Clockwork Revolution, the first-person RPG title recently announced by inXile Entertainment, isn’t the first game to feature a steampunk aesthetic, with some drawing comparisons to the BioShock series. But it seems as though the similarities don’t end there, with a former trailer producer for BioShock Infinite pointing out some resemblances between Clockwork Revolution and BioShock Infinite’s trailers.

A Twitter user by the name of Butmac, who claims to have worked on the BioShock Infinite trailers, provided a side-by-side comparison of some screenshots from both of the games’ trailers in an image thread. Here’s a gallery containing all the comparisons:

It’s worth mentioning that only “about half” of the screenshots used from BioShock Infinite were from the trailers that Butmac worked on, with the remaining images coming from the game itself that “reminded” them of shots from the Clockwork Revolution trailer.

 

As for whether or not the similarities were intentional, Microsoft has released a statement to IGN revealing that this was not the case. “Any similarities are unintentional. Players will be able to fully customize their own main character in the game,” the Microsoft spokesperson stated.
