Bioshock

Great game.
Beat it when it came out, and now I am undecided if I should buy it on the PS3 as well.

It's a great gam I got the collector edition with the Big Daddy figure.

I heard the "drill" on alot of those were broke, and if it was reported to the devs. one could get a free artbook.

"Rapture is coming back to life, even now, can't you hear the breath returning to her lungs, the shops reopening, the schools humming with the thoughts of young minds. My city will live. My city will flourish. And when it does, I shall use your tombstone for paving tile."

I played it on PC, great game. I also had the Big Daddy figure and the art book.

They are making a movie you know. Hopefully it will do justice to the game.

and a sequel,Bioshock 2 due next year.
Hopefully it will be a prequel, i would like to see how it all began.....

I heard about that. Not sure it's such a great idea. Bioshock works amazingly well as a game but I don't really think it would make a good film.

Would you kindly start talking about the sequal?

You played the game right, your essentially Andrew Ryan's son, why would the actor playing Jack be older then the actor playing Ryan???

Skarsgård, Dafoe and Glover just arent right in those roles.

And Nicolson is just way, way too old for Fontaine not to mention he'd never do a game based film.

Other then that it looks pretty good.

For Andrew Ryan, get a real Walt Dinsey/Mr. Rogers looking guy. Someone a bit more elegant looking then Dafoe. I would actually really like to see Tim Dalton take on the role of Andrew Ryan, :

"Would you kindly...eat this cookie...":

John Waters for Cohen is a no brainer :


BTW Your Frank Fontaine pic from the game isn't what he really looks like, its the alias he uses on the radio picture to fool you, he is actually bald in his late 30s early 40s and has a mustache when we see him for who he is. The actor also as to be pretty ripped for when he starts splicing twoard the end which is why Willis seemed so perfect to me.

As for Fontaine, I say Bruce Willis or Jason Statham :



Malcom Mcdowell is PERFECT for Doc Steinman :


and Finally Jack, Thomas Kretschmann from King Kong, hes not a big name but a damn good actor and would round the cast out nicely :


Btw this is going to have to be a 2 1/2 hour movie for it to really work. If you haven't played the game, the plot is terrific, nothing like just run around and shoot people, very deep and will make you care for the characters who are unique and very vibrant.

I hope when they make the movie they realize they don't have to dumb it down for the audience like they did with Hitman. Just because we play video games doesn't mean we're idiots.

I saw a trailer for City of Ember which reminded me a lot of Bioshock. I'm looking forward to a lot of wide-angle shots of the cities in both movies. When I was playing Bioshock, sometimes I would just walk over to a window and look around at the city because it's so awesome. I want to live there.

I just completed the BioShock add-on module from the PSN, which has three new challenges called "A Shocking Turn of Events," "The I in Team," and "Worlds of Hurt." It cost $9.99, which sucked, but I have to admit it's a pretty good way to get some additional play out of the original BioShock before the sequel hits shelves later this year. The final challenge, "Worlds of Hurt," is just flat-out hellacious. I'd recommend saving this one for last. Is it worth the $10? Yeah, especially if you're a hardcore BioShock fan. All in all it took me about 2 hours to complete all three challenges, plus each one has a set of trophies you can attain so you'll end up playing a few times per challenge.

Here is a ten minute video for Bioshock Infinite. Ken Levine is back for this one!
Also, is there anyway this thread can be renamed to encompass the whole Bioshock series of games? Sort of like how the Uncharted threads were merged, and renamed.

I just picked up BioShock 2 at GameStop for $8...have to say I really enjoyed it. Same basic stuff but I like the dual-wield plasmid/weapon dynamic. For $8 I can forgive a certain lack of innovation over the first, but Infinite just looks plain awesome. That one I plan to buy soon after release, assuming no major issues with the reviews. Good stuff.

Just curious if anyone else has played/finished Bioshock Infinite. I just did, and it's amazing. Makes me think of how solid of an entertainment venue games could become. The attention to detail, and overall immersive experience the game produces is nothing short of astounding.
