Big Daddy Figurine Issue

2K Games has identified a small percentage of Big Daddy figurines that have been damaged in transit to US and Canadian retailers. 2K Games is in the process of setting up a replacement program to ensure customers who are affected by the damaged figurines are issued replacement figurines as quickly as possible.

Since redemption will not be immediate as replacement figurines are currently beginning production, 2K Games will be also sending affected customers a complimentary special printed edition of the BioShock art book, "Breaking the Mold," to enjoy while the replacement figurines are produced and shipped. Additionally, 2K Games will cover all shipping costs for the figurines and art book.

Never offer an incentive like that to fans of a game...Why? Because they are sure to 'break' it on purpose to get their hands on that book...I say this as one person on 2K forums had said some people were breaking it on purpose.

thats what i was thinking. But i just opened mine up. well took it out of the box. the figure is still wraped secure. and there is a small piece on the bottom. rolling around. I dont wanna open it, so they know i didnt do it, but i cant figure out what it is.

edit. oh its the edge of the drill. against the plastic holder.

My Big Daddy figurine came with his spiral arm broken, i just glued it back on.

Eclipticus6767d ago

yeah but you shouldnt have to glue it back on, the minute it comes out of the packaging.

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.

Furesis211d 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-inferno211d 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.

ActualWhiteMan211d ago

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

Rebel_Scum211d ago

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

Michiel1989211d ago

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

-Foxtrot211d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77211d 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_Bomb211d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya211d ago (Edited 210d 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-PANGPANG210d 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.

anast581d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai584d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken582d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop584d 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_drake584d 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

TheNamelessOne584d 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.

badkolo583d ago

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

Knightofelemia584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

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