BioShock: I think I've been here before

Destructoid.com writes: "So, like many, I played the unbelievable BioShock demo last night, and was floored. I've never been much of an FPS fan; I've always said it would take a lot to get me really into the genre. But few could argue with me that BioShock definitely brings it to the table, with one of the most vividly realized and physically interactive worlds I've ever seen in a game."

is it true there is no mulitplayer in this game?

cuco336847d ago

i don't think this game needs it. as much as i think multiplayer is an almost must in all games nowadays, i feel it should ONLY be implemented in cases where it feels like it needs one. i think darkness comes to mind on how MP should have not been made and more focus on the good single player campaign. assassin's creed will also have no MP

nobizlikesnowbiz6847d ago

Think so.

What I heard at least.

Thats complete BS this game should at least have some kind of multiplayer.

Wile6847d ago

Nah, I played the demo lastnight and I don't think the gameplay would translate well to multiplayer.

InMyOpinion6847d ago

Agree with Wile. Look up Stranglehold instead. It will probably have amazing multiplayer.

JPomper6847d ago

I gotta say, after watching the video at the end of the demo showing off all the cool things you could do, multiplayer would have been awesome. Imagine the possibilities between setting up traps, using plasmids or even choosing between player types. Hellooooo trumbling around as a Big Daddy? Or jumping around walls as a splicer?

Tons of potential.

FreedomReign6847d ago (Edited 6847d ago )

With the budget, and time constraints though. No.
Plus Bioshock 2 has already been confirmed to have Multiplayer.
Guess that kind of proves your point though.

Maybe the PS3 version will have Multiplayer. Like VF5 on 360. The PC version could always be patched and modded to have multiplayer as well.

Bioshock makes the real world look like a 16bit game :)

r10006847d ago

Why does EVERY GAME have to have a multi-player element? Seriously this game looks like it can hold it's own as a single player game, the story look very interesting, isn't that enough for you people...

BoneMagnus6847d ago

I've missed good SP games. Lately, most games I have bought have been for LIVE play. I haven't even started the tutitorial in GRAW 2, but have got my money's worth in LIVE play - same with Vegas - I've only beat the campaign in co-op - not SP.

The Bioshock demo was amazing, and the actual game is going to blow us away. The pacing is just my style - slow, strategic and intentional - not run-and-gun.

The demo seemed to fly by because I was so immersed - it is a unique world unlike anything I've seen before in a videogame - it was a world I wanted to stay in and learn more about.

tplarkin76847d ago

It is what we are taught in college. According to the latest design professors, architecture is godless and is supposed to elevate humanity. These professors (and some famous architects) practically raise themselves to the status of God. This is backwards thinking. Apparently, the makers of Bioshock agree with me.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

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.

Furesis284d 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-inferno284d 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.

ActualWhiteMan284d ago

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

Rebel_Scum284d ago

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

Michiel1989284d ago

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

-Foxtrot284d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77284d 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_Bomb284d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya284d ago (Edited 284d 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-PANGPANG283d 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.

anast654d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai657d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken655d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop657d 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_drake657d 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

TheNamelessOne657d 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.

badkolo656d ago

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

Knightofelemia657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

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