Bioshock 2’s creative director Jordan Thomas has revealed that 2K Marin, the studio behind the game, are preparing for a fan backlash. Just what’s the problem with Bioshock 2?
Thomas told Destructoid that he knew from the start that Bioshock 2 would be controversial: “Since the early days, I’ve been candid with the team that no matter what we produced…a lot of people would disagree with our core creative choices.”
He continues: “I think Bioshock 2 will foster much more dissent than the first…we’re going to see some critics and fans who adore the particular ratio of nostalgia to novelty that we happened to choose…but others [will] crack open the backyard shed and gaze longingly at their favourite torches and pitchforks.”
Bioshock 2 is out tomorrow. Will a second bite at playing Big Daddy be worth the hassle? The game is set 10 years after the original Bioshock game and Thomas claims it is “a meaningfully weighty new story within the world of Rapture”. Are you itching to have a go or was one run around Rapture in Bioshock enough for you?
