I'm sure some of you have seen the trailer of the girl holding the Big Daddy doll well recent developments have concluded that the doll may indeed be a representation of a girl version called the "Big Sister" said to be smaller and faster than her counterpart the Big Sister is believed to make an apperance in "BioShock 2 Sea of Dreams"

Head to http://somethinginthesea.com/ for some cryptic pictures that hint the new plot.

Total lack of interest on this board? Goodness gracious. Most places are buzzing about this but not here! god forbid! /rant. I'm not the only one who played the first one.. >_>

[Sonic]

I've played it but haven't completed it yet >_>

[Ikusa]

You're suprised? This isn't uncommon among most threads that aren't random.

Okay, for the record, I loathe most FPS's with a hot passion. I think the whole genre is overrated, mainly because of Halo. Not that I don't enjoy a little Doom from time to time. Anyway, bitching aside, Bioshock was one of the few FPS's that pulled me in pretty quickly. I've spent hours at a time playing on PS3, and I'm pretty stoked about the sequel.

[John Marston]

Ladies and Gentlemen. It is with great honor and fangasmness that I introduce to you the Big Sister...

Thoughts: Fucking awesome! She looks to be like she'll be a bitch to fight cause she looks hella fast. The Little sister cage on her back is a nice touch. I also wonder how these came to be. I guess we'll find out. I'm sure the process for creating a Big Sister differs slightly from her predesecor the Big Daddy.

I can see it now. She'll probably be jumping all over the place similar to the Spider Splicers. But I guess not as fast but still close. I'm sure the cage is for the Little Sister to ride in while the Big sister moves around in search of dead Splicers so she can take ADAM from them. I'm sure it won't be exactly the same though. These new little sisters could be different.

OMG Just realized that it says something about a "Return to Rapture" Fucking yes!

Anyone with Game Informer you must scan this when it comes out and post it here!!!

Wow pretty picture. I'm excited about Bioshock 2. Just wonder what new plasmids we'll get.

[Kaiser Zero]

Big Sister scares me! But I'll be playing it anyway!

[LadyKuchiki]

:O OMG!

All day yesterday I was contemplating getting BioShock..because I scare easily. lol So I watched videos on youtube and it looked pretty freaky. And I heard of rumors of the 2nd one and the "Big Sisters" only to see this and go OMFG!!!!

She looks super creepy!

>.> So I might just buy the game and this one whenever it comes out. lol

<.<

omg...her...eyes....

Looks like fun! >.> <.<

[John Marston]

The first BioShock had great atmosphere that feeling of it's you against the whole city and being alone was fantastic. The game did scare me a bit sometimes though.

Really? Wow, that must be kinda lonely then. lol And from the pics I saw...the world just looks so pretty and colorful...yet has that eerie and creepy vibe. So I think I might put away my fear and try it. Especially since I heard it's like $20 bucks now. lol :)

[John Marston]

Wow.. BioShock 2 is looking to be fucking amazing!


Don't read if you wanna be surprised. There spoiler tags added. Click to read a shit load of info.




Bioshock 2 info

Game Informer April 2009

• You’re a Big Daddy, and you get to use the drill and rivet gun. And you can use plasmids too. You can take little sisters from other Big Daddies and take them around Rapture to collect ADAM like you see happening in BioShock 1.

• The Big Daddy drill takes the place of the wrench. Can spin, but overheats so you can’t run it constantly. You can do the Big Daddy charging shoulder bash. You can heal your hacked turrets/camera bots. Incinerate upgrades let you throw fireballs and shoot a stream of fire. Cyclone trap can be hit with incinerate and become a flaming cyclone trap. Upgrade trees are more diverse to give you more unique options.

• It’s 10 years since the first game. The Big Sister returns to rapture, bringing back the Little Sisters with her. You play as the original Big Daddy. You can use the drill, the rivet gun, and you can still use plasmids.

• Little Sisters have been given a new look to be less creepy, as you’re seeing them from the eyes of their protectors. You don’t get your own Little Sister from the start, as you’re a renegade Big Daddy. So you fight other Big Daddies to get your own sister. You can still harvest them, but the other option has been changed to “adopt” instead of rescue. If you adopt the sister, she’ll ride on your shoulders, and you can go around Rapture looking for corpses for her to collect ADAM from. When your sister goes to harvest ADAM, a wave of Splicers will come and start attacking to try and harvest her. You have to hold them off until she finishes harvesting. You gain some ADAM from this, but not enough to tide you through the game. You can permanently rescue them, but the article doesn’t say how.

• The Big Sister is one of the surviving little sisters from the last game. She’s the new ruler of Rapture, and is the main antagonist of the game. With each Big Daddy you kill, the game lets you know how close you are to incurring the wrath of the Big Sister. When you do, the little sister you’re with will sing a song about how the Big Sister doesn’t want you playing with her, then you get jumped.

• Other info: Vita Chambers return, there is confirmed multiplayer(no details), audio logs are back, and Fontaine Futuristics is a level in the game.

Dang...

[John Marston]

Good dang or bad dang? Lol.

[Urza Planeswalker]

It is neat. Just still got questions. Ya know?

[John Marston]

Same here dude. But it's still early in development so we'll find out more soon.

But still. Its like a role reversal it's crazy!

[John Marston]

/rant removed.

[Kaiser Zero]

Okay i'm kinda impressed by it. >_> Sure you get to play a Big Daddy now but that's okay. However theres something that just seems i've done this before... I'll play it none the less but you know.

[John Marston]

Well. Let me just say I'm still not sold on the idea. IDK I kinda hoped for something else ya know? I don't think this game is gonna do as well as the first cause the surprise of everything is gone. Everything will feel too similar.


Chances are I'll still play it... I mean I love bioshock dearly. And I guess a part of me wishes that the same studio was working on it. But they said that like 5 people from the original team are still there.. Not sure if thats enough though

[John Marston]

*cough*

[Kaiser Zero]

I saw that. Sure he looks old but they may do alright with it i'm holding out hope.

[John Marston]

Well he is a prototype big daddy after all. And honestly he doesn't look all that bad. And seeing as the game is an FPS it won't matter anyway. We'll only see him arms, and maybe legs... I hope. >_>

[Kaiser Zero]

Well some good news and some bad news..... Bioshock 2 comes out November 3rd.... The bad news... well it comes out November 3rd.... MW2 and AC2(?) will crush it!

[John Marston]

The game was delayed! Till "Sometime in 2010" So it looks like this holiday season I won't be as broke as I thought. My radar for holiday is AC 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

[John Marston]

So, a little more info on Bioshock 2 has come out of the woodwork for those who haven't been keeping up. I'll just clutter them into a poorly written paragraph. I'm condensing everything if you want more info on something just ask.

There is more than one big sister. The prototype big daddy is called "Subject Delta". Sophia Lamb takes the place of Andrew Ryan as Raptures leader. Her views differ a lot than Ryan's. There is a new type of Splicer called the Brute, he has powerful shoulder dash much like the bouncer. Which knocks the player back shaking the screen.

There is a new big daddy who was actually in the first but they took him out, He is called the Rumbler. He can deploy turrets and fires rockets at the player.

One of the key points of the story is Subject Delta's little sister whose name is Eleanor, some unknown events happened that forced Subject Delta to go into hibernation. Dr. Tenebaum wakes him up 10 years later. And while he still has his freewill he is bonded to this girl much like the regular big daddies are, so he goes on a search for her. All the while meeting with Sophia Lamb, And Father Wales one of her lieutenants and a preacher of her religion The Rapture Family.

Basically that's the gist of it all. I might have left some things out here and there and if I did I'll go back and add them in this post later.

Bioshock 2 comes out February 9th 2010.

[John Marston]

So there's a new plasmid called the Scout Plasmid... Where you control a ghost form and can scout ahead. You can't use weapons while in "ghost" mode but you can use plasmids... I'm sure upgrades further increase the length and distance you can travel whilst in this mode.

[Kaiser Zero]

I'm glad they did come up with something new.

[John Marston]

To be honest this sequel might be a bit of a disappointment. IDK right now but there really isn't much new stuff ya know? maybe that's why there isn't much hype for this.
