The BioShock PC demo is now available for download on FileShack(Shacknews). Here is your thread to anticipate things and things. Firstly, it's been made very clear that you are going to need the latest NVidia or ATI drivers for your videocard.
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
sadly for me, my PC requirements does not come close to what this game is offering. I dont have a 360 so i guess am gonna miss out then ?
I plan on buying a PS3 in a few months, any chance ?
already tried it
heres my old comment:
installed nvidia beta drivers 163.44 with "improved compatibility" for Bioshock. time to restart.
played at easy one time, runs 20-60 fps all max settings with dynamic lighting at 1680x1050(I am sure its my cr@p cpu thats hindering it), tried to enable AA with nHancer but didnt work. Textures are marginally more hi res than 360 version. Effects are better but most people wont notice it. I guess the main advantage is being able run at 1980x1200 at which AA doesn't matter much. Anyways great game for 360 and PC owners(if you have an able system)
edit: shoot I ran my demo with global lighting which is cr*p, time to download to try again
I already beat the demo, and guess what people? It was pretty cool! I enjoyed it; I can't wait until tomorrow for the actual release. yay
damm they late
I bet at the GC there's an official announcement that Bioshock will remain exclusive for 360 and PC.
