Given that Take-Two Interactive chairman, Strauss Zelnick, confirmed the plans for as many as five sequels to the original BioShock on a company call back in 2008, IGN has their concerns that Rapture and its residents may outstay their welcome – and cheapen the reputation of the franchise. This is why IGN's general thinking is this: you don't want the next BioShock yet. No matter what your gut tells you, you know better. It's too soon. Here's why.
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
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.
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.
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."
This is exciting and congrats to her for being the first female to lead a studio at 2k.
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."
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.
good article.
personally i think part 2 closed the book on the entire series and nothing will bring me back for a 3rd. all i thought about while playing part 2 was how utterly unnecessary it felt. i know it's a money maker but the bioshock i.p. really is a one trick pony.
they can probably do a 3rd one but who knows
I say make it for next gen consoles.
instead od using unreal 2.5 how about atleast upgrade to the latest unreal engine
and i know the setting is main thing but maybe time for a new city maybe start atthe orignal than move to new city just maybe
