Bioshock in the sky!
Woohoo!

Always thought Icarus = something to do with sky from the tweet.
But never thought it is a Bioshock game.

*edit*

some more details

from the interview:

1. Ken Levine said that the buildings in the sky can actually collapse!!!
2.This game uses Unreal Engine 3(bioshock was Unreal Engine 2.5), but theres no shared codes, meaning all fresh and new
3.Bioshock Infinite wont feature photorealism as crysis or other next gen fps, but rather a "stylized visual"
4.The ppl whos working on this game consist a very limited ppl of only 80 staff (I like this, quality over quantity)
5.Combat will now involves more baddies, he mentioned 15 thugs at once
6. Bad guys dont suddenly attack you, theres actually some sequence before they start to gank you

An excerpt of the demo:

You play as Booker DeWitt, a disgraced Pinkerton agent, and you need to find a woman named Elizabeth in a city called Columbia.
Which brings you to the problem, you dont know where the hell is Columbia! (hint:its in the sky...lol)
Some weird things happens, some woman sweep her stoop while a house behind her burns, dead horse lying on the ground.(really wtf)
Got some sequence where "the boss" order his underlings to attack you.One of the thugs can control crows.
After you killed him, you get some bottle shaped like crow and drink it, and presumably get the power
Theres a sky track, connecting the buildings, and you use some hook device to travel.Theres also some action sequence while you travel.
You found Elizabeth, she actually turns out to be badass too, making a raincloud.You use the boosted electric power to clear the baddies.
Elizabeth makes a big metal ball, you use telekinesis to throw it over the thugs.
You actually see the badass guy in the trailer's face, with floating heart and big hands, and turns out he wasnt all that badass.
Cos a big effing bird lands and trashes a building behind him! (maybe someone was riding it?)

*NEW*

demo video, 100x better than wall of text







Saltonstall, the mini "boss" with the hook thingy (to travel along the sky track)

sky city in 1912? where's the technology to do that.

ya....good question indeed

really hope this time around they explain more about the brains behind the technology
I hope we can see a bioshock version of dr bishop (from Fringe tv series)

Big Daddy in the sky ? Bring it.

apparently theres no big daddy, from the interview, just a badass mechanical robo guy with a see-through chest(hopefully robo nazi, cos wolfenstein lacked one )

If you meant wolfenstein 3D then I beg to differ, as they have mecha Hitler as end boss.

Judging by the hand that grab the woman with plasmatic power (only an assumption, may not be related), it will be equally or bigger than Big D.

woah... !

If there's no big daddy, i guess there won't be having any lil sis..

Wow, that trailer was very much like the original Bioshock trailer. I like!

And hot air balloons to lift the cities up? Ingenious!

Now, we just need more info on the game.

so, uhm they discovered a rare species of bird that dramatically increase tissue regeneration?

My guess is: The ozone layer

Crazy stuff..really.
The Ocean was cool but..wow..Sky?? Crazy. Can't wait. XD

Bioshock? More like Sky-yo-shock!

I enjoyed playing Bioshock 1, short as it was, more than the hyped Half Life 2. Can't wait for Infinity.

keep looking on the sky...you might see a flying house...lol

From the skies above, to the oceans beneath....

No wonder it's a prequel...

2012 release. Dont think we'll be able to play it.

Looks superb! Can't wait for the release

OMG it's so steampunkish!

awesome...death from above..

the trailer look promising...
