Final word on Bioshock: it's single-player |
Ó
Take a deep breath guys. You could potentially end up choking on a lot of seawater after hearing this. Elizabeth of 2K Games has posted a full Q&A entry on their site to answer some of the more popular questions surrounding Bioshock (for the PC and 360). The most interesting tidbit down the list is:
Will there be multiplayer or online gaming in BioShock?
There will be no multiplayer (hold on before you complain!!!!) but for a very specific reason. BioShock features a compelling storyline that revolves around the experiences of one man as he enters the decaying world of Rapture. Having a multiplayer component would have compromised the story we were trying to tell so we made the decision to keep this game as a single player experience. There will be an online component, however, where new content can be downloaded.
O snap. That settles it then. No multiplayer. But when you think about it, is this really going to be its downfall? We're sure can deal with a bit of saltwater spray. Things aren't necessarily hitting rock bottom (of the ocean), really. Take a quick look around you. There are a couple of FPS-TPS games out there that give you a solid single-player experience.
Besides. The story's set with you being all alone deep beneath the waves in an underwater ghost town. The last time we checked, ghost towns (on land or otherwise) tend to be devoid of lifeforms - aliens, demons, mutants excluded - aside from yourself. Do you think Silent Hill could have been played in multiplayer? Thought so.
Cheer up. There's still online content lined up. That's good enough for us to take the plunge. Meanwhile, there's more the Q&A is right after the "Read" link.

I really wasn't expecting this game to have multiplayer. Just because the game is played from a first person perspective does not mean it needs some sort of online deathmatch or coop.
Look at RE4, Chronicles of Rid*****, Dues ex and a bunch of other games. It doesn't need it.
Its a flop no need to buy rent people
Its a flop? Dont be a retard.
Id rather play a well thought out single player game with no multiplayer than a rushed single player with a tacked on multiplayer that will be absolutely crap. This game looks awesome because i like single player adventure/FPS type games if you dont like that kind of game then stop posting ***** and move on.
it's a flop? what are you on about?
This is one of the most anticipated games of 2007!
Just because there's no multiplayer does not mean it's a flop, a lot of gamers enjoy single player games and some of the best selling games for the 360 are actually single-player games, Dead Rising for example
Just because you spend all your waking hours pwning people on GoW doesn't mean everyone else does, lot's of us like playing with ourselves ;)
Gonna buy it!
Playing with ourselves FTW!
Dont you see !! he dont have a 360 or GOW,he is a PS3 owner (proberly one of the regulars using a different name) This game is looking like another big hit for the 360.
