"We couldn't help but think about the chilling reveal trailer for the original BioShock, which is still one of the best trailers ever, and so we put together this little comparison video in honor of the big reveal (and because the only thing better than one amazing BioShock trailer is two amazing BioShock trailers)."
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.

The SKY SHIP STEAM PUNK ART STYLE is totally different than the UNDER THE SEA STYLE. But both of them great. Steam Punk is one of my favorite art genres and I am always excited to sea things related to that amazing take on fantasy/sci-fi. Although Bioshock is "scary", it is at the same time very beautiful. Bioshock Infinite looks to have a great beauty to it, but the underlying horror isn't really revealed yet. It looks different and unique. The BIG DADDY'S in the sky, from what I can see look pretty cool as well. I hope this series grows as the STEAMPUNK FANTASY FRANCHISE...not milked, but taken time to create new worlds with each game, under the Bioshock name. Even though Bioshock 2 wasn't as renowned as the first one, it's a great game, this series is awesome, and the universe is welcomed to expand. I like when new characters and stories are created under series names, as opposed to just repeating the same thing over and over....like Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, Fallout, etc.
Pacing of the trailer is kinda similar, I get it.
