Last month, a few members of the press were invited to join Irrational Games in New York for the unveiling of BioShock Infinite. During that closed-doors event, we unveiled a short trailer as well as nearly ten minutes of gameplay footage, but only the trailer was released online.
We are pleased to announce that on Saturday, during our joint panel with Game Informer at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, we will be screening that gameplay demonstration to the public for the first time. The session, “From Concept to Cover: The Game Informer Selection Process,” will feature team members from Game Informer and Irrational discussing how video game magazine covers are chosen, with examples drawn from the upcoming October issue of the magazine.
We’re looking forward to releasing the footage later this month for everyone to enjoy–and we’ll keep you updated on when and where that will happen once those details are locked down–but PAX attendees who show up for the Game Informer panel will have the first opportunity to see the world of Columbia explored in real-time.
When: Saturday, 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
Where: Unicorn Theatre
Who: Andy McNamara [Editor In Chief, Game Informer], Andy Reiner [Executive Editor, Game Informer], Leonie Manshanden [Director of Marketing, Irrational], Shawn Robertson [Lead Artist, Irrational]

CURSES! I won’t be able to see that until it breaks on youtube.
movielord101 | September 1, 2010 2:25 pm
Will the gameplay footage be online after the event, by any chance?
Rye0077r | September 1, 2010 2:32 pm
Nice!
September 1, 2010 2:46 pm
[...] The gameplay demo will not appear online until a later date, but we will be posting our BioShock cover art on our site the day of the panel. For all the details regarding the event, here's the official statement from Irrational Games: [...]

So Bioshock Infinite is the cover for the October issue? If so Im so excited lol.
codex | September 1, 2010 4:51 pm
Mmm… Now I have to go to that panel…
jayakers | September 1, 2010 4:52 pm
There is a snowball’s chance in hell I’ll be able to attend (I’m in Oregon)…but it may happen…and if it does. I’ll go nuts
codex | September 1, 2010 8:00 pm
There aren’t any tickets left. It sold out a few days ago.
dannysal | September 1, 2010 5:28 pm
So exciting! I wish I could be there. At least we know the gameplay demo is coming our way soon!
AlphaTwo | September 1, 2010 8:34 pm
Excellent, I look forward to seeing it in person.
mastigias | September 1, 2010 9:28 pm
Unfortunately I’m living in another country… But I wanna go there, meet the team, make conversation, and see the gameplay
But I can’t… Have a nice day on saturday!
sunjammer | September 1, 2010 10:12 pm
Sigh. Yet another time where it becomes painfully apparent that the games industry hasn’t sussed out it’s a global thing.
Tying this footage to a US event is wack guys. Just show it to your world wide fan base already.

cant wait till this starts getting out there, going to try and keep myself as far away as possible to keep myself really surprised once its out
muskellounger | September 2, 2010 9:35 am
All though I’m happy, hearing this news is painful. We can’t stand it…us…who can’t attend these events.
I hope turns out well, jaws drop, and it’s leaked on youtube. Why no live stream?

I really wished I could go to PAX now.

Why couldn’t I be there? Those lucky individuals. Yeah, hopefully we’ll get lucky and see it somehow.
mastigias | September 2, 2010 1:21 pm
The game is coming in 2012, but we can see the gameplay now. It’s so bizarre, doesn’t it?
NomarDll769 | September 4, 2010 12:00 am
It’s just a taste I’m sure. I’d expect a lot of changes between now, and the release date.
jub8jub | September 2, 2010 1:28 pm
I can’t go but if any one else goes tell us how it went.
borrego | September 2, 2010 7:53 pm
Andy McNamara and Andrew Reiner are two editors that I respect the most. I’ve read their stuff monthly for over a decade, and they are very deserving of the first look at the demo. Great choice, Irrational!
perfectdarkling | September 2, 2010 8:19 pm
Oh holy crap, I can’t wait to see the demo! The trailer was killer – the demo is only going to make the wait till 2012 even more unbearable!

I’m happy that I’m subscribed to GameInformer so I can get the cool covers.

Sorry for double post… The covers are great!!!

Here’s the BioShock Infinite Game Informer cover(s)…
Next month’s Game Informer cover is not revealing a new game – unlike last month’s Batman: Arkham City cover – but it’s still got plenty to offer. Behold! Three separate BioShock Infinite covers, crafted by Irrational artist Rob Waters, that ape the…

Just saw the GI covers. I freaking love you guys.
borrego | September 5, 2010 8:33 pm
Those GI covers are bad ass. I think I’m going to pick up an extra copy just as a collectors item. GI done in the style of BioShock. Glorious.
venom11 | September 6, 2010 12:26 pm
we’re still waiting for gameplay video and it’s already monday!
nintendoll | September 6, 2010 2:36 pm
I wish I had been able to go this year
This is the first time in three years I haven’t been able to make it. I’ll be at East though.
Last PAX East I beat all the boys at Bioshock 2 multiplayer <3
