Bioshock Infinite's Boys Of Silence: A Nightmarish Design
See Full ImageIrrational Games boss Ken Levine said he wanted more enemy designs in Bioshock Infinite, because he felt the past entries kept reusing too many of the same enemy types.
So his team is pulling out all the stops. You've probably already seen the freakish machine gun-toting George Washingtons, but you haven't yet laid eyes on the Boys of Silence.
It's the latest of the game's "heavy hitters" and in a new video, we get a glimpse of the threatening, wildly creepy foe. Levine says it's rare he looks at a new design and says, "we have to do that" but apparently, it happened for this particular opponent. We have to admit; the design is absolutely bonkers and one that's bound to inspire a few bad dreams. Check it out.
It's really just another example of this game's amazing creativity. Irrational is going to deliver quite the adventure, and we're fairly convinced it's gonna be not only entertaining, but memorable.

One thing that I don't understand this generation is why we still have about the same number of "types" of enemies as we did both last generation and the generation before. It should be tripled, or a system should build random enemy designs in some cases.

But I think if these Boys of Silence can actually start tooting their own horns once they've alerted on you & then go into a full siren mode while chasing you, then I'd surely be creeped out while trying to escape.
Make it so!!!!!!

im really starting to get worried there focusing far too much on other things and giving the writing a back role.
please dont forget what made the original bioshock so awesome!
will you kindly has become a phenomenon, so dont forget were expecting exactly the same from this!
please oh please dont turn into another ME3!
gameplay far improved over ME2 but story oh so much worse over ME2!

Maybe if you actually paid attention to some of these videos you might have learned that.
