In the latest issue of
Games for Windows Magazine, 2K Boston head honcho Ken Levine talks about what's in store for
BioShock as far as downloadable content goes and what they're already working on. Levine confirms that their studio is working on new content, but will not be adding new narrative storyline saying that "I'm not a really big fan of expanding things just by linearly adding to the experience, adding a new campaign, as much as I am of enhancing the original experience and adding replayability to that experience". Levine then goes on to say that he feels that
BioShock's overall combat can be expanded upon and that numerous plasmids were cut during development, so they could be brought back in the form of DLC.
Nobody knows when the expanded
BioShock content will land on the Marketplace or what specifically 2K Boston has planned, but what we do know is that we won't be getting our hopes up for an expanded
BioShock storyline or additional campaign missions. Though, we're simple people and would be happy with a few new plasmids.
[Thanks, xenocidic]

I know I've specifically put off playing Halo TO play BioShock... It's a totally different beast than Halo or other "combat" based FPS's... so I totally disagree with your comment. I'm positively sure people would really bother.

i was really hoping for them to add another section to rapture because new plasmids and new weapons wont really change the game it would be more of a gimmick to buy the DLC

I played through the game 3 times, I don't see myself playing through it again just to use a new few plasmids. As much as I loved playing the game, I feel like I should have rented it.

don't really care about this DLC.
i seriously only used the electricity and big daddy plasmids for the most part.
it would've been nice to have more enemy types that force you to experiment with the other plasmids or having more puzzle based obstacles to use them on.
great art style and audio, I had a fun time playing through half of the game. Last boss was kinda Hokey and lame. most of the time i killed bodies, and searched bodies. kinda boring (so i should blame myself for not experimenting right?)
more gameplay for the sequel please, not just millions of ways to kill. :/

How about 4 on 4 Big Daddy vs Big Daddy Deathmatch, and about 3 maps =) Would be cool. Or 4 Humans vs 4 Big Daddies that way you get the plasmids in there. I dunno just a thought =)

Yeah i already beat it twice. If they give us 1-4 new plasmids for free, i dont think that would make me replay the whole game.

Ive beaten the game about 15 times, I really havnt got bored of it yet. I do like the idea of a co-op addition where a team can work against maps ful of Bid Daddys but no doubt all we'll get are plasmids. Whatever it is I will definately be playing again when new content drops

Well, I never did finish my first playthrough (CoD4 beta took over), so this would be cool... if it were free.

Just new plasmids?
Try harder. DLC should be a mission, multiplayer, or something big.
The plasmids aren't that compelling.

Something to flesh-out the Tennenbaum character would be nice - a new unlockable section of the level where you can meet face-to-face...

co-op in Bioshock is basically the big daddy plasmid. i used that for almost everywhere.
plus co-op would damage the creep factor for the game if you had someone at your back the whole time.
so no. sorry, no co-op. but multiplayer maybe...

I loved playing bioshock, but have seious regrets that I payed full price for it. It was a very short game and I have very little interest in playing it again. In todays gaming world with xbox live offering so many options to games, I want a lot more for my 60 bucks. Halo 3 is the first game to really knock that out of the park. (I have yet to get the Orange Box, but Halos matchmaking system and saving videos hasn't stopped amazing me)
