BioShock Vita<br />

Probably the most high-profile title on the list, BioShock Vita was officially announced at E3 2011 yet went radio<br />

silent for many years afterwards, only re-surfacing years later when Ken Levine took to Twitter to explain that<br />

he still wanted to make the game but Sony and 2K had never managed to work out a deal.<br />

Rather surprisingly, it later transpired that the series’ creator didn’t envision the title as an FPS, but rather a turnbased<br />

tactics game set in pre-fall Rapture.<br />

How this would have panned out is anyone’s guess and there were more than a few rumblings of disappointment<br />

that it wasn’t an FPS, but it’s an intriguing concept and the Vita has shown itself to be a capable home for<br />

games of this style.<br />

At the very least, fans hoped that 2K and Sony would manage to get the iOS version of Bioshock onto Vita, but<br />

even that hasn’t happened and seems increasingly unlikely given that it was pulled from the app store. As such<br />

we are left completely without the franchise on the handheld; a disappointing outcome given the excitement<br />

following the announcement.
