New BioShock Game Allegedly in Development
BioShock is like mom's home-cooked meals. You might remember how great they were, but you've certainly forgotten how good they tasted. It's hard to blame anyone given that the last BioShock game was released almost five years ago. And to make matters even worse, the last installment (BioShock Infinite) wasn't even a sequel or a prequel to the previous BioShock 2 game. But fear not, Big Daddy is making his comeback. Kotaku's lengthy article on Hangar 13 revealed that a secret BioShock title, codenamed 'Parkside', is under development. According to Kotaku's report:

A year and a half later, however, Hangar 13 is a far different place. This past year was a turbulent time for the studio, as it floundered while trying to figure out what its next game would be. Many of the people who helped make Mafia III are now gone, including the game's art director, technical art director, senior producers, design director, many design leads, and a number of other key staff. Some left voluntarily; others were let go or asked to move. Some went to other game companies; others moved to the top-secret studio next door to work on an unannounced new BioShock game.
In the midst of all this confusion, some employees of Hangar 13 couldn't help but look with envy at their neighbors. Next door, a small group of people were working on a project code-named Parkside, quietly recruiting from across the video game industry for a game so secret, they wouldn't even tell their colleagues at Hangar 13 about it. Word got out, though, that it was in fact a new game in one of the most interesting shooter franchises of the past decade: BioShock.Now that Ken Levine, the creator of BioShock series, is no longer behind the helm, it's going to be interested to see the story and direction of the upcoming BioShock title. The top-secret 2K studio that is allegedly working on the game is located next to the Hangar 13 studio in Novato, California. If you so happen to live in Novato, would you mind going down to the studio and ask them if the rumor is true?
"If anyone from Hangar 13 tried to strike up a conversation with them, they'd say, 'Oh, we can't really talk about it,'" said one person familiar with the studio. "It was all very tight-lipped."

I am looking forward of another release but i don't trust them not to DLC part of the main story which if they do i will not buy until a $15 with DLC.
Oh sorry, EA/Ubi aren't responsible for this one are they.
Quality, single player, story driven games are virtually over :(. There's some indie stuff, but they're very short.
Makes me really miss BG&E.
After I finished it, I literally sat there in awe.
