2K Marin is busy busting some alien assignations with the first-person version of XCOM, but apparently it has plenty of artillery to throw around. J.R. Hogarth de la Plante, one of the founders of 2K Marin in 2007 and the lead artist/level architect on the BioShock series, lists an "Unannounced Title" for which he is the art director, right on his resume.
Hogarth de la Plante doesn't describe the new title itself, but does explain that it's a brand new IP that he and four other directors are inventing and pitching internally. If it's still open to improvisation, Mr. Hogarth, may we suggest a stylized, top-down 2D adventure, played as a Little Sister as she fights her way through the terrifying realm of 1980s high school? You're welcome.

Bioshock - mediocre gameplay/ great story
Bioshock 2 - great gameplay/ mediocre story
I prefer Irrational Games (formerly 2K Boston) make any Bioshock games. I like games with a good story over anything else and you can tell with number 2 they didn't really care about the story even going as far as adding the completely uncalled for and irrelevant multiplayer.
Ken Levine knows what he's doing. He actually cares about the series. I can tell because I also care about the series. He is the only one I trust with the franchise.

@The Soft Machine you're going to have to do more than double post if you want me to do that to your face.
