Andrew Ryan's dream shall return to life.

I've been seeing a lot of theories thrown about on a number of forums, and the one I like best is that this site is based in modern times, like someone has found a box with all this in it, and he's slowly piecing it all together. That'd be pretty amazing if true.
However, there's a lot more going on with this teaser site than most people are seeing. For example, the town in Southern Ireland where the first girl was reported missing, Liscannor Bay, has some notable history for being the hometown of John Philip Holland. Not only that, but there is apparantly a myth/folk story from around there about a boy who had a magic ring/key, from which he could summon a red glowing island from the sea.
God, this teaser site has reminded me of just how much I love Bioshock. I'd say that this is my most hyped game now. Can't wait until they show it off at GDC.Comment

It's defiantly interesting on toying with true myths and making it integal into this teaser site for GDC. I am defiantly looking forward to playing sea of dreams, especially when the first game's plot made me in awe a few times. It's going to be great.Originally posted by randomwab View PostComment

My bad. How those little details slipped my mind is beyond me...Originally posted by BadWolfX View Post
But yeah. Colour me intrigued and psyched. If the story is but a pale shadow of the first game then it'll still kick the snot out of most other games out there. It was the first story to genuinely surprise me in a long, long time.Comment

Hmmm...there was nothing to suggest Tenebaum ever went to the surface in the first game, was there? Bar her voice over in the good ending?Originally posted by randomwab View Post
Still. Rapture doesn't look so good. For one with no one left to repare it Rapture wouldn't have lasted all that long. Then again, didn't we see a Big Daddy doing some repairs during the initial decent to Rapture, or am I going nuts?Comment

I believe they did double up as repairmen, so if there were no little sisters left then they may have turned to repairing and tried to restore Rapture.Still. Rapture doesn't look so good.

Well it looks nice. I'll be giving it a blast when it is released but didn't the original creators move onto another project?Comment

GameInformer subscribers have leaked the first details of highly anticipated sequel BioShock 2, including the revelation that co-op will be available, and that there will be NO Big Daddies at all. Strap yourself in for full details, and be aware that spoilers lie ahead.
BioShock 2 tells the story of a private investigator named Jack Abbott, whose daughter is kidnapped by the "Big Sister" character as shown on GameInformer's cover. Abbott pursues the creature by boat and confronts her, but is knocked unconscious and awakes in a certain famous underwater city, which is in even worse shape than it was before, thanks to seven years of ruination between this game and the last.
Things go from bad to worse when a Soviet submarine uncovers Rapture and gets introduced to ADAM -- the precious genetic resource of the first game -- and plan to use it against the Americans in the ensuing Cold War. Jack's forced to defend Rapture and safeguard ADAM from the nefarious Commies.
Hit the jump for more details.
Russian enemies are said to be far more intelligent than Splicers were, able to use cover and flank players rather than simply running headlong with wrenches in their hands.
There will be a selection of new environments that were unseen in the previous game, including a zoo with a collection of spliced up animals, including a mutated rhino and a giant squid that provides "an epic underwater boss fight." Other enemies include spliced dogs and bipedal robots which Jack will be able to hack for his own use.
As far as Plasmids go, we have two new ones confirmed. One slows down time for a few seconds, and another, far more intriguing one, is telepathy. Telepathy allows you to listen to the thoughts of NPCs, which can be useful for getting information like keypad combinations and the like.
Finally, the game will allow for co-op. That's all we know on multiplayer so far.
What do you think? Do these early details sound good to you? I'm a bit worried, despite my crossed fingers. The plot details sound like they could work, but I'll need to find out more before getting excited. Spliced dogs and rhinos also have potential to be incredibly silly as opposed to scary, so there's that. Co-op and the lack of Big Daddies are two pretty huge things that could dramatically alter the way this game goes.
In short, I don't know what to think. Somebody tell me.Comment
