I've just finished playing through Bioshock 2 for the twelftyieth time and I have to say it's over. One of the really obvious things that indicate this is the fact that in bioshock 1 you see the city as you descend down to it at the begining but in Bioshock 2 you see it in ruinss as you leave.
I hope it's over Minervas den gave it a good enough ending and I would hate to see them go on and spoil it and what ending would people find satisfactor? the entire city blowing up? it being eaten by a giant squid? It was brilliant and still is but it's like squezzing an orange at first you get these lovley juices coming out then some pips start to fall in but thise are easy to pick out, evantualy you can squeeze it all you want but all your going to get are a few buits of mangled fleash.
LONG LIVE RAPTURE (but lets leave her now)
Well bioshock 1 started right after ALL of the ☺☺☺☺ had hit the fan, and judging by the audio diaries, the DESCENT into Bioshock 1 was an extremely rich story that I think needs telling. My idea, actually inspired by the Bioshock 2 multiplayer was this:
How about a story set in rapture as it starts to fall into political turmoil, when the Fontaine/Ryan war starting to spark and Ryan industries starts the Protector project and all that. Then YOUR character is... get this... a quiet little housewife, whose husband has secured a humble little career in Ryan's government, but due to his own revolutionary attitude, went missing like Grace Holloway's husband, and your character goes down the rabbit hole to get him back and ends up getting tangled up in the splicer mess like you did in Bioshock 1. I think it would be cool to see a shy stepford-wife kinda female character succumb to the brutality of the rapture civil war, and evolve with it. They would probably make it really emotional too.
Just my idea :P
I really hope we do get another game in Rapture but I'm not holding my breath...
Just the mere fact that BioShock is moving to Columbia means that there's probably not going to be a revisit to Rapture.
I hope there will be a fallout 3 style bioshock game with the abillity to explore as much as you want and to have a house
As posters above said BS1 looks like an ending of the Story, but BS2 left feeling that something wasn't said. I can see another Bioshock game in Rapture, not sure 2K see it though.Rapture needs it's conclusion and redemption.
P.s. Why just not show Rapture on it's peak through protagonist's memories?
how about we start a petition for another rapture game so if we get enough people they will have to make one
There probably won't be any going back my friends. If anything they'll probably continue the story with Columbia. But Rapture.... now...... is just a lost ship at sea
=D I came up with a similar idea when I was thinking of where Rapture's story could go. But with mine it was a young women who goes to Rapture for her artistic talent and brings her young sister with her. Who then gets taken for the little sister program and she decides to go detective and look for all the missing people.
I would like to play as a Little Sister again. Or as Eleanor before or after becoming a Little Sister and meeting Subject Delta. I love the Little Sisters and playing as one
Hope so for me Bioshock was Rapture and without its just another generic first person shooter with Singularity-like enhancements like the so called "plasmids" that we saw in the Infinite trailer, just my opinion.
I don't think it's over just yet. I'm pretty sure they'll make another one of either destroying the city or rebuilding it. Just my opinion though.
It's over. Levine isn't the kind of guy to keep doing the same thing over and over again. and just like with rapture, after infinite he's going to want to move on from Columbia. heck, he didn't even have anything to do with BS2. they just kind of put it out as a quick sequel. used the same engine, models and technology. they just made a couple new character models, wrote a new story, and made some new maps. if they weren't willing to invest any more then, they surely wont be any more willing now, or later.

You never know man Levine might just surprise us with the end to Rapture.
i am playing through the Bioshock games again to get ready for the novel and I will agree with the majority in saying that I would love another Rapture-based Bioshock game. My long-held dream is a Fallout-style single player RPG set in Rapture prior to the civil war. But I would also love to see, another game set after Bioshock 2 created by 2k Marin. After playing through the two games again, it really has brought home how much superior Bioshock 2 was.
anything's possible, but he just doesn't strike me as that type. he's more about change and pushing boundaries than sticking with tried and true formulas. not to mentions, sales dropped off quite a bit from BS to BS2, so there isn't as strong as a financial motive for another either.
this is what i want too,so badly.
oh and if another game was made in rapture the mp better be alot better if they ass one
I surely hope we get a new game, since Infinite does nothing for me.
Okay your just blowing smoke out of your ass there was not huge conflict in rapture between the time it was created and 1958 because the developers would have mentioned it. And besides creating a conflict in that time period would just be jumping the shark. And like Cambullo said it wouldn't make a good game.
Well then your whistling dixie...
There was conflict through out Rapture... it just rose to a head in 1958.
i hope they would make a bioshock mmo
There's the Bioshock game Ken is working on for the new PSP- that might be in Rapture, but he's clearly said that it is it's own thing from the ground up.
We will just have to see if sales of Infinite doesn't cause it to fall from the sky. If it does poorly and the game is poor maybe then the devs will give us another game in Rapture, presumably before we start rioting in the streets.
Rioter 1: "Death to Infinite!"
Rioter 2: "Long Live Rapture!"
I don't think a Infinite has to fail for us to get more Rapture. Either the devs think there is more story there, or they don't. I'm pretty sure that 2k and Irrational trust the Bioshock creators at this point...
I agree whatever happens is for the best.
BioShock 4 should take place from the perspective of a ADAM sea slug named Socrates as you try to rescue your other sea slug friends after being captured by Rapture scientists. The gameplay will be that of a platform/RPG, you'll explore the depths of the sea, avoid hot thermal vents and dangerous creatures of the deep eventually making it into Rapture and killing all who stand in your way by employing traps. There will be a plot twist, where you'll be implanted into a Little Sister where you'll then use a mind control plasmid to play as her for a duration of the game. Then you'll finally rip yourself out of her cervix to freedom to continue your adventure.
If you think my idea is stupid, it's a lot more original than all of your generic ''Prequel/Return to Rapture'' ideas.
As opposed to a "Concurrently in Rapture" idea?
Any sequel based in Rapture would be a treat, but I seriously doubt we'll see one with Infinite on the horizon. Personally I'd love to venture into Rapture for one last time, but with all the influential characters either dead or back on the surface, like Atlas said, they couldn't "force" a decent storyline out for another game. Perhaps a DLC with Tenenbaum returning to Rapture would suffice as a proper ending? It's a shame that they gave up on the game so shortly after it's release.

Hi all. Didn't Ken say recently that returning to Rapture is not on the cards?
dont get me wrong I'd love to revisit that glorious city, I just coulda sworn I heard him say that recently...
It's not in the cards for Ken or Irrational. Doesn't mean that one of the other studios owned by 2K (who owns the IP, not Ken) couldn't do a game in Rapture. Chances of that though? Eh, we shall have to see.
like I said before, sales from bs1 to bs2 dropped about 25-30%. that in and of itself probably guaranteed there won't be another game set in rapture. if the second had outsold the first, then they probably would have let another studio do another installment. but as it ended up (sales wise) I would be very shocked to see them willing to invest the money in a new game. especially since they wouldn't simply be able to use the same engine and technology like they did with BS2.
unfortunately, I think the only chance of going back to rapture would be if infinite literally bombs and 2k wants to try and save the franchise with another game set in rapture.
Well after reading the book it says no HUGE conflict happened in Rapture in that time period i guess they could make a thing were your a constable (Rapture police) and they did have a bunch of raids that went on to try to get into Fontiane futuristics and were ambushed by splicers a lot but i mean there would be no plasmids Andrew Ryan made it just about illegal for anyone that worked for the Rapture council to take plasmids so they could do that there would just be no plasmids... and Bioshock really isn't Bioshock without some sort of fire coming out of your hands
I never said there was HUGE conflict I just said there was conflict. Conflict everywhere, between smugglers taking trips to the surface and potentially leaking the location of Rapture, to the two tier society of Adam cravers and Adam hoarders, to the market for ADAM drying up the economy and people losing their lively hood while the rich were able to continue living the high life.
Yea but the point is it would have to be a HUGE conflict in order for them to expand on it and create a game and a good one at that.
There doesn't have to be a HUGE conflict. When jack goes through Rapture the civil war is practically over and it's one man against Rapture. I wouldn't say that one man is a HUGE conflict.
indeed. Besides you never know if Levine decides to revisit Rapture through Bioshock Infinite. Anyone remember Elizabeth opening that tear into the 1980's? We could probably see her open up a tear into Rapture. Idk if they would do that but I know in someway that they will reference Rapture in Infinite seeing as how the game is set in the Bioshock universe.
I had a dream there was a Bioshock RPG, It was set up like this- The main menu will have 3 choices for "New Life" *New game is too used up* They will be "Rapture prime", "Rapture fall*, & "Rapture ruined". Prime is when the city was nice, Fall is when it was falling *BS2 MP & BS1 settings* Ruined is Lamb "BS2 settings* After chosing you will make your person & Live in a Open World Rapture, There would be main missions & sub missions such as- "Daddy's work is never done", "Watch dog", & MUCH, MUCH more! Now completion of these will give you money for clothes, guns, ect. You can explore all over! Go to Cohen's show, or play in arcaida! Jobs such as working at Fontain Futurirists or doing work for leaders will be available too. Im still working on it but what do you guys think?
Bioshock Infinite can not reference Rapture as it is set 40 years before it. As for BloodnGlory's idea, it sounds complex but great, if I could say one thing is that it would be better if there was some crossover, for instance if you could see rapture gradually fall to ruin around you. then again it would also eliminate the point of choosing what era. Maybe a moral choice system.
