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
Super Mario Odyssey was the Nintendo Switch’s debut for the franchise, and we saw our red-hatted friend don a new piece of gear that doubled as his new sidekick, Cappy. With so many characters getting some prominent screen time, Luigi felt completely uninvited to this party. That’s why we can’t help but think that Nintendo has something special cooked up for him in Super Mario Odyssey 2.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
The comparison with European estimates is eye opening
3:2 isn’t great for Xbox but it’s better than the rest of the world. The US is basically the last line of defense for Xbox. If they lose big in the US again, Microsoft might as well shut down the hardware and go full software. It’s about time Microsoft held a fire sale on Xbox Series X consoles, but they are pushing the underpowered Series S as the cheaper, slim model.
For me to grab an Xbox Microsoft needs the first party titles that grab my attention. So far there has been nothing to grab my attention. As for Starfield I will wait and see how that one goes. But as of right now I am sticking to Playstation since Spiderman 2 is around the corner.
Also in July 2023, water remained wet.
Cant trust VG since the Black friday thing they under track Sony by what was it like 800k and over tracked Xbox by almost 500k... They had xbox winning black friday only to come out and retract it after another source came out debunking it and so did NPD. They Under cut sony all the time
