The final years of Irrational Games.
A pretty fascinating read about Infinite and Levine.

Wow. I just downloaded the last DLC like an hour ago. It already feels bittersweet to me. Playing as Elizabeth is pretty cool though. ALL THE STEALTH. I'm preparing myself for another mindfuck though. Which I hope will tie up everything.

I feel the ending wrapped things up nicely. Depressing, but nice.

Yeah, I agree, this is without a doubt my favorite gaming series ever. It was nice how they ended it. I would be fine if they another company didn't make anymore after this. But I would be lying if i said i didn't want more.Originally Posted by october_midnight

I also beat this earlier. Fun stuff. Loved the Stealth Aspects. Missed 8 Voxophones/Audio Diaries (dammit!) and I also felt it wrapped the game and the aspect of Irrational Games tenure with this series up.
Spoiler: Loved the ending link with Elizabeth, the tear and how her work with Atlas led to them downing Jack's plane, linking to the first game.

I too beat it earlier today.

I finally got around to playing Burial at Sea part 2 (I've had the season pass but just never got around to playing it this week).
Without spoiling anything, holy shit did I cry. I cried at the start, I cried near the end, I cried at the end, I cried after the end. I've loved BioShock ever since first setting foot in the bathysphere in BioShock 1, and this was basically the perfect ending to it, even if it broke my heart. Sad to know this series is probably going to get milked for all it's worth by some other dev team now that Irrational is no more.

Finished the dlc. Kinda bittersweet about it. Love stealth games, but it should have nothing to do with bioshock games. Story-wise, it was great.

Finally got around to playing the DLC. Many tears were shed. Very nice ending to everything. I didn't care for the stealth mode stuff though.

Sounds intriguing. I completed Infinite and although I did enjoy it I wasn't too invested in the story (Unlike the first Bioshock). I just thought the DLC was another pointless venture into rapture but it looks like I could be mistaken.
The first Bioshock is one of the best games of the generation hands down.

Yeah. I didn't like Burial at Sea pt 1 that much, but Pt 2 and Clash in the Clouds are pretty good. Well, Pt 2 is good story wise, but I think some of the gameplay isn't as good. I don't like how they made Elizabeth weaker and less able than Booker. I know it's their way of trying to push the player to use the stealth crap more often, but I still didn't like it.

Part 1 was pretty fun. Story-wise, it felt more like your usual stand-alone dlc. But, it does well enough to lead into part 2, which is essential to those who are fans of the series. If the series were to end now, I would be content. It brought everything together quite nicely. A fitting end.
That being said, I hope in future games they don't involve any more stealth. Some games just don't work with a stealth mechanic. And it's the second game this year to force it in, that I've played.

I hope they bundle both Burial at Sea parts together at some point and release a disc version.

That's usually the way it goes these days. I'll wait a while to see if they do release it this way to play it. I'll use it as a good excuse to play through 1 & 2 again.

I doubt it.

Just finished Bioshock 2 with the good ending. It was a perfect ending. This is why I love videogames. I can't wait to see what Infinite has in store for me.

Another very small tidbit of news regarding the BioShock movie. Everyone knows Gore Verbinski was tagged to direct but dropped out (word is the studio didn't want to make the movie as violent and 'dark' as he wanted), Ken Levine officially dealt the killing blow to scrap what was done up to that point, etc.
Now, word is swirling around that production is still looking to start in 2015, and that Woody Harrelson is being eyed for Bill McDonagh. When recently asked about it...
"Nothing is confirmed so far, if they decide to push through with the project, my line is open".
Not much I know, but still...I want this movie to be done and done right.

I desperately do not want a movie to happen. There is no reason to make a movie.

I'm on that boat as well. Those movies never work out well. On paper, it's a great idea. Realistically, it'll probably be awful. Look at what they did to Max Payne...

My girlfriend took this photo. XD

I think it would depend on the director and the direction they would take. If Verbinski was doing it, I wouldn't have much faith in it, based on his recent track record. But I do think it should be kept dark and violent, of course. A director like Danny Boyle would knock this out of the park, I think. He could make the splicers vicious and horrific like in 28 Days Later, he could sell the character drama, and he could handle the alternate realities angle, having done surreal scenes in a number of his movies.

We all know what it should be. But, we all know that they'll just make it more "accessible". I'll probably end up seeing it either way though...
Active Member
Likewise. :\ The idealist part of me desperately wants it made, but realistically, I know that a movie won't do the franchise any justice. It might be okay, but unless there's a Bioshock-crazed billionaire out there willing to throw their money at making a perfect film specifically for Bioshock fans (and not water it down by making it "accessible") (lol water), I don't see the movie in my mind being made.
Oh well. Even if it turns out garbage, it doesn't have to affect my love for the series.
Edit: I can tell you right now - If it's not a HARD R, then it won't be worth it - and I have a gut feeling it won't be a hard R.

Take this with a boulder of salt obviously, but there may....M A Y...be a HD remastered BioShock collection coming for the PS4 and Xbox One.
If true, it's an instant buy for me, I don't care how much it is. I hope it's all three, though will take anything at this point.
Active Member
Hopefully it's true. Even though I still have the games on 360, I would totally buy a remaster. I'd be amazed if it weren't all three games.
Stubby Member
I platinumed all three games on ps3...would do it again for ps4. I hope it's real.
Active Member
If this is real, would you kindly buy this for me. Thank you.
