What Is Ludonarrative Dissonance, And Does It Matter?

GameRVW takes a look at the discerning game critics most overused term, ludonarrative dissonance, to find out if it's as important as everyone says it is.

TheOptimist2857d ago

It does matter, breaks the immersion otherwise.

lellkay2856d ago

Totally depends on the game and how it carries itself.

yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.

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-inferno289d 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.

ActualWhiteMan289d ago

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

Rebel_Scum289d 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......

-Foxtrot289d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77289d 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_Bomb289d 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-PANGPANG288d 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.
