Wonder no more! Those motion sickness inspiring moments are fully playable and seemingly a key component of BioShock Infinite’s gameplay. “Imagine being on a roller coaster, over another roller coaster, over another roller coaster,” Levine tells the official PlayStation blog. “Imagine being able to jump freely from one roller coaster to the next.
