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.

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!

"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.

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

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 hope the game looks like that, i'm not convinced until I see gaemplay, i'm going to eat paste from a jar, actual fucking paste. "
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.

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...

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

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

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.
