Not much to comment on here. GameTrailers got the exclusive on the first gameplay footage from BioShock 2, so watch the video below, or hit the High Def link in the player to head over to their site and look at a bigger, prettier version.

  



Truthfully, I'm refraining from saying much here because we got a look at BioShock 2 ourselves recently and are under obligation not to discuss it just yet. So, hey, what do you think about this footage?

It looks a lot like Bioshock.

If GiantBomb were BioShock Ryan and Jeff would be Big Daddies and Vinny and Brad would be Little Sisters.

Looks pretty cool... Not as excited to play the game as the first though.

I don't know what I was expecting, but the footage looks so similar to Bioshock 1 that I am less excited now then before I watched the footage.

Actually it makes no sense. Why does he have a drill and a gun on the same arm?

Are you allowed to say when you could discuss the things you've seen?
More pertinent to the video, I wish they would've shown something more substantial in this first gameplay video. And I was wondering, why is it that the audio diary pickup sound played when the player was contacted by Tenenbaum? One other thing I noticed is that a theme from the original game was used in the second clip.
Also, I'm sick of "GT WORLD EXCLUSIVES". I want to see this trailer on my big HDTV, not my computer monitor. I want to download it on XBLM. Well, enough complaining though. This looks great, and I can't wait to see more.

while i feel the sequel is kinda forced, i must say that those underwater effects are pretty awesome.

I'm pretty sure the graffiti on the wall says "We will be reborn in the womb of the ocean." Right?

Do you guys have to support GameTrailers? le sigh. Compressed, shit quality put up by a bung of idiots obsessed with the female body.
You guys better have a quick look for this game when its release comes up! And it better be like, an hour long. Looks so kick ass, but I hope they make the drill melee more then just a punch. I want gore, I want drilling, I want bad ass chainsaw equivalince!

And JESUS. the underwater part looks incredible. If this game doesn't have like, characters actually getting wet (ie Drakes Fortune) and geometric, dynamic water surfaces. The first game had great water, but it wasn't dynamic or anything.

I looks EXACTLY like the first Bioshock, hopefully this isn't just a rushed sequel. I mean, come on, at least try to make the game look a little better.

It looks like Bioshock(1) minus the awesome story and cool effects of having bees come straight out of your arm.  Seriously Bioshock might be my favorite game of all time but this just doesn't look that great.  This seems like some stupid idea a little kid had after playing Bioshock for ten minutes.  I hope I'm wrong.

I kinda don't want to go back to Rapture.  I loved Bioshock but I feel like to see the same setting again will make it get older a bit quicker. 

However if they address enough little stuff, and overall just improve the feel of the shooting (which I can even see from the trailer), then I'm all for it.  I feel like they could take the concept further and if the setting is the thing that stays the same, fine with me.
