If you diligently avoided last week's GameTrailers TV due to all the BioShock 2 spoilers, the trailer you see above can help provide you with some water-soaked gameplay -- sans all the direct information. We feel it's safe to tell you that 2K Games gave this clip the title "Siren Alley" because of an area in Rapture of the same name, a place that we never got to see the in the first game.
Even if you don't watch the video above, you should take one thing from it: The "worldwide embargo" gets lifted this Thursday and a flood of information on the game is sure to follow. If you're really trying to remain spoiler-free on BioShock 2, now may be a good time to go dark.
YOU forgot the PC tag! Alright, okay, so I might've forgotten the PC tag. It's up there now. Happy?! Are you?! I mean ... thanks! :P (no, seriously, thanks. that was dumb of me.)
If there is one game I wish they'd never make a sequel of, it'd be Bioshock.
I loved the first one and surprisingly there was a great deal of closure in beating it. Now it seems as if 2K have taken the Cliffy B approach to this second installment by adding more "kick ass" to it. Sure, the initial "wow factor" sells the pre-orders, but really, does anyone expect this game to compete with the original? Do we really need to go back to Rapture?
Well I for one was always wondering what was going on in Rapture after the events of the first one.So I can't wait to step into the shoes of ''the first big baddy''.
I'd hate to have to visit Rapture a 3rd time after this but if they do make another I'd like it to be a prequel, where you witness ''The Fall Of Rapture'' that would be awesome.( maybe you'd be Fontaine )
...and? Not every game that involves guns and is set in the first-person NEEDS multiplayer. Bioshock was a great game on it's own w/o multiplayer. I'd rather have a quality single player experience than a mediocre one with tacked on multiplayer.
"I'd rather have a quality single player experience than a mediocre one with tacked on multiplayer."
I'd rather have both (Check Uncharted 2 for a good example). Unfortunately Bioshock 1's single player 'experience' could hardly be termed fun (esp on PC where everything that could be borked, was borked in that shoddy port). The only good thing about it was it's location, premise and SOME of the story and SOME of the graphics. The rest was like art-deco 'whack a mole' with that wrench and flaky/soft animation. When you play a GOOD solid game (HL2, U2, Resi 4) then go to Bioshock - you really notice how shit the whole thing FEELS to actually play. But if collecting tapes and gorking at water is your bag then I'm sure it really was a 10/10.
Physics still looked capped (non smooth/jittery), gunplay still looks 'soft' (non pleasing and non addictive), Effects still look overly garish and simple (welcome back to 1998), game still looks to be more about hype and story than solid gameplay.

Shit!
I didn't think Bioshock 2 would be able to hold a candle to 1.
From that trailer, my confidence the developers is sky high. Looks great
todd @ Oct 26th 2009 3:45PM
Damn, gonna be great (I hope)... not so sure about the MP aspect but SP will kick ass.
jarhead906 @ Oct 26th 2009 3:46PM
Is this being developed with the PS3 being the lead platform?
EX3CUT1ON @ Oct 26th 2009 3:50PM
What do you think?
Jack_Jackington @ Oct 26th 2009 4:20PM
now I really want to know the answer to this
Asmerom (PSN: neon6plz) @ Oct 26th 2009 9:41PM
No, it's being developed with the 360 and PC in mind. It's too much work to make it for the PS3 as developers have a hard time coding for that giant.
Travis @ Oct 26th 2009 3:49PM
Holy cripes this game is looking good
nukee @ Oct 26th 2009 3:50PM
Damn, that looks great.

My mind has just been blown. Big Daddys with chain guns and rocket launchers? and a new look? AWESOME.
CenturyMan1979 @ Oct 26th 2009 4:25PM
No doubt the game will be great but I really hope they have a better end boss this time around. That was a pretty big let down with the first game.
MRLN (The Comment God) @ Oct 26th 2009 4:28PM
"Wow"
And the masses nodded their heads in agreement.
Maulok @ Oct 26th 2009 4:29PM
I really want this to be good, but I am filled with trepidation.
Justin B @ Oct 26th 2009 4:32PM
Oh. My. God.

Nobody is forcing you to play it.
dogmaticatheist @ Oct 26th 2009 4:57PM
BioShock is a game that doesn't seem like it needs multiplayer.
WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Oct 26th 2009 9:34PM
Bioshock is a game that desperately needs multiplayer, the first one has zero replay value.

Well if adding deathmatch multiplayer that people will play for a month and then abandon is your bag, you're entitled to your opinion.
RyanTheGreat57 @ Oct 26th 2009 5:13PM
Can't wait for this game!!
fozaldo @ Oct 26th 2009 5:30PM
Holy crap, they really knocked it up a notch.......BAM!
So looking forward to this now.
