''Bioshock Should Have Failed'' Says 2K Programmer

[Kai193]

Speaking at Paris GDC yesterday, 2K programmer Chris Kline told the crowd that in BioShock should never have been the success it proved to be.

“Bioshock should’ve failed, said Kline. “In fact, it did fail a lot, over the course of time. A series of big mistakes and corrections and slipped ship dates, but all of these helped make it a good game.”

Who's gonna show them what Failing really is?

I read about this, and it certainly was interesting. I did not like Bioshock, so it failed for me!

I've never played it or seen it being played by anyone, therefore it is a failure in my eyes

Nah, I'm sure it's a very good game, it just never really appealed to me, it had no WOW factor. Whereas UT3, just being a UT game is a wow factor.

Bioshock was missed by people who think MP is integral to a game and those people missed out on a classic.

[Adzie]

I by no means believe that MP is integral, however I believe it to be a bonus.

However, it is not the lack of MP that didn't attract me to this game. I can't actually put my finger on why I never played it, probably a lack of money.

I Traded in GoW to get bioshock.
