In an interview with VideoGamer.com, Ben Judd said that gamers now only want to die "once or twice" in games.
When we asked the Capcom producer if he reckons games are too easy on gamers these days, Judd replied: "Yes, I do. I think that if you look at one of the highest praised games of last year, BioShock, BioShock was easy as Hell, I don't care what anybody says. That's what people want. They want to play through it. They want to die once or twice. It's like an interactive movie, sort of. Gamers have lost their will to continually drill down on something."
The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade
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.
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.
"Remaster them again if you have to"
Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled
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.
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.
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.

Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.
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.
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
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.
its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
He is speaking logic today. I give him that much. I agree, todays gamer could never pull off the feats us Nes kids did. Beating Ninja Gaiden alone is something few people have done without cheating or using an emulator to save location before dying.
Nintendo games were crucial and somewhere in the Ps1 days things started changing and by the time the ps2 hit, it was all over. Games did take on a more interactive, let me guide you, approach.
Soul Reaver was one of the 1st game I started to see this huge trend of super easy gameplay and puzzle solving.
Bionic Commando producer:stop whining,mgs 4,bioshock
braid for me is better than bc tbh
bioshock has a sweet difficulty feel
but he has a valid point,bioshock difficulty wasn't in solving puzzels,temples or just think where should I go now, it was only when you fight enemies,most games turning like this,which is sad
I say bioshock is so great,but when I just compare it with something like the shadow man,I truly feel that bioshock was a joke,seriosly am not joking
HE HAS A VALID POINT
I think shadowman has an incredible level design and difficulty
I wish I can see anything today like shadowman
shadowman=a true legend,a remake gonna be a mega earthquake
he's kinda right
It isn't a valid point cos he probably didn't put it on hard. He probably just left it on normal and cos of the Vita Chambers said it was easy as hell. On hard it was significantly more difficult. I'd love to see him turn Vita Chambers off and play it on hard and still say it's easy as hell. He'd probably die all the time. What would he know about anything? Bionic Commando is sheisse
Seriously he is.
