Forums - Gaming - First BioShock 2 details

http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=209942

"The first details on BioShock 2 have emerged via a new teaser site dubbed 'There's Something in the Sea'.

From the documents and prizes scattered around 2K's moody flash site, it's been established that the second BioShock is actually a sequel - and not a prequel, as has been heavily rumoured.

If the writings on the website aren't just red herrings, then the plot for the second game revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a 7-year-old girl from a small fishing town overlooking the water, some seven years after the events of the first BioShock.

"Local fisherman Eamon Clune, 44, and his wife Charlotte (32) were awoken by the sudden shattering of a window in the front room," a document on the site reads. "Moments later, his daughter Maura, age 7, screamed. Mr Clune rushed to investigate the noise only to notice the unknown attacker racing out of the broken window with 'incredible speed'

"Due to the moonless night, Clune was unable to provide a description of the assailant. He notes that the attacker was thin, above average height and wore some kind of 'red light.'"

A picture on the site of a toy said to resemble the "assailant" looks like - yep, you guessed it - a Big Daddy. Perhaps even a slimmer and - going by the text - faster version. Investigate more yourself on the website.

We have to say we're surprised and delighted by the direction the sequel's taking with its story - this is much more compelling sounding stuff than a simple origins story. Expect more soon."

The link also says the game will take place ~7 years after the original



Hopefully the RPG elements aren't so shallow this time around (forgive the pun). I may pick this one up if it's much of an improvement.



There has got to be more people with an interest in this...



Good - I hate the prequel approach to material like this. You know the past - so you simply end up walking through a story with twists that might/might not make sense knowing where you're going the whole time.

A sequel is clearly the way to go... and I have to say this sounds very good. I really liked Bio but felt it lacked in story/depth compared to the games it patterned itself on (System Shock, etc) but this sound very promising.

Sounds like something or somebody is looking to create Little Sisters... and my curiosity is already piqued as to why.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I loved the first game, hopefully this will be just as awesome!

EDIT: From what I can see, there's a cross on the Republic of Ireland, with Abolish written above it. Hmm... the Ireland probably means it's set there, can anybody wager a guess as to the Abolish?
