This one better have online play, and it will sell probably 4 times as much as the first.

How the heck would you incorporate online play into that game...It is better left to Single Player as it is...

Ok that's great news, but it wil be by the 2K Marin team?? What have they done? Bioshock was done by 2K Boston and 2K Australia (Irrational Games), so if they are not the ones working on the sequel will it even be worth playing??

I'm excited for a chance to play more Bioshock, but I can't help but have a negative feeling about the change in development teams.

2 million doesn't seem like much for what a good game it was. I'd like to see it be a prequel with the Ryan vs. Fontain turf war. I don't know how they'd make a twist though.

It'll be based in the future on the moon. If I'm right every one who disagrees will owe me a cookie or lapdance

Bioshock 2 cant be an easy idea, atleast not with two alternative endings. That's like making an I Am Legend sequel (which WB thinks is a GREAT idea!)

Who says that the areas of Rapture in the game was all that there was? Other areas and other survivors might have made it out of Rapture. But I definately want to see outdoor exploration being possible and some type of Sub-mariner Plasmid.

Yeah I agree Lavat

After playing that game it would be rediculous to try to make a multiplayer out of it. If they did do that I couldn't imagine it being any good. This game was a single player experience(and a damn good one at that) and it should stay that way.

This game is way better off for single player, leave mutiplayer to games with weak story.

i think a prequel would be sweet, like normal people and then they start getting addicted to plasmas and then chaos

Hopefully you can do something in this one besides kill. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game. But all there is to really do is kill everyone you come in contact with. There are a variety of ways to do it, but in that environment there could be so much more besides combat. Part 2 should be a prequel and take place before the fall of Rapture. I'd like to see the main character be a cop that is tired of the corruption and starts to figure out what is coming. Then he tries to get he and his family out before Ryan locks the place down. And hopefully someone will turn on the lights this time.

That last guy obviously didn't play the hacking mini-games! Besides 99% of video games are just combat. I am pumped about the sequel!!!
