BioShock creator is making a game about cancel culture. ResetEra reacts.

If you haven't been paying attention to one Ken Levine, he's undergone a quiet chuddening over the years as he became an enlightened centrist type and started liking the tweets of Quillette writers on twitter, joining Razib Khan rooms on Clubhouse, and going on Colin Moriarty's vidya podcast. We saw a trailer for his new game at last night's PlayStation State of Play:

The keen investigators :marseydetective: at ResetEra suspect something is up:

Bioshock is literally the same game as SS2 but more linear. They even have the same exact plot twist.

I'm completely unironic. I played infinite first and it was so cool and awesome and looks great but then I tried to play the first 2 and they were sooooo boring I couldnt.

The original gameplay teasers for Bioshock:Infinite we so amazing. You can do all this wacky stuff with plasmids and looked like it was going to play very different. The game we got was alright, but I think ended up being a more stripped down version than what the studio initially planned to release. It came out more like a standard shooter of the time, but with a rail riding mechanic. And having someone follow you around and just constantly heal and feed you ammo eliminated a lot of the tension the previous Bioshock games had.

My point is, it could have been a way better game, and i hate change

What gave you that impression?

Was it when the horrifying ambient stalker monsters were cut and their design regurgitated as camera turrets in a nonsensical dream sequence?

I have seen the most unspeakable things done to this character.

And only like half of it was even hot.

!coomers Biopeepee Infinite Elizabeth and the 2012 reboot Lara Croft were the Kweens of early 2010s SFM kino :marseycoomer2: :marseykino:

That said though, you are right, this was the time when DeviantArt/Furry cute twinkry was still quite popular in SFM circles, before they fricked off to their own niche fetish shitholes, and the Elizabeth/Lara anims were 50/50 whenever if they were gross or hot :marseydeadinside:

The story was really badly written.

The ideas were decent, but the underlying mechanics were r-slurred, and ruled by convenience.

It looked great, though.

No comment on the gameplay, since I wasn't the one actually playing.

Because games writers are failed movie writers that completely ignore the fact that linear stories don't use the only storytelling advantage video games have - interactivity.

You obviously haven't played any of the Hideo Kojumbo games, or one of Quantic Dreams cinematic experiences (TM).

But unironically, I disagree.

Bideo Fijima just makes cheap spy romps with a dash of 14-year old profoundness. Not bad games, not good stories.

Not true.

Empire Total War for example allows you to recreate the birth of the United States in beautiful detail. You can even sail over to Britain and bring the revolution to King George's doorstep.
