Cheers, although the 'new' site has been up for a little while.

It's interesting to see that this isn't a prequel as many anticipated; it's taking place a few years after the original. Also, these 'Big Sisters' are somewhat interesting.

and somewhat of a rip off, they look like a slightly tweeked version of DOG from half life 2.

The new "Big Daddy" with the red eye creeps me out in a certain way. Reminds me of those robots in "I'Robot" that turn crazy when glowing red.

Bioshock 2 details emerge:

http://www.deeko.com/news/?p=11012

2 player co-op, underwater exploration levels, Soviet enemies and no more Big Daddies are just a few of the details revealed.

no more big daddies??? that makes me sad, co-op makes me happy again tho.

EDIT : is this made by the same guys? because reading that description makes it sound like a really run of the mill action game. lose the health system in favour of im sure recharging health. including co-op (not arguing but kind of goes against the clostrophobic solitary game the first was) battling giant squids and mutant rhino's, it all seems a bit...stupid...like a different team has taken the rains?

I can't say for certain but, as far as I'm aware, a slightly different team is developing the sequel.

The more I read the new features, the more I think it's going to be crap.

This sounds almost nothing like Bioshock.

That's sad news. But I still hope the sequel's gonna be based on the same concept that Ken Levine first implemented.

thank god, although i just found THIS, which seems to be a bit more genuine

Mod Edit: SCANS DELETED
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.
im not sure which sounds worse tbh. the old idea or the new one.

Don't those qualify as scans?

I can just picture this game feeling like a Treyarch sequel.

This. Although, I have to say that I always thought it'd be sweet to play as a Big Daddy and the details sound rather cool. This is a 'wait and see' for me.

Yeah, still the game looks really good. I loved the scene under the water. Hopefully they'll release demo this time too. The first game was awesome but sometimes I got really bored in some areas, I really hope they add a lot more enemy types in this game.

That was awesome - I especially liked the underwater scene.

I wasn't that excited before, but I am now.

Newest trailer, Alone Amongst the Dead is up - best trailer yet, and the first video from the game that finally has me excited this game could be as good as the original.

Also announcement that Bioshock 2 media embargo ends Thursday, so expect a veritable flood of new media to surface for the game starting then.

Enjoy!
