BioShock 2 getting multiplayer |
Ó
Here's your good news for the day. Seems BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams (Xbox 360, PS3) will get what was sorely lacking in the first game. According to a recently found job listings, the BioShock team is looking for a team who will be responsible for multiplayer gameplay
Leading multiple engineers within a proven team to design and build a network frontend and backend support for an action-packed AAA multiplayer title
- Advising engineers on how to properly architect their systems for optimal multiplayer support
- Extending and enhancing Unreal Engine 3 with proprietary networking tech to address gameplay, performance, platform, production, tools, and QA needs
- Interfacing with Microsoft, Sony, and other providers for matching-making and other services
- Working with the Technical Director, Lead Programmer, and IT Director to plan and execute major changes to core technology or backend services
- Responsible for delivering a robust, scalable, and responsive multiplayer gameplay code and backend services for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms
The BioShock team is betting big on multiplayer and plans to stay at the top of the charts– we’re careful about the problems we tackle, innovative in our approach, solid in our implementation, and we polish the heck out of everything we do. Right now we’re looking for an exceptional individual to direct the development of this multiplayer experience through a combination of leadership, design, coding, and daily problem solving on the gameplay networking and backend server components.
Looks like the Official PlayStation Magazine UK was right when it posted the rumor last year. All I can say is the same thing I said when I heard the rumor. Well, finally.

What can I say? It's from the guys who made BioShock 1. Really, it's gonna be awesome.
Multiplayer be more exciting!
Shocking +D
i just hope they dont sacrifice a good solid single player just to have multiplayer
will be interesting what modes it will have, capture the little sister?
I actually wish there wasn't multiplayer, Bioshock should be a game full of atmosphere . I think if multiplayer is in the new game it would take away from those moments that made the first game great and leave it with a more shallow experience.
I for one definitly see where you're coming from, they are obviously a talented team, so lets hope they get through this without affecting the single player too much..
I really hope they can pull this off while keeping the game as amazing as the first.
usually with stuff like this, they tend to tack on the multiplayer while taking away time from the singleplayer to do it, and both end up being bad. hopefully the bioshock team can do better
Awsome!! I just hope the multiplayer co op or frag fests is just right :)
capture the little sister.... wow, just wow...
Now me and my friend are gonna kill each other to see who gets to capture those little sisters. I honestly don't see how this could be bad. The only wish I had with the first game was a New Game+ other than that the game was okay hyped but okay.
"capture the Lil' Sister"
OMG... f'n brilliant. "\('o')/" ....
I'd also like to echo this... CUZ ITS REALLY IMPORTANT !!!!
