The original BioShock thrilled gamers with a gripping story about genetic horrors in an underwater city called Rapture, but the madness unfolded entirely in monologues delivered to the mute player, whether issuing from the mouths of other characters or found in “audio diaries” scattered around the destroyed world.
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.
So we won't be seeing Banjo Kazooie in it. It's not that kind of 'Rare Collaboration'.
It doesn't take much of a gamble to say that I think that this game is going to be fantastic. With the skyrail idea giving it more levels to access and the appearance being sunlit as well as dark, it may get higher scores from many sites than even the original Bioshock.
May be
This was a good article it really shines a light into Levine's creative process. It's just another reason this game is going to be so great.
