Bioshock Creator Wants Motion Control Gaming Separated

It wasn’t long ago that Ken Levine, the creative mind behind Bioshock, took the stage during Sony’s E3 conference and discussed his hesitations on the current generation’s obsession with motion gaming. Levine explained that games from Irrational didn’t involve swinging, waving, and waggling around in front of your TV and friends, at least until they got their hands on the Move and discovered that it didn’t need to replace the fundamentals.

I hope that we can play the entire Bioshock Infinite campaign with either the Move or the Dualshock and not just some extra Move mini games tacked on like in The Sly Collection.

I think the best Move compatible games are the ones that give you the option to use a Dualshock or the Move. I'll play Killzone 3 with Move over Dualshock anyday.

Army_of_Darkness5435d ago

After using the move for kz3, i never once touched the dual shock controller when playing that game. I think all developers should incorporate move for all fps/ 3rd person shooter games:-]

BabyCarlos5435d ago

Agreed. Seems like anybody who tested Kz3 w/ Move says so.

Close_Second5435d ago

I prefered SIXAXIS control but Move was a good alternative. I just wish they would make more games that are built just for Move.

smashman985435d ago

i actually enjoyed the dualshock more i like the feed back the anolog stick gives you over the move

Close_Second5435d ago

The stick on the navigator is just too darn loose.

Bigpappy5435d ago (Edited 5435d ago )

makes you wonder how the Move gameplay in his game turned out.

a_bro5435d ago

well, were going to find out soon, right?

Bigpappy5434d ago (Edited 5434d ago )

Affirmative. you shall soon be able to see if he gave the Move his full commitment. I think the move is a great idea for some genre (Some shooter, Melee weapons and RTS games) could be good experiences if implemented correctly. But I still think Sony needs a 3D camera with it if they want to compete for the casual market. Casuals are not going to give it a fair chance because they see the likeness to the wii and would not want to spend the extra cash when the casual games for the Move don't justify the extra cash.

By the way, why the heck is Sony's casual plan? I can believe they are going to just let M$ have a big chunk of that market without a battle.

I think Sony has a good opportunity to create some story driven games that alloy the casuals to interact with mostly Move gestures and as little use of BUTTONS as possible. This is where I was hoping to see Sorcery go, but that is taking too long to develop. M$ is getting farther and farther ahead in the casual market. If Sesame Street and gun stringer have good stories and are well implemented, it would lessen the impact sorcery might have garnered. But it could still be impactful if the game is flawless with simple controls.

smashman985435d ago

i think the game will be fine he's just saying that he's going to worry about the traditional controls over the move

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.

Furesis283d 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-inferno283d 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.

ActualWhiteMan283d ago

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

Rebel_Scum283d ago

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

Michiel1989282d ago

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

-Foxtrot283d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77283d 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_Bomb283d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya282d ago (Edited 282d 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-PANGPANG282d 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.

anast653d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai656d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken654d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop656d 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_drake656d 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

TheNamelessOne655d 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.

badkolo654d ago

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

Knightofelemia655d ago (Edited 655d ago )

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