Game Informer cover confirms Big Sisters, return to Rapture for BioShock 2

by Randy Nelson on Mar 10th 2009 6:50PM

As confirmed by Take-Two during today's investors call, the April issue of Game Informer features a cover story on BioShock 2. The mag's site has now posted said cover image, providing a first look at the new "Big Sister" character teased by the game's official site, along with confirmation that players will be returning to the first BioShock's setting: the underwater city of Rapture.

The Big Sister looks to be as iconic as her predecessor, the Big Daddy, sporting interesting details including bows tied to her Little Sister "carrying cage" and what appears to be either an arm-mounted rifle or potentially -- not to mention more fittingly -- a large ADAM syringe. Click on the source link for a Big ~~Daddy~~ Sister-sized version of the cover.

Nope, little daddy hides in big daddy's pants and comes out when big sister wants to play. Mister Bubbles told me so.

I played through Bioshock so quickly because it scared the shit out of me. It was a great game though. I may give it another shot sometime to get ready for the sequel.

Big sisters? Unoriginal much?

At present, the GameInformer site has been Joystiq'D.

Wouldn't Big Mommas be more appropriate?

they would need to make them pretty hefty martin lawrence could do the voice work for them

Dammit, beat me to it!

i've been saying this. the female counterpart to a big daddy would be a big mommy.

according to the teaser, the game's little sisters are now grown up (at least one is), meaning they are now big sisters...

so somebody better get all that straight otherwise it's gonna get confusing...

SPOILER ALERT

Massive update on http://somethinginthesea.com/

making me think more and more the kidnapper they are talking about is a big sister

Wow, that was an intresting read. I think its kinda obvious that its big sisters that are kidnapping the girls.

T2, would you kindly not screw this up? My hopes for this are way too high right now.

Well, if they've created 1 type of baddie, they are 1/7th the way to the entire game. If BioShock 1 is any indication.

Then just pack them into the monster closets and you're off!

Thats an odd Big Daddy. :\

Hip hip horray!

big sisters face looks like one of the balls in portal.

ha, it does

Are they really trying to ruin this game the first was so perfectly structured from the atmosphere, story and the NPC's that really made it stand out for me. Gameplay wise it I'm sure it won't be any different so no biggie there. I hope their still keeping the original Big Daddy and Little sisters they really added a great deal of immersion.

Real bothersome that the Iconic Big Daddy has turned into some fucking abomination that is void of anything interesting...same goes for Big Sisters.

Is it me or does that big daddies helmet look very much like the Gladis's system things from portal.

And also i like the fact that the "Big Sister's" cage has bows/ribbons on it, it adds a nice touch.

I really didn't think they'd return to Rapture because you already explored the damn place and killed off everyone. I guess I was wrong.

Was there really a need for a sequel? Bioshock,Dead Rising,and Condemned are all games I believe told a whole story and didn't need a sequel ruining the mystery and magic of the games.

I honestly do not see the need for a second Bioshock.

I can really agree with Bioshock, but not dead rising, that game had a story but really, did anyone care? Or did you just wanna kill zombies? The second one's story will probably be just as ridiculous but with a fresh change of scenery and weapons

OMFG YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

When a game sells as well as Bioshock did, sequels are inevitable. Even if the game doesn't deserve a sequel in as far as the story goes. Making games is a business.

I honestly like the design. I still hope big daddys plays a role in all this too. As long as your character isn't the same from the first and that he/she doesn't have alot of involvement like in the first (meaning speaking roles). I'm finding it hard to predict seeing as how the first had multiple endings...thats what scares me the most of this sequel.

I'd hit that...

Probably...

It's official, BioShock has jumped the shark.

I mean, assuming they didn't jump the shark in the original. Which they kind of did.

Explain.

Hope it's as awesome as Bioshock 1. As for the Big Sisters, I foresee disturbing "erotic" fanart in their future.

hmphhhhh... oh well, at least the first game was awesome! "Little sister dont ya', little sister dont ya', kiss once or twice and say its very nioce and then you run, little sister dont you do what your big sister does.."

I'm wondering why they dont post this on the Joystiq Playstation or Joystiq Xbox page. I really dont want to miss any BioShock 2 info

The Big Sister looks surprisingly bad ass. I never was too fond of the Big Daddys just because of their bulky armor.

k, so it's definitely about either a) that crazy smoking bitch who kept the sisters safe
b) a former little sister remembering her experiences through dreams and somehow sets out for rapture in order to save more girls from peril... the big sister costume definitely seems to be a way of combating the big daddy uprising that had occurred/lure the girls into safety...

i think the game will be great

Pictured above is not referred to as a "Big Daddy" more like a "Big Brother". In addition to the "Big Brother"s there are also:
1.) Massive Aunts
2.)Little Brothers
3.)Average Cousins

At the rapture family meals:

Would you kindly pass me the peas?

I don't think there are Big Sisters. Pretty sure that's Tenenbaum.

The timeline would fit if the first game takes place in the early 1960s.

*runs off to download bioshock for his PC!!!!!*

Gotta replay this game while the second still comes

*laugh at game informer opinion of RE5*

Really gameinformer, PERFECTION???? Capcom did gave them a lot of bucks for that, didn't they?

This was just my IMO

Hopefully 2K know what they're doing, I've already made a $100aus Preorder on it but the original was fantastic with a few minor issues when it comes to playtime, plus I love what I'm hearing about Bioshock 2 the fact of Kidnapping little girls screams moral choices and the possibility of going to the surface.
So right now i'm holding my breath and hoping for the best.

From Carbine97(my Gamertag)

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ROFL ; )

The new design looks really inventive but it makes you wonder about the mechanics.
SInce the big sisters bodies are more agile wouldn't it call for speed sorta like a spider splicer but the little sister mounted to the back with alot of excess room seems to make you wonder, what difference and threat do the big sisters pose other than aesthetic value.
Keeping in mind big daddies and rosies were already pretty fast.
If someone can clear this up for me, please email me, or talk to me on myspace.
