Irrational Games Announces 1999 Mode in BioShock Infinite

2K Games announced today that BioShock Infinite from Irrational Games will feature a new form of play- the 1999 Mode, designed to challenge players in a variety of ways each requiring substantial commitment and skill development. 1999 Mode is a way of playing designed for gamers who long for the days of games that demanded more of the player. It will include tweaks and features that BioShock fans will not experience in a standard play-through of BioShock Infinite, no matter the difficulty level.
 

We want to give our oldest and most committed fans an option to go back to our roots, said Ken Levine, Creative Director of Irrational Games. In 1999 Mode, gamers face more of the permanent consequences of their gameplay decisions. In BioShock Infinite, gamers will have to sweat out the results of their actions. In addition, 1999 Mode will demand that players pick specializations, and focus on them.
