Speaking to PC Gamer US, Levine said how he had produced a story for a third game in the System Shock series, but claimed “if EA were to do it, it would’ve been just a regular first-person shooter with a boss monster at the end.“
Levine said that EA “didn’t see it as a big brand,” and put not so nicely, “EA just didn’t give a s*** about that game.” Things are different now though, in the loving arms of publisher 2K Games, with the spiritual successor to System Shock, Bioshock.
“We have a publisher who cares about this game, and they believe in this kind of game,” said Levine, “2K Games is the company that helped reinvigorate Elder Scrolls and Civilization. They believe in core games.“
Bioshock was one of the games of the show at E3 and is scheduled to arrive on PC and Xbox 360 in 2007.
