BioShock 2 Has Multiplayer.

99% of games on the market today have multiplayer. Bioshock, however, did not. It was geared towards a singleplayer experience. But the sequel? It'll have multiplayer.

At least, it will according to the latest issue of Game Informer. Problem is, the mag's big story on the BioShock sequel only says it will feature multiplayer. It doesn't say what kind of multiplayer. So while earlier rumours suggested co-op play would make an entrance in the series, in the absence of any real details you can speculate there'll be plasmid-fuelled deathmatches and nobody can say you're wrong.

Yet.

That's very unfortunate. BioShock never needed multiplayer.creeping-deth87

The SEQUEL is made by a different TEAM, they can do whatever the heck they want to the game...but I am worried.

I loved Bioshock and I just am worried, is all. Remember I said this with Bioshock being a multiplat game, this isn't a fanboy comment, it's a legitimate concern for a franchise I love.

Let me be also clear about something else :

Bioshock never needed Multiplayer to be awesome, and Bio 2 doesn't need it either. I would rather these guys focas on the CORE of the game.

I wonder if they'ld follow CAPCOM and charge for it.

Multiplayer is not a bad thing at all. But I kinda don't see the point really. Dosen't seem like something to put that money to.

This game is going to flunk so badly.

Bioshock has officially sold out...to the ADD generation.hiphops_savior

Wow, talk about unneeded, unwanted, and inappropriate.

Looks like the developers took all the reviewers complaint of lack of multiplayer to heart. But in a Generation where fps's are almost required to have a multiplayer component to score and sell well who can really blame them?

Lets just hope it isn't tacked on or takes away from the sp campaign

Why are so many of you dismissing the multiplayer aspect so soon?? For all we know it could be amazing. Of course that also means the multi could fall flat... But why be doom and gloom when we can be cautiously optimistic? ;)musicalmac

Because as an FPS bioshock delivered for me and many people on all fronts, i've played through it at least 10 times, (PS3 and 360) the thing is why does the developer need to fold over to meet the needs of whining masses, when they could easily be spending the time, money and innovation on an even better SP expierience.Animal-Mother

Some games, just can't do multiplayer. This is a prime example of one of them. BTW rehash FTL! bioshock was good, and that's it.

Ken Levine said a really smart thing when people were complaining about no multiplayer in BioShock. He said that he thought it was a waste to try and spend time and funds into a multiplayer mode that will just get washed along the wide stream of multiplayer games. I had hoped the same logic would stay true for BioShock 2, but I guess not.NAPK1NS

Well that's just stupid. MP in a Bioshock game is unnecessary.Floppy_Jim

I hope, hope, hope, that this does not degrade the SP.SpruceCaboose

as long as its done well i dont see the problem. but surely thats the same for every game

The first game was so story driven that I couldn't put it down (like a good book). But I doubt they can duplicate that experience in the sequel. I will be very disappointed if they sacrifice good writing for "bigger, better, and more". Co-op would have defeated the purpose of what Bioshock was all about. I will be suprised if they can make another Bioshock and keep the originality.

It's not the MP announcement which makes me think the spirit won't be there, (Though it helps) its more of the question where are they going to go with the story, because what I've read so far seems to stray from what made BioShock great into the realm of what can we throw in to make the fans happy, even if it doesn't mesh with the meanings expressed by the first game.
