Yes, that's right. After selling 1.5 million units in just a month, and now, the guys over at Take Two are already talking about a sequel. All I can say is "WHYYYYYYYY???? :'("

Bioshock was (and still is for me, because I'm not done yet...) a truly phenomenal game. While having great, sometimes new gameplay elements (although many were borrowed from another Irrational Game, System Shock 2), the highlight of this game has clearly been the phenomenal storyline, with multiple endings. In creating a sequel, I feel the best part of Bioshock would have to be sacrificed. Firstly, a single ending would have to be chosen as canon, in order to ensure that the storyline makes sense. This basically takes away any meaning to the players choices in the first game, and that truly sucks. Secondly, I hear Bioshock wraps up well, and leaves few questions unanswered. To try to squeeze a sequel out of it just wouldn't work well, considering that.

I am truly happy Bioshock is selling so well, but I hope to god Take Two doesn't come out with a bunch of sequels, to just milk a great series for all its worth. Just let Irrational work on its own, new IP's. :-\

Re: Bioshock 2???

On the contrary....I don't think multiple endings will be much of a problem. I think they could make a brand new story. I knew they'd make a sequel, and am patiently waiting for it. :)
 
Re: Bioshock 2???

If they made a Bioshock 2, I think it would need to be a prequel to Bioshock, rather than a sequel. It's like Cherry said, if they made a sequel it would have to make one of the endings canon to make sense. Either that, or put some weird spin on it. Like, the Sister Savior ending is the real one, but if you got the other ending, it was just a dream or something.
 
Re: Bioshock 2???

I agree, a prequel would be quite cool. You could be a civilian fighting for survival as Rapture's society falls apart at the seems. Maybe a bit similar though?
 
Re: Bioshock 2???

I'm all for a Bioshock 2, especially if it's a prequel.

I could only afford to rent it, and within a week that I had it, I made it about halfway. I still really don't know what's going on all that well. Those freaking diaries are so hard to understand sometimes...especially since you're getting attacked by splicers while you're trying to listen! Gah.

Even if it wasn't a prequel, they could do a separate story altogether. I haven't finished it, so don't jump down my throat if I'm wrong and tell me, oh well, that couldn't happen because of [insert spoiler here], but what if they based it around Atlas?
 
Re: Bioshock 2???

I kept the subtitles on so that the diaries were easier to understand. But even if you missed stuff that way, you can go into the menu and relisten to the audio diaries. :)

Yes, there will be a sequel, and, quite the contrary to what you said, I think this game was great enough to deserve to be left alone, rather than given a sequel that won't live up to the original, and will tarnish the series as a whole.

Not only that, but turn Bioshock into a franchise, and suddenly the great, original setting suddenly isn't so great and original.

I would prefer the game gets a spiritual successor, in the way that Bioshock was to System Shock 2, rather than a sequel.

Also what I heard. Detailing the creation of Rapture, actually. I just picked up the first one tonight (it was on sale) and I will have to wait 2-3 weeks to play it.
 
Re: Bioshock 2

Honestly, I would prefer to see a prequel take on movie form. It just seems like it would be easier to detail Ryan's rise to power (or fall from it, depending on when it's set) in movie form, rather than game.

what we really would like to know is whether or not that rumor about the next BioShock game actually being a prequel is true

Yup.
 
Re: BioShock 2 confirmed

Well I guess this opens up Irrational (2K Boston) to work on a new game. That's good I guess.

Let's hope this next game doesn't shame the series though.
