Halo 3 Vs. BioShock

Has Master Chief been pwned at his own game?

GamesRadar debates:
"We're in for one of the hottest winters on record, and not just because of global warming. The sheer quantity and quality of games coming out before January completely boggles the mind"

Well, so far BioShock has been the winner of E3s (06 and 07) and its reviews have placed it near Zelda OoT and higher than both Halo 1 & 2. Halo 3's advantage is in multiplayer.

MastaGT6846d ago

It has surpassed Zelda, Bioshock is by far the champ, and down right funner and better than zelda will ever be. Halo 3 vs Bioshock...hmm that's just stupid, I smell fanboy stirring up. Both games are to the same platform, that's just reallly retarded to go head to head, no matter what, I will have both games in the end, and I will live on to be a happy gamer, sony fanboys can go suc*k it!

DruePhoenix6846d ago

without Multiplayer, Bioshock is beautiful, but unlike say... Half-Life 1, just isnt... revolutionary enough to be one of the best through single player alone

it's great, yes, but Halo's scale, story, and multiplayer aspects should end up giving it more points in the end

Zhuk6846d ago

I think its wrong to compare the two, they are quite different in many respects. I do know as much as I will play Bioshock, i'll end up putting more hours into Halo 3

MK_Red6846d ago

That's mostly because of Halo 3's multiplayer and for non-multiplaying gamers like me, BioShock takes the most hours.

toughNAME6846d ago

on longevity alone Halo takes it

Bioshock will be the better reviewed game of course

but ... from what iv played in Bioshock (just killed Ryan) i do not think it will beat the king

Bioshock > Gears?
i like that comparison better

MK_Red6846d ago

I hope someone posts a BioShock Vs System Shock 2 comparison, that would be way hotter and accurate.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_201d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto200d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay200d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730200d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman195d ago (Edited 195d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty201d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602201d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty200d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981200d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts200d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno200d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE200d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai200d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex200d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover200d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator200d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia200d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

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.

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.
