Which highlights one of Bioshock's weaknesses IMO, where the sequal could definitely improve upon - more variety to the denizens of Rapture.
Splicers did become a bit repetetive after a while.

You aren't going to see many 2 meter tall women at ANY age, so if you told me they were 14, eh fair enough. I think the fact the they are calling them big sisters and not big mamas might be a sign they are grown up little sisters, now big sisters. That would imply either the bad ending or some other resolution to the first.Schwabby said:
According to Game Informer, there may only be one Big Sister.
In an article about their April issue with Bioshock 2 on the cover it says:
"Big Sister awaits your return, not Big Sisters. Thats a small, but critical, distinction."

Well it did and it didn't. Levine made the decision to craft the narrative in a very specific way, some say for the better, some for the worst.

could be relative to the single Big Sister in the image, though.
Like an image of a Big Daddy with the quote "Big Daddy is going to kick your ass". Since there is only one in the image, pluralizing it wouldn't really be necessary and could be confusing.
I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if they only made one badass Big Sister (ala RE's NEMESIS) with a lot of other threats lingering in Rapture.

This is what I thought as soon as I heard that there was only one. It's presumably female and is unlikely to be a random Splicer, and she already has a link to the Little Sisters, who follow her. It could also point to the 'bad' ending from the first game being the canonical one.Amir0x said:

Thats what I initially thought as well. Something tells me it isn't the case though. What, did she go crazy all by herself down there? She was "fine" during the hellish happenings of the game, can't imagine, barring some apocalyptic event, she just sort of lost it.
TheJollyCorner said:
Well GAME INFORMER itself is pointing out that the distinction is important, and they made the article sooo... it's safe to assume it's nothing like what you said here

It is important to note that people in Rapture may start out with good intentions, but...

ahhhh ok. I thought that was just what Schwabby was implying.

First game spoilers...TheChillyAcademic said:
If the first game's bad ending happened and the main character needed more Little Sisters, he could have put Tenenbaum through the Big Daddy process - or something similar - to create the Big Sister. The Big Daddies were just normal people brainwashed with plasmids, after all, and Tenenbaum, with her existing affinity for them and the fact that she's not mad and physically ravaged by plasmid abuse, is a more obvious candidate to recruit and protect the Little Sisters than a random Splicer.
Or it could be a deliberate thing on her part, but that would take a bit more explaining.

Important Question;
What ever happened to
To be honest, I really hope the bad ending isn't followed. I think it would be way more intense if you left with the adam makers and things just got increasingly crazy and desperate over 7 years.
What ever happened to
Suchong? I played through the game twice and I don't remember seeing him or his dead body. In fact, since I hadn't, I was under the impression the he would be behind any sequel, at least in part.

Yep, and if you go into his lab you can see him drilled into the table.

You find his dead body pierced with a Big Daddy drill.
Then you find an audio diary in which he hits a Little Sister and then gets drilled to hell and back by a Big Daddy.

O-o ok then ThanksBorgnine said:
I got all the tapes, but it's been a little while since I played it.
I suppose I just want to know what ending they are basing the sequel on, then the real speculation can begin.

My bad, man.
I edited the original for future generations!
It'd be cool if we play AS the Big Sister, but then we'd rarely (if ever) get to see its design (assuming BioShock 2 is a FPS). Maybe the player could be a Big Sister, and then there could be OTHER Big Sisters running around, and when you meet them you cast aside the long shiny blades and have a frilly underwater pillow fight and talk about boys.
EPIC.
EPIC.

Site has been updated: Three new clippings, this time from southeast coastal America.
The Big Sister appears to be very confident in its actions and is now kidnapping up to three girls a week. It is also apparent that the girls aren't leaving willingly, and are terrified by their captor
. A brief description is given of the blade-like 'sword' attached to the Big Sister- the same implement perhaps used to make precision cuts in glass.

I thought it was made clear that the
good ending was the cannon ending though?
Hmm, I may be okay with the turn (Big Sister instead of Sister(s)).
But hopefully they take advantage of that, and aren't afraid to feature a lot of, uh, run-ins with said Big Sister
Also, I hope there's *something* like the Big Daddys in the game; they were a real AI tour-de-force of sorts imho. Would be sad to not have those ever-looming epic battles out there, or at least, the potential for some!

Dr Tenenbaum would be the best villain for this game possible. That bitch ruined the first game with her insane railroading. What? I forgive you? I do? Who the hell told you that? Come out here, don't hide in that room. I've got a forgiveness present to give you.
To say nothing of her stupid narration of the endings.
That was the sick joke of it all. Ryan was set up for the ultimate in videogame irony, and then this bitch shows up two seconds later trying to sell you the same fool's gold without so much as a wink. Game should have ended you know when.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Big Sister picture looks pretty cool but i am still not sure if they can make this work. If they do and just make one more after this I will be happy. But if they make more then 3 I am not sure how this story can continue.
I am still not even sure what ending of the first this will be following.

Probably been brought up already, but weren't the Big Daddy's in Bioshock, already women anyways? Wasn't Rosie a women? I don't really see why they are stressing the "they are women now, they are now big sisters instead of big daddies har har har" stuff if this is the case.
I really hate it when movies/books/games/comics/anything takes a strong, deadly, overwhelmingly devastating male enemy and then try and come out with a shittier female one, just for the sake of doing it. See Terminator 3. Its not the fact that they use females that pisses me off, it's just that they tend to bring along all this other shit with it to try and over emphasize the femininity of the "new baddy", and it usually comes off as forced and awkward.

I think the thing that the Big Sister design makes me think of most is Fallout 3.
A mix between raider gear + power armor + valves + wasteland scraps.

Also, what is the obsession with "Big Mama"?
They would be called Big Mommies if anything.
Big Daddies weren't called Big Dadas.
(Though if they were, that would be pretty surreal.)

Fyi, a lot of magazines look like they will have some bioshock 2 details in their April magazine. The embargo should lift next week.
That's from my Official PS mag AU, i might be able to find one in a few days.
That says March 18, which is really March 17 for you americans, so less than 5 days we will see a lot of new content.

^ Awesome stuff, hype level increased. ;p
I see no real reason to play as the Bioshock guy again. We already know his whole life story, and the character alone is not very interesting to start with.
Perhaps Game Informer is trying to hint to us that we will be playing as the lone Little Sister. Only problem I see is that the teaser site is casting the Little Sister as an antagonist.

Playing as a capture Little Sister would probably be the only way we would be able to use biotics in the game and make sense within the context of the story.GavinGT said:
