the worst part is all of those games are probably going to launch in the same 3 holiday months. Damn why do games never come out when I'm not in school during the summer.

Also, don't forget Alan Wake. Splinter Cell Conviction looks terrible based on what we saw last (all I want is a high-def chaos theory)

I don't think it's a matter of a running streak - I think it's just the industry expanding and more money and talent being pumped into it. 2010 will be just as awesome if not more so.

"3 years in a row!"

I really hope that this trend keeps up honestly, even though it will kill my wallet due to starvation. Just the thought of the industry moving forward so much makes me all giddy inside though.

A lot of those are high caliber, high cost, games. Makes you wonder why some analysts keep throwing out the scare that all systems are going to go the way of the Wii and be cheap and ugly for a wider audience.

If anything this list shows that game companies aren't forgetting about the hardcore market.

Looking forward to it of course, will choose a platform when it comes out depending on what is most convenient for me, but am I alone in that I could seriously do without the subtitle? Just 'Bioshock 2' would have been nice, 'Sea of Dreams' is just annoying and cliche, not everything needs a subtitle, System Shock 2 for instance...

Here is the basis of the plot:

(Assuming you beat the first one and got the 'good' ending, where *SPOILERS* you save the little sisters and make it to the surface where you grow old and they are around your bed when you die or however it went)

The story involves one of the 'newest' little sisters(as in, one of the last little girls to be made into a little sister) who was also the first in a new 'program' where the connection between her and her big daddy was strengthened, thus increasing the power of her big daddy and the amount of adam she could gather. Being one of the youngest girls, she doesn't remember much about Rapture, whereas the others remember quite a lot. After 'Jack' dies, and the older little sisters grow older and begin to forget about Rapture and start to live normal lives, this one girl cannot break off her connection with her big daddy (who would have still been in (the destroyed?) Rapture. The girl constantly has nightmares/dreams (SEA OF DREAMS) about the extra procedures and experiments she went through and to fully understand them she travels out to where the entrance of Rapture was (Jack did not reveal the location of the entrance, but she found out in an old diary of his).

The game starts with you (the last little girl) decending back into Rapture, to figure out what happened after Jack left.

We have to remember that Rapture was a hell of a lot bigger than just the places we visited in the first game, so there is a lot of locations that would have been untouched and not effected by the events of the first game. Since quite a bit of time has gone by, the splicers left will have been mutanted even more, the remaining big daddies will have gone mad over the loss of their little sisters and so on.

What do you all think?

I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused.

Are you asking us if we believe that that's the plot?

Or if we think that's a good plot?

Anyways it sounds interesting. I'd rather be the son of Jack though.

And yeah a Big Daddy turned insane sounds ridiculously scary to me.

I stopped reading when you said "where the connection between her and HER big daddy was strengthened"... There's already a plot hole right there, there's no such thing as "her Big Daddy", Little Sisters are protected by Big Daddies in general, not specifically.

FAIL!

A grown up little sister with a home-made Big Daddy doll. Sufficiently creepy. Looks like you can't "save" them after all.

I wouldn't assume that number 2 isn't a prequel. A city of sorts rises from the sand and it just might represent the undersea city from Bioshock 1.

'Sea of Dreams' sounds like a good title for a game dealing with the creation of Rapture.

I think the Barnacles throw out any notion of it being a prequel.

As does a girl standing on shore with a big daddy doll, as they were created in rapture after it was built.

According to 2K 'Sea of Dreams' is part prequel, part sequel. I guess we all got it right!

One could only hope.

What's that? Tenants moving out? Lower your asking rent and the second they move back in, raise them to the max! Profits mean more elevator shafts! I curtsy to you Yoot Saito.

I can haz?

I find it odd that this trailer has only just surfaced, even though it's been out on the PS3 for a while now. Nice surprise for those patient PS3 owners who waited for this game on their console of choice.

Long story short, a must buy for me.

I gotta say, I didn't have much faith in a Bioshock 2 because the first was perfect on it's own, but I am very intrigued by this teaser.

Also, handmade Mr bubbles is adorable.

"Snowblind, Lucas added the "Episode IV" moniker when the special editions came out in theatres. The original did not have it."

Seriously? I mean. Seriously?

With the exception of the absolute first set of Star Wars prints, they were always labeled 4 through 6.

Lucas later added A New Hope title when it became the first in the line of movies.

This trailer seems Japanese to me and I don't know why.

High production CG maybe? idk.

Anyway, awesome.

I loved the first game can't wait for the second.

This game's special edition MUST have that Mr. Bubbles doll after seeing how they gave out Big Baddy figurines in the first Bioshock SE.

Hopefully, it won't have a broken drill tip. :P

And this sequel looks like it'll have a bright future. I'll look forward to it.

Cal_Gore, your wrong, it has always been "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Anyway, I hope this game is as good as the original. I love Bioshock, even a year later it is still one of the best games on the market.
