Variety writes: "Have you been wondering why "Bioshock" creative guru and 2K Boston chief Ken Levine has been strangely absent from the press recently? Why "Bioshock 2" is being made at a separate studio and all Take-Two has said is that he "will be involved?" Why he wasn't available to talk on the record about the "Bioshock" movie? Why nobody knows what's up with him?
As several sources have confirmed for me, the answer is simple: Levine is re-negotiating his contract. Coming off the big commercial success (2.2 million units sold) and even bigger critical success of the game, Levine has become one of the very few recognizable and respected names in the videogame development community and he's trying to use that to get the creative freedom and compensation he feels he deserves. Take-Two, meanwhile, obviously wants to keep the guy on board, but is probably wary both of not spending too much money and also not setting a precedent that it will regret having to follow with the creative director of every successful game going forward."
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 !!!!
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.
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.
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
Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
This guy needs to swooped up into a big company like Sony or Microsoft and put on promising projects.
The only reason I liek this guy or his game is becuase it shows games without multiplayer can still be a success. I personally don't like it, but an exmaple needs to be made of critically successful games than are born without multiplayer.
360 can keep Bioshock really, but just so long as the industry recognises not everythign needs to be mutliplayer. The short time I had my PS3 connected up to the internet saw me downloaidng demos, and that is all.
It's the industry that is saying otherwise. There are millions of folks that buy games for personal enjoyment and the one thing that I have resented lately is that it is the industry that is pushing online play for everybody. They need to recognize that games like Bioshock, Uncharted and many more are there for those of us that want a decent romp through a single player campaign and that these games are still worth their weight in gold. Kevin seems to be one of those that appreciates this and I give him props for it.
Anyone who played System shock 2 will recognize the brilliance of this man.
Id be worried ps3 owners because he is not working on the ps3 port of bioshock and quality may suffer as a result.
