Nick writes: "Ken Levine helmed much of the creative direction of two of the original Bioshock games: Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. Whilst Bioshock 2 served as an excellent sequel to the original Bioshock, the one thing that it did lack was an epic plot twist. Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite included memorable characters, original environments, and magnificent philosophical conceptual exploration.
Leaving behind such an impactful legacy, considering that Bioshock was years ahead of its time when it released in 2007, and that both Columbia and Rapture contain not only eye-catching environments, but impressionable political commentary not found in many other video games period, begs the question as to how 2K games will move forward with this series in particular."
Far Cry 5, Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs writer confirmed as narrative lead for FPS game BioShock 4, some ten years after BioShock Infinite
Meh, they'll never recapture the magic of the first one. The rest are just filler and hand-holding nonsense.
I still remember that opening crash in the water and first stepping into Rapture. Holy crap that was a masterpiece. Didn’t care for 2 and I liked infinite but the first game will always be the best.

Can't have a Bioshock game without Ken Levine.
Can have a Bioshock looking game, if that's the goal.
Game Rant Writes "BioShock 4 has some big shoes to fill, but it might need to leave behind the multiverse set up by the previous games in order to do that."
I think that would be the general idea hopefully
Every Universe the same kind of story plays out with constant and variables, the Light House, the man and the City, so hopefully this new Universe will take us to a world where we are introduced to a new city.
If they decide to go "Oh yeah this other rich guy got inspired by Rapture and made his own city somewhere else" then it would cause a bit of confusion, would that mean this "second" story would happen across the multiverse aswell? Did the same happen with Columbia's Universe?
I'd prefer if they just did a new Universe from scratch with Columbia and Rapture references.
I have no expectations because Ken Levine isn't making it.
Though I'm kind of curious about his next game.
sounds like it's been in development hell the last 8 years. Maybe by 2026? Rise of the Ronin is taking Koei about a decade from thought to production so who knows...
The atmosphere is what made the game. The first game with the underwater city Rapture, the Big Daddies and the 60's style is iconic. The third game tried to have the same feeling of a Bioshock game with a different setting and I think they succeeded for the most part.
That is a problem with games that are successful because of a very distinct setting or feeling that you get by playing the game. To make a sequel that has that same feeling without it being repetitive and add nothing new.
This is nitpicky, but i really enjoyed seeing my weapons evolve as i upgraded them in the first 2 games. I was quite disappointed to see that they didnt take the time to add that into infinite. The game was still good, but i really hate to see any regression in a franchise, no matter how small. So yeah, i hope they bring that back lol.
From Avatar to Indiana Jones, James Bond and BioShock 4, here are the games that remain MIA after E3.
**There wasn't any E3 2022.**
Calling it that is fiction. But I would have liked to have seen Replaced. That 2D looked awesome.
E3 doesn't exist anymore
and one game almost everyone is waiting to hear more about is GOW. Really hard to believe any rumors about delays/release on time because the voice actor for GOW got sick and had to take a long break. I want this game when it's ready because i much rather get the full game instead of release followed by patches
Whenever I think about bioshock I look into the positive side of video games.
