bioshock 3 ideas

[suhlEap]

i realise i'm getting way ahead of myself here, what with bioshock 2 not even being out yet, but i'm sure we all know the basic concept of the new game. i was thinking what the story/concept for bioshock 3 might be. anyone think it's plausible that it could be set during the civil war?

i realise it would be a very different way for the game to be played, but it would give a whole new slant on the story of how rapture fell. you would be able to fully understand the events that led to the war, and how the people felt at the time. rapture would still be in working order so to speak, and you would be able to experience first hand how it became the rapture from the first game.

you could perhaps play as somebody that hadn't really used plasmids but had to in order to fight in the war.
and to clarify i wouldn't mean it to be a war game like COD or something, you could maybe be some kind of guerilla/spy for one side or the other.
anyway enough rambling, what do you guys think, and do you have any other ideas that might be good for the third game?

I always thought that Bioshock 2 would be set during the War until they released the background info.. oh well.

I think it'd be a good idea though.

Let's get through BioShock 2 before we worry about BioShock 3. BioShock 2 has enough trouble right now as is. (2K is calling in more and more developers too help out...I'm getting worried. I smell design by committee).

BioShock 3...already? Like Macgyvercas said: "Let's get through BioShock 2 before we worry about BioShock 3."

really? any idea why? are they just running out of time or what?
and i know it's early, was just thinking about it myself and wondered if it sounded like a good idea really.

From what I could tell from Game Informer, I think they are having trouble finishing it (don't quote me on that, though). I hear they tried to get Ken Levine, the writer of the original BioShock to help, but he said no.

As I said, I'm getting worried.

I think that there should be flashbacks. Like, when you enter a new area or something, you flashback to what Rapture was like in its prime and get to walk around and explore for a bit. I also don't want to play as a Big Daddy. I want to play as a regular destructible person in a horror environment.

That actually would be cool, if it were in a different game. Personally, I think that Bioshock series should just be ended. The first game, let's face it, was only original because of its setting and story. Since these are now iconic, Bioshock 2 is pushing its luck with them. Sure, the producers are going to milk the series for all that it's worth, but I think that it shouldn't have any numbers higher than 1 attached to the end of it.

If it gets made maybe they'll have the protagonist as another of the original game's characters. Maybe we'll be walking around as a little sister extracting adam and shoehorning game mechanics into a retelling of the sequel's prequel..

I don't know but I think we should see if 2 is good before they milk the cash cow another time.

I don't want to see a Bioshock 3.

Bioshock was mediocre.
Bioshock 2 looks like more mediocre.
