I was and still am a huge fan of Bioshock. The original was amazing, fun, and beautiful at the time. Infinite nailed the time and place of the Victorian era a la Mainstreet USA at Disneyland that I LOVE. Very excited to hear more.

 

[Drizzlehell]

If it's not gonna be made by Ken Levine's studio then it's just gonna be a poor man's imitation.

Speaking of which, I wonder what is that guy up to these days. They are still yet to announce whatever game they're working on and it's been years so what gives...

 

[Tommi84]

Developed by who? Oh, well. Here we go... to shit again Peppa will still be the best game. Lets hope those working with the MD and TR are the majority so the game is nice.

Yeah it’s like a MGS game without Kojima.

That game's fucking awesome so I'll gladly take it.

 

[Shtef]

Unreal engine 5, this should look amazing.

 

[DGrayson]

I never played Infinite yet, but I loved 1 and liked 2+DLC so hopefully they can develop something good.

 

[sircaw]

As long as they stay away from the yawn shitfest that is 3 i will be happy.

1+2 is where its at

It was only the last 30 minutes or so that were a yawn fest. The rest was a lot of fun.

 

[YukiOnna]

And for me as long as they make sure it's more like Infinite than 1 & 2, then I'll be interested.

Seriously, good Gawd, I seriously hope not.

Maybe a bit more like the burial at sea DLC, that was a bit better, but not the main game, it's truly is awful for what was meant to be a BioShock game.

I wonder if they've learnt how to do mirrors yet.

Well that said, w/o Ken Levine I don't have much faith in general. It'll just be weird. Regardless of story, each setting has a distinct feel and atmosphere that is hard to replicate.

You made of stronger stuff than me, i did finish the game but after a few hours it really dragged for me.

no worries, theres still veteren irrational games devs....

 

[ParaSeoul]

And the track record of this leaker is? I feel like that should always be disclosed before everyone posts what they want out of a new game

 

[Sosokrates]

On a slight tangent I will say that the consoles are now powerful enough to enable the original vision of infinite and beyond.



It still burns me that the final release was downgraded in so many ways.

 

[G-Bus]

Enjoyed 1 and 2 and I didn't get too far in the 3rd one.

I think im equally excited for UE5 and this being a current gen only game.

all they tweet is bioshock new game shit

just curious, you dislike 3 because of the gameplay or because it lacks horror element?

 

[Portugeezer]

Gimme dat 30fps UE5 next gen goodness.

 

[Flabagast]

Gimme dat 30fps UE5 next gen goodness.

Exactly ! Fuck ugly old gen 60fps looking games

 

[Paasei]

Hmm, I think I have never actually finished part 2 for reasons I do not know/remember. Really liked the first and Infinite was cool, too.

I don’t know Bioshock 2 was a good game and I don’t think Levine was involved. It didn’t have the “new” factor of the first game but I liked it more Gameplay wise than Infinite. I’m not too optimistic about this new one but I won’t write it off completely yet before even seeing anything on it.

[rofif]

Fucking leaks.
I want to be surprised... what's the point leaking all the game awards surprises

 

[Sosokrates]

Im curious to see the difference between a 30fps and 60fps current gen UE5 exclusive.

I wonder if the visual upgrade that 30fps allowa will be worth sacrificing the silkiness of 60fps.

 

[SnapShot]

imagine this but in a new city and less fake scripted sequences, i'd be all over it, i loved infinite but can't help but wonder what it could have been if more of the pre-release stuff made it to the final game

What do you think of the visual upgrade between tlou 1 & tlou 2 ?

 

[Sosokrates]

What do you think of the visual upgrade between tlou 1 & tlou 2 ?

Excellent.
Why? Do you think it will be a similer difference between a 30fps + 60fps on UE5 for current gen?
If so I disagree. 60fps games this gen like doom eternal, battlefield 1 etc compare very favourable to 30fps games like gears 4, uncharted 4, TLOU2 etc etc

 

[brian0057]

Devs be sitting here crafting the ugliest fucking logo you've ever seen in your life.

 

[Perrott]

While the details discussed here all fake, a Q1 2022 announcement for the title sounds logical to me - especially given how it is said to be a PS5 timed exclusive of sorts.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Colin Moriarity just spoke of this in his last podcast.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I don't know guys, never quite understood whether i liked the Bioshocks or not, i mean, sure, the 1st one had a terrific atmosphere and setting but i don't think it played particularly well, i.e, it wasn't anything special gameplay-wise IMO.
The 2nd one was...more of the same (and felt more like a big expansion pack/DLC) while the 3rd one (infinite), well, from a pure gameplay perspective it was one of the most overhyped and mediocre "AAA" experiences back in the day full of scripted events, linearity and even more mediocre gameplay/shooting, i really felt bad spending 60 bucks on it at the end.

The Levine guy is - always in my honest opinion - overhyped.

These games - besides the atmosphere - need something else/extra, a (much) better and engaging A.I, more complex gameplay systems, less linearity and better shooting mechanics/feel.

Don't know how to feel about these news tbh, personally, i'm not expecting anything "special" since it'll be in the same (kinda boring and linear) fashion of the first 3, guess we'll haver to wait and see(?).

 

[The Cockatrice]

I should replay all 3 but the "remasters" are shit afaik.

 

[Laptop1991]

i like all 3 Bioshock's, i hope it's a good well made single player game, there's not many of them around lately.

 

[iorek21]

Is it really necessary to revive this franchise? The original trilogy was already great enough and “complete”.

 

[k_trout]

no Ken Levine?

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'm slightly hyped on the prospect of a new Bioshock game. Please don't release it broken or full of bugs Irrational Games.

 

[Represent.]

The original is one of my fav games of all time. Never played infinite. 2 was ok. Was hoping for a grand return to Rapture.

day 1 on UE5 though. Hopefully this is one of those real next gen showcases

 

[CitizenZ]

Developed by WD: Legion, Mafia 3 developers

lol, that was my thought exactly. WHY would you list titles that majority would consider not very good.

 

[sircaw]

just curious, you dislike 3 because of the gameplay or because it lacks horror element?

I found the environments boring, too much open running and gunning, it's not meant to be some weird version of quake, The items or clothing RPG elements in the game did not fit at all well, i mean it felt like a really shitty bolt-on that they tried to squeeze in at the last minute to add some depth to the game.

Picking up silver, yawn, boring enemies, stupid skyhooks.

The tonics were rubbish, I mean why break an already fantastic system from games one and two. The experimentation with them was so bland i stopped using them all together halfway through the game.

The whole world to me was simply bland, Rapture was just so much more fun to explore and navigate.

I can not stress how disappointed I was with this game,

I don't have many gaming regrets but this game is top of them.


There were some positives, like nice art and finally uninstalling the game.

Infinite is the crème brûlée if you enjoyed BioShock 1 and 2 so much.

Bioshock: Infinite is Irrational Games trying to do Half-Life 2 and failing in the process.
In fact, just replay Half-Life 2.

sounds like bioshock games just arent your thing

 

[ANDS]

Is it really necessary to revive this franchise? The original trilogy was already great enough and “complete”.

The "original trilogy" had a final game that was barely connected to the first two. Another game with a tangent that keeps the spirit of the games isn't a bad thing.

. . .I mean, fun games aren't a bad thing in general.

 

[winjer]

Please don't screw this up.
We've had too many great franchises going bad recently.
