Zophar said:PS3 exclusive? what?
That's weird. Maybe the April issue of AU OPM is already out at subscribers and they are putting Bioshock in the June issue instead. Do you know if that is from March or April?iceatcs said:I'm confused, I thou it was coming on April.
Picture from GT.

Domino Theory said:Just read about a bunch of details from the newest GI about Bioshock 2 from the TXB forums. I'll spoiler tag all of 'em for you guys.
-You play as Jack Abbott
-Game takes place in 1967, 7 years after the original
-A cutscene starts the game off In New York City as Jack intercepts the Big Sister kidnapping his daughter in his beachhouse. He follows it to the near by shores as it submerges into the water.
-Mark chases the Big Sister with his boat, and follows the bright red light it makes underwater.
-Mark fires a gun at the Big Sister and pisses it off, causing it to wreck his boat, causing Mark to black out.
Solving the whole Big Sister debate:
-Only one Big Sister (Mastermind of game)
I can't believe they're actually doing this
-Big Daddies are no longer in the game, but new enemies include dogs and soviets
Some other goodies
-Completely new levels of Rapture, including a fully explorable zoo.
-Underwater exploration levels.
-Squid Boss battles
-New weapons and plasmids (Including a telepathy and time control)
-Challenge maps
And a big "FUCK YES" to this:
-2 Player co-op. (No mention on who second player is)
-New Health and Revival System.
Dax01 said:What do they mean, exactly, byunderwater exploration levels?
That'd be pretty awesome.Nirolak said:I assume they meanthat you can actually go around in the water outside Rapture instead of being inside the buildings the entire time. Could be wrong though as I don't have the magazine.
Y2Kev said:Those details sound dumb. Like...really? lol
randomwab said:I agree, I'm really hope there details aren't real. They just sound so......I don't know, they just don't sound right.

Puck said:Fuck.
They () were the main part of Bioshock to me. They were just so twisted and fun, and yet so protective and caring of little sistersbig daddies
Firestorm said:Did this just turn into generic fps #7?
Ok, thats cool.monkspider said:Here is an alternative retelling of the Game Informer article that backs up some points and has a few other pieces of info.
"- Takes place 7 years after the original. The main character is Jake Abbott, a private investigator searching for one of the girls kidnapped by Big Sister.
- Two-player co-op is added.
- New enemies include spliced up dogs and bipedal robots, which like other mechanical enemies can be hacked to assist the player.
- Two of the new plasmids were revealed. One slows down time for a few seconds. The more interesting one is Telepathy, which you can use to eavesdrop on the thoughts of NPCs and gain information. For example, you can use Telepathy to uncover the combination to a keypad or gain insights into enemy weaknesses which translate into damage bonuses and new tonics.
- Epic boss battles and underwater gameplay. Much of Rapture is now flooded and you will need to don a diving suit to explore these areas as well as venture outside Rapture itself. An underwater boss fight was shown with a gigantic squid, which can cloak itself and use its massive tentacles to smash into Rapture and hurl debris. One of the concept artworks hinted at a boss battle with a mutated, spliced rhino in Rapture's zoo.
- Jake won't be the only one investigating Rapture. At some point in the story, Soviet agents arrive from a submarine, hoping to acquire Adam and use it to gain an advantage over the Americans in the Cold War. Soviet enemies will be much smarter than splicers, using cover and flanking maneuvers and working in groups. As the game progresses they will begin splicing themselves and be able to use plasmids against you. The Soviets and splicers will fight against each other and the player can use that to their advantage. "

Spoo said:Is it possible that some of the game may be just detective work, trying to track down the "kidnappers" and, eventually, following one into Rapture? Who knows
