Nary three months after theBioShock 2announcement, Take-Two Interactive chairman and talking head Strauss Zelnick casually mentioned to investors in a conference call thatBioShock 3is on its way.
Speaking about the recently-announced, Verbinksi-directedBioShockmovie, Zelnick said, “It’s more likely it would be released coincident withBioShock 3.” While I can’t necessarily blame Take-Two for trying to make some bank on an amazing IP, I have to admit that this is akin to a dagger in the kidney. No platform, release schedule, or studio was mentioned in the pseudo-announcement.
With a sure-to-be successfulPS3 port, a sequel, and a movie, Jack Ryan seems to be doing pretty well for himself. Itry(usually unsuccessfully) to stay out of the internet hivemind, but this time I’m just going dive right in: do not want.BioShock 2has considerablenarrative concernsof its own, and I can’t begin to imagine where a third game will lead. I tend to give developers the benefit of the doubt in most cases, but for the time being, I’maggressivelypessimistic aboutBioShock 3.
