BioShock franchise has 'potential' for five sequels

I think that it is a bit too early talking about 5 more sequels.

I

The only reason I never got Bioshock was because the demo got boring after a few replays. I mean it would have been fun for a while but it has nothing to offer beyond the story.

I couldn't even imagine trying to play six different Bioshock games. It'd be like the Madden of creepy/awkward games.

I'm still trying to figure out how they're doing the sequel in the first place, the ending, at least to me, didn't really leave it open.

It was allot of fun, and a great atmospheric game but 6 games?

Lol and if they add some stupid Jamaican sounding fish thing, they wont be getting MY money!

Game should just end at first bioshock.

There is no more story and it will just ruin what was already established.

Some good IPs need to end at the first game.

I think 5 sequels would leave the cow awful sore

5? Is that all? What about spinoffs? Talk about missing a trick.

Little Sisterz: a fashion design game aimed at 7 year old girls featuring the delightfully glowy-eyed freaks as models.

Big Daddy in Little China: a platformer featuring Kirk Douglass fleeing from lumbering enemies in Victorian diving suits. Set in Chinatown, obviously.

Would You Kindly: a Dungeon Master clone - you play Andrew Ryan and command your brainwashed minions around Rapture.

Atlas Shrugged: an arthouse game in which you play Atlas, and have no idea what to do, or what's going on.

Game companies need to hire me as an ideas man, I tells ya.

The Elder Scrolls? That's Star Wars. Bioshock? That's... Starship Troopers. :\

Bioshock is def a game that was good enough that I would want to play and sequel that they come out with. I feel like the first story was so amazing that they'll be able to bring so much more to the table in the next iteration. Six may be a bit much but to not bring out another would be crazy.

I still think Bioshock 2 should of been a sequel and not a prequel. Going outside to wreck havoc on the land walkers!

To be perfectly honest I was suprised when 2K announced a Bioshock 2. I thought the ending was the ending of the story and that was it. I can't really see anywhere else where they could possibly take the story to.

Spoilers:




Either the Little Sisters were saved and lead peaceful lives or humans found out about Rapture and really what is there to say about that.

With that being said I don't understand how they could make five more titles for the series.

I didn't like Bioshock in any case but to see it potentially get milked dry like this is really ridiculous. The story on the first one wasn't even as good as people like to think, I mean I've read better books and seen better films.

I think the sequel was originally a knee-jerk reaction to the accidental success of the original, but now they're just taking it too far.

Alright, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just reading around on Wikipedia and here's what I found.

System Shock 1 + 2 and Bioshock = 3 games

System Shock 3 is apparently in the works and so is Bioshock 2 so doesn't that make 5 right there?

BIOSHOCK 4: THE RETURN OF SUCHONG!!!!

THIS VERY GOOD FOR SUCHONG!!!

Bioshock 2 will be both a prequel AND a sequel.

We will get to see how the demise of Rapture plays out in flashback form through the dreams of little sisters (now all grown up and living in cities on "dry land")
We will also get a chance to revisit the tainted dystopia, as the pull of Rapture is too great for them to ignore.
The Big Daddy's search the halls for the little sisters, wailing and moaning night after night and due to the macabre connection these two characters share, both feel the subconcious desire to be together once more.
So...the little sisters...along with a group of explorers and grave robbers, venture back into the decaying halls of a city forgotten.
But...many years have passed...and now something far more deadly than any Big Daddy lurks around every corner.

I think working a story line for 6 games would be awesome and would not be too hard to pull off. Thing to remember is not all games have to be on the same platform and not all games have to be a direct sequel or prequel. They can be set with different perspectives for the same story line giving insight into why a character did what they did or for situations that were unknown to major character storylines revealed that had contributing influences on how the situation came to be. Look at the Silent Hill, Resident Evil or Final Fantasy franchises.
