Bioshock 2, BIG news

[Flap Jack452]

EDIT: How can you play as the "First ever" big daddy if it is set ten years after the original.

Hi. I'm my parents' first child. I was born over 20 years ago and *gasp* I'm still alive!
God, is the idea that something other than the main character and his love interest surviving in a FPS game so foreign?

Sorry I was under the impression you killed all the Big Daddies, my mistake. That is not meant sarcastically, hard to tell on the internet.

 

[Duh]

i will not read anything about this game in order for it to be OVER 9000 times better when i play it, completely surprising me etc

Edit: i realy hated this Big covereges of games that keep giving you every detail about it, tempting you into reading it so you can discuss it on internet forums like all the other nerds, ruining the game's experience, FUCK you IGN and other major videogame news vehicles

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

Sounds cool, but this doesn't explain that "There's something in the Sea" thing.

I'm betting this Big Daddy you play as will be sleeker and smaller, they wouldn't want the main character to be too powerful. This model will be less armored. I'm also guessing it will not have a drill/gun/mine with it, that way the normal gun-play will remain intact.

Yeah. Perhaps the old Big Daddy was just a heavily-modified splicer, or something.

Kinda spoilery. I wish I hadn't read this now. I would rather be surprised.

I read about this in GameInformer. My free subscription still hasn't run out yet. I am really looking forward to it now.

If GameInformer is to be believed, you will have the drill as your default melee weapon.

You've already read it? Isn't it in the April issue? Isn't it March?

you cant play the first ever big daddy if its

1)ten years after the first one
and
2)If you already played as a big daddy. remeber the final level of the first one.

other then that sounds pretty cool

First ever in that you are playing as the FIRST big daddy produced in the program I'd bet. You never REALLY played as a big daddy in Bioshock - you just put on the suit.

well actually you went throught the entire process of being a big daddy. You put on the suit,you changed your vocal chords, and you changed your natural body smell so that you smell like a big daddy.

According to some scans from the upcoming April issue of Game Informer, Bioshock is going to be have:

* Players play as the "first ever" Big Daddy.
* You rescue Little Sisters from other Big Daddies and can either harvest or escort them on their ADAM harvesting trips.
* The game is set 10 years after the first BioShock.
* There will be a multiplayer mode, but no details were given.
* BioShock 2's enemies include the Big Sister, a grown-up Little Sister who is hunting you.
* Some levels take place on the sea floor outside of Rapture.
* The Big Sister will periodically pop up after you kill enough Big Daddies. Her arrival is apparently signaled by a Little Sister singing a song.
* The Big Sister is described as fast and "the hardest thing in the game." She'll utilize telekinesis to throw objects at you or use them as shields.
* Your drill overheats and cannot be used constantly.
* You play as a Big Daddy and you'll be able to do that nifty shoulder bash move.
* Upgrade trees are now more diverse.
* The Incinerate plasmid allows you to throw a fireball or shoot a stream of fire, depending on upgrades.
* Plasmids can now be combined. For example, mixing Incinerate and Cyclone Trap will result in a flaming trap.
* Weapons and plasmids can be used at the same time.
* You can now heal damaged turrets and bots.
* Players will explore Fontaine Futuristics which is where the Adam energy is harvested from Little Sisters. Through this, you will learn how the Adam is recovered.



...I'm speechless. It sounds awesome.

OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME OMG OMG IT SOUNDS LIKE...LIKE

It sounds like a goddamn April fools joke, check the month.

Well, actually you could. Perhaps he's been in hiding, planning his dreams of conquest/revenge/making amends, and now (perhaps because of the Big Sister) has decided to put his plan into action.

I predict that the sequel will ruin Bioshock for me. It should have been a one trick poney.

It was the main article of the magazine, which means they would have sold more copies of the magazine for exclusive information, therefore if it was a prank it would be false advertising, and then they would get the shit sued out of them, if it was a joke they would have set it in the Game Infarcer section, it wasn't.

If it is, then it's a really crappy joke because all of it is believable and could actually create a really cool game. If it is a joke, then it's not funny, it's just stupid. It would make sense that GI is getting the exclusive on Bioshock 2, GI did a full cover story for Bioshock when it was first announced, they were the ones that really got the hype train chugging.

Quite possibly. I doubt most people will read it on April fool's day though. I kinda hope that they are lying about the little sister escort missions. That one at the end of the first part was the least fun part of the game.

Bioshock is one of my all-time favorite games and i would love to be in that world again. i hope this stuff is true although i am skeptical about being a big Daddy.
