Bioshock is finally filmed: Netflix fulfills fans their dream

In 2007, Bioshock appeared and was the first of three games of the Bioshock series. Bioshock set new standards with its retro futuristic style as well as a gloomy atmosphere and an unusual story. Now VG247 reports that Netflix will produce a bioshock film together with the game publisher Take Two and its subordinate publisher and developer 2K Games.

Of course, the CEO of Take Two sees the project very positively and hopes that not only the many millions of players of the Bioshock games, but also all new groups reached, which does not know the games or have anything on the hat with gaming anyway. A film about Bioshock has been in conversation for many years, but an already relatively well-advanced idea on the budget, especially since the high probability film is not getting youth release, provided that the optics and the story do not want to be extremely muchowed, and therefore the for Transfer of important target group of children and adolescents is almost omitted.

Bioshock movie: hopefully for adults

For some story components are not completely without, so that a translation for an audience from 12 could rob a lot of the flair of the game. In the first part of Bioshock, who plays in the 1960s of the 20th century, you will find access to the underwater city of Rapture after a plane crash above the sea.

A small spoiler warning to the embedded video: one learns that the city is the project for a new, independent, but strictly regulated society. Meanwhile, almost all inhabitants have become crazy. Here, the substance Adam is the reason that in normal doses should actually only provide a performance enhancement and the people of strengthening mutations - but the matter was out of control, as two counterparties aroused in Rapture and who used an Adam to take advantage of his Trailers to strengthen.

In Bioshock as a player on the inhabitants affected by Adam from madness, but also on the dangerous big daddys, which in large, apparently actually for heavy work in the water-imagined retro diver leads and are difficult to defeat.

The name Big Daddy turns it in turn as they protect the Little Sisters - these are small girls showing around in Rapture and, among other things, draw Adam from the bodies of residents. As a player you can catch a Little Sister and has the choice to save them, or exploit your body to benefit from Adam.

All in all, the game template offers a lot of material for topics such as misguided utopias and medical experiments, escalation of power struggles, the urge to increase performance as well as the exploitation of weak and the cliché of the large protector. We recommend everyone who has not played Bioshock yet, as a revised collection, there are all previous parts since 2020 even for the Nintendo Switch.
