From the PlanetXbox360.com feature "first look" preview:
"The long awaited sequel to 2K games hugely popular first person action adventure Bioshock 2 is set to take players back to rapture in the safety of a steel deep sea diving suit on a drill gun. Bioshock one was a massive success that enthralled players with its immersive story line and imaginative take on the first person adventure genre of games, with this creating an army of loyal fans who pressed for a sequel. This army will no doubt be delighted with the announcement that Bioshock 2 will be coming before Christmas, along with the extremely enticing trailer 2K games released that raised many questions as to the plot of the sequel. The anticipated game takes place a decade after the events of Bioshock where players will return to the chaos that they left ten years ago but this time they will return in the role of a Big Daddy, Players will play as a Big Daddy but not the Big Daddy we all remember players inhabit the suit of a specialised specimen of the Big Daddy, which has many enhanced abilities to the older versions."
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.
The best games are able to create a never-before-seen setting and weave a completely engaging story into its DNA. One series beats almost all others out for its environmental storytelling and narrative: BioShock.
Hurts to see the word "worst" related to Bioshock saga.
The 3 games are masterpieces.
oh great. Can’t wait to see the posts of game titles in a ranked order without context as to why.
In a podcast with Wassup Conversations, Jordan Thomas, director and the writer of BioShock 2 reveals his initial ideas for a new rapture and how they were shut down by 2K.
"My first proposal was about a little sister, it was playing as a little sister and it was much more horror-oriented pace and about vulnerability, closer to Thief frankly, but I was told no, we want it to be our Gears of War, this need to be a big shooter franchise with an emphasis on the shooter element, and so what I think of the protagonist of a shooter as is a big lumbering sort of porthole on a stick with guns sticking out in front like you’re almost a vehicle."
And he also wanted it to be above the sea or in space. What a wasted opportunity.
It's surprising the game turned out to be good with this guy at the helm. The combat mechanics were actually the biggest improvement in the sequel as much as he wouldn't want to hear that, everything else was inferior.
Game looks freaking awesome, I heard from someone that was at E3 2009 that the multiplayer is going to add a whole new level of fun to an already amazing single player experience, good preview!
Love bioshock, so glad it went multiplatform, day one for me =P
The multiplayer sounds really interesting. I'm really excited about this game, should be awesome! Thanks for the preview.
