The thing that disappointed me wasn't that it was so different from the first Bioshock, it was that it was so similar, only now in the sky.
I agree, and I really respect Levine and his team (remember, they had no part in BioShock 2, a game which I already forgot) for really trying to push more of a concept then a game. The original BioShock was a very different, very sureal game, that came off as very smart and mature under the FPS shooting and stuff. It really explored the various depths (pun intended) of human psyche and a bunch of other pretentious sounding stuff. What would happen if you got all the brilliant minds in the world to create a utopia? You'd get a dystopia.Shru1kan said:As much as I disagree with the creator (how this is even possible without sounding pretentious is beyond me), I do see his point. I mean to him, it may be an idea, but for his base, they interpreted it in a rather different way. Losing all of the above options such as big daddies and splicers and ADAM will be a difficult concept when it is so thoroughly ingrained as a gameplay mechanic and even the backstory of the city (which is also not present).
I will think of this as a spiritual sequel. Not exactly Bioshock, but close enough to earn the same title.

Or it may be called Bioshock because...The Austin said:The game is called Bioshock. It's quite clear that the game was about severely and dangerously altering biotic structures, as seen in it's title, Bio-shock.
Yes, because a sprawling underwater city several fathoms below the surface isn't a ridiculous setting at all.ciortas1 said:I understand why people want more Rapture.. Wait, no I don't. I got a little disappointed to see them work on a game with the same exact idea, except *gasp*, it's set above the clouds instead of in the bottom of the sea. Let's not even get into the sheer ridiculousness of the setting. We'll see how it works, though. And I really hope that after this they just bugger off with their bioshocks. The first one was good, no need to whore it out completely.
What part of "supersoldier with exposed internal organs" did you miss?Woodsey said:1. You realise Levine created the first game and had nothing to do with the second game, right?
2. You've seen a few screens and a fucking trailer, don't pretend you know all themes of the game. Or much about the game at all for that matter.

The second game was bad enough, now this jerkoff is acting like everything that made bioshock good is irrelevant to future games because he completely botched his handling of rapture.
