Fan-made trailer for BioShock movie is a terrible tease

We might as well come to terms with the fact that we’re probably not going to see a BioShock movie any time soon. Heck, even the game’s creator isn’t in a hurry to bring the undersea epic to the big screen.

That’s why a new, brief-but-impressive, fan-made trailer for a BioShock movie is such a frustrating tease: it hints at how cool a movie based on the hit game franchise could be.

While this trailer offers a more subtle peek at the possibilities of a BioShock movie, others have gone the full-fledged, cutscene route with some success, or taken a more active, DIY (though a little cheesy) approach to the project.

Sadly, it looks like these fan-made BioShock trailers are the best we’re going to get for now — and possibly ever — when it comes to the game.

G-Shock has made the ultimate retro-cool Baby-G Pokémon watch

Casio G-Shock’s newest collaboration is sure to be one of its most universally popular yet, as it’s a collaboration with The Pokémon Company to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Baby-G range of watches. The Baby-G Pokémon collaboration watch isn’t packed with Bluetooth tech or step tracking features, but that doesn’t stop it being one of the most delightfully geeky and beautifully presented watches we’ve seen in a while.

Baby-G watches are designed for women and provide the G-Shock levels of protection that we expect, without the large case that we usually associate with the brand. Based on the BGD-560, the Pokémon Baby-G is still quite large at 44mm wide and 12.5mm thick, but it’s not as overpowering as most full-size G-Shock watches, making it considerably more wearable.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.
