BioShock mobile gameplay looks very familiar
This past weekend, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Pocket Gamer UK (our favorite pocket gaming website from the UK) caught shakey-cam footage of BioShock for mobile phones. Promising "Weapons and tactics never seen," the game (at least in its 3D incarnation -- yes, there's a 2D version as well) looks strikingly like the BioShock we know and love only ... smaller ... and with more sharp edges.Though we can't vouch for the atmosphere nor the mood nor the soundtrack nor the gameplay nor, well, anything other than the decent visuals at the moment, we have included the aforementioned shakey-cam footage after the break for your viewing pleasure. The game's publisher Indiagames promises an imminent release, telling Pocket Gamer, "We're getting close." What do you think? Has the BioShock cow stopped giving golden milk yet?
Someone thinks BioShock on mobile phones is a good idea
Quick, name one thing that could improve the epic, graphically and acoustically rich experience that is BioShock. If you said "squeezing it onto a cell phone with a three inch screen, tinny speakers and a memory cache the size of my old 486" then you could probably get a job at mobile developer IG Fun, which has just secured the mobile phone rights to the game."We're trying to do great things and BioShock on mobile promises to offer a whole new gaming experience and unmatched excitement amongst mobile gamers the world over," said IG Fun CEO Sean Malatesta. Unmatched excitement, you say? Surely you don't think BioShock mobile will be more exciting than IG Fun's other mobile "hits" like Rush Hour 3 and the improbably named Good Night Mr. Snoozleburg. Because that would just be crazy.[Via X3F]
