low budget Bioshock movie is not what I want to hear.

This sucks so much that I almost wanted to downvote it but then realized it wasn’t OP’s fault so begrudgingly gave him/her an upvote

Oof…this doesn’t bode well…

Yeah I’m not watching this. I know Netflix made a good adaptation but their record is still utter shit.

What budget Fallout had? Just wondering how will it affect it, Bioshock still would need more I think.

I’d love a film (think Forward Unto Dawn in terms of scale) that just centered on someone slowly losing their mind in Rapture as everything goes to shit around them. Someone staying locked in their room, only venturing out to get supplies, fighting splicers, eventually succumbing to ADAM addiction, ending with a Big Daddy scene where the protag we’ve been following turns out to be the splicer that was trying to kill the little sister during the intro to Bioshock 1.
It’d be a nice short film, and I’d honestly like for it to be animated as I think that’d be the best medium for this kind of story.

They will fuck this up like Halo with a low budget
A_Womplesneed
At this point they could make the fucking set-pieces out of cardboard and I would give it a standing ovation. I just need more BioShock, come on bro

I don’t think this is a bad thing. Make it in the mould of something like Alien:Romulus, a horror movie in a sci-fi setting, a small story that suggests the larger world. A huge budget fall of Rapture film that feels the need to cast all the named characters and show all the familiar elements would almost inevitably fail.

Budget is something that shows/movies don’t need in order to be great- but god damn could you imagine for example rapture being brought to life with a huge budget? That’d be awesome.

Fallout only worked because it had a big budget. This worries me

This is the only gaming franchise left that I care about that isn’t a show or movie yet and I’d really prefer they not totally fuck it up. Please please please follow the Fallout model. Do not ruin the aura of Rapture.

Oh its bad…

A watered down version it sounds like.

We’re about to get John Bioshock. And it going to have horrible CGI and just totally miss the mark. It’s joever.
SoloDeath1
So it’s gonna be utter shit. Got it.

It was going to be in Rapture. Now it’s a fishbowl.

I legitimately don’t know how you would be able to make Rapture look good on a low budget. From all of the 50’s aesthetic props, the plasmids, the Big Daddies, the city being underwater… It’s going to be an uphill climb but I hope to be pleasantly surprised. Maybe they can save money on cosmetics by just hiring the local crackheads to play the Splicers.
