One of the benefits of being an insider is that you get to know stuff. You’re privvy to how things work, and are in on the whole process – which lets you be smug around the plebs who know nothing.<\/p>\n
So spare a thought for the BioShock Infinite development team who are just as pleb as the rest of us – thanks to creator, Ken Levine<\/a>, who made sure they know squadoosh about how the game ends.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with PSM3 magazine, Mr Levine reveals that he wanted to keep the ending from the team and observe their reactions to it.<\/p>\n “So I can see their reactions. Keeping people virgins to that content is really important because you never get that reaction from someone a second time.<\/p>\n “I think (it’s) a frustration on the team here. I don’t want them to know the game story, and they want a document from me that tells them the whole game story.<\/p>\n “I’m not going to do that. That’s not the way we present stuff to the gamer. We don’t ship a document. The story is only relevant in terms of how you present it, not the details of what it is.”<\/p>\n This is the equivalent of a magician not telling his assistant how the trick works, and her being totally surprised in the end when she has to go home in two pieces.<\/p>\n Or something like that.<\/p>\n Ken Levine wanted to keep them “virgins”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":167,"featured_media":29479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,4],"tags":[31,283,281],"class_list":["post-32145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-bioshock-infinite","tag-ken-levine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32145"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32146,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32145\/revisions\/32146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Source: PSM3 (via CVG<\/a>)<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
