BioShock universe a "rich creative canvas" for many new stories

<< LINK REMOVED >> hint: 2k is not EA or MS

Bioshock without Levine is like resident evil without Mikami.

No Levine, it's not bioshock, no buy.

I will give 2k a chance, no sense condemning them before we see what they come up with.

To the topic title, of course it is. I think it's really unfortunate we won't have the team that was behind the original Bioshock and Infinite on it, but I liked two (just as much as Infinite really overall), and I'll definitely give others a chance on the franchise and be excited for it. I just hope it doesn't turn into an Assassin's Creed/Call of Duty type deal, though that's not saying those can't be done well.

How long until we get Bioshock: A Telltale Adventure?

And with 2k as the artist, eventually that canvas will be painted with poo...

I didnt even remember about the Vita Bioshock until they brought it out right now

Should've called Infinite "AeroShock" and kept it separate from "BioShock". I know--that horse is dead. I'll stop swinging.

BioShock franchise a "rich Milking cow" for many new yearly releases

There, Fixed the Title for you.

Too bad the universe is so rich yet the story blows in every game.

Sigh.

Just let it go. Don't run the series into the ground.

The creators of the IP have moved on, let it die in peace.

Sooo System Shock 3 then? Please i want SHODAN back.

Ok, while we're speculating with hardly any info, let me throw my hat in:

So there's this studio out there called 2K Marin. 2K Marin's last game flopped, so one would think they would've shuttered that, but they didn't. So what?

Not only did they do Bioshock 2, more than HALF of the people who did bioshock 2 did Bioshock 1 at Irrational. They know the universe, and they've done the switch from Boston to San Fran already.

And they're hiring. And they'll be at that little job fair at Irrational.

Which means a studio owned by 2K, a studio that has no business continuing to exist after The Bureau, is a) somehow financially viable enough to be hiring and b) just so happens to be the largest collection of experts in the Bioshock universe in the industry.

Hmmmm.

Maybe the franchise IS in expert hands. And before we go all "Without Levine it sucks," look at the credits for the games. Hundreds of people. Hundreds.

Many of whom are having a little reunion by the bay.

2K wants to continue it?? Without ken Levine there is no Bioshock.

Bioshock 2 is a good game, but it doesn't even come close to how magnificent the original and Infinite above all, are.


Let's hope they know what they're doing, 2K is a pretty good publisher after all.

bioshock is dead

Boy I really hope that isn't the sound of the cow being led to the milking machine...

"BioShock is one of our most beloved and critically acclaimed franchises"

Um... let me tweak that...

"BioShock 1 and BioShock Infinite are our most beloved and critically acclaimed games. Without Ken Levine, don't expect much."

Yep. Fixed.

Without Ken Levine and the guys from irrational games , I see very little hope for the franchise .

They and only THEY made this amazing universe possible and without them this universe will never be the same .

As much as I find Bioshocks world interesting, I never felt like it met its true potential. I dont hate linear games...but if your going to create a world with such a fantastic premise, I would prefer to be given the free reign to explore it.
