"With word coming today that BioShock 2 now has four different development houses (2K Marin, 2K Australia, Digital Extremes, Arkane Studios) working on the title, the question must be asked: What's wrong with BioShock 2?"
One of the most popular video game franchises of all time is set to receive a Netflix film adaptation, according to an announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
Gee...can't wait to see how many things they change and stray away from, oh don't forget the miscast actors
Netflix did well with Dare Devil and the Punisher and I hear the Witcher is pretty good I know when I had Netflix at the time Stranger Things was also good. But Bioshock I love the franchise Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game I would pay the $21 Canadian just to check out Bioshock. Normally I would never renew my Netflix after they did their price hike but Bioshock would be worth it.
Love Bioshock but I'll prepare myself for the likelihood this will be both crap and a pale imitation of the source material. That covers most video game adaptations and Netflix films.
The best games are able to create a never-before-seen setting and weave a completely engaging story into its DNA. One series beats almost all others out for its environmental storytelling and narrative: BioShock.
Hurts to see the word "worst" related to Bioshock saga.
The 3 games are masterpieces.
oh great. Can’t wait to see the posts of game titles in a ranked order without context as to why.
In a podcast with Wassup Conversations, Jordan Thomas, director and the writer of BioShock 2 reveals his initial ideas for a new rapture and how they were shut down by 2K.
"My first proposal was about a little sister, it was playing as a little sister and it was much more horror-oriented pace and about vulnerability, closer to Thief frankly, but I was told no, we want it to be our Gears of War, this need to be a big shooter franchise with an emphasis on the shooter element, and so what I think of the protagonist of a shooter as is a big lumbering sort of porthole on a stick with guns sticking out in front like you’re almost a vehicle."
And he also wanted it to be above the sea or in space. What a wasted opportunity.
It's surprising the game turned out to be good with this guy at the helm. The combat mechanics were actually the biggest improvement in the sequel as much as he wouldn't want to hear that, everything else was inferior.
2 big differences.
Now they are shoe-horning in multiplayer so they are rushing and doing whatever they can just to get the game done. So you get your MP but the entire game suffers for it. ugh.
Also the PS3 was not involved when the first Bioshock released and now it is. We know what kind of problems the PS3 can cause developers and we know how Bioshock ran on the PS3 with missing textures and the like.
What a shame that in an attempt to wh0re this great game out they are just putting a bullet in its head.
I am trying to stay optimistic since I loved the first one but lots of red flags at the moment for this sequel.
you started out great with your first paragraph then you f!cked it up when you had to involve your g@y love with M$, SO PLEASE MORON GET A F!CFKING LIFE. I mean that literally...get out of your basement and get some sunlight.
Was one of the best experiences I have ever had on a console in terms of its unique narrative, art style and gameplay (even though it didn't innovate the first person genre)I can only hope that Bioshock 2 maintains the standards set by the first game. I have no idea whether this will happen or not but I'm hoping.
I'm really tninking about getting this game
i'm not even buying Bioshock 2 it wont feel the same since the original team is long gone..
