as long as it has real NPC interaction and not just mindless enemies to butcher. That was seriously lacking in Bioshock.

I heard somewhere that the movie is supposed to coincide with Bioshock 3, but that seems like 2k is getting a little ahead of themselves

i'd like the second one to be set in the civil war of rapture between fontaine and ryan and i know it may sound a bit cheesy but being able to choose your side. i mean like being one of fontaines goons and raiding one of the ryan co. warehouses or being a soldier of ryan and like being able to ambush a goup of fontaines men. personally i think it'd break up the linearity that the original bioshock had going for it. though i didnt really see it as a bad thing. its like a game that wants to be open world but just cant make that last push.

I think the Bioshock movie would have to do a prequel, so that the sequel is left up to Bioshock 2. I think the hardest thing for them to do will be to keep the same atmosphere that the first Bioshock had. Everything was so creepy and yet artistic at the same time. I don't know what to think of the movie. It's impossible to capture everything that the game had, like the choices of whether to let the Little Sisters live or not. A movie set in the same time could work, and it would be cool to see Jack going toe-to-toe with a Big Daddy in real time, but everything would have to be cut drastically short to allot to the max 3 hours that most movies run.

I'm starting to think the sequel game should be something like Fallout 3, an open-world adventure that takes place as Rapture is crumbling. That would be quite interesting; I'd definitely buy that. Just my thoughts.

Kyouger.

Personally I think that Bioshock doesn't need a movie, because they'll just find a way to mess it up, like they do with ALL video-game based movies. And second, I really don't know where they could go with the sequel.

BioShock could be really interesting movie in that the story behind it is deeper and more interesting than the vast majority of them these days. I only worry that they have insufficient budget to pull off the amount of effects that movie would need.

As for BioShock 2, I agree that a prequel would be interesting. There has been quite a bit of rumors floating around along those lines, but I'm not sure if there was any official confirmation yet.

the thing you are missing about Bioshock, is that it wasnt about the other characters, it was about YOU, the protaganist.

Oh.....Well, that gives me a little bit more hope for it.

But not much.

Hey at least it's not Uwe Boll

EDIT: Correction it is Gore Verbinski who will be directing the movie, he did the first pirates of the Caribbean i.e the good one and several other stellar movies

By the sound of things, if this director screws up, there will be an 'Atlas Shrugged" style revolution. Ain't that ironic...

You couldn't do a pre-Bioshock game. What would you do? The game is perfect the way it is. I don't want it to suffer from "George Lucas Syndrom" and have a sucky prequel. As for the movie, I don't think you could do much with that either. It's not really movie material. The choices in it are too personal. The game has two endings for a reason.

Give the developers some credit, Radelaide. It could very well be that we haven't seen anything, yet, and the prequel (assuming Bioshock 2 is a prequel) will actually make the universe make more sense instead of less.

I think Bioshock 2 should be set in Rapture again. Before you say this is stupid here me out. In Bioshock Rapture is gone to hell as you progress you do a lot of damge to the place but you never see the consequences. Bioshock two could be about how the city has been torn apart. In Bioshock the city, while decaying, was mostly intact, aside from a plane landing on it. What with all the stuff which Jack destroyed, it could have caused some irrepairable damage. Maybe you start as one of the few 'sane' people left
(working for Tenanbaum?)
. You could try to escape before the city is destroyed or collapse the city to stop the splicers from getting to the surface.

I think that could be one route to go. (Probably not the best)

I think they should pull a 'Final fantasy' with bioshock and just make a new setting with similar themes and gameplay i.e systemshock > bioshock > ----shock

The story of rapture was resolved in bioshock without much room for a sequel.

As for the bioshock movie I have no faith it will be good for the same reason a majority of game to movie adaptations fail. The writer/director will not like the story, or wants people to be surprised by it instead of knowing what happens so they'll create a new story only the names and places might be the same, throw in a love story, remove the little sisters (zomg we can't have a movie ware a little girl is put in harms way) so all thats left is a movie that takes place in an underwater city

That's pretty much where the speculation is about BioShock 2 - people are thinking it'll probably be about how Rapture fell before the protagonist arrived.
So basically it'll be about Fontaine moving in and undermining this utopian society despite the best efforts of its founder.
This is speculation, of course. We're not entirely sure what they're going to do with BioShock 2 yet.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Even though the game was set post collapse, the story was set up pre-collapse during the fall, they could easily show everyone going insane.
