The whole bioshock "thing" doesn't lend itself well to multiplayer, I bet this will feel tacked on like GTA, RE5 and Farcry.

In standard form, true. But they have completely rewriitten your character and setting for multiplayer. You player as a Splicer before Rapture fell (apparently then (and got cut from the first game) Splicers could use Plasmids)

I hope you're right but I have seriously low hopes for bioshock multiplayer.

I think i'd rather they just focused on single player tbh.

Thats the problem, when BioShock came out a lot of people wanted multiplayer, hence it's included in 2. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

AFAIK multiplayer is being worked on by a seperate team, so not taking away from the development of the single player game

They have done the only improvement to Single Player I wanted, duel-wielding Plasmid and Weapon, so I'm happy at least

It'll still be taking money resources and no doubt testing resources away from the SP game at the very least.

I guess we will see when it is out though.
