    The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months

    I really don’t trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn’t just kneecap the writing because it wouldn’t appeal to as many people as possible.

      It’s TakeTwo - you know they did. Bioshock was a complete arc and died with Irrational. Whatever this zombie project is, I expect it won’t live up to the name, but they’ll slap it on anyway because goshdarnit executives just can’t help milking a franchise dry instead of innovating.

        Not saying you’re wrong but I do feel like there’s still so much of the universe to explore, even if the main arc is complete. I would love to learn more about Rapture

          With the right team willing to take risks, I agree. There’s still so much it could explore. I doubt this is that though.

      Yeah, especially with today’s political climate. If the other BioShock games came out today they would be labeled anti-american and woke.

        To be fair, they are largely anti-american and woke, but in a good way. Woke is good, and America has some fucking issues. If you’re choosing to be not woke or actively pro-america, then you might be doing something wrong.
