Where is Bioshock 4? And we should go back to Rapture...
- Thread starter The perfect Dark
- Start date
I don't think it's fair to say that it "pales" in comparison, the environmental/level design in Prey for Talos 1 is pretty extraordinary. The fact that you can literally fly around the entire station from top to bottom is fantastic (in the real sense of the root word "fantasy"). Rapture level design is nowhere near as complex and interconnected, though I'd probably agree that the environmental design/style is stronger. They're both amazingly realized worlds.

I wish they'd go back to the more suspense and horror parts of the game. I really liked the atmosphere in 1. There's just something haunting to it.

I definitely think there's a lot of mileage left in the gameplay of the Bioshock games; plenty of room to build, innovate and improve upon so gameplay wise yea, where is Bioshock 4. However, as an in game universe and story. things need to end to have meaning. Whether you like where they went with things or not, it feels like they really finished Bioshock thematically with Infinite, and then put the nail in the coffin on tying up all the lore with the dlc. I guess I'd prefer a spiritual successor or follow-up then. Something that takes the gameplay to the next level and the narrative style to the next level but a completely different narrative with different themes and thoughts being explored.

Wait we got two bioshock 4 threads now? Isn't one enough? Lol
The tightest Bioshock product ever produced.

It's brilliant, I only played it for the first time this year and totally loved it, way more atmosphere than the main game and the voice acting is incredible!

Back to Rapture? Seriously? Give me a break.
I would be shocked if 2K weren't working on a new Bioshock game. The publisher threw a lavish Bioshock-themed party at PAX.

Fuck me I'd actually like that
I will be amazed if we get a Bioshock in space that's as good as Prey, which was a -shock game in all but name.

Bioshock in Space should be like DARK CITY.
My idea from the other thread would be to base it on THE TRUMAN SHOW (with elements of RUNNING MAN thrown in).

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Bioshock in space just sounds like a horrible idea. What I liked about the series was the theme of "super advanced fictional city for that period in history".
I guess you could set it on 1970s space technology, but that still feels too recent to me.
I'd much rather see a return to Columbia in some form if we have to go back to one of the two. There was so much potential in the opening hours of Columbia that was completely undermined by the game it turned in to once the shooting started. I'd love to see something closer to Infinite's early trailers.
That won't happen though, so my fingers are crossed for a new setting.

The problem with Columbia is
it never existed
I would, like you prefer a new setting.
Actually you know what I would want more than anything though? I know this will never happen, but I want a remake of Bioshcok Infinite, the surreal horror game we were promised, the open levels of Columbia we were showed at E3, the themes of American exceptionalism that we were told would be executed with maturity and tact instead of the confusing mess we got. The initial pitch and gameplay for Bioshock Infinite makes it my most anticipated title ever, and if they could bring *that* game into reality, that would be my ideal future for this franchise even though this will 100% never happen.
I rather they have a game where after the fall of Rapture the government and various companies got their hands on the stuff to make Tonics. This caused great changes and advancements in society and of course like Rapture, everything went to hell because society abused it and many got addicted and couldn't get their fix.
Could be fun.

Shouldn't they make one in space?
Oh right, System Shock 3 is in development!
Technically i didnt play that dlc but you are correct on a whole.
Exactly what I was thinking, doesn't even have to be a main game, could be something separate, but the pre-fall Rapture parts made Burial At Sea Part 1 one of my favorite DLC's.

I meant that we visited Rapture in Infinite as well.

I've had this Idea for a Bioshock game set in a huge dome on the martian wasteland for years.
Something like

I like the idea of the whole city being built around some kind of structure they found on the martian surface left behind by a race that long abandoned mars and a cult who worship it living among scientiest and academics who wish to study it. They devout have powers from worshiping it and the scientists have powers from study and scientific manipulation of it.
The whole city is a political tinderbox about to explode because of the belief by the belivers of the scientists abuse and the belief of the scientists that those who pilgrimage to mars should never been aloud entry to the city.
You play a female scientist who at the start of the game leaves earth to journey to mars to replace a scientist who has gone missing and you're aboard the only flight which is a pilgrim ship which is where you encounter a family on their way. A father and monther and their late teenage son. The ship crash lends outside the city destroying the landing platform and only you and the son survive. What follows is both the player character and the son as the companion learning their own beliefs might be flawed as the city erupts due to them being strandad on mars because they cant fly out and no new ships can easily land.

But Bioshock 2 was a good game. Better than the first in some ways, in fact.

Dead Space 2 kinda has a similar theme to part of that with the Marker.
