BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2

The opposable thumbs blog is reporting that despite a lack of BioShock 2, a third installment of the BioShock universe has been confirmed. "Take Two's Chairman Strauss Zelnick let the news slip during a conference call to investors. The third installment will apparently be strongly linked to the also recently-announced BioShock movie. 'Its unlikely the picture would be released coincident with BioShock 2,' Strauss said of the upcoming film. 'It's more likely it would be released coincident with BioShock 3.'"

'It's more likely it would be released coincident with BioShock 3.'

The operative word here is WOULD. Not WILL, but WOULD.

The only implication here is that the movie will take roughly two game development cycles to produce.

Doesn't quite sound like a confirmation to me

Sounds more like BioShock 2 will come out well before the movie, and so if a game release was coincident with the movie release it wouldn't be BioShock2.

Best story?

I think not. System Shock 2 had a better story and game.
