would appear in areas and have to sealth in most areas also heavy hitters like boys of silence would appeared in more areas as sort surveillance can see one standing in what looked like fairgrounds
I really want to see a release of the initial versions. Would be cool as technically they can all be considered canon.
Stephen Russell as Booker... Not a choice I thought I would need in my life.
His voice and screams don't seem to work, it constantly switches between Garrett and Nick Valentine
Can you point out the differences for people that doesnt know? And i wish we got this version. I felt cheated playing the actual game lol
Going with the alternate universe theme this is how it might be for booker and elizabeth in another universe. Similar outcomes but in a different setting.
lol booker voice is corvo
and Garrett
Dude yessss
And belethor, and nick valentine
It feels so weird seeing this compared to what we were left with. Like, I can see why people like Infinite, but it never felt like Bioshock to me. It didn't have that background feeling of unease that the first 2 had. The beta version of Infinite is far more of a Bioshock game than the final product was, even including Burial at Sea.
Y'know, it's undeniable that there are a lot of interesting ideas here. Though I do have to wonder how much of this is actual gameplay and how much is pre-rendered footage, especially with everyone in the comments asking for them to release these betas. Either way I still agree that these ideas and concepts should have been in the final build.
Nice. Where do find these videos? Thank you for sharing.
9:10 good thing the comedy routine got cut out
nice video,its really interesting to watch this early content
If i could i'd play all the bioshock trailers they're all amazing.
I remember seeing this near when bioshock infinite came out and I honestly thought this looked cooler than what we ended up with. Shame we will never see this for what it could have been if pushed further
Damn I cant believe we were originally supposed to be Mercer Frey the whole time!!
The things I would do to play THIS version of the game.... 😍
The original builds were oddly more chaotic in the fighting approach
Many people are down about what Bioshock Infinite could have been, I say it’s like writing a story or an essay. Lots of drafts and ideas are cut out to refine the story. And that refinement became the Bioshock that we got.
This was the game that made me learn not to trust in pre release gameplay anymore.
bioshock infinite's final product was the greatest tragedy since the burning of the library of alexandria
This is the bioshock that I wanted to play. Not that final crap that they released.
@@East_sidex1 compared to the beta versions, it is. It's still a good game, I played and got all achievements. Can't just compare to the beta, the final release is: crap
I love how Bioshock ended up being it's a magnificient game, but still I'm sad I didn't get to play this
I think this video was released on Xbox live back in the day (alongside Inside Xbox videos etc). Definitely have seen it before.
I'd pay for these versions without a doubt they looked amazing
I love the dark aesthetic to these
So much interesting content that was more than what we got. Even a different voice actor that isnt Troy Baker!
Will we ever see the removed stuff from this in another bioshock game? I hope so
Well the next bioshock game supposedly takes place in London so they might use the early victorian era style of infinite
@@eyetipe8362 there is not going to be another bioshock game dont play with people's hopes like that. irrational games doesnt exist anymore so u cant even make a Bioshock 4
@@thedoomslayer5863 it just got confirmed
One of my favorite games.
Some of this is the demo they put out. It was the "trailer" we never got in actual gameplay.
This looks amazing. What we got was a hollow shell in comparison.
Most of these videos are pre-rendered ...
And yes, the atmosphere of the prototypes was very similar to the previous parts. It's a pity that all of this was abandoned.
I just finished Infinite today and I as much as I still loved the whole game from beginning to the end it would've been a whole lot better if we got this
I wish we got a developer cut of all these older versions
It’s sad how ever prevent iteration of the game looks way more fun than the actual release. Not to say that it was bad, but it saddens me to see how much better it could’ve been
the one we got was very interesting but this beta version i think would be an amazing other reality game
I need it :) More BioShock
This is art
All these years I still remember when I played the original demo in stores, lots of changes fersure but still fun
None of the demo's were ever playable. And we know that because they were tech demo's. The devs openly admitted that nothing they showed was actual playable material.
@@tiernanstevens117 that's weird cuz I specifically remember seeing stuff from the video in the stores too and like stoked for the game, was probably a video demo I was all into then while playing other demos
@@Nina-lf3st Video demo for sure. Trust me. I was on every day from 2010 to 2013 on this game. I was a kid who just discovered the internet back then.
ive always wondered what caused them to give us the one they did. the infinite we got was good but i always felt it was trying to hard to be super mind bending.
shock, shock and shock.
I would like to know more about the earliest version of Bioshock Infinite where Elizabeth is mute.
Not much is know but i would like to know too
fuck that her voice is utter beauty it would literally be criminal to take it from her
@@thedoomslayer5863
Totally agree 💯
I just wonder how much money they blew on all of those scrapped builds. Cause that's fully scripted and voiced sequences unlike the most prototypes we see.
Can’t wait for this beta to someday leak
