DualShockers writes: "When 2K decided to return to Rapture, many gamers were hesitant to react. Should 2K return to the site of one of the most popular games in history? How would it compare to the classic feel of Bioshock? One thing we learned in the first installment of the Bioshock series was that the underwater city of Rapture was not only vast, but barely even explored the first time around. What surprises and treasures would await gamers as they made their way through the cold, dark, watery city of despair? Could anything that happened even touch the epic ending of the first game? Gamers are getting their chance to return to Rapture to find out exactly what other mysteries lies beneath the waves in the failed city of hope."
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.
I was in love with the first one. I'm dying to seriously get into this game; once I get the chance, it's definitely a game I'm going to purchase. Good review; back to the world of Rapture. [insert scary 1940's music here]
If I could get past the FPS aspect, I might enjoy these titles. I did like the atmosphere of the first one, but that was about it, to be honest. Just not my type of game.
bioshock 2 is great, and DLC is coming soon!
Love this game!
