BioShock Infinite Developers Kept in Dark Over Levine's Story
"I'm keeping it from them," Levine says.
Ken Levine is on yawntastic PR form this week, after telling magazine PSM3 that only he knows the entire story to BioShock Infinite. "Even the team don't know the ending," he says. Oh, we've never heard that one before!
Apparently the reason is that he can authentically gauge reaction from the studio employees and make changes and edits when necessary. "I want to preserve [it] and observe [the team], 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."
Levine adds that the studio tends not to like him going all David Attenborough on them, but remains stubborn to change. "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.
"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."
