BIOSHOCK 2!

[abundant]

http://somethinginthesea.com/ launched last week and it updates daily. The updates are about someone or something kidnapping children between 5 and 7. The mystery kidnapper was revealed today on the Game Informer April Edition cover.

....that is even creepier than the Big Daddy's.

This reminds me, I need to finish the first one. Got to the final boss battle, got frustrated and left it for a week or so, then forgot I hadn't finished it and traded it in.

[SRN]

Oh my. I fucking loved the first one and had immense fun playing it. But this? Oh god fuck it looks horrible.

[apsham]

..there isn't anything out except for a vague idea from the teaser site and the cover of this magazine. >_<

....wha?

Reminds me even more of City Of Lost Children now.

They should get Ron Perlman to do the voice of the main character

[Reddaye]

Here's hoping they make the game a bit more like System Shock 2 this time around.

Either way I'm pumped though.

[SRN]

I wanted to jump to conclusions. Otherwise, I have been affected with the cynical view on sequels because most of them are usually COMPLETE AND UTTER SHIT!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Like Crank 2 will be.

Fortunately System Shock 2 is one of the best games ever made, so the omens aren't all bad.

sequels because most of them are usually COMPLETE AND UTTER SHIT!

GTA San Andreas

Fallout 3

Saints Row 2

Half Life 2

Call of Duty 4

Gears 2

Any of the Metal Gear Solid games

Killzone 2

FFVII

and so on and so forth. All fantastic games, arguably better than the original, and these are just off the top of my head. So. Hyperbole much?

[apsham]

He's probably thinking of movies or something. >_>

Summary: 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.

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.

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 says they'll think twice about attacking you on their own, but if they're in groups they'll tear your shit up.

More info on big sister: "The Big Sister will always be a desperate, desperate fight...She can find you wherever you are, so you have to prepare for the fact that the hardest thing in the game is on the scent."

She's fast, stabs you with her ADAM needle, then uses TK to suck in all the stuff in the room as a shield, then launches it at you.

We get to see how ADAM gets extracted from Little Sisters for distribution.

You walk around on the sea floor outside of Rapture

Addendum: Vita Chambers aren't back in the same way as they were in the first game, but the same mechanic exists. Can be turned off.

Game is supposed to be scarier than BioShock 1.

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

What is that?

No source, nothing.

[wolves]

Game Informer confirmed that you play as a big daddy. There is an article on Kotaku about it.

[SRN]

I am still of the inclination that it sounds and looks horrible. I do hope I am proven wrong though, now that every sequel is good.

Trust me, I never post bullshit that's unconfirmed. I posted this after I saw the scans confirming it.

I wasn't saying it was false I kind of misphrased that I was just wondering where it was from.
