BioShock creator Ken Levine has shed new light on his upcoming next game, Judas. Speaking to Nightdive’s Lawrence Sonntag in a wide-ranging interview, Levine described Judas as being an „old-school“ kind of game, adding that it eschews modern trends like online and live service.
„You buy the game and you get the whole thing. There’s no online component, there’s no live service, because everything we do is in service of telling the story and transporting the player,“ he said, as reported by GamesRadar.
Levine went on to say he doesn’t want to „diss“ developers who make those kinds of games, noting that they are expensive to make and companies want to see a return on investment. For Levine and his studio Ghost Story Games, the developer said he feels fortunate that company owner Take-Two gives the team freedom. „We’re very fortunate to work at a company where they believe in us enough that they say, ‚OK, you’ve been working on this thing for a long time, it’s gonna cost a reasonable amount of money, and we’re not gonna push any of that stuff on you,'“ he said.
