2K Games drops activation, install limits for BioShock PC

It doesn't matter anyways. Bioshock and Mass Effect are throw away games without any mods or multiplayer.

MK_Red6541d ago

1. Great news.
2. Hopefully EA and Atari learn from 2K and remove this disgusting feature from PC Mass Effect and Alone in the Dark. Seriously, pirates easily break this and the only people that this activiation thing hurts are the real buyers of legit copies.

mepsipax6540d ago

IMO I think that Take 2 was basically laughing at EA over the recent Mass Effect PC thing and just said you know what? lets remove SecuRom. I don't really care about Atari they're dead anyways, but it would be nice if EA didn't have stupid ass install limits with Mass Effect, eh hell all it does it screw over people who legitimately bought the game making me want to become a pirate because they've already cracked Mass Effect and don't have to worry about install limits or activation anymore.

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno288d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan288d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum288d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989288d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot288d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77288d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb288d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG287d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast658d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai661d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken659d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop661d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake661d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne661d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo660d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia661d ago (Edited 661d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
