Does anyone else want a Bioshock 3?

I can't be the only one. I mean, I'm stoked for Infinite, it looks great, but its not Bioshock. Rapture is Bioshock, not some sky city. Honestly, they could have dropped Bioshock from Infinite's title, or gone with its original codename, Icarus, and it would have fit perfectly. I remember Bioshock was confirmed to be a trilogy a few years back, but 2's slightly underwhelming sales might have skewered that plan. I sure hope not, I would be disappointed if Infinite was officially the third part of the "trilogy". Rapture is among the greatest gaming environments ever, it can't be abandoned without one last take.

I just finished Bioshock 2 which is why I'm bringing up this topic now, and oh my god, what an experience. People say there's nowhere for the series to go, and that it should have ended with the original. I highly disagree. Yes, Rapture in its decayed state has been pretty fleshed out, to that I agree, but why not make a game from a different perspective? There are so many things I'd like to see a third and final entry in the underwater utopia do. If they want to do something that would keep the environment from losing its luster, let us play as a citizen when the civil war erupts, while things turn to chaos in the city. Give us an open world Rapture with factions based under Fontaine, Andrew Ryan and maybe even Sophia Lamb. Allow us to to choose who to do missions for, ultimately affecting the game's ending. Who else agrees that they would like to see this? That there should be one more entry in the Rapture series from a fresh perspective? I can't be the only one who doesn't want to see Rapture abandoned. An open world version set during the chaos, not after would be incredible, don't you think?

No. I do not want a 3rd BioShock. I'm ready for a new environment and a new philosophical message. The original was great although it had flaws, but the second was flawed on some fundemental levels. One visit to a dilapidated claustrophobic underwater dystopia was enough for me. I'm ready for the Bright open environment of the sky and the jingoism and pride that follows it.

Im ready for them to put on thier scuba gear and get outa the water. Time for midair cities!rangegear

I would be interested in seeing a Bioshock game that dealt with the initial revolts and downfall of Rapture, but if it isn't about that I wouldn't care for it. There's really nothing left for a sequel that takes place after the first two. Hell, even the story in the second one was a stretch and really wasn't that great.

I'm not big on Bioshock 2, loved Bioshock 1, looking forward to Bioshock Infinite.

What this person said :)

I still need to finish the second one... but I got burnt when the game crashed on me and I had not saved in like 2 hours. Effort.

I'm assuming Bioshock Infinite is another Bioshock game.

Yes, i would definitely buy it if it comes out. I am a big fan of the series.

^Above is an excerpt taken from your topic, which made me think of Bioshock as a RPG, which in my mind, seems pretty cool. Fontaine, Ryan, Lamb,...paper, scissors, rock.

Yes, i want and will buy Bioshock Infinite when it's released, simply because i 'hope' that it will equal the awe and wonderment of Rapture, but in a stratospheric environment.

In all seriousnes though, i'm glad they have another setting for Bioshock. I loved the idea of Rapture and its background and history but imho, the second one was a little stale in terms of level design. And as far as i'm concerned, i'm perfectly happy for Bioshock to be a linear, story driven experience as opposed to an open world game. They seem to be all the rage now for some reason.

Bioshock Infinite is a prequel. It's set in 1912, this time in a city in the clouds called Columbia, rather than the underwater confines of Rapture. Bioshock Infinite Trailer #1 - 'Premiere Trailer' And enough with the "milking" comments. Just about every successful game has sequels, so this is nothing new. You want to talk about milking...Everyone does it, so who cares.DJ_Magneto

I would like to return to Rapture eventually. I'd rather wait till next gen though.

Same as above here, although I've not managed to get all the way through Bioshock 2 yet. Just hasn't gripped me as much as the first

i would like a bioshock 3 but perhaps a new settin would be better

I loved the first one, but the second one... not that much. I really don't care for a third.
