Nice, the L4D2 DLC is finally here. I see they went for the 50s theme and gave the tank a stylish outfit. Man can he throw that rubble further than ever! Pretty cool how coach is now in a bioshock style divers suit. Also, Rochelle is alot smaller than i remember - and whiter.

I like how they made the little sister a lot cuter and believable this time.

The recent boxart comparison between Bioshock 2 and "Bomberman 2" has rendered me incapable of taking this game seriously.

If that was the gameplay engine I'd buy it... but I think we're a whole generation away from that sort of beauty.

Let me guess, big sister used to be little sister and after not being able to reintegrate into the surface world decided to go back "home" whilst bringing along a couple of new girls for company? And may be in the end you find out that the big daddy is her, you know actual daddy? Or somethin'. Sigh...

Then keep hoping. Well I still don't care for there being a sequel but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and just rent it.

You know I wasn't too excited for this game, but now I am pumped.  Of course the game won't look this good but fuck that was intense.

I loved the first Bioshock.  Absolutely loved it.  But I just can't get myself excited for the sequal.  I've lost interest.

Arrrgh, now I wish games could actually have this level of graphical oomph... thanks, bioshock 2 cg trailer, thanks a lot for making me slightly annoyed at the graphical prowess of my PS3.

"I just don't understand why in the fuck I would want to fast forward to ten years in the future of Bioshock. If this was ten years prior, I'd be all for it. It could be a very damn exciting game if you could see Rapture in its prime and watch the disintigration -- instead of "here's rapture when it's shit -- and now here's rapture when it's even shittier shit!".  Don't get me wrong, I've got it arriving on launch day and all . . . but I don't see why I'm supposed to be all that excited about them going in the wrong direction with the timeline. "


well, guess what if you play the multiplayer you'll get what you want. Rapture in all of its Glory..... then you get to be part of its downfall. 
 
BTW I'm sure they went 10 years into the future so the new charaters growth could be completely fulfilled. 
 
also.... you think going forward is the wrongway? hhhhmmm   I personally would rather see what happens not what happened. thats what flash backs are for.

CG trailer = irrelevant 
 
Honestly these CG trailers I think are borderline false advertising.   But what ever, I know I can tell the difference,  and there just doing what bioshock 1 did so go for it marketing team.   But some of you seem to be putty in the marketers hands ohhing and ahhing at this CG trailer.  They gotcha!

For a CG trailer, very impressive. Reminded me strongly of the first game's CG trailer. I'm glad that Sophia Lamb is getting voice-over time, to build her into a overarching figure similar to Ryan. Interested to see where this goes.

Meh- it's CG.
It would be cool if it looked like that though.
Fingers crossed for Bioshock 3.

The trailer looks very pretty but it also seems to fail to capture a lot of what made the first game great...

Best part about Bioshock was the atmosphere, and adding to that just makes me want the second one. For those who aren't sure whether to like or dislike the sequel, I'm sure the creators are well aware of that, so they have probably done everything in the way of helping you want to like it. Which, I don't don't think they'll fail at.

Not sure if this is a buy or not. I loved the first and am not particularly opposed to there being another one, but still, not sure.

I dont get it, its Bioshock 2 and people can only shit on it. As long as they built upon the engine from the first game it'll be great. Too fucking bad, sequels happen when games are good. Are you gonna shit all over the next batman game too, Rocksteady was unproven before Batman:AA so give the new dev(s) a chance.

I didn't play Bioshock for the gameplay, I played it for the story. The gameplay was still fun and fresh but it was the story  that compelled me to keep playing...  They did a good job on this trailer but the games story still looks completely uncompelling. I guess I'm in the "this game does not need a sequel" camp...
