The rumor is that they're making one. Personally, I feel like the sorta free roaming nature of Bioshock and Bioshock 2 would lend itself well to an MMO, particularly if there was a wide arrray of Plasmids. I don't know if I'd go so far as to pay a monthly, but I'd enjoy it. Anyone agree with that?
BioShock
Bioshock is a series of award winning first person shooters published by 2K Games. The first and third games were developed by Ken Levine's Irrational Games, while the second installment was handled by 2K Marin.
Would you be into a Bioshock MMO?
" Nope. Rapture is good for a one-off experience, I don't want to stand in the middle of some creepy ass building and type "WTS" and "LFP". "Uh huh. It would just get depressing after a while. Besides, how big can Rapture be anyway?
You wouldn't get the same feeling of being alone with only you and the splicers...and some main story characters.
That's a huge thing that affects the atmosphere of the game.
I'm not really into MMO's in the first place, so I guess I wouldnt play that, even thou it's Bioshock. Also, the only real reason I played Bioshock all the way through was because of the story. I don't find the gameplay all that enjoyable. I think it gets old a little too fast. But on the other hand, as an MMO gameplay might be tuned up a bit with new abilities and new weapons.
Anywasy, for now I would have to say pass...
But can't you characterize any world of Bioshock as being a miniature sandbox? One with a few side missions built into the world and a few main missions which you are pointed to? Couldn't an MMO just be a fully open world version of that model? Where there are tons of audio diaries and mad splicers roaming around the vast dead city?
I could see plot working like this. You are a world superpower who has suddenly discovered rapture at the same time as your rivals. A little simple I suppose, but gets the job done, justifying multiple players and a basic rival faction. Plus, the idea can be that parts of Rapture are being indoctrinated under each Superpowers ideas.
Rapture is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there which is effectively what an MMO does.
