BioShock Infinite

No Multiplayer for BioShock Infinite, Says Levine
Written Monday, November 26, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

BioShock Infinite will not include a multiplayer element, says Irrational boss Ken Levine.

Back in August we discovered that two planned co-op modes for the game had been abandoned, with Levine saying, “As I’ve always said we are experimenting with things, and only if they are good enough will we put them in the game.” You can find out more about the planned modes here.

Now the multiplayer aspect of the game has followed suit. Levine responded to enquiries about the feature on Twitter by simply saying, “no multi”.

Let’s be honest though, how interested were you in the prospect of BioShock Infinite multiplayer? That campaign is where the real action is.

Good. Bioshock should always be about single player.

It was pretty bad in Bioshock 2....

Agreed - i'm glad it's a SP only title - MP with Bioshock 2 wasn't horrible, but it wasn't really decent either - hooray for SP focus!

I'm glad there's no Multiplayer because, let's face it, not every games needs
it and Bioshock will be better without it.
I was on the ropes over purchasing Infinite because of fear of Multiplayer
but now I might get it.

like others have posted im also glad the MP has been ditched as some games are just suited to single player only, the MP in bioshock was actually quite decent though.

shame about the co-op though i think that would be an interesting prospect.

Good decision. Focus on one aspect of the game and do it really, really well.

There are more than enough games on the market that try to do single and multi, and half-ass one or both.

Honestly, an achievement free MP would have been a nice addition. More is better, especially when talking about replayability.

Sounds like I'm in the minority of those that actually enjoyed Bioshock 2 MP.

But if the decision pleases the masses that's all that really matters at the end of the day.

I was under the impression this was already the case. I guess I mistook the no co-op mode to mean no multi as well. either way, I'm not concerned. I don't care so much about if there is or isn't multi as most other gamers. The game will be what it will be, and since the difference between a good game and a bad is more about writing than anything imo, inclusion of a multi doesn't really matter.

Bioshock 2 was only ok, but it wasn't because it had multiplayer, but rather because the writing just wasn't on par with the original. story is the difference between an okay game and a really good one.

This is good news ,hopefully other developers will take note here because all we want from these type of games are great story/single players and no multplayer because thats the standard these days.

Games like Bioshock 2 ,The Darkness, Prey and the Assassins Creed series to name a few dont need multiplayer ,only a few play that for more than a month and even then most of the people are just playing to get the achievments.

So good news indeed.

Focusing on SP campaign will make the whole experince so much more immersive, annd enjoyable. I for one will now get me a copy on Bioshock Infinite now its all offline. Glad it has happened. Roll on release date for it, and we can bask in the glory of what looks to be an amazing game.

Not really that big of a deal, the SP will be the same with or without MP being added. I think it's funny people think because they aren't doing MP that the SP will some how be better or much more immersive, even though it wouldn't have taken any resources away from the SP like Bioshock 2's MP did.

I have never played this franchise, but I have to say massive kudos to the guys who decided this... so many of my favourite single player franchises have been bastardized by cobbling on a multi-player mechanic to try & woo casual numpties.

10/10 sirs!

As happy as I am for this news I am slowly becoming more and more nervous about this game. The trailers looked amazing and I preordered immediately...but then the news of more and more upper level creative people leaving. Would be fine if it was just one, maybe two, but then it became more. Then cutting co-op, bringing in Rod Ferguson and the continuous pushing back of the release date. I really want to have high hopes for this game, but the excitement is starting to waver and I don't want to get my hopes up...especially after seeing how amazing the game looked from that first trailer.

Maybe I'll get lucky though and they'll release a game that works and isn't like Assassin's Creed 3 where they rushed it to meet the deadline.

While I do like this decision, the option to play some form of coop should be included. Be it in story based coop or a fully fleshed out zombies/ firefight mode. As awesome as this game is gonna be, not including what i just mentioned is shamefull. We should expect no less from them.

I think that's a shame. For a first attempt at multiplayer, I thought it was alot of fun. It took a little time to get used to but, the unique elements of the Bioshock world made it refreshingly different to other mutliplayer offerings. Still looking forward to the game, just hope there's plenty of replay value otherwise, I'll wait til it's half price.

I have no problem with multiplayer added in to games but just don't add achievements for the MP. If the multiplayer is good people will play regardless. Putting achievements in that require hours of play for no fun just puts potential fans off, what with 100% completion being all the rage.

Too many games are tacking it on so they can try and entice Johnny Call of Battlefield, be it the same-old, same-old King of the Hill and Capture the Flag variants or yet another co-op wave battle borefest. That and their marketing department decides boxes must be ticked.

I remember one developer saying there was no point in that, as you're going to be competing with Halo, CoD, Battlefield, etc. You either have to go all in or there's no point, as your servers will be dead within a month when everyone buggers off back to one of the big titles.

About fucking time.

hopefully this will encourage other big game company's to follow the same trend. enough of this multiplayer for no apparent reason. if your going to have multiplayer you should atleast make your game some what revolve around that aspect of the game, not try to have a "Awesome single player" and a "Awesome multiplayer in one" cause we all know that just does not work that well.

so I am all for this. I cannot wait to play it either.

Well I see the majority of people are here are just as ignorant as the rest of the gaming community. So I'll clear the MP stigma up a bit. Bioshock 2 had a separate developer create the MP, in no way did it distract them from the SP. For those who say you don't want MP in your Bioshock, I say why the fuck not? The world which Bioshock is in is amazing, why would you not want to enjoy that experience in some way with your friends? The MP in BS2 was much better than the majority of AAA shooters out there and incorporated the plasmids and tonics beautifully. BS2 MP is better than every Halo since 3 and COD since MW2. It was so much fun to mix and match plasmids and actually have skill and smarts be rewarded in a game that we only thought would be good for SP. It blows my mind whenever I see the casual gamers complain about it as if it was the reason BS2 was not as good as the first one. Like I said, a separate dev made the MP. Which gave the devs time to focus on the SP without worrying about the MP aspect. Bioshock 1 is my favorite single player game and yet I loved the second one too, the MP warranted the 60 dollar price tag, otherwise it would be a rental to anyone with half a brain because you can beat the game twice easily in a week or two. It's sad that the casual and uninformed gamers out there whine so much about a unique and original MP addition. We're in a drought of good shooters and BS could have been the savior of the genre, but you people ruined that chance. It's truly a sad day for any Bioshock fan. Keep blowing your money on shit half assed annual shooters and keep original developers with a unique ip from giving us a quality multiplayer.

@#85

i gotta say i couldnt agree more.

i loved both bioshocks and when MP was added. i actually had alot of fun playing. not get aggravated Like CoD (which i hate) or gears or BF3 or halo etc.

i think MP should be in bioshock infinte on a seperate disc, would be nice.

Yes awesome! no more wasting money on stupid multiplayer. See this way we get better SP fund and they also save money on not making MP

@85 That's exactly what I was thinking, I put that argument on when people were moaning about AC3 multiplayer. SP+MP=MORE FOR YOUR MONEY.

@85 No one wants to boost MP achievements. I bet you couldnt even find a legit game on BS2 now days.

@47:Not every game needs co-op or a zombies mode. Bioshock should always be about the single player, nothing more.

@75:It isn't a welcome addition if it diverts resources from the single player which it would have.

@94 it's pretty astounding how many people still play this game and play legit maps. was in a few weeks ago trying to get to 50 and it was harder finding people that wanted to boost. no one plays the boostable gametype, but there are plenty of people in the other modes.

MP in Bioshock 2 was pretty decent. It was nothing amazing, mind you, but just the way all the plasmids were implemented with guns had fresh feel to it. I played it on PC though and lag was event of a day all the time. No dedicated servrs can really break the connections. I wouldn't mind having MP addition here, but I won't cry over missing one either=)

I was extremely interested considering how awesome Bioshock 2's multiplayer is...
