review 1: Fantastic artbook that features both final and developmental work on Bioshock Infinte. You can really get a feel for the changes in direction and the kind of work that is put behind settings and characters.The book features developmental art for characters, enemies, settings and weapons.My only issue is that I would have loved it if they featured more of the propaganda art that was in the game, and maybe some more character art (other than that of Elizabeth and Booker).
review 2: I've been anxiously awaiting Bioshock Infinite since I like, even heard about the project. I've played Bioshock and Bioshock 2, and I loved them. I bought the action figures, and I have a splicer mask and the creepy as hell soundtracks. These games definitely deserve to be called art e... moreven by the most fogey and snotty of critics. I mean, it looks damn beautiful, there's a story that I would read as a novel, and it's playable! What more do they want? But you know, some people see something digital and think robots did all the work. Honestly, I think I can show this book to someone and say, "See? It was someone's idea! A human being had to think it up and then make it! Sure, they used digital tools, but it's not like I make my own paint and pencils."OMG I want to play Bioshock Infinite right now. I was worried about this book spoiling the game, but it doesn't cover the narrative at all. Lots of character and environment design ideas are shared, but not plot details. I received an ARC from netgalley in pdf form, which I think is perfect for the digital paintings. A digital artist told me that what he felt he was doing was painting with light. The art was great but I wonder how well these will translate to print though; sometimes I've noticed that digital art gets too dark when they are on paper instead of on a lit screen. Which I can understand; the page isn't the natural medium for it. less
