BioShock Coming To Cell Phones

Posted by Soulskill on from the look-at-little-sister dept.

Pocket Gamer reports that a development studio called Indiagames is working on two separate licensed versions of BioShock for mobile devices. A video was shown for the familiar-looking 3D version, and they're doing a 2D adaptation as well. Indiagames' Sean Malatesta said it was in the final approval stages, and that "our guys and 2K have really captured the essence of the game in a 2D format. It's really unbelievable. It obviously doesn't look like BioShock as you know it, but it gives you the same essence. The guys are pretty proud of it."

    With spending like this, exactly what are "conservatives" conserving?

    I'd sell humanity out in an instant, just to have SHODAN's voice available to tell me things like 'You have five (five) fiiiive new messages, i-i-i-insect.'

  3. Missing the point of Bioshock by Robyrt · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We didn't buy Bioshock and give it all these Game of the Year awards because we liked the mechanics. The game is impressive because of its atmosphere, its unfolding mystery, and the sprawling world it invites you to discover while fending off hordes of bad guys. The actual enemy killing part is the least interesting portion of the game, but it's the only part of the game that would translate to a cell phone.

    We're happy to report that in the cell phone version of the game we've been able to include the full version of the hacking mini-game! In fact, that's all we included...
