Her most recent title, the Playstation 3 game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, launched last month to strong reviews. and in today's installment, Hennig explains what she looks for in an action/adventure game.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast56d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai59d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken57d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop59d ago

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.

gold_drake59d ago

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

TheNamelessOne59d 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.

badkolo58d ago

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

Knightofelemia59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

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

AC1 Reimagining and AC2 Remakes first ... then Black Flag and others.

just_looken78d ago

It was talked about awhile back that the Singapore branch the ones that made skull bones are making a black flag remake. It has at that time 3 months of work put into it.

You believe something good would come from Ubisoft? Did you sleep the last 10-15 years?

just_looken78d ago

Right ubisoft has been on life support for awhile everyone of there ip's has had huge shift's in population/sales and fan base.

Right now its all about xdefient but that game is still fixing netcode issues 3 years in.

-Foxtrot78d ago

The only time they should be remaking the first game is when they are ready to reboot the series after a long break and want to get back to their roots. Start a new re-freshed timeline which they've convoluted.

just_looken78d ago

Though capcom has had sales for there re games lets not all forget the huge elephant in the room which is mod support.

The first resident evil remake was made by fans taken down by capcom then they stamped there logo on it after that mods came in made the replay factor way better than the original.

But when they made them all in house then came the cuts for the modern audience followed by re4 mt's then they went after the modders even in really old titles trying there best to crush mod support. Then you got the horrible drm crap pc port of village and that dumpster fire online re game.

So capcom has made money on remakes but after awhile there shine is not so bright

I hope ubisoft does not copy capcom as they would turn that dial from a 8 to a 11 add in there own mt's to older titles with time savers live service bs or worse black flag with stamina meter's.

MeteorPanda78d ago

don't you dare touch the first ac game. Your woke team would ruin it's charm

AndrewM77d ago

Woke has nothing to do with anything you fucking weirdo.

MeteorPanda77d ago

They wouldn't understand how to remake the first ac games, they'd ruin them with real life politics. Happy?
