5 Things You Should Know About BioShock

Last week, Game Informer got to play through a three-hour BioShock demo. During that time, they saw some amazing and surprising things. Rather than just give you a minute-by-minute account of the entire experience-with agonizing descriptions of every door opened, enemy killed and line of overheard dialogue-here are five things you should know about the game.

Personally, I think Bioshock is the best looking next-gen game (Yes, I like its visuals more than Crysis or GOW). I hope they stay true to their promises.

ShiftyLookingCow6194d ago (Edited 6194d ago )

I disagree. Crysis is a lot better especially since the environment is much bigger. But Bioshock does have an unique art style to it. It does look better than GeOW.

Edit:
@Captain Tuttle, yeah there are lots of spoilers. I am actually glad I read it. I wasn't exactly sure but I am certainly getting this game now, probably on PC than 360, since it has DX10.

SuperSaiyan46194d ago

It looks pretty darn good but no way is it better looking that Crysis dude seriously.

VirusE6194d ago

Bioshock does look awesome but crysis is breath taking. The video where they show the depth of field when aiming is amazing.

Captain Tuttle6194d ago

There are a few tidbits in there that can be almost considered spoilers...speculation on the plot etc.

MK_Red6194d ago

I know guys. Technically Crysis is a miralce. I dont have anything against it and as I said its just my personal feeling about Bioshock. Maybe its game's art and visual style but anyway I cut it, I enjoy looking at Bioshock more than anything I've seen recently. The textures, atmosphere and the whole world feels alive (And creepy). Cant wait. This game has it all: great visuals, superb story, innovative and hopefully deep gameplay and some serious moral issues!

The True Gamer6194d ago

If Crysis is better graphically than Bio Shock. It all about gameplay and Bio Shock will be the best single player experience so far on the next gen consoles. I can not wait, I been dying for a good original I.P. that shows what next Gen is all about. Know all other console games have to step up after August. Yes, I know Crysis will be amazing, but that is a PC game. For a thousand and some dollars to play it, it better be. But for console games, best graphics so far for Bio Shock.

VirusE6194d ago

I agree that game play is paramount but its hard to argue that bioshock has better graphics. Sure that doesn’t mean that crysis will be a better game (i don’t think it will be) but there is nothing wrong with pointing out which one has more beauty in my opinion.

Didn't the creator write it? It also made a fortune based on the budget so from a business standpoint it is a massive success.

Why BioShock Deserves the Dead Space Remake Treatment

Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.

No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.

FallenAngel1984431d ago

There have already been 7th gen remakes of games already

Dead Space in particular already proves that just because a game looks good on original hardware doesn’t mean it cant look and play better

Jin_Sakai431d ago

Agreed although I’m ready for some new groundbreaking IP this generation.

IamTylerDurden1431d ago (Edited 431d ago )

Agreed. Remasters already happened and still look n play fantastic. DS was a different animal. It needed a remake, Bioshock doesn't NEED it. Infinite Remastered for example is extremely viable even today. What we do need is Bioshock 4. Rumors that equated to zip. Where is it? Ken really blew the pooch as well. Left to go do what? He was inspired by Tell Tale or something and went off to become irrelevant. Nice. And Bioshock Vita was scrapped. Fantastic.

toxic-inferno430d ago

Bioshock 4 is definitely still in development. News trickles out about it every couple of months.

And Ken's next game (Judas) looks great from the teaser trailer.

IamTylerDurden1431d ago (Edited 431d ago )

Yeah. Pretty much. I understand why they did it with TLOU to coincide with the show but certainly it didn't NEED a remake desperately. Obviously u are trolling and expect me defend anything Sony but idgaf about all that. I say what i feel is the truth.

Just like TLOU i wouldn't be upset if Bioshock received a remake but it doesn't desperately need it. I'd probably even play it bc like TLOU, i love Bioshock, but in these aren't identical scenarios either. Ppl kill ND for TLOU Remake yet it wasn't even their project originaly. It started as a potential Uncharted remake and passion project via Visual Arts and was passed to Bend i believe? ND took over bc the project obviously wasn't where it needed to be. And yet they still had Factions and possibly TLOU 3 in development as well. Bioshock has been dormant for a decade bar the remaster. Rumors of a sequel haven't materialised. A remake without a sequel would be disappointing. TLOU Remake is more tolerable knowing sequel/spinoffs are in development. Like i said, dif situation.

neutralgamer1992431d ago

It's not all about looks only

Tweaks to story
Tweaks to characters
Improvements to gameplay

Original bioshock have the worst puzzle solving system and can get frustrating quickly

WiiU-Dude430d ago

The last part you said I agree COMPLETELY!!! Game companies need to mine games from the Sega Saturn, PS1 and N64 days and even the Dreamcast, GameCube, and PS2 days to give a full update to. I know those would require more work, but there are PLENTY of gems from those days that people would LOVE to play again or for the first time with a facelift!!! I know I would.

The games that need remaking are.

Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.

PS5 would produce something special.

There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.

Storm23431d ago

I would kill for Resistance 1-3 Remake/Remaster. Same with MotorStorm series and Killzone series. Man, I loved my PS3. Can we also get the Metal Gear series and rescue MGS4 off the PS3? There is a rumor of MGS3 getting a remake. One of, if not my number 1, favorite game of all time.

On topic, I played Bioshock like 6 months after release after hearing from everyone and their mother how incredible it was. I know I will be in the minority on this, but I couldn't get into it. I think my expectations were too high. Totally my fault. Maybe I should give it another chance...

IamTylerDurden1431d ago (Edited 431d ago )

Agreed, Killzone as well, but Sony has no interest in the future of those IP. It won't happen. If they cared about Motorstorm they wouldn't have axed Evolution. The last remaster from a dead studio "Wipeout" was exceptional yet nobody supported it. Even with a free VR inclusion. If ppl want these remasters...actually support the ones that release. Medievil same thing. Ppl cried for Demon's Souls Remake, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3 and the sales didn't match the cries. None of these games sold as u would imagine given the internet pleas for these titles over a decade or more. DeS Remake did alright but given the circumstances it should've sold better. 92 Meta, PS5 launch exclusive, stunning visuals, and the first of the genre in an age where Eldin Ring will push 30 million units. Yes, DeS is only one platform but still.

Binarycode429d ago

I do agree mostly with what you said.

I bought killzone,2,3. Did not like 4 other then it's graphics.

I bought infamous 1,2. Second son never did it for me apart from again the graphics, so parts were good. But world felt too empty. Probably needed a PS5 to do it justice.

Bought all the Resistance and Motorstorms, those games were awesome. They 100% need a remake.

PS3 was just an awesome machine, I know it was a pain to develop for, but it had some many titles that I loved.
I really enjoyed the Bioshock series, the first 2 were best. Very good games.

As for Demon souls.and the souls series in general. They never have had massive sales. I think because they are very hard games. we are talking a million or less. I think the remaster did 1.4million.

Motorstorm pacific rift did 1.4million PS3.I think.

Hopefully some of them will come back.

-Foxtrot431d ago

I would love this

Expand on the lore

Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines

Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area

Maybe new plasmids

Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great

Aussiesummer431d ago

Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
