Geezer Gamers' Jamey finished playing BioShock, and he has a few bad things to say about the game. It is too short. It lacks choices, (which narrow down to "harvest or save?") It's too easy. Its hacking is tiresome...
On the other hand, here is what Jamey likes about the game: Absolutely everything else. The sound, the graphics, the gameplay, the story. He gives the game a 9.5 out of 10, an imperfect score that reflects his frustration at an "awesome game" that is so close to yet still falling short of being perfect.
(Review score: 9.5 out of 10)
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
1) Its to short - It took me about 20 or so hours to beat the game on the hardest setting, if thats to short for a FPS I would hate to think how short 95% of other FPS are in this guys opinion.
2) Lack of choice - "would you kindly" play all the way through the game and pay attention to the storyline, then you won't be saying that again.
3) Too easy - well with the vita chambers I might agree, but try getting through the game without using the vita chambers, especially against the big daddies and then come back and say its to easy
4) Hacking game - you don't have to hack anything if you don't want to. It is your choice, you can pay more, kill all bots and cameras, or autohack.
5) Mature factor - Its rated M?
And people flamed me because I pointed out the points he mentioned long ago. Bioshock desrve 8 not 10.
I'm about halfway now having killed ????? and while i have enjoyed the atmosphere this game clearly provides, the more than reasonable combat, i just want to stop playing now.
I'm a real big 360 fan and Halo3 was what i bought my machine for tbh but given Bio's run of 10's, i was expecting something rather special.
Bio is an 8/10 at best for me and one very big letdown.The last one was Lost planet.
