5 Things You Should Know About BioShock

Last week, Game Informer got to play through a three-hour BioShock demo. During that time, they saw some amazing and surprising things. Rather than just give you a minute-by-minute account of the entire experience-with agonizing descriptions of every door opened, enemy killed and line of overheard dialogue-here are five things you should know about the game.

Personally, I think Bioshock is the best looking next-gen game (Yes, I like its visuals more than Crysis or GOW). I hope they stay true to their promises.

ShiftyLookingCow6905d ago (Edited 6905d ago )

I disagree. Crysis is a lot better especially since the environment is much bigger. But Bioshock does have an unique art style to it. It does look better than GeOW.

Edit:
@Captain Tuttle, yeah there are lots of spoilers. I am actually glad I read it. I wasn't exactly sure but I am certainly getting this game now, probably on PC than 360, since it has DX10.

SuperSaiyan46905d ago

It looks pretty darn good but no way is it better looking that Crysis dude seriously.

VirusE6905d ago

Bioshock does look awesome but crysis is breath taking. The video where they show the depth of field when aiming is amazing.

Captain Tuttle6905d ago

There are a few tidbits in there that can be almost considered spoilers...speculation on the plot etc.

MK_Red6905d ago

I know guys. Technically Crysis is a miralce. I dont have anything against it and as I said its just my personal feeling about Bioshock. Maybe its game's art and visual style but anyway I cut it, I enjoy looking at Bioshock more than anything I've seen recently. The textures, atmosphere and the whole world feels alive (And creepy). Cant wait. This game has it all: great visuals, superb story, innovative and hopefully deep gameplay and some serious moral issues!

The True Gamer6905d ago

If Crysis is better graphically than Bio Shock. It all about gameplay and Bio Shock will be the best single player experience so far on the next gen consoles. I can not wait, I been dying for a good original I.P. that shows what next Gen is all about. Know all other console games have to step up after August. Yes, I know Crysis will be amazing, but that is a PC game. For a thousand and some dollars to play it, it better be. But for console games, best graphics so far for Bio Shock.

VirusE6905d ago

I agree that game play is paramount but its hard to argue that bioshock has better graphics. Sure that doesn’t mean that crysis will be a better game (i don’t think it will be) but there is nothing wrong with pointing out which one has more beauty in my opinion.

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.

Furesis291d ago

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-inferno291d 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.

ActualWhiteMan291d ago

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

Rebel_Scum291d ago

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

Michiel1989291d ago

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

-Foxtrot291d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77291d 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_Bomb291d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya291d ago (Edited 291d 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-PANGPANG291d 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.

anast661d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai664d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken662d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop664d 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_drake664d 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

TheNamelessOne664d 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.

badkolo663d ago

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

Knightofelemia664d ago (Edited 664d ago )

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