Bioshock has No Multiplayer.

FPS without Multiplayer. Thats far worse than a frame by frame fighting game where accuracy and timing is king not having a MP. A few Rabid Lemmings are hyping it AAA but No AAA imo.

You clearly know nothing about the game. It's a FPS/RPG hybrid...

Have you played System Shock 2? No? Didn't think so. Go and play it and come back when you know what you're talking about.

While it could flop.  It won't.  You must not have read anything about the game.  Bioshock is an Oblivion-esque game that offers a full eco-system to interact with.  Basically an RPG with guns instead of swords.  The point of the game is to feel alone on Rapture...not to find parties of 40 other individuals and then frag each other to death...think...if you were on Rapture...almost dieing every 10 minutes...would you kill 40 other sane human beings?  Duh, no.

BioShock is an RPG from a FPS perspective.  It's impossible to put online.  Oblivion, anyone?

VF5 was a fighter - there's no reason it couldn't be online.

Gamespot disagrees with your stupid opinion.
someone, somewhere will complain that Metroid Prime has no multiplayer features. But we'll leave that for someone, somewhere to complain about, since it's hardly relevant.

9.7Metroid Prime
Strangely, Echoes has a multiplayer component with a handful of maps for up to four players, but it's unfortunately not up to the single-player game's quality and seems a little incongruous with the solitary, adventure-driven spirit of the Metroid series.

It's not hard to imagine that this competitive mode was shoehorned into the game due to the widely held expectation that all first-person games--and most GameCube games, for that matter--should have some kind of multiplayer, as it feels a little half-baked and out of place here. The good news is that Echoes doesn't suffer at all for having this mode (nobody's making you play it, after all), and it would be just as great an overall package if the multiplayer hadn't been included.Metroid Prime 2
There's no multiplayer mode to give the game long-term replay value, but the memory is going to stick, and that ought to count for something. In all seriousness, the absence of a multiplayer mode in The Chronicles of Riddick only bears mentioning because of the assumption that first-person-perspective games all ought to have both single-player and multiplayer features in them. Judged purely on its own merits, though, The Chronicles of Riddick offers a wholly satisfying single-player experience that concludes as memorably and as impressively as it begins. Furthermore, it leaves you wanting more not because it's short but because it's just so good.

Stop hoping potentially great games will flop people. If all games flopped that people wanted to, I wouldnt have any good games to play. I hope this game is as good as it has potential to be. It looks like an amazing game, not really a MP type game.

Really? What info have you been reading? Because all the info I've read gives special attention to the "emergent" gameplay, the moral decisions one makes on the backdrop of objectivist philosophy and the differing skills one can specialize in.

Metroid Prime got a great score on a system with low standards...

Now, Bioshock is on a system who has standards that are getting tougher, and tougher...I predict that the lemmings will play it safe just like the sheep with Sonic, and hype this A or AA...

I've waited ages for a sequel to System Shock 2, spiritual or no. I don't care what score it gets, I'm buying it. If it's even half as good as SS2, then it will be worth the cash in spades. Wasn't Bioshock originally supposed to be a Doom 3 full conversion mod/remake of SS2 before EA threw a litigation fit? After they released a huge list of all their intellectual properties just days before it was announced and System Shock wasn't on the list.

Read what the game is about before you make an opinion. Bioshock is first person RPG with guns. And its a survival horror game. Do you think Resident Evil or Final Fantasy are flops because they don't have multiplayer?

You could say any game without multiplayer "wasn't meant for it" because the developers didn't want to do it. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't have. BioShock has legitimate reason for not being online - it's heavy RPG elements. The game has wildly different skill sets you can specialize in to play the game. If someone focuses on engineering, he's going to get DESTROYED by players who focused on firepower and combat. VF5 has no legitimate reason. It's just a fighter.

A lack of online play would not have hurt Virtua Fighter as much if it had decent AI and better offline options to compensate.

It could flop in terms of not getting AAA, but it will be an amazing game none the less. Remember, System Shock 2 only got a 8.5

The new Cocodasilva/made Mam/Target Render/etc.?

Please, do the forum a favor and ban this dude. Anyone who posts a few hundred annoying posts in ONE day is too obnoxious even for a place like this. He posts hundreds of times a day without saying anything, without posting anything that hasn't been posted 1000 times already. Not one original thought, he's like a clog in this forum's drain.

Damage control? Why would we have damage control? YOu're the one starting whiny threads after YOUR game flopped. Oblivion got AAA. BioShock will get AAA.
