At that point we had already started incorporating with Digital Extremes on BioShock PS3. So we knew we had to find a dedicated team to make sure that the multiplayer was the best and most BioShock-y it could be. Miller explained, We knew it was a perception that adding multiplayer somehow diluted the focus to the detriment of single-player. Today is exciting for us because we're showing the entire BioShock 2 experience."Īs for the thinking behind drafting in another developer to do the multiplayer. We've only been talking about single-player. Arguably even more excited than the default "really" mode was 2K Marin senior producer, Melissa Miller, who beamed, "We've only been talking about half the game. That multiplayer mode was unveiled at E3 in a booth decked out to look like the innards of Rapture, and those involved were - in common with every single American in the games industry -"really excited". In fact rather than do it themselves, 2K have gone to the professionals, roping in genre specialists Digital Extremes, who have honed the multiplayer experience over the past decade, primarily with the Unreal and Unreal Tournament series. Those churlish gripes should be quashed later this year when BioShock 2 rocks up featuring not only a fully-fledged single-player sequel, but a brand new multiplayer mode.
While 2007's BioShock was showered with nearuniversal praise - picking up no less than 50 Game of the Year awards - a small minority of miseries half-heartedly grumbled about there being no multiplayer mode.
