TA Ep 20: Speciale BioShock – Benvenuti a Rapture!
Pochi giochi hanno ottenuto l'accoglienza di pubblico e critica riservata a BioShock.
Pochi giochi hanno saputo annichilire il divario tra intrattenimento ed arte, riuscendo a porsi sullo stesso livello di letteratura e cinematografia.
Pochi giochi hanno saputo integrare trama avvincente, narrativa di prima qualità ed estetica sopraffina come ha fatto BioShock.
Nel 1946 l'industriale Andrew Ryan, stanco dell'oppressione del mondo verso gli uomini più dotati del pianeta, costruisce una città sottomarina nell'atlantico, chiamata Rapture (estasi).
Un uomo non ha diritto al frutto del sudore della propria fronte?
No, dice l’uomo a Washington. Va dato ai poveri.
No, dice l’uomo in Vaticano. Appartiene a Dio.
No, dice l’uomo a Mosca. Va distribuito tra tutti.
Ryan rifiutò queste risposte, e le sostituì con la sua: Rapture, un luogo dove i grandi non debbano tenere il passo degli umili, dove gli scienziati non debbano subire le angherie della moralità, dove gli artisti non debbano temere i censori.
Un luogo dove regni il puro individualismo, senza dei o re, solo uomini.
Quando Jack arriva a Rapture, del sogno di Ryan è rimasto ben poco.
L'ADAM è una sorta di cellule staminali secrete da misteriose lumache di mare, in grado di rendere gli abitanti di Rapture superuomini in senso letterale, e questa scoperta si rivela la fine dell'utopia: peggio degli dei sono gli uomini che giocano con poteri divini.
Ciò che Jack trova in mezzo all'Atlantico sono i ruderi Art Deco di Rapture abitati dai fantasmi di quella civiltà perfetta durata troppo poco, infestati da bambine (Little Sisters) che cercano cadaveri per estrarre il prezioso ADAM, protette da mostri in armatura da palombaro chiamati Big Daddy.
Travestito da semplice First Person Shooter, BioShock è un gioco estremamente complesso nella trama narrativa, che affonda le sue radici nella filosofia dell' oggettivismo di Ayn Rand e che, una volta tanto, si presenta inquietante più per i temi che tratta che per le immagini che propone.
Pochi giochi hanno ricevuto un'accoglienza pari a quella riservata a BioShock, successore spirituale di un altro grande capolavoro del passato: System Shock 2.
Personalmente credo che sia possibile considerare questo gioco un'opera d'arte, ma per non farmi influenzare troppo dal mio personale giudizio ho invitato l'amico Francesco, che di certo non ama i FPS, a giocare il demo e a commentarlo insieme a me.
In Tecnica Arcana n°20 - Speciale BioShock vi accompagneremo in Rapture e confronteremo questo gioco per Windows e Xbox360 con le uscite di questi giorni per le altre console: Metroid Prime 3 Corruption per Nintendo Wii e Lair e Heavenly Sword per Sony Playstation 3.

Questo è un gioco che attendevo da tempo.
Grazie alla tua recensione, insieme a quelle varie tipo ign che ho letto, ora so che le aspettative non sono state tradite…
Complimenti per la recensione speciale sul gioco: davvero ben fatta e suggestiva!
Continua così!
settembre 18th, 2007 - 13:38
Grazie Gabriele. Anche io credo che le aspettative non siano state per nulla tradite, comunque il demo offre venti minuti abbondanti di gioco, diversi tipi di nemici, due plasmidi, almeno tre tipi di armi e diverse sentinelle da “hackerare”, quindi permette di rendersi ben conto dell’atmosfera e dei meccanismi di gioco. Un esempio davvero da seguire.
settembre 18th, 2007 - 13:59
Importuno di nuovo perché, vista la fretta con cui ho scritto, dimenticavo una richiesta: da un amante dell’horror quale sei magari puoi prendere in considerazione anche una futura recensione di Hellgate London (http://www.hellgatelondon.com/)
Poi, non per fare complimenti gratuiti, ma sentire la descrizione a viva voce del gioco da te e Francesco è molto più interessante e divertente di qualsiasi delle altre recensioni {scritte} che ho letto sui vari siti.
settembre 18th, 2007 - 19:32
Che ne dici Carlo…? Possiamo deludere un ascoltatore?
settembre 19th, 2007 - 01:54
No, certo che no!
ottobre 24th, 2007 - 23:50
Che meraviglia di gioco! Peccato che la mia “religione” mi tenga lontano dalle piattaforme supportate….ripiegherò sul libro di Ayn Rand!

@Sandrox :
Il tuo PC sembra essere ben superiore ai requisiti minimi per giocare a Bioshock, prova a rivolgerti al supporto online sul sito del produttore.

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Appreciate it!

I’ve previously reviewed the game itself, and loved it.
In general pirates seem to be getting the better deal.
Sure there are some minor things that could be fixed with
a patch, but if you look at the game as a whole, its a masterpiece.
Bioshock is that rare game where the plot, environment,
and combat are all steps above the normal video game experience.
The original developer Anthony Flack actually handcrafted
all the graphics you see in the game in modeling clay.
While there is some serious gun power and weaponry in play, the mental aspect of Bioshock 2 is what gamers
are raving about. Back in 1912, Booker met again with Robert
Lutece for the second time. You swim around, and find
a structure coming out of the earth, inside the structure you
find a submarine of sorts, which you take into the depths of the
sea. Companies like Irrational Games, Bungie, and Harmonix are just a few
of the studios represented in the resumes of The Molasses Flood’s developers.
There are many various other excellent game titles released this season however chose to not checklist the particular games that are simply conjecture.
Having been armed with solid metal armor all over his
body, plus a really large and strong body, there is no way
Booker can ever beat Songbird in this game, even with all
of his powerful guns or telekinesis super powers. Levine, answering questions on a
Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything,’ said it was too early
to tell if Irrational will be working on a
Bio – Shock 4, but that inspiration for a new iteration of the series always depends on an idea they fall in love with and excites them.
To purchase Xbox 360 games you require the necessary tips and
the following list will help direct your selection. ‘After a lot of soul searching, we determined (what makes a Bio
- Shock game) was A, the game takes place in a world that is
both grounded in reality and fantastical at the same time.
This is perhaps how the average fellow on the street will view
DRM but the cold truth is that it is mostly an attempt to combat rampant piracy.
The ‘Bioshock Infinite: Complete Edition’ is the main game plus all of the downloadable content.
Microsoft Xbox 360 is undeniably one of the best game consoles today.
The recently revealed box art for the title revealed Booker De – Witt as
the main feature of the front cover but Moleva’s portrayal of Elizabeth turns up on the extended back
cover which is was also seen in the “Beast of America” trailer.
Knowing this, it is important to find a site that professional with
excellent customer service. Since the console only comes with one controller, you will want to purchase another one so that you can play multiplayer games.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess – This game, along with
Ratchet and Clank really could go in either the loved
ones and non family sections. We’ve seen many games lately, especially the third in a series, end
poorly and abruptly. You can use a wide variety of Plasmids through out the game,
you can also pick up tonic that will give you special abilities,
like extra health etc. Our listing of the top games collection to produce inside Next year.
The graphics are unbelievable, the AI is a lot improved and it’s even entertaining to watch.
