Pitch your ideas for Bioshock 4
soma esque underwater exploration with more action based combat, some perk system that enhances different types of playstyles, melee weapons and guns that are upgradable. also plot isnt bound to bioshocks infinite shit plot but is built upon something after bioshock 2.
maybe the plot changes between the perspective of a dude and a big daddy and then you later realize its the same guy that has some kind of schizo shit going on.

Spooky city on the dark side of the moon.
There cannot be another game set in rapture, the mystery and intrigue are gone. I'd go for a dystopian cyberpunk setting, some giant city in an almost post apocalyptic world. Think street gangs, mega corporations and AIs (basically any William Gibson novel). Level design would have a greater sense of verticality than previous games, with some sort of device allowing you to double jump. Could call it Cybershock. Another system shock on a space station would be shit, the setting has been done to death (Alien Isolation, Dead Space games)

This. Fucking this.
>>332919793
also maybe lovecraftian mystery shit just to make shit interesting
>>332919880
>>332919878
A combination of these.

I was thinking that the city could've been established by the USSR during the space race since they were so ahead of America for a long time during it but let them win after they got to the moon out of fears their city would be found. After the USSR dissolved the city broke off and remained very communist.
I don't know why you go there but it gives us the chance of seeing an left wing extremist utopia like we saw a right wing one in BS1 and an evangelical in Infinite although it might be to close to BS2

A tower underground. Huge, stone pillars leading up, with what appears to be tower blocks connected via massive bridges. Like a roman city on roids with a more modern aesthetic. Your progress is you getting deeper in to the world that you awoke in, finding out how you got there. By going down, you eventually reach the surface, which shows you were never on Earth.
Maybe you're part of a cloning experiment, and the main villain is the man that you were cloned from; through out the game you're told you're his creation, and a lot of what you're doing is following in his footsteps, as other clones have done, and he doesn't want to be overthrown. We don't know if he's the original, we don't know if we're even a clone, but one of the endings is us taking his position. Another could be us getting to Earth.
The "little sisters" of the game could be "little brothers", which are children version of yourself (you're unaware of this until the revelation), but this time saving them all leads to a negative outcome.
The enemies are often masked, or just hiding their faces. Some have mutilated theirself to try and hide what they are. The female enemies are all different, though.
No idea what the Big Daddy equivalant could be.

Dark deco aesthetic in deep forest punk setting
You play as Ryan and witness the building of Rapture and the fall
Leave the dead horse alone.
There will never be a good bioshock game again.

You were in a city at the bottom of the ocean and a city in clouds, now you're in a city UNDERGROUND! The character wakes up in a strange city that looks to be set in the 60's and they don't have any recollection of where they are or how they got there.
But that's not all after you "escape" the city it's revealed that you were on mars the entire time and it's the future!
>Set in North Korea
>Glorious leader that has become power crazy.
>There is a fast-building resistance to the current power structure.
>Scientists are attempting to be the best in the world.
>Little girls are taken from their home at a young age to be trained to be national sport team players by a bunch of old instructors called the big daddies.
>Pasmids are only possessed by the glorious leader and only in news publications. He can shoot fire out of his hands - what can't he do?!
>Their structures and building design haven't really changed since the Korean war, so they look quite art deco.
Plot writes itself.

Gameplay.
The way you spec your character gives you various tools for how you fight enemies - the tools interact in complex ways, and tools are NOT universally applicable. If you don't spec properly, there WILL be enemies that shit on you because your don't have the tools to handle them. A "factory zero" or no upgrades run is damn near impossible.
Exploration.
See a road map of your city? See a floor plan of your building? Good, make it like those. Feel free to put in a big fence around it to limit filesize. Just scatter bullshit everywhere. Players love that.
If possible, make it so players who find 25% (or more) of the hidden stuff are classed as "Explorers". Explorers can place literal easter eggs anywhere they want, but are limited to 3 eggs per explorer.
If less than 25% of the players who:
Start the game after the egg was placed,
Finish the game within a month of the egg being placed,
and Get promoted to "Explorer"
find the egg, the explorer earns a new egg to place.
If more than 75% of the players who fit those criteria find the egg, the egg gets removed.
Good way for players to interactively play easter egg hunt with each-other.
>Game is called BIO shock
>Everyone saying it should take place NOT underwaters
You idiots realize that bio means water, right?
It'd work with a better theme and a good plot, because that sort of setting follows what they do. Also gives them a lot of creative control, where they don't have to do what Cyberpunk or other themes require.
City in the 60's is dumb though.

You realize its only called Bioshock because its thematically the exact same game as System Shock, right?
>>332922073
Was meant to be in response to
>>332921716
No.
>>332921830
bio is derived form the greek word bios, which means life
>>332921830
Is this a meme?
>>332920513
Pitch this to them right now
>>332922216
What isn't?

>everyone on the east side of the world gets to see the city on the moon
>>332923863
That's not how it works holmes.

Story in Rapture, call it Bioshock 3, finish Rapture's story, focus on anarchist themes, city is falling apart, some lovecraftian themes, bring Jordan Thomas back to write, or really anyone other than Levine. Ignore infinite.

City on the Sun
>>332919880
This.
It should be some abandoned cyberpunk city district.
You should have to scrape your way through abandoned, gritty settings.

>>Shit getting escalated in the cold war
>>Rich men from USSR and USA wanted to escape the would-be WW3
that's somewhat the plot for Bioshock you know
