What’s interesting to me is of course how cheaply Bioshock got made compared to today’s blockbuster hits. Somewhere, we took the wrong turn in regards to modern game development, truly.

Too many managers to pay and as a result too high personel costs, I would assume. :<

    Netflix is also working on a live-action film adaptation

    This totally won’t be a disaster.

      I would argue that Bioshock is one of the few video game franchises that would probably do well in a non-interactive story medium. It’s a very story driven video game. As long as they trust the writers to respect the source material and come up with a compelling story, I think it could be great. There’s always a chance that it’s a disaster though.

      They’re going to hyperfocus on the shades and the armblades, and totally miss the whole point of the series, I guarantee it.

      There have been quite a few great video game adaptations lately. Last of Us and Fallout come to mind
