E3 showed us that, for this year at least, the shooter remains the same. But how long can the genre's dominance last? What'll happen when the fall begins? What comes next?
Let's take a look at the precedent set by TV and the games of the past to try and predict the future of the shooter and what type of games will populate the post-shooter world.
Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.
i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.
but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story
Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
2K Cloud Chamber is ramping up recruitment with 30 job offers on its BioShock team. There's still no word on when the game will launch, though.
Actually looking forward to playing "Judas" from.Ken Levines development team .
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Only here for the Duckhunt screen tbh...
Isn't it said the other way around? "The Shooter is Dead. Long Live the Shooter."
The shooter isn't dead, it just smells that way because it's sitting there in dirty underwear, refusing to change.
