While we've got our fingers crossed for some new assets in
BioShock 2 (would you really visit the same Rapture twice?), the "New Daddy" pictured above will
not be one of them. This image popped op on the
Bioshock 2 Forums today initially claiming to be a new "experimental" suit for the sequel's Big Daddies. As it turns out, this is just a
really old suit dug up from an E3 2006 press kit for the original game. "The guy that wrote [the Bioshock 2 Forums post] either didn't know or did it on purpose," a 2K representative told
videogaming247. Clearly, he didn't know: "When I saw this picture I jumped on the chance to get something fresh, unfortunately, it was something that had already been released in 2006," reads an update on the post.
Still, as the poster argues, the ancient design is likely fair game for
BioShock 2. After all, if
Sea of Dreams is a prequel, why not make use of some pre-release assets from the first game? (Can you tell we're drowning in skepticism?)

Wait, I remember that pic back from when Bioshock was first announced for the PS3. I know cause I saved it to my harddrive.

Update (1/7/2009):
I would like to apologize for the incredible rumor on this post. When I saw this picture I jumped on the chance to get something fresh, unfortunately, it was something that had already been released in 2006.

Is that an 80's gansta big daddy with his radio on his shoulder?

Your so damn biased Joystick. I mean when the 360 gets a RE5 you post it, but when the PS3 gets one, you just ignore it. I mean WTF

What?

If this is a prequel/sequel, will Big Daddies even be in the game? I suppose so, since they were such a big part of the success of Bioshock.
Lionbacker @ Jan 7th 2009 5:38PM
I think so...
Someone told me once that they have drills and guns that fire rivets to repair Rapture. Maybe they were the handimen before Jack gets there.

@Lionbacker
That's right. If you recall from the beginning of the game (while you are in the Pod entering Rapture) you can see a Big Daddy welding something in a bridge.... thing...

the weren't images for the PS3 they are concept images for the game in general.
