BioShock Interview

INTERVIEW: Talking politics, monster closets, and shooters with Ken Levine.

TheMART7154d ago

I hate to spoil the PS3 party, but only a PS magazine said:

"It will be confirmed for PS3, trust us".

With no proof, no link. No source, nothing.

THere has been no other confirmation. On the website of 2kGames there is still only PC and 360 mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, it could well be on PS3, like Assassins Creed is on 360. But it's still not announced in any form or hard evidence.

Captain Tuttle7154d ago

was a great interview. I'm very excited for this game. Nothing beats a good, compelling story that allows choices. Not graphics, not gamesize (22 gigs anyone?), nothing.

Dusk7154d ago

You can't deny aesthetics, and graphics are a big part of that. I'm glad, however, that this game isn't depending only on graphics.

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.

Furesis257d 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-inferno257d 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.

ActualWhiteMan256d ago

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

Rebel_Scum256d ago

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

Michiel1989256d ago

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

-Foxtrot256d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77257d 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_Bomb256d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya256d ago (Edited 256d 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-PANGPANG256d 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.

anast627d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai629d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken627d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop629d 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_drake629d 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

TheNamelessOne629d 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.

badkolo628d ago

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

Knightofelemia629d ago (Edited 629d ago )

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