    How different do you think Bioshock 4's development process would be if it were being developed by Irrational/Ghost Story Games and Ken Levine?

      Hard to say, the closer to the first game the better as far as I'm concerned, but Ken might not want to remake the same game. He was behind Infinite, but I wasn't a big fan because it was just too far removed from Rapture.

      Still knowing the information that he's not coming back is sading but that won't stop me from playing BioShock over and over again and if Judas is any good then I will and that to the list and of course play Bioshock 4

      The same saying goes for Steve Jobs. Not comparing the two though, but I guess there are some cost for one's such creativity mindset. Ken's game design has always been unique among the industry.

    Too bad that Ken was overwhelmed by the success of the Bioshock franchise. His guidance will, I'm sure, be sorely missed! I can only hope that his replacements can fully understand the whole Bioshock concept. John Shirley, writer of Rapture, would be a good addition because he truly "got" the Rapture atmosphere and feel in that novel.

    1 was a breath of fresh air in every way for the genre and was beloved by almost everyone who gamed then 2 had great action but felt more like it was for everyone who wanted to “be a big daddy” which was cool but the story, POIs, and character design was missed from the first, Sander, Ryan, there was stuff that made it feel like home but I really Loved how kind the 2nd Narrator was, that he was refreshing yeah Big sister was cool but that’s all I can recall fondly. The thicc splicers were a good add too. Sadly There is a big difference between the 2010 gameplay trailer and 2013 release of Infinite. While I was excited to have Infinite I didn’t appreciate that so much cool shit was rearranged to be a “this is an alternate universe” it was nice seeing 2010 Elizabeth at the end of the game but besides Bookers voice and her outfit 😂 even the Weapon gameplay looked better and I can definitely see what Levine means by making it more appealing to a wider audience because 2013 release was fun but it’s something I’d never revisit.

  • @zacharynathanson2003
    @zacharynathanson2003 7 месяцев назад

    I think it'd be better if Ken Levine doesn't get involved with the next BioShock. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think what happened with BioShock Infinite was that Ken over-did it. I'll admit there are flaws with Infinite, and I wished that Burial at Sea Episode 1 could've been longer.
    Even though I'm not a developer, and don't know much about the gaming industry, the problem I think, and don't take it the wrong way, say what you want, but I think that Ken had the whole weight on his shoulders during the time he was making Infinite. BioShock Infinite could've been developed by Harvey Smith (Dishonored, Dishonored 2), Jordan Thomas (BioShock 2, South Park: The Stick of Truth), Steve Papoutsis (Dead Space series), Amy Hennig (Uncharted trilogy 1-3), or Mikael Kasurinen (CONTROL).
    Each of them might have done a different job with BioShock Infinite and let Ken Levine stepped down as creative director. And also, don't take it the wrong way, I think during that time he was doing those press runs for Infinite in time of the game's release. I wish he had limited those press interviews and let the game speak for itself. While we wait for Cloud Chamber's unleash for the next BioShock game, I'll be looking forward to Ghost Story Games unleash of Judas to see what Levine has in store for us.

    I'm cautiously optimistic about Judas, if only because imo I don't feel much good will from Levine with how Burial at Sea was written.
    I'm hoping with Cloud Chamber and the next BioShock game that they don't feel constrained themselves on what to do for a BioShock game. Infinite's story as a standalone opened up the possibilities for the franchise to be more an anthology series, sharing common elements but not needing to follow things set up in any of the other games to a T. Pick a city, pick a philosophy or belief or social structure to take to an extreme, and watch everything collapse under its own weight.

    Judas looks like another Bioshock game, wierd, woke, hand with elemetal powers, automatons, folk music, so, he clearly didn't run away from makeing another Bioshock game.
    Since the original Irrational Games founders have been ousted, and Lavine is the new company only founder, it would be interesting to know who will own the IP of the new game, since K2 owns Bioshock, that could reveal a real reason for the restructuring.

    I hope they don't even make a new bioshock game so you can stop doing these videos and move on.
    Things ain't the same and gaming kinda sucks now with all the lack of creativity and remakes but I guess you can dream.
    Anyway yeah I doubt there will be a new bioshock just to put the suspense to rest, what we had was a masterpiece and now the devs don't want to touch it and I'm sure it cost tons of money to make a bioshock game for us but the new fans that don't care about or even know what bioshock is might make cloud studios or whomever is making it go out of business either that or like I said it's not coming out anyway.
