Les scènes coupées dans les jeux vidéo, c'est comme au cinéma, ça arrive et c'est normal. Mais dans le cas de BioShock Infinite, c'est le contenu de 5 à 6 jeux qui a été supprimé entre la vision originale et le jeu final. Le BioShock qui a tué la franchise, c'est notre épisode du jour, bienvenue dans JV LEGENDS.BioShock Infinite est un titre ambitieux qui a marqué l'histoire du jeu vidéo par son développement chaotique et ses multiples versions abandonnées. Créé par le célèbre studio Irrational Games sous la direction de Ken Levine, le jeu promettait une expérience révolutionnaire dans la ville flottante de Columbia. Cependant, les attentes irréalistes et les difficultés internes ont transformé ce projet en un cauchemar pour ses développeurs. Cet épisode de JV LEGENDS plonge dans les coulisses de BioShock Infinite, révélant les défis et les décisions qui ont conduit à la fermeture d'Irrational Games et à la longue pause de la franchise.Retrouvez tous les JV LEGENDS sur Youtube ou sur JV !Le Wiki bioshock qui est ultra dense pour tout ce qui est contenu retiré : https://bioshock.fandom.com/wiki/BioShock_Infinite_Removed_ContentInterview de Ken Levine dans Rolling Stone : https://web.archive.org/web/20160916112859/http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/we-were-all-miserable-inside-bioshock-video-game-franchise-w439921Wikipedia Bioshock : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock_Infinite#cite_note-rolling_stone_2016-09-14-49Kotaku : the real stories behind E3 glossy demos : https://kotaku.com/the-real-stories-behind-e3-s-glossy-game-demos-1710169104Kotaku : BioShock Infinite Update : https://kotaku.com/bioshock-infinite-update-multiplayer-modes-cut-gears-5933119Polygon : the Final Yearts of Bioshock Infinite : https://www.polygon.com/2014/3/6/5474722/why-did-irrational-close-bioshock-infiniteBioshock infinite remove content : https://bioshock.fandom.com/wiki/BioShock_Infinite_Removed_ContentLa vidéo (en anglais) de @crowbcat “le BioShock qu'on aura jamais” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muJYTeQlvC4&t=317sLe très bon podcast @findugame6610 sur BioShock Infinite : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cY1WcAx1X4 Hébergé par Audion.

«Durante doce años os habéis preguntado: ¿Quién es John Galt? Soy John Galt quien habla. Soy el hombre que ama su vida. Soy el hombre que no sacrifica su amor o sus valores. Soy el hombre que os ha privado de víctimas y de esa forma ha destruido vuestro mundo. Y si queréis saber por qué estáis pereciendo —vosotros, que le teméis al conocimiento— yo soy el hombre que ahora os lo va a decir». Estas fueron las palabras de Ayn Rand y estos son los valores que mueven la vida de Jon Goitia. Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores: ⁠Smartick⁠.

This episode is a continuation from a conversation that took place on the Hall of Justice podcast episode 395. In that episode, Ken Levine detailed his illustrious TV writing career that included writing for MASH, Cheers, Frasier, the Simpsons, and countless others. In that episode, there was no discussion of what this episode is about. While he was writing Cheers and Frasier, Ken Levine was ALSO a Major League Baseball play-by-play announcer. Levine called games for the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres. In this episode recounts in great detail how this successful television writer began calling games into a tape recorder at Dodgers Stadium. That activity morphed into a couple of minor league gigs, which in turn became opportunities in the big leagues. While the entire story is fascinating, this podcast also contains amazing stories about Ken Griffey Jr., Tony Gwynn, and Cal Ripken, Jr. Still, the best stories involve Tom Hanks and Ted Danson, who played former Red Sox pitcher Sam Malone on Cheers.

Acclaimed television and film writer Ken Levine has had a successful writing career that consisted of Cheers, Frasier, M*A*S*H, Everybody Loves Raymond, and countless others. He is also an accomplished Major League baseball announcer. He shared an Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy award in 1983 for his work on Cheers. He recently stopped producing his own podcast, Hollywood and Levine, and his own blog. In this episode, Levine talks about getting his start in a golden age of television. He discussed at length his work on Cheers and Frasier. Furthermore, he comments on the transition from network television to streaming services and how smaller episode totals are a challenge for writers. As for his baseball experience, that conversation will be continued on a future episode of a podcast called Sports with Friends.

After almost 8 years, Ken has decided to end his podcast. In this final episode he explains why and reflects on 20 years of blogging and podcasting.

Last week we were in Boston visting Ghost Story Games where we got to play 5 hours of Judas, followed by a deep-dive interview with legendary creator Ken Levine, whose previous works include Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. This is not a 'preview' - this is a 'pre-preview', in that the game is still very much in development. Our conversation is focused on what Judas is, why it is the way that it is and what Levine and his team are aiming for as they continue development. While we were invited by Ghost Story Games and publisher Take Two Interactive, we paid our own accommodation and airfare costs so as to ensure our editorial independence. Timestamps:00:00 Intro and Impressions32:19 Raycon (ad)34:28 AG1 (ad)36:37 Interview with Ken Levine of Ghost Story Games02:22:40 Wrap Up- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter:  @JakeBaldino- Lucy James is a Senior Producer at Gamespot and a Creative Producer at Giant Bomb. She's actually, like, experienced and credentialed and has real life skills and stuff, while the rest of the gang would be funemployed if the YT algorithm didn't kiss them for random, inexplicable reasons. - Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since. --Listen to the Friends Per Second Podcast on your favourite podcast platform: https://linktr.ee/friendspersecondFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheFPSPodcastFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/friendspersecond
