Irrational Games is continuing to tickle us with little knowledge drops -- this time via an editorial titled "Five Cut Features," which deals with, largely, features that were cut from Irrational's dystopian FPS BioShock.
Which one grabs us the most? The navigation robot. As explained in the article by technical director Chris Kline, “We wanted a map, but were concerned that this would take too much programming and design/art time to implement. So I came up with the idea of Nav-Bot: You could press a controller button to summon your Nav-Bot, activate him with another controller button, and then select from a list of destinations in a 2D user interface. You could then follow him to the designated location."
Of course, the core reason why we've singled out the Nav-bot is simple: it may have had the same problems ED-209 discovered while chasing after Robocop inside OCP HQ -- dude-bot might not have been able to handle stairs. No word if Irrational planned to have it squeal like a pig though. (That's always a nice touch.)

Is this Decent now?
I'll get Bioshock 2 whenever, I really should care more than I do. Unfortunately, my 1 game a month bit has been spoken for by Heavy Rain. And Deadly Premonition.
Best crap robot ever.
Could growl and pig squeal.
THAT. IS. AWESOME.
That was an awesome read. I found the atmospheric pressure idea particularly interesting. Having such a feature would add a cool twist to your interaction with the environment and strategy while being a logical edge that a Bid Daddy would have via the dive suit. I would have loved to see it in the final product, but I can understand how it would be a nightmare to implement. I do hope that they have introduced a few things to up the ante from the original that (from what I could tell) no one really asked for a sequel to.
Also: Great find! +1 vidja gaim reportin'
that would have been freaky as hell

That being said, BioShock Infinite looks really cool. I'm still of the mind that this is just a spiritual successor as it seems to depart story wise very far from the cannon of BioShock, but regardless, I'm excited. I'm still hoping for a proper BioShock 3 to wrap up the story of Rapture, but BioShock Infinite will likely be a great game too.
