Support NeoGAF

I'm gonna be honest, I can't picture where they could take the franchise from here. If some kind of sequel ever comes out, I fully expect it to be the kind that arose from design of committee sludge without any genuine creative vision behind it.

I think only the first game is good, but I'm kind of surprised they haven't made a prequel.

It's coming. It will likely disappoint though. It simply can't reach the highs of the the first game.

Irrational, like so many other great 00s American developers, no longer exists

If there's anything it's likely to be a remake by a different studio.

Take-Two established a studio in 2019 called Cloud Chamber and they have been developing a BioShock game since, would you like them to rush it and release a subpar broken game or that will be f*ed up too?

We got recently Prey 2017 which is even better than BioShock but nobody supported

I guess that's why we dont have games like these anymore

Bioshock Infinite was already a decline and I wouldn't be surprised if they make an even more dumbed down entry, so I don't know if this is for the better.

And btw, if the first two Bioshock games were inmersive sims, they weren't very good then (and I liked both). Bioshock was a FPS franchise. And just because the third one wanted to have a piece of the CoD cake doesn't change that. Just another franchise losing part of its identity to follow a 'winner' trend.

The first two games were both amazing, and easily one of the better titles made during the 7th gen. Then Infinite came out, and we don't talk about Infinite.

It has been TWELVE YEARS since the last Bioshock was released. 12 god damn years. This is unacceptable. This IP is way too good to just shelve and sit on.

What could be the reason that they haven't made one? Levine left, OK, find another person, no big deal, it's not like they're an indie studio. I am so desperate for one that i would even take Infinite 2 at this point ffs. Could look so damn good on UE5 (also run at 19fps while stuttering).

I loved Infinite. The transversal is amazing.

Prey got thrown under the bus at launch with IGN and Gamespot. There were bugs, as most would expect from system heavy games like immersive sims, and rather than contact studios to report and then maybe go over it if devs say it'll be patched, like we see a ton of times in modern times, they gave Prey a 4/10 (IGN)

They later changed it to 8/10, but damage was done. Peoples don't hunt re-reviews, they think the game is shit and move on.

Even a 8/10 is ludicrous for one of the best immersive sim ever.

Sucks that gamers don't seem interested in the genre, I don't get it, it's some of the best gameplay out there.

Ken Levine's JUDAs coming up at least.

as others have posted

this is as close as we will get to a new bioshock.
