Why won't Bioshock make AAA?

I just finished watching the videos for Bioshock, and I must say this game looks amazing, both gameplay wise and graphically.  The water effects are great, and the character models looks good, too.  The environments look amazing.  And the gameplay looks lke it could be one of the best 1st person shooters yet.  The idea of the genetic enhancement is altogether disturbing but looks to be a great gameplay element.

But people seem to doubt this game could get a score in the AAA range.  Why?

Because multiplayer is absolutely positively neccesary for a game to make AAA. Or so say the jealous cows who can't get this game.Hot_Potato

Why must a game have multiplayer. I would rather have an amazing single player experience, like what Bioshock will offer, than an uninspired multiplayer component. That statement saddens me so much, because Mass Effect and Bioshock will be better than most multiplayer games this year.

Because there is no online, which I think is no reason for a game not to get AAA. The gameplay may not translate well to online, so what? weffer

If Gamespot takes off points for no multiplayer, that's just being stupid.  Not every game has to have multiplayer.  Like you said, the gameplay might not translate into online very well.

Because the mass media will shun it. -_-. Same thing with System Shock 2. Its been named one of the greatest games of all time................with an AA score.Vandalvideo

bioshock will flop on every console/pc its released for. It will never get AAA. It will be lucky to even get AA.mr_pops238

mutliplayer is nesscirstary in order for a fps to make AAA title. because it brings in much more depthangilk

but its not just a fps.Its more of an rpg in first person with guns available to you. The developers even suggest to avoid using your gun unless you really need to use it.

Yeah.  Heck, I'm glad Prime 3 won't have multiplayer.  The one they had in Echoes sucked.  The lock-on system doesn't translate well into multiplayer.

Because I use AAA for my car, you know if it breaks down, they come and pick my car up for free, thats why, because Bioshock is a video game, not a service for vehicles.air0123
