Well i did play the game and liked it a lot. The story is excellent and the world of Bioshock should make for a very interesting production design.
The names you mention in the news make me hope for a good movie althuogh of course there is a trap: If the movie would turn out to become a mere horror flic then it would be a failure because the game centers around the utopical idea of a city (under water) where the mind of scientists and intellectuals can act freely and what becomes of that ideal.

That game was so very overrated. I honestly don't understand how everyone and their Grandma thinks it's such a wonderful story. A WORLD UNDERWATER! AND YOU GET TO FIGHT THE SAME CHARACTER MODELS THE WHOLE GAME! LET'S THROW IN THE SAME GUNS THAT HAVE BEEN USED SINCE FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS BEGAN! I'd shit in this movie's mouth if it were my girlfriend.

ok at "ohcomeonnow" for probably never playing BioShock. the game was really great.awesome environment. im super excited should this get rolling. I do think that for them to cover alot of details and minor parts of the game that have an impact, would take to much time for a movie, which is upsetting.

Yeah I couldn't possibly think differently than ANTON, the almighty video game wizard who knows all. Are you saying that putting a city underwater is really unique? That's taking a city and not putting it on the moon or in a sky setting, they put it in water. Those are pretty much the first places you could possibly think of putting a city for something SCIENCE FICTION-Y and I just don't think it's that far of a stretch of my imagination for me to sit here and beat off on a bland, slow and UNORIGINAL idea. It's atlantis set in the 50/60s or whenever. You fight the same stupid looking interchangeable guy/girl crazy people with the arm knives and mouths that move like fucking muppets. Not only are they boring LOOKING characters but you are left so unfulfilled after mauling one or two of them down let alone a whole room full of those annoying looking things. And I'm sorry if I don't want to play pipe dream every time I want to xHACKx something. It's stupid. You're stupid. Oh and hey what's so pretty about walking through the same tunnels over and over again? Were you really entertained when you got to CHOOSE what you wanted to do with the little girls? WASN'T THAT SO COOL? Fuck you and fuck Bioshock's boring water physics.
Are you upset that I'm right? Go play rock band with all your boring, unoriginal bro friends, douche bag.

My personal thanks go to ohcomeonnow for demonstrating to all of us, that a good rant can only come from the mentally challenged.
Simple question: If lots of people like the game, so much in fact, that they buy it and it runs without any major bugs, why do you think the game is a failure? Oh, i'm sorry think doesn't seem to be your strong part.
Anyway: There was a very good reason WHY the city was underwater. And it's probably not so very bright if you start to criticize the story and then proceed to complain about game mechanics.

...but the game sucked. still. There still isn't a reason to like this game. Having no bugs means nothing. Bully was a great game and had terrible bugs when it first came out for 360. I also don't care WHY the city was underwater because it was BORING.

Just face it, its being made. So shut the hell up.
