Oh wow, that's amazing. The BioShocks and Arkane games are my favourites. Ken's narratives with Arkane gameplay and level design would be a dream come true
The fact that Andrew Ryan was played by Armin Shimerman who was in Deep Space 9 and that later on René Auberjonois, who was also in Deep Space 9, would play Mr. House in Fallout New Vegas, a very similar character (based on the old classy eccentric business tycoon types such as Howard Hughes) is quite the interesting coincidence.
They have a fresh start with Judas without the baggage of Bioshock and the expectations of a huge budget game, they have the potential to do something really special with Judas.
The guitar and voice duo video of Unbroken in the creds was very heartwarming. And made for a nice hiddenish scene where Booker plays guitar and Eliz sings a short shnippet of the tune, played at the start of the game in the sanctuary, for a scarred little abandoned boy
Man, that torture scene in Burial At Sea was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen in a videogame. Makes Sleeping Dog’s torture scene look like a 3 Stooges Ep
Jack screams like Tobey Maguire. That’s why I’m saying The Great Gatsby was a missed opportunity and should’ve been BioShock instead. Then with DeCaprio as Andrew Ryan. And maybe that mean baseball bat dude from Walking Dead as Atlas/Fontaine
Hasn't this game been under development hell for several years? Similar to Bioshock infinite? Curious how the only bioshock game aging like wine is the one without Ken's guidance.
There’s no need to be so presumptive about the quality of a game like this, the results will speak for themselves when it releases. All the Bioshock games shine bright when put up against most of the stuff comes out nowadays anyway, and I see no reason to be so down on something that’s born from an actual creative vision and desire to innovate right now given the state of things.
Celebrities in games ruin the immersion. Unless if the game is based around the celebrity(s). Like WWE, sport games, movie license games, mosh pits of celebrities or world known fictional characters, and rarely, a game just about one celebrity. Usually turns out terrible with the last one.
You forgot to ask him about the deal with the BioShock movie. Was it canceled way back when, or is there a new thing happening? And please GOD, don’t let it be another ‘series’ or streaming service dragged out boring show. The Great Gatsby 2013 should’ve been BioShock instead. Perfect cast and style direction in sync with BioShocks’

Hearing that Kens studio just hired 6-7 devs from the Arkane team warmed my heart. Can't wait to see how Judas turns out :)
Oh wow, that's amazing. The BioShocks and Arkane games are my favourites. Ken's narratives with Arkane gameplay and level design would be a dream come true
Dishonored and bioshock are 2 of my favorite franchises of all time. Wow!
Definitely have more developers on here
Can’t wait for Judas ❤ I absolutly love Bioshock series and the work of Ken Levine and his team… Really can’t wait ♥️

This is great. I really enjoyed Bioshock 1 & 2, but couldn't play Infinite without getting sick due to Simulation sickness :(

Please Mr levine. Make a new thief 🥺
Please I would like to see an interview with creator of game INDIKA.
I should really pull myself together already and make some games with Unity 3D. My computer don’t like Unreal Engine. It’s unreal
He’s basically the dad in that Alexander movie played Michael Scott aka Steve Carell
With Ben Stiller’s hair gel
Can you interview Tj Rotolo? You know the original voice of Frank West in the Dead Rising series.
Elizabeth always be looking at me with a skeptical face in Infinite. Probably cause her subconscious remembering he caused the pinky incident.
Come and take my money, buddy!!
Thanks for this conversation MR,how can I contact with Mr Levine? Because I have question😍?
How did you get Ken?!?!
Jack screams like Tobey Maguire. That’s why I’m saying The Great Gatsby was a missed opportunity and should’ve been BioShock instead. Then with DeCaprio as Andrew Ryan. And maybe that mean baseball bat dude from Walking Dead as Atlas/Fontaine

Bioshock 1 is a very fine wine also, infinite sucks and always did

I think he just spoiled Judas 5:46
BON IVER? MUSIC DIRECTOR??
At least you don’t that one dude, who almost permanently deleted the whole Toy Story 2 project, on your team. /;)

It will be a rail-shooter. 😂😂😂

Bioshock 4??🤷🏻♀️
Everything Reeves is in, ends up being mediocre at best. But usually it’s trash
