Be prepared to see more Bioshock in the future, a lot more.
Christoph Hartmann, the Global President of 2K had a recent interview with MCV in which he says there could be up to 5 more installments of Bioshock. Chris believes that the Bioshock story is just as strong as Star Wars.
If they can do it why not Us.
“Some of the mega-franchises we talk about only lasted ten years because companies took five years to ship a game. Look at Duke Nukem. It’s been a great franchise for 20 years, because it seems like it’s been in development for 20 years.
“For Bioshock, because it’s so story driven, the question obviously arises: how long can you do it without turning into The Matrix? The first Matrix was great, the second one was weird and the third one, you thought: ‘Who [making this] is on crack and who isn’t?’. “But, then again, look at Star Wars. It’s a fight between good and evil, just like Bioshock. If we spin it the right way and get the right twist of innovation, we can make six parts of it, as Star Wars did.
“But we have to be careful not to cash in. I won’t name the company, but there was a great racing game years ago. They brought it back year-on-year. If you look at the scores, it’s hard to believe what they’ve done to it. It’s upsetting, actually.”
There is no denying that Bioshock has a great story, but STAR WARS GREAT, that i don’t know about. He promises that they won’t use the title to cash in on us lowly homo sapiens. Well I hope if they do this it makes an already great franchise “Legendary.”
