common misconception in regards to sabbath. they didnt preach evil. if anything they tried to warn people against committing sin. examples of this include the song "After Forever" which talks about how believing in god is the only way to go. the song "black sabbath" was a warning against sin, with the end of the song (which was like a storytelling of the apocalypse or something) wrapping up their message saying "well if you keep sinning, this is what will happen.
although i must say they do contradict themselves a lot. between the cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and iommi's own words in saying that the idea of black sabbath came about when they thought "well, people go to scary movies. how peculiar. why not write scary music?"
but thats another story i guess. i think whether we see another ss3 actually depends on the sales of bioshock. i think EA knows that many ss lovers are just salivating over bioshock, and bioshock sales figures would be a pretty good indicator of how ss3 would do sales-wise.

Here's the difference though: IG made Bioshock with more than just making money in mind, they wanted to make a fantastic SP experience. EA's approach is purely money-based as far as I can tell from their games.
If I remember correctly there was some guy named Church. He used to be a LGS member, and is now with EA. He was/is interested in making a SS3. There was another guy with Church on the idea. But don't quote me on this, I'm just pulling this from memory. :o

So in short all this is based off a rumor courtasy of the hype around bioshock and something that MIGHT have been said in an elivator that's probably been taken out of context, right?

oh yeah bjossi, i know IG isnt just strictly interested in making money. thats why they keep calling bioshock a "spiritual successor" to ss2 - itll be story driven and whatnot. i know theyre not just out to make a "get to the end of the level and kill the big guy" FPS
and yes, this is based on a rumour and a conversation that may or may not have taken place. but isnt this what forums were made for? chatter?

oh and youre thinking of Doug Church i believe, bjossi

Ah yes, that's the name. :)

I read in game informer that SS3 was confirmed, but it's being made by the EA Sports team... it's gonna suck.

Why the hell would EA sports make a FPS game? That makes no sense at all.
