If you take a screenshot from
the flashback revealing that you hijacked the plane under orders
That places Rapture (or at least the light house) somewhere around here:
So no-one else immediately thought that the person/being responsible for the kidnapping of the girl, described in the newspaper, was a Big Daddy out of its suit?
Remember the different coloured lights shining out of the Big Daddy's helmet in response to it's changing emotions/behaviour? I always thought it was produced by the machine-components of the Big Daddy suit, but what if the lightsource is biotic? Take a big daddy out of it's cumbersome suit, and it's strength will make it one fast motherfucker.
I expect the living internal part of Big Daddy to be absolutely horrifying.
Also, Bioshock was made with a fancy version of the Unreal Engine 2.5. I can't imagine the developers returning to this technology and wonder if they use UE3.5 instead, and how the Bioshock universe would look in the same engine as Gears 2.

Someone DID mention that earlier, but there's a problem with that: the skin and organs of the Big Daddies are grafted into the suit itself. You take off the suit, you're ripping the Big Daddy's skin and muscle off.

So something is abducting young girls and taking them to the center of the ocean? I'm assuming every X and date is an incident where a girl was abducted. Interesting!MirageDwarf said:From flash file...

Oh I'm aware of that bit of information.
However my ret-con sense is tingling. I can imagine that it might be rewritten that
Jack simply hijacked the plan at this location, perhaps out of radar/communications range and then flew the plane elsewhere, finally ditching it closer to where Rapture actually is.
That's why I think there is a little leeway as to where the actual location of Rapture is. Mind you, based on the location of the X, I don't think that it's Rapture. But there is an exploitable loophole in the original story if they want it to be (you're welcome 2k Marin).

Are you sure he highjacked the plane? I always thought he just triggered the explosvie when he read the note.

Yeah? I thought it was the other way around, with the common misconception that it was UE3, but actually just UE2.5 but with some of the features of UE3?
It doesn't matter of course, the game will be awesome. It's the art direction and not the technology that made the original so memorable.

I would very much like to play this video game.
And I hope they include another badass figurine with the SE. The Big Daddy on my desk is lonely.

Ken Levine stated in one of the later interviews right before the game came out it was UE3, but heavily modified "hybrid" as how he described it.

I really hope Bioshock 2 is less shootery and more RPGery.
Also, is there a line of Bioshock books?
I enjoy the occasional Halo book as a quick guilty pleasure read, but I could see Bioshock novels actually being good.

:lol Bioshock just got MAPQUEST'D
I'm going with the Big Daddy out-of-suit idea. Maybe not really out of a suit, but somehow damaged or mangled so that the suit has been reduced or altered. The doll on the website basically looks like a really beat-up Big Daddy.
Or maybe a Big Mommy which is meant to gather little sisters? Like the nurturing version of the protective Big Daddy?
I don't know, but this is an interesting way to take the series.

The game must be nearing the final stages of development if they're already doing real-world viral marketing.
Miragedwarf, thanks, but I think you should link that pic rather than post it in-line because it's sort of a spoiler for those of us who want to follow the site as they update it.

- True... I think it isn't much but something at least.... could be way off though.
- I think either or ending.
The same way Fontaine took control of you when you were about to die... so too I think the Little Sisters had a gene in them that is sort of a backdoor to bring under control "IF" anything were to happen to them as far as them getting out of hand. What that looks like--- who knows... but as far as the the red light coming from the head bit it seems to me that they are the ones taking the children (again... under some form of control) to re-animate Rapture (because remember--- 7 years later... the Little sisters we saw... aren't so little any more.... and they will need them to crawl through the ducts and such).
You do however bring up a good point though about the Dr. and whether or not she is alive or not. If she is... she has to be forced into making more Little Sisters for whatever purposes someone has for Rapture.
The more I think about it though--- and after seeing that map---- Re-constructing Rapture makes sense.... and I almost wonder if it's going to be a whole Alice in Wonderland bit where you revisit parts of rapture that are COMPLETELY different but look vaguely familiar based on the previous play through. It would seem as well that if my theory on someone else being behind Ryan is true.... then their vested interest in re-constructing Rapture to further push technology and gene splicing would make sense.

it's a glowing red light....like a gigantic big dady?!?

There's really no might about it. Fort Frolic is the fucking bee's knees.
I don't know about someone else pushing Ryan to build Rapture, but I suppose there were other people involved. It had to get financed somehow, after all.
I wonder how those Big Daddies are holding up after seven years. What do they eat? I remember seeing a Big Daddy with a red light in Bioshock as terrifying- it meant you were about to get your ass kicked. But the one in that news article simply runs away. Have their tactics or motivations changed?

Tenenbaum may have an expanded role in the sequel.
Each of the main characters had their own moral complications, i.e, Ryan building Rapture and creating his idea of an objectivist utopia, but ultimately corrupting the humanity of himself and others. Fontaine tells the player that Tenenbaum may appear altruistic, but has her own dark side. We even hear it Tenenbaum's own words, that she doesn't care for Ryan or Fontaine's ideals, she's just a scientist and wants to simply learn how things work. During the late stages of the game, the player is rescued by Tenenbaum's little sisters and offered sanctuary in her quarters where she is fostering a considerable number of little sisters. The little sisters have all been relieved of their Adam-hunting afflictions, but what if there is a more sinister purpose for Tenenbaum harbouring so many of the girls?
We never learn what happened to Tenenbaum after Jack, the protagonist, defeats Fontaine. Jack was assisted by the little sisters, presumably sent by Tenenbaum.
Bernbaum's crazy unsubstantiated Bioshock 2 hypothesis #1: Tenenbaum is active in Rapture, seven years after the events of the first Bioshock, and is retrieving either a)adam-naive young girls or b)rehabilitated little sisters for some malicious purpose.
We don't know whether the girl(s) being captured by the quasi-Big Daddy are rescued little sisters from Rapture, or whether they are just normal young girls. I finished Bioshock for the third time very recently, but I didn't pick up clearly why it was only little girls which were designated as responsible for the collection of Adam. Maybe there is some intrinsic quality to young human females that the person hunting them is after.

Has anyone looked at that X in the middle of the map and seen if that points to anything? Bermuda Triangle?
Crunched said:
Okay. I wonder if there is anything to be made of the coincidence between the girls age, and the seven years passing since the events of Bioshock.
Perhaps Jack is complicit, given that he was the only citizen of Rapture to return to the surface (only to return in 1960), and that when absent, he was still under the command of others. Complete speculation I know, but maybe...
