Take-Two announces Bioshock 3...just three months after announcing Bioshock 2
Clockwork \| 8:41 PM on 06.05.2008	13 comments

According to an article at IGN, at a recent financial conference, Take-Two's chairman Strauss Zelnick states that there are already plans for Bioshock 3...before there has been any info or content released for Bioshock 2.

Furthermore, Zelnick stated that the 3rd game in the series would be released alongside the movie based on the franchise directed by Pirates of the Carribean director, Gore Verbinski.

Just under three months ago, Take-Two had formally announced Bioshock 2 which would be released in Q4 of 2009.

That's a long ways away. Now if I do the math right, Bioshock came out in August of 2007. So there would be about 2 years in between the original and the sequel. If we project the same amount of time in between Bioshock 2 and 3, we should expect to see some screenshots around the time of the Mayan predicted apocolypse.

I'm actually excited to hear news about the Bioshock movie because it sounds like it has got some heavy hitters backing the project. Nontheless, I'm prepared to be dissapoitned because well...I'd rather not talk about movie based games.

Your thoughts?

I wonder if any of the people involved int he bioshock movie ever played the game. I don't mean sat down and spent a couple hours with it, I mean actually experienced it for what it was.

If there was anything good about the pirates movies, it wasn't the direction.

Fucking money grubbing cunts. They're whoring out the franchise, and the only reason is money.

I'm announcing Bioshock 4 right now. Take that Take-Two.

I'd say just ignore it and hope for the best. Nothing can change what the first game was, so if the sequels fail, we can just forget about them and move on. Whoring is a somewhat vital part of the gaming industry, and we can't rule out there is an off chance these sequels will be good games.

Let's wait and see how the second one turns out before we even think about the third. I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here.

the more successful series take two has the more valuable the company is the more difficult or expensive it will be for EA to take over the company, now if they would just make max payne 3

it's all up a paddle with no creek. you can't make a game that was originally an alone title and turn it into a trilogy, expecting it to be as good as its predecessor. movie should be interesting though.

It should be a requirement for anyone in the movie to able to finish the game...

the first question on the intake-interviews could be "What's the difference between atlas and fontaine?" :-)
