Supposed BioShock 4 screenshot confirms that yes, it is a video game

BioShock Infinite

Indebted to the wrong people, with his life on the line, veteran of the U.S. Cavalry and now hired gun, Booker DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia.

You're not gonna believe this. An apparent screenshot from the Bioshock game that's currently in the works has leaked online, and, assuming it's genuine, it tells us one thing we've all been hoping to learn about the title. That it's a video game.

Yep, take a look at the image, which MP1ST claims has been unearthed from the showreel of a visual effects artist working for publisher 2K, and you can see clear as day, Bioshock 4, reportedly codenamed 'Parkside', is probably in line to be one of those doodads we all like to play with a controller, or mouse and keyboard, or a dance pad.

In it, the player's holding a gun, dubbed the "Ricochet Shotgun", and is looking straight at some kind of glowing orb mounted on a stand.
