BioShock 2 Interviews and Early Looks

Parz writes with word that new information is emerging about the much-anticipated BioShock 2. Eurogamer has a detailed write-up about the game, saying that it raises curiosity and exhibits plot-depth in a manner similar to the first game. Gamespot has a video interview with some of the developers, in which they talk about some of the new environments and how they're able to do more with the story in a sequel by not having to explain the fundamental characteristics of the setting. In an interview with Gameplayer, Lead Level Architect Hogarth de la Plante said, "You'll see locations in BioShock 2 that are completely flooded interior structures that you can walk through out in the ocean." A gameplay trailer was recently released, and screenshots are available as well.

    The game presupposes that taking Objectivism to it's full potential leads only to collapse and failure.

    Thanks for the quick recap. +5 Informative. You just sparked my interest in the story. Anyone who rips on Rand's philosophy is cool with me.

    Then again, every economic philosophy leads to collapse at some point, depending on your definition of collapse. We're all dead in the long run, right? Even if the Chinese become the next superpower it's just a question of "For how long?" After all, world population can't keep doubling ad infinitum, we will run out of resources at some point.
