They could do above ground, underwater, "igloo"/ice architecture, tech for frozen buildings, tech for localized heating, outdoor spaces, building down into the ice, building alongside, on top of, into mountains etc. The location has a ton of potential for that reason but I don't know how well they'll realize it.

Bioshock in space has already been done. It's called System Shock 1 and 2.Bioshock in space has already been done. That it's called Prey (2017) doesn't matter

Well okay, if you think harder about it they can in fact make something cool based on this setting. We'll see.

Infinity is amazing. It's definitely the best one for me. The story was absolutely fantastic. I remember watching a 1h documentary at the time of people discussing the ending.

If it is in Antarctica and not the Arctic it should be Australis. It the aurora borealis in the north and aurora australis in the south. Unless it is in an alternate timeline where the earths magnetic poles flipped.

He has a good relationship with video games chronicles. Him citing them earlier this year is how I know about them.

So likely to release before motherfucking system shock remake I backed during their kickstarter in 2016?

Curious what the Societal structure theme will be. We’ve had Objectivism, Collectivism, and Ultra-Nationalism (or whatever you wanna call Infinite).
Since Bioshock 2 sort of was the opposite of 1, I wonder if they’d do an inverse of Infinite by making it themed around Globalism. May be interesting but I’m guessing the chances are probably slim.

Eurogamer also cited him, which is nice to see. Of course, there's no chance outlets like IGN and Gamespot will extend the same courtesy. They're just going to report this as if they got the scoop themselves.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Bioshock is no question a top FPS franchise,
and hopefully Bioshock 4 isn't cross generation.

Firmament, like every Cyan game, is made of up of different worlds that you travel between.
Firmament was funded on Kickstarter and is still in development but has had a rocky run. They weren't really happy with how it was shaping up, so they nuked it back into pre development and did the Myst remake. Now it's back in real dev again but it's years behind schedule.

Hope the story is like Infinite and it has to be another "controversial" setting or it's not Bioshock.
Levine dropped Bioshock IP and let Take Two handle it because of the toll it took on him and the team developing a large scale game. Didn't sound like he enjoyed AAA development at all.

I remember the dev and marketing he was doing for Infinite and he looked like he had two brand new twins or something.

Yeah. It's pretty well documented since they were open about what got cut and how much of a shitshow it was making the game. An interesting read:

The question is, are writers for games viewed as "intellectual" by the gaming press dumb enough to confuse the Aurora Borealis for the Aurora Australis? Probably. It scans.

It's also a good setting because of the conspiracy theories on the South Pole like ancient ruins and the rumoured unethical genetic experiments that supposedly go on there.

The short story "Epistle 3" by Marc Laidlaw was set on a ship called Hyperborea in Atlantis. Marc is famous for writing the fluff for Half-Life, although I am sure the story "Epistle 3" is totally unrelated to that franchise, which he does not own or control. Curiously similar in mixing up the boreal (lit of the northern regions) and the far southern continent of Antarctica.

Are you trying to say you are as dumb as Trump for backing that game? That's just one poor decision compared to a lifetime of disgusting disrespect for pretty much anyone who trusted him and utter stupidity that made him talk like a poorly written AI. You can't be that fucking stupid.So likely to release before motherfucking system shock remake I backed during their kickstarter in 2016?

The game meet my expectations. not sure why everyone stated to hate it years later. The high scores were deserved at the time

Which DLCs would you recommend to play from the first three games?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Yes, all kinds of games take place in "ice worlds", it's not really relevant. You even googled it but that's what you came up with? It's still in development with frequent updates and did get (co-)funded via Kickstarter reaching $1,433,161. Why would it have anything to do with any Bioshock game?

Just thought that the visuals would show that an Ice world could be interesting. I just could not remember if the game was ever released.

I think people forget that Bioshock 1 was set in 1960 I wouldn't be surprised if there were some references to the first game considering the timeline (assuming the rumour is real).
Even though Rapture was founded in 1945 it didn't finish construction until 1951 but they still went with the 1920s Art Deco style. I'm curious if the art style they choose was more in line with the period or less contemporary.
