IGN - Bill Gardner was a designer on BioShock, and the memorable introduction to Rapture was his design. We revisit the classic area with him.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”

“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
Really interesting hearing these BioShock secrets and what the game could have been but what Irrational chose.
This game is timeless, I mean you can play it at any given time and always love it.
Still waiting for it to be remastered
Man, I really enjoyed that. My favorite game of all time, and it holds up 9 years later like few other games can. It's an absolute master stroke in design from top to bottom. I'm somewhat happy to hear that 2K plans to continue with the franchise, but it's not going to be the same without Ken and Irrational at the helm. I too would love to see this completely remastered, even though it does hold up so well.
I thought the idea of going past rapture to Columbia in the skies was also a great idea. These were all such awesome games and I will miss them very much.
