BioShock 3 setting

[GiantSpiderGoat]

Where do you think Bioschock 3 should be set. Personally I am bored of rapture and would like to see a changing world environment. Where plasmids and such things that are in Bioshock are revealed to the world. Where do you believe bioshock 3 should be set?

on the moon? (no joke)

 

[Colonel Mustard]

It's got to be Rapture; that's what Bioshock is all about. Bioshock without Rapture is like Half-Life without Gordon Freeman.

I mean, if you think about it, if number 3 will feature you playing as Eleanor, even then they're probably going to be some reason contrived to bring you back under the sea, isn't there?

 

[Exterminas]

Why call it Bioshock if it isn't set in Rapture? All you would get by introducing plasmids to the world would be a mix of doom 3, followed by a lot of fallout 3.

I think Rapture would still be a good place to look around, I'm sure that 2K have a few more locations they haven't shown us up their sleeves. Rapture is quite big. The more pressing question for me is this. What period in Raptures history do they set it?

Before the civil war/during the civil war, a few years after the events of Bioshock 2, just after Bioshock 2

Spoiler: Bioshock 2 ending spoilers

as a survivor of the part of the city that feel into the trench, I think it was Persephones? Haven't played in ages so I'm not sure.

or, looooooooooooong shot here, a few decades later after Rapture, if possible, has been rebuilt, repaired and has been repopulated again. Not sure how that last one would work though, just an idea.

Just a few ideas from the top of my head.

But to actually answer the question, take the Rapture out of Bioshock, then you'd lose half of the atmosphere and that is part if what makes the Bioshock games so good. So it will probably stay in Rapture.

It's in another underwater city.
You know, that one a few trenches down?

I joke, I joke. I'm a bit iffy on the whole Bioshock 3 idea. It'd be great but can they keep the story together?

 

[GiantSpiderGoat]

I love Bioshock and rapture. But I don't want them to just recycle the same places over and over again and I'm pretty sure they could make an awesome atmosphere fear for the world up top.

I believe some franchises should continue, but would like to see changes through out it and not just the same thing. I may be in the minority, but I like it when developers experiment.

If you're bored of Bioshock being set in Rapture......... then stop playing it. You may as well say you're bored of playing Assasin's Creed as an assasin. Personally I think Bioshock 3 should end with the destruction of Rapture, tying up all loose ends nicely.

None. There will be no Bioshock 3. What other character could you possibly play as?

a big sister? or a little sister if u really wanted to change things up. I don't think they should make another 1 though. It's always better to leave your audience wanting more than to overstay your welcome.

Please no Bioshock 3 D:

 

[ffs-dontcare]

I'm seeing a fair bit of defensiveness about Rapture here. Bioshock can be Bioshock without Rapture, if done right. Just as Half-life can be Half-life without Gordon Freeman, if done right. Half-life: Opposing Force easily proved this, and yes, while you still saw Freeman in Opposing Force, you only saw him in a mere handful of cameo appearances, each of which lasted only a few seconds.

Personally I don't care where Bioshock 3 is set, as long as the atmosphere is done properly. But the development team needs to be very competent about it.

 

[MostlyHarmless]

Bioshock. Bio, meaning life. Shock, meaning, well, a shock. It could be in another place other than Rapture, but Rapture is what people think of when they think of Bioshock. That and Big Daddies. However, if they make Bioshock 3 outside of Rapture and maybe on the surface, there will be no Big Daddies or Little Sisters or Big Sisters. I think they'll stick to Rapture i they make another game.

 

[Cherry Cola]

You know what would be awesome? If the evil ending from Bioshock 1 was canonical, and the good ending from Bioshock 2 was canonical. Eleanor realizes that Jack from the first game has been causing chaos up on the surface with his very own Splicer army and a bunch of submarines equipped with nuclear weapons.

He's built himself his very own Rapture city, that stretches from the bottom of the ocean up to the surface and beyond, and Eleanor must defeat him by herself to save the planet from his madness.

Since the first and second game explored both Anarchy and Communism, how about we have Jack be a fascist? He rules his empire with an iron fist, and his splicers are more dedicated than ever. He's built himself loads of Big Daddies that work independently without Little Sisters, as instead they hold both functions of collecting and storing ADAM, as well as protecting it.

Plasmids are more powerful, enemies are more diverse, and the story is, to me at least, very interesting

 

[matnatz]

Being the third in the series it would only make sense for it to be set in the old west.

 

[Legion]

It has to be in Rapture because that's where all the atmosphere derives from. Take away the glass walls with the ocean in view and the Big Daddies having Tea Parties with the Little Sisters and you take away a huge part of what makes the game unique.

Take the graphical engine, and use it to rewrite System Shock 2, event for event, mechanic for mechanic, story for story. Do not change a single thing, only upgrade the graphics.

When I first played System Shock 2 about a week or so I would have agreed with you, now I don't feel that it would be necessary for any other reason than to allow players without the good fortune of being able to get it working on a new PC a chance.

Eleanor Lamb of course.

Spoiler: Spoilers for both Bioshock 1 and 2

An interesting idea for sure.

Huh, thats wierd, I was just thinking about Back to the Future 3 when I read this. (I was playing Red Dead Redemption before and was thinking how funny and awesome it would be to have Marty McFly as a stranger quest)

 

[ffs-dontcare]

Snip!

I'm an open-minded person by nature. I believe it is possible to make a good Bioshock game set somewhere other than Rapture if a very competent development team is assigned to the task. Infer from that what you will.
