Teaser Trailer

Unlocked after finishing the PS3 version of Bioshock.

Bioshock is still rated as my #1 game of all times. Let's see how they do with this one. Great teaser.

**Croesis**

I just completed Bioshock a few weeks ago, great game! Number two should be good.

**Arkiya**

The second one has a lot to live up to, but I can't wait to see what they do with it!

It's a bit "meh" to me, though I like the speculation that you get to play as one of those Sister thingies..

My roommate and I were wildly speculating about playing as a 20ish year-old Little Sister returning to the city, but the counter-argument was that leaving the city with the Little Sisters was only one of the two possible outcomes of the first Bioshock. The other (which is not the outcome I played) was taking control of the city and the splicers, or so I'm told. This caused me to optimistically hope that the start of Bioshock 2 would have the protagonist either returning to the city or defending the city, at which point the two openings would merge into one continuous storyline. But that doesn't really seem like a direction they would take things.

What we're really hoping for is some sort of Cold War era battle for control of Rapture. Basically, as long as there's Soviets and Big Daddies involved, we're happy.

Bioshock is my favorite single-player game of all-time, so I am looking forward to the sequel.

**Proximisio**

Still pondering how a follow-up would make sense...

I'll get back to ya when I find a logical answer.

**Ballak**

Yeah, I really can't see how they can pull a sequel off.

I mean, I liked the single-player. I liked the big "*shocker*" moment (huh, can't even say Where's The Food, anymore. What have these forums come to.) when you realize what you were really doing this whole time. The story was great, and at the same time pretty creepy as it should be. It's just somehow this game is going to come down with, "The original was great, but now it's meh." syndrome. I mean the only other "twist" I could probably imagine being feasable without being cheesy (like, hurr more mindgames) is the city Rapture having some hidden "higher" purpose rather than just being a home for the enthusiastic scientist.

And of course there's the annoying over-hype that's doomed to come with BioShock 2.

Gotta love how an originally planned 360 exclusive not only goes to PS3, but PS3 get's a PS3 only trailer.

<3 corporations.

as for all the people asking how a sequal is possible...
we don't know what happened to rapture in the end. why do you think more people can't discover more things?
how do you know its not a prequal? SMILEY

Because there's a not-so-little girl on the beach with a Big Daddy doll.

Many a tralier have been quite misleading.

It could be a hint at the plot and only that.

**CODEMAN**

Nice! I loved the BioShock on PC. Hopefully the sequel lives up to the first.

Hellie

I thought there were rumours a few months ago that it was indeed a prequel.

**Procurator**

Let us see where this goes.

The original BioShock was pretty good. Way, way overhyped though, and the last couple of levels I kinda skimmed my way through and sadly never felt compelled to go back and do properly. I may play it again while I wait for GTA IV or Mirror's Edge, now that I can see it in DX10 mode.

I sincerely hope they fix the console dumbed-down-ness of the first.
