Purkake Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Information from PC Gamer and OXM UK via NeoGAF: [*] You're the first Big Daddy ever built, and by far the most powerful. [*] Bioshock 2's story is entirely about the Big Daddies, the Little Sisters and the lives they once had. [*] You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Sounds halfway decent but something tells me this game is gonna be a parody about Big Sis/Daddy's. But we will see. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 So the Big Daddies heal now? You can't wear them down by respawning? This game is going to be brutally difficult.

Syraxis Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I might buy it when it hits the $30-$45 price range, first one was good but wasn't all it was hyped to be. Setting was refreshing and unique but the gameplay feels like something's missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowtrain Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It sounds like there is only one enemy (the Big Sister) in the entire game? Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Morgoth Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It sounds like there is only one enemy (the Big Sister) in the entire game? No, the Big sister is more like the Nemesis of the game, while you also fight other Big Daddies, Splicers and whatever else crawls down there in Rapture. Rain makes everything better.

Aristes Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 At least the big sister looks a lot more interesting than the big daddies. Hell, I wish I could play one of them. haha A lot more opponents and an escort to boot? Ugh. I like some of what I see, but I don't want escort quests. We'll see, though.

cronicler Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Erm, aristes was that sarcasm? Because you/we/the player will be playing a BD in the game. IG. We kick ass and not even take names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think the escort thing is just when they harvest. The devs said themselves they hate escort quests, so maybe its just a "defend this spot" sort of thing. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Aristes Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Not really. I know that we're playing the big daddy and I was saying that it might be interesting playing a big sister. ...But that's because the big daddies always seem like lumbering galoots. I'm undoubtedly going to buy the game and I look forward to enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Meh, i thought that the "strenghts" of Bioshock was the art design, theme and story. If the second installment fails on those accords, then it is a pass for me.

Jaesun Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm not sure how I feel about playing as a Big Daddy. And the Daddy/Sister harvesting thing just seems... weird. Well, hopefully it will play out well at release.

Mnemon Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I haven't played the original Bioshock - it wouldn't have run on my laptop. I've read about it before release and seen the response after - but that's not really the same, of course. I did play and love both of the System Shocks - and at least that latest video plus commentary looks sufficiently different if they pull things off. I think not being a weak and lost individual could provide for a really different story line, and I love unusual protagonists - one of the many things that made Shiny a great developer. To be honest the Little Sister / Big Sister dynamic could be interesting if they balance it right. It'd be much more interesting if you'd need adam to survive, not just develop your character. And if that only means that with out adam no resurrection. The resurrection system in the System Shock 2 (less in one) worked because you had to - times and again - venture out of the safety zone and even within what was safe you only were able to be resurrected if you had money. That's one of the things I'd love them to copy. If adam would be required for re-spawning, but at the same time harvesting also results in bringing about your worst enemy - one that can really harm you - there's a lot of potential for difficult decisions along the way. And while death isn't the game stopping result it's still something to fear and to avoid. It also could re-introduce resource management. I know that you could re-set plasmids in Bioshock - and again, the simple system of system shock that anything you did required resources could be applied here, too. But then again ... it's unlikely a game that is as difficult as the System Shocks would be made as a multi-platform high budget title . I'd prefered if they'd managed to remain a semi-indy type developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
