The feature revelation was spotted among a torrent of updates from the PlayStation Destination event, which took place in Arizona. In addition, the retailer made mention of Move support, although it’s been confirmed before that motion control will be implemented in BioShock Infinite.

“Live from #Playstation Destination,” tweeted the retailer. “Bioshock Infinite will be Move & 3D compatible!!”

BioShock Infinite is planned for release sometime this year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The feature is dubbed ‘1999 Mode’ and Irrational says that players will accordingly face “permanent consequences of their gameplay decisions”.

“I’m an old school gamer. We wanted to make sure we were taking into account the play styles of gamers like me,” said Irrational’s creative director Ken Levine. “So we went straight to the horse’s mouth by asking them, on our website, a series of questions about how they play our games.”

Levine continued, “94.6 percent of respondents indicated that upgrade choices enhanced their BioShock gameplay experience; however, 56.8 percent indicated that being required to make permanent decisions about their character would have made the game even better.”

The new unveiled mode will include a whole bunch of other tweaks and features absent from different playthroughs – regardless of difficulty setting. Dedication for “demanding weapon, power and health management” is a must; and expect the classic ‘Game Over’ screen to pop up if player loses all credit for another respawn. Ouch!

The demo will be available to PSN users next week, along with the non-paying Xbox Live members.
