Associate producer Joe McDonagh has revealed that hopes Bioshock will inspire a new generation of FPS titles. McDonagh hopes that the FPS genre will continue to move from the 'linear structure' present and move towards an open ended approach as taken by the upcoming Bioshock for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Where do you see the future of FPS games?

We really hope people will look at what we have done and see that the FPS genre does need a new injection of ideas. I think there has been a democratisation of entertainment generally and if you look at games it is reflected in things like the modding community. We're trying to express that in the game by saying to the player, 'you tell us how you want to play the game'. We are providing the tools for the player. Hopefully things will move away from the incredibly linear structure we have at the moment to something that is more open-ended. That's what we have tried to do with Bioshock.
