Bioshock lead programmer Chris Kline said "Bioshock Should've Failed"

Final Blade | 7 days 16 hours ago | News | PC Playstation 3 Company  | views: 2230

"In fact," he continued, "it did fail a lot, over the course of time. A series of big mistakes and corrections and slipped ship dates, but all of these helped make it a good game."

In early 2002, realizing that the team needed to make a big budget title, then-Irrational Games decided: "Here was o..."

2K games have confirmed the release of Bioshock onto the PS3, on October 2008 this holiday season. 2K games also confirms the development of this title have been in the works, which sort of goes against what Ken Levine’s past statement, that they have no plans of brining Bioshock to the PS3.

Halo 3 is still plagued by problems seen in previous games where both level design and gameplay are concerned. BioShock, on the other hand, was a superb gaming experience and should have easily been the top of the bunch on the list."

BioShock doesn't come in the flavor of wide screen

tekmosis | August 21, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 1783
A user by the name of Paddywak posted on the 2k forums mentioning a graphics bug when playing BioShock on a wide screen resolution. This problem occurs on both versions of the game (XBOX 360 and PC).

As you can see in the image the red lines are the areas viewed (or loss of view) when playing in wide screen. Now, this is unsure of if it's the demo versions only (PC demo version only for sure) but was it the leaked copy 360 versions or the demo? Hopefully 2k can fix this issue and put out ...

Thompson body slams BioShock ads

mistermostyn | August 20, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 2438
"Old JT isn’t terribly chuffed that the BioShock commercial in question (link at the end of this article) is for an M-rated game, and yet is being shown during a programme which may have people under 18 years of age in its audience. To which we have only one thing to say: BioShock is out in the US on 21 August, and in Europe and Australia on 24 August. So long as you’re the right age, you’ll probably want to get it, as it looks tremendous."

BioShock gets Steam'd

Wolfwood | August 16, 2007 | News | PC  | views: 1657
While you're waiting for BioShock on the PC (assuming you didn't already run off with an early Xbox 360 copy from a certain toy retailer), you'll soon have to option of downloading the game directly from Valve's Steam digital distribution service come August 21st. The game is already available on Steam for pre-order for $49.95 USD, so if you're not willing to head to retail for a boxed copy you can secure a direct download on launch day instead.

Review Round-up: BioShock

mistermostyn | August 16, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 1818
"Without further ado, here’s a gathered peek at what the critics are saying about BioShock. To be perfectly honest, the scores and comments you’re about to see are, well, unprecedented.

They are also likely to exist as a truly monumental yardstick of quality that almost all succeeding FPS offerings (regardless of host platform) are going to struggle to reach, let alone surpass."

Toys ‘R Us sells BioShock early

Vito Raliffe | August 14, 2007 | News | XBOX 360  | views: 2097
"That’s right! Toys ‘R Us has broken BioShock’s street date of August 21st. A member over at the NeoGAF forums casually walked into the store and purchased the game along with an Xbox 360 Elite and Madden 2008. He isn’t the only one who has purchased a copy early, as other members soon checked their local Toys ‘R Us stores to get their lucky little hands on the game. Even worse, various Gamertag’s have sprung up with players who are currently playing the game and have already unlocked achievem..."

Bioshock Art Book Available for Download

Subtle Demise | August 14, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 2216
"Way back when I was creating the BioShock Limited Edition, I took a poll for what you guys wanted to see in the box. And while we managed to put your top 3 choices in – the Making of DVD, Sountrack CD, and Big Daddy Figurine, we just couldn’t manage a BioShock artbook.

But with a game as beautiful as BioShock, that just didn’t sit right with me. Because everyone should be able to experience the beauty of BioShock, see the concept art and visualize the evolution of building such a revolutio..."

BioShock The Game No-One Wanted To Publish...And Demo Available Now

Krunal | August 13, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 1954
""This sort of attitude really pissed me off. System Shock II, for all its critical success, didn't sell very well which turned buyers off. Something I realised very quickly was that as much as your boss won't ever know that you turned down a future game of the year, he will know that you signed up a turkey. You don't get fired for not taking risks. That kind of mentality is driving the industry into a creative cul de sac.""

Bioshock "one of the best FPS titles in gaming history" says latest review

mistermostyn | August 13, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 2095
"For the past day or two the promise of a “special announcement” has been floating around on the Interweb regarding 2K and Irrational Games’ underwater epic BioShock. Well, that promise has now been duly fulfilled.

No, sadly publisher 2K didn’t announce that the hotly-tipped FPS/RPG hybrid would arrive free to anyone prepared to legally change their name to Captain Nemo, nor did they reveal that each copy of the BioShock Collector’s Edition would come with its own inflatable Big Daddy and ..."

BioShock Demo on Xbox Live Marketplace

Vito Raliffe | August 12, 2007 | News | XBOX 360  | views: 1415
"As many know, the Bioshock launch trailer premiered tonight on Spike TV during Kill Point. The news that everyone was actually interested in though was that fellow game journalist Geoff Keighley had a surprise announcement in regards to the game. Speculation quickly spread. Was it a PS3 announcement? A demo for Xbox Live users? Not giving a damn about whether PS3 owners get the game, I was hoping for a demo, even though I already have the Limited Collector’s Edition on reserve. Thankfully I w..."

Silver Mirror | August 10, 2007 | News | PC Playstation 3  | views: 2361
"There may be just two week until Bioshock is released on the Xbox 360 and PC but it seems as if we may not know everything about the title. According to internet reports, Irrational Games is set to make a suprise announcement regarding Bioshock on US Television this weekend alongside a new trailer. Speculation has suggested that the PS3 version is to be announced or perhaps a less exciting announcement of downloadable content is to be unleashed."

New Bioshock Trailer To Debute On SpikeTV With Surprise Announcement

xsynergyx | August 09, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360  | views: 1912
"While it seems to me there have been no end of BioShock trailers like this one or this one or this one, 2K Games has one last trailer for their spooky underwater adventure in store for us. The catch? We have to tune in to Spike TV on the night of Sunday the 12th to see it. All I can say is this had better be a damn fine piece of video game commercial film for me to want to take time out of my busy Sunday schedule of sitting around on my ass to flip the channel to Spike at 9PM Eastern to watch..."

7 Games Saved By GTA IV Delay

Krunal | August 04, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 Company Misc  | views: 2566
The delay that has made many fans upset and angry, has also been a saviour for some game developers that no longer have GTAIV to compete with for christmas. Which will obviously mean that they will have more reason to release it before then, and will most likely be getting more notice from you than if GTAIV had released.

The games ofcourse are:
    1. Bioshock
    2. Army of Two
    3. Lair
    4. Haze
    5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
    6. Assassin's Creed
    7. Heavenly Sword

IGN: PC's Most Anticipated Games of 2007

Storm | July 29, 2007 | News | PC  | views: 1494
"Earlier this year we longingly gazed ahead into the year of gaming lying ahead of us. There was so much to look forward to. At this point, some of it has been release while some of it has been pushed out of 2007 and into 2008 (hopefully not beyond). With that in mind, and having just visited Santa Monica for this year's E3, we decided to take an updated look at the rest of this year's future because there's oh so much to be excited about.

August Xbox 360 price cut claims retail source

mistermostyn | July 25, 2007 | News | XBOX 360  | views: 1312
"The Hollywood Reporter claims today that Microsoft will cut the price of the Xbox 360 by $50 USD early next month. Their retail source says that the cut discount will take effect on August 8, traditionally a slow month for console sales.

The timing of the decision could also be even more significant. Just a few days after, Electronic Arts' Madden NFL 08 will hit the shelves, as well as other highly anticipated titles, including Irrational's BioShock and John Woo Presents Stranglehold from ..."

BioShock Will Not Have Multiplayer.

Storm | June 23, 2007 | News | XBOX 360 Company  | views: 1769
"What about multiplayer?

Ken Levine: Not in this game.


Is that something…

Ken Levine: A lot of people ask about it. If we had multiplayer in this game, BioShock would not be the game it is. You only have so many hours in the day.

The list of games that have ground-breaking [gameplay]…whether it’s GTA or, I’m trying to think…even the initial Half-Life multiplayer was kind of a joke. Nobody played the initial Half-Life deathmatch. It wasn’t until there was Counter-Strike.

Bioshock Could Be Headed To PS3

Linkin Park Fan | May 31, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360  | views: 1527
"According to the Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Bioshock is in development for the Sony PlayStation 3 console.

The magazine states many times that the game is in development even though the thought up until now was that the game is going to be an exclusive for the Xbox 360 console.

The magazine mentions that the exclusivity of Bioshock is only a timed-exclusive for Microsoft. This means that the game will be an exclusive on the Xbox 360 but for just a short period of time. It will th..."
