I'm certain this did not even occur to you but you might have mentioned that the content of that video was rather extreme.

That trailer came out after Llyranor posted the link.

"That trailer came out after Llyranor posted the link."

 

I figured that out when I finished downloading the second video and watched it. Still, if the original poster comes back, I'd appreciate it if they added an FYI with the link.

 

 

 

In other news...

 

Given that the original SS was eclipsed by DOOM and SS 2 was eclipsed by HalfLife, I wonder if BioShock is going to inherit the SS curse.

[alanschu]

Define "eclipsed."

 

Because both Doom and Half-Life came out prior to System Shock and System Shock 2, respectively.

 

Doom was really close to System Shock though.

Eclipsed

 

1.

1. To cause an eclipse of.

2. To obscure; darken.

2.

1. To obscure or diminish in importance, fame, or reputation.

2. To surpass; outshine: an outstanding performance that eclipsed the previous record.

I think System Shock 2 came out less than six months after Half-Life.

Done.

 

I will be surprised if this doesn't earn a Restricted rating endorsement, especially in Europe, with the ability to attack little girl-shaped monsters.

[kirottu]

That was awesome. :cool:

[Tel Aviv]

Hmm. I wasn't expecting that trailer to be quite so violent.

[Diamond]

I have just watched the trailer. Wow.

[Darque]

Yeesh, that 3 minute one was pretty gruesome.

[Morgoth]

Absolutely not. That video was total baby stuff.

[Musopticon?]

Wow, woah!

 

That was pretty awesome. I especially liked the bugs part. Super-original and totally unexpected.

I for one am getting sick and tired of the creepy girls in games and movies. It all started with that damned Ring movie. Now every other horror game has a girl dressed up in her propper little gown and tries to spook you. It was kind of creepy at first in the ring... but it really is wearing thin for me.

 

It has become a bit of a joke.

 

I recently watched a long preview vid of Bioshock... and saw something both hilarious and disturbing at the same time. One of the little girls walks up to a dead body then... it looks like she points straight at his crotch and said... "Look Mr. Bubbles! Adam!"... Then proceeded to take out a massive needle and drive it into the corpses crotch.

 

I'm hopping it was just a mis-aligned animation... but I haven't gone back to scrutinize the event more closely.

 

I've only been semi-interested in Bio-Shock. I love the underwater stuff... but the setting is kind of weird and to be honest it didn't look that scary. I may change my mind though, I've watched previews that looked horrible, then played the game and loved it. So, who knows.

[Tel Aviv]

 

That deserves a laugh.

Also, that too.

 

I'm easy to please.

Absolutely. Prior to the Ring, little girls were hardly ever the focal point of horror movies.

 

Besides, I don't really consider them to be particularly creepy. They are certainly vulnerable, but when the little sisters refer to a big daddy as Mr. Bubbles, I'm not really getting the vibe that they are supposed to be creepy.

[Darque]

MAybe the "little girls" aren't meant to be creepy in this game?

 

Ever consider that?

[alanschu]

That was actually the idea I was trying to convey. Though looking back on what I said, I didn't do a good job of it. I did comment that I didn't get the vibe that they were supposed to be creepy though.

[Darque]

Oh, I figured that's what you were saying.

 

I was just backing you up there, Mr. Bubbles.

[Pop]

They're supposed to be monsters, refining the adam through their bodies, and thus eliciting all sorts of "omg what are they doing to the children!?" moral disgust. The children are not supposed to be creepy, it's what's been done to them, and the ethical bankruptcy that would even lead anyone down the eventual path towards that point.

 

That's what I gathered, anyway.

[alanschu]

At the same time, from what I understand it's only the little sisters that are capable of it. Whether or not they were engineered that way (OMG those monsters!) or if something else caused it is probably something we'll only figure out after playing said game.

[Darque]

Actually, I think the point of the Little Sisters is the moral dillema of either exploiting their ability to gain adam... or avoiding/protecting them.

 

Not so much an "omg monster!" thing.
