Rumor: More BioShock plasmids ready to unlock
by Alexander Sliwinski 
{ Sep 6th 2007 at 4:55PM }
Joystiq spoke with 2K and they delivered one of those delicious open-ended quotes that beg for wild speculation. 2K says, "Since 2K Games hasn't announced any downloadable content at this time, we have no comment." Where's Ken Levine for us to get a straight answer? Don't make us use the magic words 2K, if we want answers about more plasmids we know exactly the precise words to use! It'd be nice to get more plasmids (for free) as a little bonus down the road, but we'll be happy if those plasmids get saved for BioShock 2 and cut out just that small amount of time in development.

Great game, but I wished 3rd person view was an option.
fischju @ Sep 6th 2007 5:55PM
That wouldn't have worked very well with the fell of BioShock. You have to be Jack, in his skin, looking through his eyes......

So, Rapture City is located on the Eternia planet?
Matt B @ Sep 6th 2007 6:36PM
LMAO!!!
Good one Fernando! It's the first +1 I ever gave you. ;P

If the new plasmids will have to be purchased as downloadable content, why did they put them on the disc?
mr nimblewick @ Sep 6th 2007 5:16PM
Just to piss you off that much more.
Shagittarius @ Sep 6th 2007 5:18PM
They have to use all that space on DVD-9 somehow.
faceless coward @ Sep 6th 2007 5:56PM
Yeah, Shag. It is pretty tough to fill up 9GB, isn't it?
[.sm0ke.] @ Sep 6th 2007 9:55PM
Seems like it'd be pretty easy to hack and get it for free if it's already on the disc though. I'm not paying again for something I already bought.
Shagittarius @ Sep 6th 2007 5:16PM
Did you guys do the He-man caption because He-mans name is Adam?
Clever!
I am Adam. Prince of Eternia and keeper of the secrets of Castle Greyskull. This is Cringer... my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said... By the power of Greyskull!

You just copied fernandos heman reference.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
colin @ Sep 6th 2007 5:41PM
Not just He-Man, Hot Fuzz as well. That makes it a whole lot funnier.
"But he's NOT Judge Judy and Executioner!"
I love that movie. I can't wait for their next flick.
colin @ Sep 6th 2007 5:46PM
its funny because they find a whole shitload of weapons and Nick Frost's character says "by the power of greyskull", ala plasmids ... new weapons ... greyskull. if you wanted to know.
Rob @ Sep 6th 2007 8:01PM
It's called 'Run Fatboy Run', and starts showing in cinemas on tomorrow here in the UK. You are right, Simon Pegg is a GENIUS!
colin @ Sep 6th 2007 8:12PM
plane ticket = booked
Godmil @ Sep 7th 2007 3:40AM
What are the magic words?
I think I missed a reference.
Sean @ Sep 6th 2007 6:00PM
delicious.
desh @ Sep 6th 2007 6:05PM
Didn't Major Nelson at one time say that MS had a policy that publishers couldn't place code on a shipping disc that they would then charge later to unlock?
Matt B @ Sep 6th 2007 6:39PM
You mean like having all versions of Vista on the same DVD and you can pay to upgrade your license to a more robust version with the same DVD?
rom @ Sep 6th 2007 6:41PM
I hope so, cause me wanty! But if they charge for it...ugh! Count me out!
Matt B @ Sep 6th 2007 6:40PM
"... I.....have....the POWER!!!!"

Why isn't anyone here noticeably upset with 2K Games? I realize that I'm the only one in the gaming world that thought Bioshock wasn't that great of a game (yes, I did finish it,) and so I'm not as willing to cut them slack as others might. But this has to stop. This content appears to exist, in a completed, tested, launchworthy form, on every single copy of the game. People already paid for it! If this continues, one day you'll buy a full-priced FPS, only to discover that you need to pay to unlock any other weapons but your fists! At this rate, I don't even think that's a joke. I don't mind free games supported by ads, and I don't mind DLC where you actually download something that has been developed/refined after the launch of the game (later Oblivion downloads, Crackdown come to mind.) I also know that several other companies have done this deliberate ripping off of consumers in the past, and I know there was an uproar because of it. Have you all already just given up and given in?
Rob @ Sep 6th 2007 8:02PM
not 'on tomorrow', just 'tomorrow'.
My bad.
:-D
killploki @ Sep 6th 2007 9:14PM
I had to download an auto update for bioshock before playing today....anyone else have this? maybe its related.
hydralisk456 @ Sep 6th 2007 9:28PM
No, it's just the 360 update. Got mine from The Darkness in june. You obviously haven't played a new 360 game in awhile ;)
killploki @ Sep 6th 2007 9:36PM
no, it was for bioshock. i have been playing it everyday since launch day and it was one of those small updates that popped up when i got almost to the main menu of the game.
kftgr @ Sep 6th 2007 10:02PM
I got the Bioshock update too. Doesn't seem like it did anything.
Is it just me or do plasmid/tonic names also sound like achievements?
Word of the street. @ Sep 6th 2007 10:29PM
I knew this already and I believe you forgot to mention one.

:D
Enjoy.
With any luck the DLC will be Free.
P.S Is not Rick Roll or any of that.

i realize adding DLC to a game is supposed to help with the replay value. everyone is supposed to get all excited about new weapons, maps or missions and pull out that game they haven't played in a couple of months and enjoy it all over again.
this new DLC business plan every company seems to be adopting actually has me waiting to purchase games until after the "new" content is available. most of this content doesn't change the game play significantly enough to excite me about playing a game again so i might as well wait for the DLC and get the complete experience my first time through.
