You are absolutely right regarding the production values. I loved and still love the game for its massive amounts of details and depressing atmosphere. So, any other attempt than "we pour money into this project" to get it right will most likely result in "problems" to say the least. Since they decided to cut corners for a good reason we can assume the worst at the moment. Sigh. Thanks a lot for your praise!

The problem that Bioshock has is that it's production values would have to be so high in order to capture the mood and style of the video game that they wouldn't really be able to cut corners, except as far as casting goes. I suppose the look of the game is what attracted people to it in the first place, and that's fine up until they realize they have to pay for it. Fantastic article and analysis!
