Bioshock II All But Confirmed Thanks To High Sales

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Plenty of people expected the game to tank. From top people at 1up to every other news outlet, we heard a lot about how “Bioshock is going to be great, but sell terribly,” or, “it just isn’t known by the right people to do well.”

Apparently news people don’t know everything.

Announced today in a press conference, and covered by Kotaku, Take-Two announced that it has sold over 1.5 million copies of their new IP. They also emphasized that they have the highest rated game ever for the 360 to date. Good news for a company whose numbers have been lagging….to put it nicely.

But why should you, dearest reader, care about how sales of Bioshock affect Take-Two? Because, in this day and age high sales mean sequels. Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick, in response to the sales numbers said, “Clearly, we have a new hit franchise on our hands.”

OMFG, BIOSHOCK II, CONFIRMED.

Shacknews and Ken Levine Spoil Bioshock

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Ken Levine’s Uber-Spoiler interview with Shacknews is up and running, for anyone who’s interested, which should be everyone with thumbs. Ken talks about (Spoiler), and (Spoiler), and the awesomeness that was (Spoiler). The cool thing about a game like Bioshock is that, if you know any of the story before hand, the whole thing is ruined. So, only read the interview if you’ve played through it one solid time. This could very well be the down swing of Bioshock posts, but I promise the game hasn’t lost any love with fans. Prepare yourself next month when you hear the phrase, over and over, “Halo 3 is great….but not as great as Bioshock.” Ouch. Burn.
