From IGN: "2K has announced a new BioShock game is officially in the works at a newly formed internal studio, Cloud Chamber. However, don't expect this new game in the near future.
Cloud Chamber is a new studio, with locations in both Novato, California and Montreal, Quebec, headed by Kelley Gilmore, who has worked at 2K's Firaxis Games for nearly two decades in various capacities on Sid Meier's Civilization and XCOM."
One of the most popular video game franchises of all time is set to receive a Netflix film adaptation, according to an announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
Gee...can't wait to see how many things they change and stray away from, oh don't forget the miscast actors
I have such high hopes because the first game is so near and dear to me. That being said, I'm sure they will mess it up. I'm hoping it's adult rated, and violent. I want to see a Big Daddy put that drill to good use :P
They're great at butchering stuff but there have also been some gems and surprises.
I never in my life thought I'd like a series based on League of Legends but it was pretty great.
Maybe just maybe they'll do Bioshock justice.
Priority checklist
- Pander to POC
- Pander to woman
- Pander to LGBTQ
- Story
In that order
Damn! It sure sucks when white men aren't the sole focus of everything! Why can't these fringe groups be kept on the fringes like the good ole days?!? /s
Netflix did well with Dare Devil and the Punisher and I hear the Witcher is pretty good I know when I had Netflix at the time Stranger Things was also good. But Bioshock I love the franchise Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game I would pay the $21 Canadian just to check out Bioshock. Normally I would never renew my Netflix after they did their price hike but Bioshock would be worth it.
When firing on all cinders, Netflix do produce some brilliant stuff so I am not feeling pessimistic at all here. If Netflix deliver to their potential then this could be incredible given the quality of the source material. Personally, I am quite excited.
Agreed, Netflix originals etc are fantastic in general, it's rare I don't like something they do.
Certainly not feeling negative with Netflix doing bioshock quite the opposite infact.
Bu bu bu bu but what about Cowboy Beebop though? That was a little miss opportunity. Just a little nervous that Bioshock could turn to crap 💩 like that show. If they do a Horizon Zero Dawn show, I hope they don’t screw that up as well. I know a few good actresses that could play Aloy like Jon Snow’s girlfriend from Game of Thrones, and his wife in real life. Definitely see Aloy in her.
Netflix does a lot of great things, recently finished the first season of Arcane and it was brilliant.
Arkane was so damn good.
I just hope they keep up the quality with later releases.
I'm not even a LoL player.
I’m sure they will, I don’t play the games either, I love the fact that I didn’t need to play them to enjoy it.
Arcane was insanely good imo, I was hooked almost all the way. Im not sure of this but i think Netflix didnt have much to do with the production of the show? More like they just bought the rights to have it exclusively on there?
Some of their original shows are really good so im quite hopeful this might turn out to be a good show. Lets hope they wont F it up.
Love Bioshock but I'll prepare myself for the likelihood this will be both crap and a pale imitation of the source material. That covers most video game adaptations and Netflix films.
I meant Netflix films in general, there are some good ones but most are average at best in my experience. Castlevania is good but I didn't like The Witcher, although it is successful.
Not sure if there are any live action video game film adaptations on Netflix as yet but they don't have a great track record.
@ Nacho
For movies, I think it’s very difficult to cram he narrative from a 10+ hour game into 2 hours. I think that’s why series are much better suited for video game adaptations. Seems we have a bunch coming up, so we’ll see how well it plays out.
GamesRadar - "While specifics of where and when this new BioShock game will take place are light (although you could certainly interpret Cloud Chamber's logo as a potential setting tease), we got to speak with Gilmore about what this next chapter might look like in the hands of her talented team."
Having no online would guarantee an amazing single player campaign, I couldn't agree more, a giant epic single player campaign and then sprinkle on some DLC somewhere down the line and ill be ok.
This is exciting and congrats to her for being the first female to lead a studio at 2k.
The Brzail Advisory Rating Board has rated “BioShock: The Collection” for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
There's no point in the upcoming BC version if they are porting it. This is fake.
The point is, that some gamers already have the games and dont need to buy the collection. So it makes all the sense in the world the MS makes those available via backwards compatible.
But even with the BC on the X1 version there is still the 37 million PS4 fanbase.
For me. I have the games already. am not really into remakes. BC is perfect for me. If I can spare the time I will replay them.
Do your research. Borderlands 2 and pre sequel were the ports, Borderlands 1 is BC.
Man your narrow minded did you just assume that no one would play it over again? Did you also assume that everyone in the world who owns a console played those games last gen?
Smh.
Havin BC doesn't mean you own the game also havin BC doesn't mean the game is running at a better frame rate or better resolution. Buddy this is business 101 what's so sad about this is that most gamers have no clue about business even slightly they seem to have this strange self-centred narrow-minded view on intellectual properties as in they purchased it several years ago, thus Any new release is pointless.
do you really honestly believe you're never going to see a 8k version of Titanic because you own a VHS version of it? What does that actually have to do with the company restoration or remastering the product?
The supply will exist because the demand exist last I heard Bioshock didn't go on to do 200 million units so it's very likely someone didn't play it, thus there is a supply to feed the demand. Read the comments someone will absolutely buy it to cover its restoration cost.
If the publishers see themselves making more money off a remaster, or whatever this is since it seems to be cross gen, they may not support BC. Been over 3 months since the announcement, so maybe they already have.
Not saying that's likely, but I could see people picking up the hopefully upressed version for the current gen, and others buying the collection for older systems, and bundles on PC aren't that unheard of.
That being said, this is for Brazil, and maybe they're BC list is much less spectacular then what we in the US have, so maybe they just won't have access to it on the X1 otherwise.
Otherwise, it doesn't render the BC version useless, nor does it diminish the desire some people would have for a new bundled release. Just means more choice for X1 owners.
The industry does not revolve around backwards compatibility in an Xbox console, nor does the world revolve around Xbox consumers. Thus, it makes sense that they would release this with a view to make money with enhanced versions of the games on a number of different platforms.
Especially so, if 2K have another BioShock game planned.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it includes 2 which is amazing.
I wonder if there will be adjustments at all. Like adding 2 handed to the original, or save anywhere to Infinite.
Never too much much Bioshock! (well at least the first two)
They better do a good job remastering it would be suck to see it ended up like Prototype...
i hope we also get a mass effect trilogy for ps4 and xbox one
and R* should get bluepoint to do red dead redemtpion and bully remaster for ps4 and xbox one
You got that right. This is pretty much the only remaster left that I truly care about, and definitely the game(s)that I was most hopeful for, considering Bioshock 1 is my all time favorite game, and Infinite is top 10 for me.
I only played the 1st game of the series (enjoyed it a lot back in the day). Were the other games just as mysterious and interesting?
@Kingdomcome247
The original Bioshock is a masterpiece, in my opinon. I hope this collection comes to fruition.
@thekhurg
They were. Bioshock infinite was convoluted but still a really great game, in my opinion.
I wonder if the PS4/XBone version has been tweaked or if its a straight up port from last gen...
The ps4 version better be 1080p @60fps like metro redux (excellent remasters btw) otherwise it's a lazy port and I ain't buying.
It'll probably have some improvements. However, since this bundle seems cross-gen as opposed to a straight up remaster, it's too soon to tell how significant that will be. Could not even be a real thing too...which would be heartbreaking, because I'd love to revisit the games in better quality. When I played the 1st two, I had kind of a crappy TV, so the dark environments weren't the best for me.
Interesting. Here's to hoping it's closer in tone and mechanics to the originals, and not Infinite. Good game in most regards, but didn't feel like Bioshock.
Wonder if they'll do a new location or return to Rapture.
Yes! I’m sold already.
Awesome, now comes the waiting game. Excited for a new BioShock though.
This is great news ! Even if it IS far too premature
