Game Rant Writes "BioShock 4 has some big shoes to fill, but it might need to leave behind the multiverse set up by the previous games in order to do that."
Far Cry 5, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs writer confirmed as narrative lead for FPS game BioShock 4, some ten years after BioShock Infinite
Meh, they'll never recapture the magic of the first one. The rest are just filler and hand-holding nonsense.
I still remember that opening crash in the water and first stepping into Rapture. Holy crap that was a masterpiece. Didn’t care for 2 and I liked infinite but the first game will always be the best.

Can't have a Bioshock game without Ken Levine.
Can have a Bioshock looking game, if that's the goal.
From Avatar to Indiana Jones, James Bond and BioShock 4, here are the games that remain MIA after E3.
**There wasn't any E3 2022.**
Calling it that is fiction. But I would have liked to have seen Replaced. That 2D looked awesome.
E3 doesn't exist anymore
and one game almost everyone is waiting to hear more about is GOW. Really hard to believe any rumors about delays/release on time because the voice actor for GOW got sick and had to take a long break. I want this game when it's ready because i much rather get the full game instead of release followed by patches
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.
I think that would be the general idea hopefully
Every Universe the same kind of story plays out with constant and variables, the Light House, the man and the City, so hopefully this new Universe will take us to a world where we are introduced to a new city.
If they decide to go "Oh yeah this other rich guy got inspired by Rapture and made his own city somewhere else" then it would cause a bit of confusion, would that mean this "second" story would happen across the multiverse aswell? Did the same happen with Columbia's Universe?
I'd prefer if they just did a new Universe from scratch with Columbia and Rapture references.
I have no expectations because Ken Levine isn't making it.
Though I'm kind of curious about his next game.
The atmosphere is what made the game. The first game with the underwater city Rapture, the Big Daddies and the 60's style is iconic. The third game tried to have the same feeling of a Bioshock game with a different setting and I think they succeeded for the most part.
That is a problem with games that are successful because of a very distinct setting or feeling that you get by playing the game. To make a sequel that has that same feeling without it being repetitive and add nothing new.
I mean there is always space as far as a new city goes.
This is nitpicky, but i really enjoyed seeing my weapons evolve as i upgraded them in the first 2 games. I was quite disappointed to see that they didnt take the time to add that into infinite. The game was still good, but i really hate to see any regression in a franchise, no matter how small. So yeah, i hope they bring that back lol.
