BioShock 2 Magazine Cover Reveals Big Sisters, Return to Rapture

I'm calling it - this is gonna nuke the fridge.

Cool, but return to Rapture? I thought this was a prequel? Maybe I just made that up...

There is only ONE Big Sister apparently, at least that's what Game Informer said in a recent news artice.

I'd like a little more stealth/exploration in the next one. In Bioshock I often would be creeping about, exploring, just enjoying the atmosphere, and then BLOOGA BLOOGA BLOOGA! some dude is running around screaming shooting at me with a machine gun, ruining the moment. Just let me enjoy my creeping around play time for longer stretches. And then give me Thief 4 while you're up.

I loved the Big Daddies as enemies because there were so fresh and startlingly original. This just strikes me as sort of... lazy. Hooray for sequels!

This new illustration is so well drawn. Who is the artist of this illustration ?

So the setting is the same.
The main enemy is the same, besides gender?

I'm disappointed - the ending of Bioshock 1 set us up for something more than just a replay of the first game as this so far appears to be...

I loved Deus Ex and System Shock but Bioshock was boring. What is your prognosis.

Screw the complainers, I love the artwork and the idea. I can't wait to see more.

I'm guessing we're going to be playing as a fella completely unrelated to the Bioshock plot, conveniently set on the opposite side of the city of Rapture, in places never before seen and for whatever reason were completely inaccessible to Fontaine.
or
We're going to just assume that the city is really large and even though the bad ending implied you were on a seat of immense power at the end of the game, which would count for the good ending, too assumedly.. That you lose your powers due to a PLOT DEVICE (Samus got konked on the head and lost her Varia suit, oh no not again!) so you have to explore this new area and use new plasmids because apparently your old ones couldn't cut it and the antagonist's super plasmid sucker-outer was a success on you as you entered her domain.

Bring it on. The first game was brilliant, I will even settle for a "good" sequel, as long as the atmosphere is like the first game.

I had a theory for the plot of this, if anybody cares.

It's fairly obvious that the 'Big Daddy' on the cover is the Big Sister stealing all the Little Sisters. Now, I assume that there's only one Big Sister, who'll be the antagonist, based on the whole 'Big Sister Awaits Your Return to Rapture'. Now, it's pretty much irrelevant whether or not there's more than one anyways, but anyhow...

Anybody remember that teaser trailer? If you're here, I'm sure you do. That person definitely did not look 7 years old, not to me. She's staring out longingly into the sea, and the cover says 'awaits your return', so we're either playing as Jack... or, perhaps, somebody else from Rapture? Yeah, pretty obvious where I'm going with this. Besides, why would Big Sister be awaiting your return if you're Jack?

So I figure you play as the only- or, who knows, there could be more- Little Sister that the Big Sister couldn't 'save'. Now, why you'd bother going back to Rapture, and why you'd be fighting there, I have no idea.

Since Big Daddies were Big Daddies and not Big Brothers, they shouldn't have named it Big Sisters if they were a little bit more logical. "Big Mommas Awaits Your Return to Rapture" is a lot more freighting cover title.

Thats what was missing in the first one ! Big Daddy with a six pack.

Interesting.

I wonder if it'll be a lighter armored, more nimble version of a big daddy.

Dairy products jumping the shark are funny.

Ninja Daddy err Sister! I am psyched. :)
