"Let's make a game like System Shock 2," says Lead Programmer Chris Kline in the Bioshock making of documentary included with the collector's edition of the original title. A game so well-received and creatively fulfilling that it served as the jumping-off point for Bioshock itself. While prior Irrational titles like Freedom Force or Tribes: Vengence failed to leave the splash that Bioshock eventually would, there was one game that hinted at Irrational's potential. Would you kindly complete your Bioshock education by seeing what details from the franchise you likely missed? These are 15 Things You Didn't Know About Bioshock.Īlthough Bioshock's development company Irrational Games will forever be associated with the franchise, the team had 6 completed games under their belt before they achieved mainstream success with the release of the first Bioshock. With the release of Bioshock: The Collection, both newcomers to the franchise and fans of the original games will be stepping into the worlds of Rapture and Columbia – but even if you are revisiting the games, a few details may have slipped by. Irrational Games followed up the Rapture duo of games by taking to the skies with Bioshock Infinite, which featured many of the same touchstones while taking the philosophies of the game in a wild new direction. The first two Bioshock games managed to take the tired first-person shooter genre and use the medium to take players to the beautiful and unsettling underwater world of Rapture, propelled by a thematically rich story unlike anything else on the market at the time. Few games have pushed the genre of first-person shooters, and video games as a whole, forward in the same way that the Bioshockseries has.
