BREAKING: BioShock 4 developer Cloud Chamber is laying off an unspecified number of staff.

Also, former Diablo boss Rod Fergusson is taking over as Cloud Chamber’s new studio head. More than a decade ago, he joined the troubled BioShock Infinite and helped salvage that game’s production.

Rod to the rescue, again! I think BioShock Infinite turned out great, hopefully he can repeat history!

Yeah, BioShock Infinite was a big mess and he has done a great job. These games, most of the time, lack a direction and a leader who knows what to cut and what to change or rework.

I am a lot more confident that we will actually see Bioshock 4.

I do like his efficiency but not the vision. I think his direction for Gears was not the best.
