Bioshock 2 Trailer Released, Platform Information Revealed

arcticstoat writes "If you've played Bioshock, you'll know it can be a tough choice deciding whether you're going to kill the cute (yet evil looking) Little Sisters and extract their ADAM, or let them live. Your choice even affects whether you're given one of three possible endings of the game, and their story will now continue to be told in the sequel. 2K Games has just released a trailer for the new game, showing what appears to be a grown up Little Sister, still clutching a toy, while the city structure of Rapture springs up around her. No gameplay is shown, but it does give a hint as to what the game will be about, and it looks as though the game may take you onto dry land." Gamespot initially confirmed the trailer's authenticity after it was leaked last week. A representative from 2K Games also mentioned Bioshock 2 was "destined for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms."

    I thought it was to get me so sick of hearing about the game that by the time it was released I was more than happy to wait for the price to drop $30 before purchasing it. I guess I've been doing it wrong.

    The hardest part of playing Bioshock was having to go through all those DNA tests to ensure that I was the one who purchased and opened the retail box before it would let me play. Then there was that whole thing about pouring gasoline over the second CD drive in my machine.

      Apparently they're going to make the DRM less intrusive on this one. They've just written on the disc 'Would you kindly not pirate this game'.

    I loved BioShock, as some have already mentioned, because of the atmosphere it generated. I know some people don't care at all, and simply run through every game they play, but I loved the fear and apprehension they included in the game as you start to learn about Rapture.

    This teaser definitely appeals to me since I have a Little Sister themed ring tone and notification message on my cell phone. And yes, I may be a little disturbed.

      I'm not sure what you'd have for a ringtone, but I'm tempted to sample 'Mr Bubbles! Mr Bubbles, wake up!' for my alarm sound.

    The GP just says that when given the choice between killing a child and not killing a child the choice ain't hard. Any sane person would conclude that the person did NOT kill the child.

    Really? Because if you save them, you're missing out on a whole lot of Adam. I tried saving a few of them to see what the reward for being good was; the 'hypnotise Big Daddy' was useful occasionally, but on the whole I prefer to take the Adam and spend it on what I want, rather than letting it go in the hope of getting hand-outs later. I mean, am I not entitled to the sweat of my brow?

    Yes, well, murder is like that. You try to tell the jury about all the people your *didn't* kill, but they still end up focusing on the people you did murder... no matter how small the number.
