BioShock 3 Announced

[Spawndemon]

IGN is reporting today that BioShock 3 has been officially announced. Here's what they had to say:

Speaking to investors in a quarterly financial conference call today, Take-Two Interactive chairman Strauss Zelnick confirmed that plans exist for a third BioShock game, which will likely coincide with the release of the Gore Verbinski-directed film version of the game franchise.

At the tail end of the call, when asked when Take-Two expects the Verbinski film to hit theatres, Zelnick responded, "Its unlikely the picture would be released coincident with BioShock 2. It's more likely it would be released coincident with BioShock 3."

It's been less than three months since Take-Two execs officially confirmed its plans for BioShock 2, which will be handled by the company's new 2K Marin studio. BioShock 2 is set for release in Q4 of Take-Two's fiscal year 2009.

No platforms for BioShock 3 were announced on today's conference call, and there was no mention of which studio will be involved with the project.

That's all the latest information as of right now. Be sure to check back later for more info!

Ok a second i can handle, but in my experience they are going to ruin the game. Bioshock was an incredible and one of the most atmospheric games i have ever played, to produce a second it needs to be spot on, but to announce a third when production on the second has only just started, to me it shows they are thinking way to far ahead and will get it very wrong.

Its a shame.

Hmmm interesting. Hopefuly it will turn out good, seeing as the first turned out to be marvellous.

It seems like it was a throw away remark that has been taken out of context to me...
