"Cinematic" game trailers is nothing less than false advertising. Always has been. Your just shooting yourself in the foot by showing off these beautifully rendered trailers then the game itself will only be a letdown graphically. Bioshock is no slouch, so what is the point of CG trailers here?

Was this done in a 3D rendering package (like Maya or Renderman) or is it from the game with some post-processing effects?

I am kind of pissed though that the CE offers free DLC for 30 days meaning they are actually cutting some stuff out for DLC because this is just too soon for any DLC comparable to what they released for the first one. Unless it's just multiplayer skins and stuff, this is kind of bullshit.

I loved the first one (it's in my top ten games of all time) and this one looks just as good.

I'm worried that the Multiplayer portion won't be played as much. Bioshock should always be about the single player story, but it'd be sad of the multiplayer was overlooked :(

Hopefully, that's not the case.
