well that should be a bad taste after the chun-li movie and the other bad hollywood productions.

ThanatosDMC5478d ago

Dont worry! They're letting Uwe Boll direct this movie. It'll be super awesome like the rest of his blockbuster movies!

winlonghorn5478d ago

Actually, Gore Verbinski decided to helm this movie over Pirates of the Caribbean 4. :) Here is hoping that this means that he can return to working on that movie. :)

ThanatosDMC5478d ago

Whoa whoa whoa, there's going to be a Pirates 4?! If true... wow! I hope Legolas dies this time around. Yes, i call him Legolas in all his movies and i call the elf guy in LOTR as Agent Smith in all his movies.

I know it's a lot of money to put on the line, but if you've got a stellar director and a good script, you can make it happen.

Christ, if only more movie studios would sack up instead of worrying about the bottom line when it comes to telling a good story - I'd actually be paying attention to 'coming attractions'.

Focus exclusively on making it affordable and you'll kill any significant chance of its success. Doesn't matter how good the director is; if you hamstring him like that you'll never have another Terminator or Lord of the Rings - just a lot of low-budget schlock.

And the occasional hidden gem; but my Blockbuster rental two years after its production isn't going to pay the budget, either.

I think gaming needs a few more years for people to start taking it really seriously and maybe then the movie industry will start throwing some talent at games licenses and actually make a good movie or 2.

I have no idea what is going on with the whole peter jackson and halo thing but that was interesting to hear about, I'm not even a halo fan but if that movie was directed by PJ I would watch it on release day, I love gaming in general and would love to see any GOOD game related movie directed by a big shot director.

King of Kong was nice even though it felt more like an interesting documentary than a movie. It's scary to think how many millions of gamers are just itching to spend their cash at the cinema watching a good game related movie but no one is cashing in on this... /shrug

Hopefully it's halted permanently. Movies based on games suck!

Gore Verbinski is an amazing director.

darkmurder5479d ago

Somehow I think if you took the combat out of Bioshock the dialogue would go for about 10 minutes so clearly theyd change the story around.

pamkhat5479d ago

I have mixed feelings about movies based on video games. I can't really name one that I truly loved. Of course, I'd still see this movie if they do make it. You can't not watch something like a Bioshock movie.

Cheeseknight285478d ago

I'd say this is a good thing but the Director and Writer for this made it sound impossible to screw up. Gore Verbinski and John Logan... it could have been done. At least they didn't have no-names like the rest of the video games films.

BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!

Garethvk177d ago

Didn't the creator write it? It also made a fortune based on the budget so from a business standpoint it is a massive success.

Why BioShock Deserves the Dead Space Remake Treatment

Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.

No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.

FallenAngel1984385d ago

There have already been 7th gen remakes of games already

Dead Space in particular already proves that just because a game looks good on original hardware doesn’t mean it cant look and play better

Jin_Sakai385d ago

Agreed although I’m ready for some new groundbreaking IP this generation.

IamTylerDurden1385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

Agreed. Remasters already happened and still look n play fantastic. DS was a different animal. It needed a remake, Bioshock doesn't NEED it. Infinite Remastered for example is extremely viable even today. What we do need is Bioshock 4. Rumors that equated to zip. Where is it? Ken really blew the pooch as well. Left to go do what? He was inspired by Tell Tale or something and went off to become irrelevant. Nice. And Bioshock Vita was scrapped. Fantastic.

toxic-inferno384d ago

Bioshock 4 is definitely still in development. News trickles out about it every couple of months.

And Ken's next game (Judas) looks great from the teaser trailer.

IamTylerDurden1385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

Yeah. Pretty much. I understand why they did it with TLOU to coincide with the show but certainly it didn't NEED a remake desperately. Obviously u are trolling and expect me defend anything Sony but idgaf about all that. I say what i feel is the truth.

Just like TLOU i wouldn't be upset if Bioshock received a remake but it doesn't desperately need it. I'd probably even play it bc like TLOU, i love Bioshock, but in these aren't identical scenarios either. Ppl kill ND for TLOU Remake yet it wasn't even their project originaly. It started as a potential Uncharted remake and passion project via Visual Arts and was passed to Bend i believe? ND took over bc the project obviously wasn't where it needed to be. And yet they still had Factions and possibly TLOU 3 in development as well. Bioshock has been dormant for a decade bar the remaster. Rumors of a sequel haven't materialised. A remake without a sequel would be disappointing. TLOU Remake is more tolerable knowing sequel/spinoffs are in development. Like i said, dif situation.

neutralgamer1992384d ago

It's not all about looks only

Tweaks to story
Tweaks to characters
Improvements to gameplay

Original bioshock have the worst puzzle solving system and can get frustrating quickly

WiiU-Dude384d ago

The last part you said I agree COMPLETELY!!! Game companies need to mine games from the Sega Saturn, PS1 and N64 days and even the Dreamcast, GameCube, and PS2 days to give a full update to. I know those would require more work, but there are PLENTY of gems from those days that people would LOVE to play again or for the first time with a facelift!!! I know I would.

The games that need remaking are.

Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.

PS5 would produce something special.

There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.

Storm23385d ago

I would kill for Resistance 1-3 Remake/Remaster. Same with MotorStorm series and Killzone series. Man, I loved my PS3. Can we also get the Metal Gear series and rescue MGS4 off the PS3? There is a rumor of MGS3 getting a remake. One of, if not my number 1, favorite game of all time.

On topic, I played Bioshock like 6 months after release after hearing from everyone and their mother how incredible it was. I know I will be in the minority on this, but I couldn't get into it. I think my expectations were too high. Totally my fault. Maybe I should give it another chance...

IamTylerDurden1385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

Agreed, Killzone as well, but Sony has no interest in the future of those IP. It won't happen. If they cared about Motorstorm they wouldn't have axed Evolution. The last remaster from a dead studio "Wipeout" was exceptional yet nobody supported it. Even with a free VR inclusion. If ppl want these remasters...actually support the ones that release. Medievil same thing. Ppl cried for Demon's Souls Remake, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3 and the sales didn't match the cries. None of these games sold as u would imagine given the internet pleas for these titles over a decade or more. DeS Remake did alright but given the circumstances it should've sold better. 92 Meta, PS5 launch exclusive, stunning visuals, and the first of the genre in an age where Eldin Ring will push 30 million units. Yes, DeS is only one platform but still.

Binarycode383d ago

I do agree mostly with what you said.

I bought killzone,2,3. Did not like 4 other then it's graphics.

I bought infamous 1,2. Second son never did it for me apart from again the graphics, so parts were good. But world felt too empty. Probably needed a PS5 to do it justice.

Bought all the Resistance and Motorstorms, those games were awesome. They 100% need a remake.

PS3 was just an awesome machine, I know it was a pain to develop for, but it had some many titles that I loved.
I really enjoyed the Bioshock series, the first 2 were best. Very good games.

As for Demon souls.and the souls series in general. They never have had massive sales. I think because they are very hard games. we are talking a million or less. I think the remaster did 1.4million.

Motorstorm pacific rift did 1.4million PS3.I think.

Hopefully some of them will come back.

-Foxtrot385d ago

I would love this

Expand on the lore

Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines

Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area

Maybe new plasmids

Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great

Aussiesummer385d ago

Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
