Sounds very dodgy that they have another studio added to make levels at this late a stage. Or is it for DLC content..... doesnt sound good regardless.

All this time and effort on a game which looks like total shit. What a waste.

Considering my PS3 copy of Bioshock lists at least 5 different studios in the unskippable opening credits (almost all 2K, but also Digital Extremes if memory serves) it seems like standard fare for them.
Even with all these people, it was still technically inferior to the X360 version :-( But still a good game :-) Not 10/10, though. Not yet decided whether to get the challenge rooms or not. The 80-something % of trophies count is getting on my nerves, though ;-) |

nothing good was ever designed by committee so i hope theyre not all going to make this game a confused mess
plus im still worried about digital extremes involvement, because they made lame games like pariah and dark sector which are hardly bioshock 2 standard..? |

Sounds to me like 2K is desperate to have this game out this year, for some reason. Bioshock 1 was so successful in part because it came out before the Christmas rush. This is arriving smack dab in the middle of it, a week before Modern Warfare 2.
This won't end well. |

Outsourced MP = shit
I knew MP was a bad idea for bioshock. In fairness, I think most of us who loved the original knew. |

Don't see the problem, Arkane is a proficient developer. Dark Messiah of Might & Magic was pretty atmospheric, I'd trust these guys to deliver.
I remember they dropped their weird urban combat multi-single-player project recently to work on another, more established IP. Most people speculated it was DMM&M 2 - well, perhaps it was Bioshock 2 that they meant instead. Which would suck a little bit as they'd given a rather nice twist to that boring, generic fantasy series. |

I'm rather worried about this game: it seems like blatant fan service, more about "ZOMG that'd be so cool let's put it in," less story and plot. I'm worried about this game, and the fact that Ken Levine isn't heading the project was the first red flag, all that time ago.

I dont have any issues another team "Company" doing multiplayer, afterall, they will be using all the same assets etc, levels, and just making sure it works.. so actually thats ok. Its just the comment that they have another team in doing levels, guess the question is, is that MP levels, DLC or game levels. If it was game levels, then that would be worrying as the game is out in a few months.

@cobaltfram: it's not fan service at all, every fan I've spoken to has said they'd have much prefered a prequel.
