A Look At Rapture, A Decade Later

Yay for 2K Australia

"Was that bit about the embrago lifting meant for public consumption?  Also:  Would you kindly...turn up the gamma correction?  I cant see a damn thing....  =\ "

I hope they take out than re-spawning chamber mechanic from the first game, and actually make this one a solid PFS experience.

do want do want

I don't think Bioshock 2 has any reason to exist other than to fill 2K's pockets....
I won't be buying this game.

To the people crying nonsense about sheep, step up to the plate and say what actually looks good/improved about these trailers. BioShock was not just decent, it was incredible, and BioShock 2 from all indications isn't even trying to reach that level, let alone surpass it. This example is probably getting used way too often, but look at Uncharted's progression in comparison with this.
 
It will sell but from this gamer's point of view, if it looks like a duck, and it smells like a duck, it's probably...

  and the shooting mechanic was weak in the first one, and hopefully will be so here. that's not what bioshock is about.
and that's what they're showing us.  cause there's no way they can divulge much of any story.
and everyone's saying meh.
hmm. it makes enough sense.

i think they just suck at makin movies. 
 
the first one never had these combat game shorts, just that BADass cinematic.. if i remember correctly.
 
i mean... look at some of those cuts. that's a weird time to show him freezing the security thing.
 
great music though. ..
 
and yeah andeez is 110% correct.

Very nice music.

Of course there is no NEED for a 2nd game, the 1st is still awesome and it wrapped everything up.  But do I want another Bioshock game, absolutely.  Hopefully they will realize, as has been said, that the story, characters and environment are what made the 1st game, not the shooting.  If they give me more of that, and their incredible scripted events, I am more than sold.

The Spear gun/Rocket Spear looks fun, sticking people to walls but I was under the assumption that ONE Big Sister would be stalking and harassing you throughout the game but it turns out that there are multiple Big Sisters and the big bad villain this time around is...............Andrew Ryan's political rival ?!?!? REALLY?  That would be who is narrating the trailer.

The story in the first one really drew me in. This one however I have no clue what's going on, and playing as "the first" big Daddy makes no sense since it's 10 years after the first one. I don't know. I wanna play it, but it might be a rental.

I expect that this game will not blow me away in the same way that Bioshock did, but it still looks really, really good.

Fuckin dragon age trailer, right when i thought we were done with that whole odst thing. Are there gonna be mw2 ones after this? Seperately, so stoked for this

Eh... I don't know about this one. 

" Did anybody else notice at the end of the video, how there were about 5 studios listed in the credits??? "

I'm not quite understanding the people who are pissing and moaning about "more of the same look." ... You're aware you're in the same location, right? Not much is going to change...
 
Having said that, I'm becoming increasingly sure that the lofty expectations I have coming out of the first game will not be met by this one. The eerie mystery of "what the fuck is going on here" just doesn't seem like the focus from all these trailers. Story and atmosphere, not shooting, made the first one. I hope and pray they realized that while working on this one.
 
Case in point, anyone remember the CG trailer of the first one? You remember how amazingly stoked that made you? I have yet to get that from any of the footage I've seen for this one. 
 
But, it's Bioshock, and the first one may very well be my favorite game of this generation, so I'll be buying it day one.

Looks fantastic!!!

Nice to see gameplay videos of the SINGLEPLAYER....not the horrid looking Multiplayer. I know Multi is special for some players...but really, the singleplayer is what makes Bioshock stand out from other FPSes.
 
Why does there always have to be a british womans voice though??

Meh?  Game looks awesome, you guys need to quit being sheep.

It is amazing how quickly it became so popular and trendy to hate on this, a sequel to an all-time classic, before there was almost any hard information released on it. A handful of "celebrity" video game "journalists" such as Gerstmann came out on their pedestals attacking it on podcasts from day one and all of these mindless sheep have jumped on the bandwagon. It's a shame really and pretty embarrassing for the industry as a whole the way they have reacted to even the mention of a sequel. It looks good.

Not feeling it.. first one was great but this just isn't capturing it for me.

I'll admit, it looks damn good. However, I'm still not convinced that there needed to be another BioShock game. The first was amazing in its own right and didn't need a sequel.

Looking at that it reminds me of a mod or a deathmatch mode for the original Bioshock, nothing other that being able to walk in area filled with water and some new enermies screams something different that should be in a sequal.

Meh, I felt the original was vastly over hyped, and this just looks like more of the same. I'll probably just get it on steam if/when it drops below £10.

I'll buy it.

Thats pretty rad.  Makes me wish I finished the original Bioshock 

I'm not really liking how combat oriented this game looks.

Not a great trailer, the combat wasn't exactly the highpoint of the original.

Oh look, it's the Tank from Left 4 Dead. I wonder how he got down there.

I think it looks pretty good. Will it live up to the first game? I don't know, probably not. How many games are actually on the same level of quality as Bioshock? Not too many. But I am excited to play this game and I'm going to remain optimistic about the game until I get my hands on it and actually play it myself.

" Interesting but...now we have a countdown until the embargo lifts? "

This trailer actually made me more excited for the game. I've been pretty indifferent towards it since the concept was first shown. I loved the first game, and I thought a sequel would be great if done right, and by "right", I mean expanding on the ideas and themes from the first game and actually having a sense of progression from story to story. The fact that the sequel is still taking place in Rapture doesn't excite me much. My biggest concern is that the game will feel almost exactly like the first due to the environments. And while that is still true now, the gameplay shown in this trailer looks a lot better than what was shown previously. Hopefully this game will be everything it should be.

I feel really bad for saying this, but i'm not feeling this at all. Part of me really wants to explore more of rapture, but everything gameplay about this really turns me off. Show me some story, some THEME. Not just a bunch of shooting. I didn't play Bioshock to shoot things.

I don't understand the people who say that they're going to ruin Bioshock  with this game. If you don't like it, you don't have to play it, it doesn't make the first one worse. Everybody acts like they own Bioshock but it's still the same people so I don't see why it would be bad.

I have to agree with all the others saying "Meh". I just am not feeling this, granted, the first was a good, solid game, I didn't get the huge wow factor everyone else got, and I just didn't think it was that great. So this looks pretty much the same, so I just can't get excited for it.

Looks wetter.

The trailer looked pretty sweet, though the woman voiceover doesn't nearly give as many chills down my spine as Andrew Ryan's voice did.
