The news that Irrational Games, creators of the BioShock -series, will be shut down has shocked the gaming world while leaving fans mortified. Many are also outraged by the decision as contributing to the industries exploitative business model.
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Gareth, Justin, and Michael at Skewed and Reviewed look at timely and topical entertainment news on their latest show including the latest video game movie and news of another in the works.
The movie was absolutely garbage !!!
BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
The announcement that Irrational Games is closing down has mortified gamers while reigniting the criticism of the industries exploitative practices. Right now its not guaranteed that everyone at Irrational Games will gain new employment with Take-Two while some may struggle to find new employment in this troubling economy.
Sad to see one of the more creative forces in the industry go down, but I doubt this is the end of Ken Levine.
This sucks
So does this mean that there will not be a bioshock vita game? didn't they announce something like this a few yrs back?
Sigh.. Still pissed off about this!
