Interesting. Someone commented that 2K Marin was just recently formed by several ex-Bioshock staff. So there are many from the original team there.

This game is a long ways away, I understand the strategy of announcing it early to increase Take Two's value, due to the recent attempt by EA to take over. But yeah it's a long time before the release.

Awesome, even tho it is by another team, I actually like that because this will allow the game to expand, but hopefully stay faithful to the first game. I also like this because we still get games from the Bioshock universe and then we get to see what Ken Lavine (Or however you spell his name) and his team do next. This is what I wish bungie would have done because I don't think anyone could mess it up and maybe they would have took more chances, but I don't mean to say Halo is a bad game or frachise, it just would have been cooler for them to take more chances. But today, its getting rarer and rarer for companies to take chances because most don't succeed, you need to sell platnum for games to do well now, and if you don't, you end up like Atari (who I hope don't ever go away).

The staff will largely be the same. Here's the annoucement of the new 2K Marin studio. [QUOTE="2K Marin announcement"] 2K Games owner Take-Two Interactive has officially announced the creation of 2K Marin, a new development studio located at 2K's new headquarters in Novato, California. Said to be creating original intellectual properties as well as assisting with other 2K projects, 2K Marin is reported to be made up of some ex-BioShock (PC, X360) staff. BioShock was developed at 2K's studios in Australia and Boston, a tag-team formerly known as Irrational Games. "We're focused on continuing to bring new brands and cutting-edge gameplay to market with the creation of the 2K Marin studio," said 2K president Christoph Hartmann. "2K Marin will build upon our success in creating and leveraging AAA franchises."

So it will basically be the same team involved.

I don't think it will be but still it has potential to be a true sequel and I doubt they'll make this game carelessly.

NO! i never wanted them to make a sequel to bioshock!! now it's just going to be lofted off as another money making video game franchise and nothing more! honestly i don't want a sequel. it will just cheapen how unique and special the original realy was. if they had left it how it was then it would make it so much easyer to appreciate it, rather then just tossing it aside becuase there is a new version out...

Im pretty sure this will be a prequel (if it already wasnt annouced as one) because theres not much to do after the story of bioshock. Also a story about how rapture was developed would be really interesting.

well im never gonna play bioshock again anyway, so i hope they dont dissapoint with the sequel

i agree with striffe that i highly doubt they wouldnt put much work into this game with the hype surrounding it and high expectations

i hope they don't screw it over and I sure hope it isn't as overhyped as Bioshock was. first thing that needs to go would be the Vita Chamber gimmick. they'd have to do a lot to get me to want this game more as I personally thought that Bioshock was pretty overrated (still great, but the hype/fun ratio didn't sit in right).
