His dislike goes beyond just gamers it's about tech and disconnect etc. This has been brought up in multiple interviews and articles over the years (Under stage and real name).

I think this would be a good example as to why he has an issue with such things. Tsk Tsk.

LordMaim2649d ago

Well the game is over 30 years old, so it isn't exactly revelatory, but frankly you gotta respect the brass balls the man has in just about any aspect of his life.

JCW20052650d ago

and now look at him in yakuza 6. lel

LordMaim2649d ago

I think its about time. His Yakuza movies are incredible, so its a natural fit for the franchise, and a perfect addition for Kiryu's last adventure.

Might as well just cancel it.

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

TheNamelessOne1d ago

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.

badkolo0m ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie

that merch tho.

ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently

We’re never getting an amazing mainline Pokémon game again are we

phoenixwing2h ago

Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying

ZeekQuattro1h ago

Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣
