So, there will be Bioshock 3 as well
Friday, June 6th, 2008 - 6:52am
At least Take Two CEO says so. And it will come out together with Gore Verbinski movie. Still, I'm not holding my breath until I see where Bioshock 2 takes the game. If it works, though, this could be one of those fantastic franchises, right up there together with Thief and System Shock in my pantheon.

You know they planned Karate Kid 3 before 2 was finished... Look how that ended up.

This bodes ill for BioShock 2. I smell a Matrix trilogy redux.

Was that the one where they went to Japan or the one with the girl as the main character?
I enjoyed those last two but they did somehow taint what I really enjoyed about the first one. I didn't need to be slapped across the face with 'Neo is digital Jesus' (whoops, spoilers).

Take 2 will suckle from the franchise teet until cottage cheese flows from it.

The fact that they're planning 3 already means that they're treating this, first and foremost, as something to exploit. I think it's entirely likely that 2 is going to suck terribly.

Oh for f*ck's sake, you guys. I hope y'all aren't in too much discomfort after such ferocious jerking of your knees.
Also of interest from the interview:
That's an awfully reasonable release schedule for installments of a major franchise from a major publisher. But please, don't let that distract from the entertaining frenzy of OMG SEQUEL MOVIE SELLOUT WTF!!!1!!
Also, Jordan Thomas, designer of Fort Frolic and the Shalebridge Cradle is creative director on Bioshock 2, which I find to be tantalizing.

I had hopes for this. Now I'm not so sure.
I was thinking more along the lines of the The Sims.

I'm kinda hoping that they go with Bioshock 3: Electric Boogaloo and Bioshock 4: The Destruction of Jared Syn.

Maybe Bioshock: Mars Volta.

That's great news. Fort Frolic was one of the better parts of the game for me.

I think the trepidation comes from the fact that sequels should a) change or innovate in some way and b) have a reason to exist. If 2K starts trying to get sequels out fast, (a) will be impossible in the given timeframe (see: Madden, Dynasty Warriors, etc.) and (b) is not satisfied, the game will be made anyway.
I'd much rather "(New Franchise Name) from the creators of Bioshock!" to "New Bioshock." If there's a compelling reason to return to that world, then I'll gladly buy it. But it being successful is not (from the player's perpective,) a compelling reason. Planning number 3 in advance of even the unveiling of number 2 smacks of shoehorning, which simply will not lead to as good a game as a more natural process which might very well result in no Bioshock 3 (or 2!) at all.
That said, I'm glad the the Irrational guys are enjoying monetary success.

Mars colony sounds good too. I've been looking around and haven't found any good bioshock apparel. It would be cool to have like a long sleeve tshirt with one of the eve syringes plunging into your inner elbow.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm good with a second and third Bioshock, as long as one of them takes place on a spaceship with an insane computer system. A computer so insane it's shocking. Perhaps they could call it Bioshock 3: System Shock. Jus' sayin'.

I don't read his quote as indicating that Bioshock 3 is in anything beyond the roughest of "I think we'd call it #3 if #2 works out" stages.
He seems to be telling the investors that they're not going to delay the production/release of Bioshock 2 to coincide with the release of the movie. As the movie's 'in development' (which, in Hollywood, can mean virtually anything), that seems like a smart move.

Also, that system could have female voice instead of the typical male one. That would be unexpected.

I'd say it's only a question of time until Irrational Games erm... 2K Bosten/Australia has access to the System Shock rights again. Just sayin'.
