How many BioShock sequels would you like to own? When I posed this question to myself, I was surprised with the answer. I’ll consume as many BioShock titles as 2K are willing to throw at me. Even if the series loses its characteristic look and narrative grace.
I believe that is how most Star Wars movies fans think as well. I imagine they put on their crash helmets any time Lucas opens his mouth, but also welcome any new movie with open arms. The Star Wars vibe has always felt the same, even if the content is questionable.
Recently, 2K global president Christoph Hartmann told MCV that BioShock has the same franchise potential as Star Wars. He added that it is only possible if sequels stay true to the original game. From the interview:
For Bioshock, because it’s so story driven, the question obviously arises: how long can you do it without turning into The Matrix? The first Matrix was great, the second one was weird and the third one, you thought: ‘Who [making this] is on crack and who isn’t?’. “But, then again, look at Star Wars. It’s a fight between good and evil, just like Bioshock. If we spin it the right way and get the right twist of innovation, we can make six parts of it, as Star Wars did.
Hartmann then said, “But we have to be careful not to cash in.”

Poor guy is gonna need years of therapy.
At least they seem to be aware of what they're doing...I think. That sounds like UGO saying how they intend to keep 1up's staff's personality.
I am looking forward to Bioshock 4: Look Who's Splicing Now, though.

I enjoyed many parts of Bioshock but really it doesn't have lasting power to me unless they really shore up some of the weaker areas of the game and add a little more depth to it. Most of your RPG-like choices in Bioshock were either a lopsided choice (stealth), a required choice to explore all areas of the game without backtracking (lightning, fire, etc.), or just near meaningless (ammo crafting).
there needs to be an edit button
And don't you guys start with "Oh but Ep III is the best of the prequels!".
Ebola, Typhoid, Syphilis - pick the "Best".
let them first focus on the second then we will see if it will be worth another sequel etcetera...
A sequel was more than imminent, it was a certainty. When they saw how well BioShock was selling, it pretty much confirmed that there would be a sequel. It couldn't be ignored, even if we didn't want a sequel. It really wasn't up to the development team, but their owner, Take-Two. I'm pretty sure this has to do with them wanting another high profiule franchise other than GTA, and they realized that BioShock has that potential.
And you guys are being too negative. I hate seeing a great franchise becoming shit too, but if they can keep making them great even after five sequels, then I don't see a problem. This is how I view CoD (Developed by Infinity Ward, of course). As long as the games they put out are great, then I don't see the problem. Remember that they ARE A BUSINESS, and they want to make money.
Some people need to hush.
