Bioshock is 10yrs old! Would ya kindly celebrate...

I plat'd the remastered Bio 1 as part of the collection earlier this year, great game to play through again.

Bioshock 1 is way better than 2 because of the sense of place. And it didn't have that exceptionally annoying, drawn out mechanic of - kill big daddy, get little sister, look for corpses 2/3 times, the whole defensive thing going on. Bioshock 1 was more immediate, which was better at driving the narrative forward. I mean, with this little sister harvesting mechanic in BS2, one level could take hours. Back tracking and traipsing about.

It was a very enjoyable game for the most part, but at the same time it was such a disappointment as it was billed as a spiritual successor to System Shock 2 and yet was an inferior experience in pretty much all areas.

Not sure where else to post this:

I don't care that it is several years away, I am just happy there's a bioshock 4 coming

Just looked at the jobs page: there are 36 openings so yeah, I wouldn't expect a new title, or even news of it, before 2021

What do we reckon for setting; Rapture, Columbia or entirely new locale?

Jeez, 10 years. That got to me, I'd just bought a house, was about to get married and had my whole life ahead of me when this came out. :cry:

Interesting, but judging by the information in that article, I'd guess they're restarting it for a second time at this new studio.

I loved it on the 360, and as I went back playing it on the PS3 and PS4 years later, I found the combat system to be a bit clunky.

We're now up to fifteen years!

I got my Xbox 360 console alongside Bioshock, on the day the game launched back in August 2007. Still not played too much of it as it creeps me out... but I love the style and presentation! I played a fair amount of Bioshock Infinite and really enjoyed that; but it feels like I need to return to the whole trilogy.

I cant believe it's been 15 years. That is terrifying.

Great game. I have never gone back to it, but I remember it feeling like a real step up in quality when compared to just about everything else at that time.

I also remember watching "that trailer" about 50 times. Some of the best use of licenced music in a game trailer ever.

If there’s any game that rewards a replay, it’s this one. So many different things you’ll notice a second time round.
Don’t play it on Series X though - crash central.

Bioshock 1 and the subsequent trilogy are among the best games I've ever played.

Not entirely sure I'd want a fourth installment as the end of Bioshock Infinite and it's DLC tie it all up perfectly.

A next gen trip to Rapture would suck me back in however.

Played trilogy on my Series X 3 times over - no crashes.

Bioshock 2 did, 1 didn’t.

Start a new game and it will ask you if you want to import your plasmids etc
