A detailed look at the design evolution of System Shock 1 and 2, Bioshock 1 and 2, and Bioshock: Infinite. It focuses primarily on how the games have grown in terms of level design, sound design, and delivery of narrative. It's a long video, but tracing the gradual progression of so many games with the same gameplay format, each building on the lessons of the last, provides a portrait of how much the gaming industry at large has grown up in between 1994 and 2013. THIS VIDEO HAS MANY, MANY SPOILERS FOR ALL OF THE SHOCK GAMES, INCLUDING ENDGAME FOOTAGE!
