According to the Bioshock fansite Cult of rapture: "There will be no multiplayer (hold on before you complain!!!!) but for a very specific reason. BioShock features a compelling storyline that revolves around the experiences of one man as he enters the decaying world of Rapture. Having a multiplayer component would have compromised the story we were trying to tell so we made the decision to keep this game as a single player experience. There will be an online component, however, where new content can be downloaded."



IMHO this is a lousy excuse not to include multiplayer in the game. Sure, it may have a great story but take for example Half Life. Multiplayer made a good game an even better one. I'm not buying this one. but get this: No playable demo is even planned at this time. What no Demo? C'mon guys, just say that you're running late and you need to nip at the edges. I expected more from the developers of System Shock 2....
