2K Games violating its own EULA with Bioshock?

2K Games' Bioshock may be Game of the Year material, and it could possibly even be among the highest rated games ever, but this horror FPS title isn't without its share of trouble. In fact, complaints are piling up about issues in the PC version - from widescreen woes, to extremely prohibitive copy protection schemes. Some meticulous gamer calls out that 2K is in a worse pinch, stating that 2K Games conflicts against the game's own End User License Agreement (EULA).

gogators6842d ago

you already got the one the snap shot achievements.

ploody6842d ago

Pc's are more hassle for what they're worth when it comes to games.

TrevorPhillips6842d ago

bioshock owns its one of the best fps horror game ever with its sensational graphics,gameplay and storyline remember this game has 4 story line endings so that means u can finish it 4 different wayz how awesome

TrevorPhillips6842d ago

bioshock wont look good on ps3 it will be crap common guyz u all know that u saw the comparison on the xbox360 and pc. 360 was better and pc was using directx10 and it didnt look good who agrees with me

sanderFVCKINcohen6842d ago (Edited 6842d ago )

The 360 also uses directx10, it looks better on a PC only if you have like a 1000dollars PC. But, other than that, 360 demolishes the average PCs out there.

FOLIAGE: ooppss, sorry about that bruh. Read some article a while back and thought we had DX10. So does that mean they cant update our videos drivers similiar to PCs???

Foliage6842d ago

The xbox 360 doesn't use DX10 in fact it can't, get your facts straight. They were trying to release a patch upgrading to DX10, but ATI has stated that the xbox 360 cannot be upgraded in this way.

That isn't an opinion, it is fact.

Do a quick google search and see for yourself.

I dont have a super computer, infact the most expensive thing is the video card. Altogether it only cost around $550-$650 to build which includes Windows Vista lol.
I have Bioshock Settings all on high and it looks awesome ,runs smooth, loading of new levels takes less then a minute and no Freeze-ups or issues, ohh ya plus it was $10 cheaper then the 360 version.
My system specs: Pentium4 3.4GHZ, ASROCK mainboard , 1GB DDR400, Windows Vista32, Wireless 360 Controller & USB Dongal, Nvidia 7600GS 512MB Video card. Ohh & all multiplayer games ARE FREE :)

Foliage6841d ago

PC prices have come down quite a bit. I'm not surprised by your setup.

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.

Furesis288d 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-inferno288d 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.

ActualWhiteMan288d ago

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

Rebel_Scum288d ago

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

Michiel1989288d ago

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

-Foxtrot288d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77288d 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_Bomb288d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya288d ago (Edited 288d 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-PANGPANG287d 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.

anast658d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai661d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken659d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop661d 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_drake661d 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

TheNamelessOne661d 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.

badkolo660d ago

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

Knightofelemia661d ago (Edited 661d ago )

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