New Bioshock Setting

[RJ 17]

How about in my memory? Because I don't want them to make another Bioshock.

All the reasons that Zhukov mentioned are reasons that I'd agree with as for why another shouldn't be made, but there's also the fact that the ending to BS:I pretty much completely removes the need for any more games as it spells out "The plot of these games will always be the same, just tweaked a different way."

Beyond that, there really aren't any "creative" places to place a city considering the theme that's already been established of "Building a city where it should be impossible to build a city!" Such as a city at the bottom of the ocean or up in the clouds. There's nothing that screams "Impossible!" about an underground city, nor is there really anything that amazing about a city in space. It'd just be Bioshock: Deep Space 9.

I think we should let this one go to rest. The last game created a goddess of time and space...there's not really much more that can be done with the series beyond that.

They have two cities already and we barely explored them. Why would you need a third one when you can simply have a game set in Rapture or Colombia before the collapse and tell a story about one event in life of one of the more interesting citizens that we never got to meet? The possibilities are endless and you people want a new city.

More Rapture please!! We haven't explored nearly enough for my tastes!

A while back I came up with the idea of a Bioshock game set in like a mechanoid forest. Think like a dense jungle, but the animals are all genetically screwed up and the trees are partially robotic. They could introduce "hunter and prey" mechanics with the wildlife, GOSH JUST THINKING ABOUT IS HYPING ME, DOGGONE IT MAKE MORE BIOSHOCK GAMES.

I'm in the minority, but Bioshock 2 is my favorite entry in the series. Sofia Lamb vs Andrew Ryan was awesome and the story was beautifully written. And actually being a Big Daddy was great.

Whatever, as long as they reveal that Elizabeth was SHODAN all along, finally tying up all the games in some needless meta-wankery.

No, I'm not bitter about Burial at Sea Episode 2, why do you ask.

I dunno if you are in a minority.

Bioshock 2 seems to be pretty well received overall, I personally thought it fixed a lot of the problems I had with Bioshock 1 (being able to duel wield, for example) - the story like you say was well written, the DLC they put out was great, the only thing that let it down was the multiplayer, which to be fair, I think was farmed out and isn't the main draw for such a game anyway.

There were a few stumbles with graphics and sound (texture pop-in is baaaad, and the guy who programmed the sound accidently borked the vending machines and it somehow got past QA and went gold).... but, overall, I think it's amazing.

I'd like to see a sequel set in space, it could open up interesting gameplay mechanics with vacuum and gravity. I'd be happy with a remake of System Shock.

My idea for a new Bioshock would be a sort of Greek mythology themed game, set it during the fall of Atlantis. Instead of plasmids you have magic (a bit boring, but it fits the theme better), the game could feature magi-tek weapons and environments and their use off magi-tek has pissed off the gods (as they believe the humans are getting too powerful) and they are destroying Atlantis, driving cultists to turn on the ordinary citizens in a futile attempt to appease the gods.

I believe with the ending to Infinite, there is so much untapped potential for games being a simmer experience but being different enough to keep them entertaining. I mean how many other games can have the kind of variety in discussions about a sequel that this topic already has.

We could have it set in space... maybe rename it aswell. hmmm, bio is short for biology and the shock is to our biological systems.... Systemshock sounds pretty cool.

I'm still holding out for McCarthy-era American city on the moon. That destroyed themselves over paranoia of the Red Menace.

First off, I hope they don't make another one. Ken Levine has moved on and if I recall correctly the studio has broken up. I'd rather not see the Bioshock equivalent of Halo 4.

Buuuut, if they do... maybe a pontoon city? Like a floating shanty town kind of deal?

Now THAT would be very damn interesting.
