A few days ago 2K games announced a X-Com reboot, resulting in players worldwide dropping a tear or two. But that’s not all, according to Destructiod‘s mysterious sources, there is a BioShock MMO in the works. I’ll give you a minute to think about it.
Done? That was fast. Now, 2K have always shown interest in an MMO based on the universe created by Irrational Games(seriously, why did they have to give it up, BioShock 2 is just a slighty upgraded BioShock) and this may come as no surprise for hardcore fans. What’s your take on this? Would you play a BioShock MMO?
I can see the underlying systems translating into an MMO fairly easily. My worry would be the world it takes place in. I really think that MMO’s need a larger variety of places to explore and fight in than just what is in Bioshock. How they go about expanding that universe will make a huge difference in the game’s viability.

I’d far prefer a System Shock MMO….

Would love to see it. The underwater world could be unimaginably large. The oceans are huge and cities can be expanded into underwater mountains to infinite scales, after all, it is fantasy. Make a completely customizable character with making your own tonics, plasmids and steampunk weapons. Make campaigning and war among factions (guilds). I thing this could be expansive beyond imagination with a mad world undersea. As a fan I would love to see this happen
