Here's your good news for the day. Seems BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams (Xbox 360, PS3) will get what was sorely lacking in the first game. According to a recently found job listings, the BioShock team is looking for a team who will be responsible for multiplayer gameplay

 


 

Leading multiple engineers within a proven team to design and build a network frontend and backend support for an action-packed AAA multiplayer title

  • Advising engineers on how to properly architect their systems for optimal multiplayer support
  • Extending and enhancing Unreal Engine 3 with proprietary networking tech to address gameplay, performance, platform, production, tools, and QA needs
  • Interfacing with Microsoft, Sony, and other providers for matching-making and other services
  • Working with the Technical Director, Lead Programmer, and IT Director to plan and execute major changes to core technology or backend services
  • Responsible for delivering a robust, scalable, and responsive multiplayer gameplay code and backend services for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms

The BioShock team is betting big on multiplayer and plans to stay at the top of the charts– we’re careful about the problems we tackle, innovative in our approach, solid in our implementation, and we polish the heck out of everything we do. Right now we’re looking for an exceptional individual to direct the development of this multiplayer experience through a combination of leadership, design, coding, and daily problem solving on the gameplay networking and backend server components.

i think bioshock would make for some hectic multiplayer, but i feel if they do it will only be 4 on 4 or 5 on 5.

Why did you make this seem like a PS3 exclusive? And there is a thread on this subject already.



*Remember when the world was supposed to end on May 21st, 2011? Well click here to see our short parody video of it [not]ending*

Bioshock 2 is a PS3 exclusive game with multiplayer in it? Last time I heard Bioshock 2 was PC/X360/PS3 multi-platform title and will be launched on all three platforms simultaneously.

First of all, multiplayer was not sorely lacking from the original.

Secondly, this is not for BioShock 2. The job listing is for 2K Boston, who did make the original BioShock. However, 2K Marin is making BioShock 2, so this is for an entirely new game.

Third, dupe thread.
