Who else thinks BioShock 2 will be a huge flop? I know I do.

Harharhar, you're a funny man!

:P

Seriously, though, nah, this looks like a poor clone of the original with a Big Daddy mod.

I just watched the first 5 minutes...

I don't like to watch the beginning of games, especially after how awesome the first was, but I seriously needed some convincing with this one. I heard it's not quite on par with the opening of the original, so I didn't feel too dirty. And boy, they were right.

You're not missing much if you don't watch it. A crappy beginning and a game that feels like a bad version of the prior game. It just seems so... meh.

I'm pretty sure we talked about Bio 2 a year or longer ago...it took awhile, but it seems you now agree with what I was saying back then. Maybe it wasn't you, but it was a long time ago. What I do remember is that I was the only one on the SW board expressing worry for the game. It seems my worries have been somewhat legitimate...of course, I'm still going to wait for the game before I make any bold proclamations.

Let me be clear, I only have been worried based on what we know about the game, different team, refusal to help, delay's, etc. It still can shape up nicely though.

I remember a horde of users all on my butt about my worry for Bio 2, so this isn't good from where I'm sitting.
I actually want the game to be fantastic...at least it's not my username.:P

I would wait though to say much until it's out, since 5 mins of gameplay from an unfinished game isn't the best way to determine the games' future.

Why the irony? :|

Yeah, I could see it flopping. I hope not because I loved BioShock, but something about the sequel screams mediocre.

are you serious? this has to be the biggest cry for attention i've heard in a while.

teh_shogun

Yeah, a huge BioShock fan trolling the second one and wanting it to fail... errr, no. :| It just doesn't look nearly as good the more I see of it.

Btw, I remember your gamertag, didn't you used to be 'LeGoofyGoober' on Gamespot? :) Just wondering.

This first one bored me like hell, I expect nothing good from the series myself.

first one wasnt great either, so im not surporised this one looks bad.

Meh. I didn't like the first and this looks far worse.aaronmullan

But how can anyone be hyped for anything when they know that Mass Effect 2 is coming out soon.

I'm still a little lost on everyone judging the game by this video. This isn't even five minutes of gameplay, it's 1:30 of the intro and loading screens, with 3:16 of what looks like tension building.

I can understand some of the comments if you simply didn't enjoy the first game, but this isn't putting me off at all.

The first one was mediocre, don't care what happens to the sequel.

I didn't watch it, but I have a question, why dumbing down System Shock (2) is so popular this gen? (Dead Space, BioShock)...Salt_The_Fries

While I understand the similarities between Bioshock and System Shock 2, it's probably time to stop beating this drum. It's been over a decade since SS2 was released,most gamers don't remember SS or SS2 at all.

Similar or not, I still enjoyed the first and will probably enjoy the second just as much if not more.

its gonna be a good game but some stuff in that game is just lame i mean seriesly big sisters? it seems the devs ran out of the ideas

I thought bioshock one was terrible overrated and I didn't really enjoy it, I am going to assume the same for 2 and just pass.

I didn't like the first one very overatted. Second one looks nothing special.

Wow I'm so glad FORTUNE TELLERS exist

Ratatouille

UP

Toy story 2

Toy story 1

You know what those films have in common? Bad trailers.

Yet they turned out great. So really just shut up and wait till the game comes out and decide for yourself

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both Dead Space, and BioShock :). However, I'm slightly worried about the sequel not delivering...Salt_The_Fries

Please don't get me wrong either. I understand what you're saying. The joke was that Bioshock was a remake of SS2, right down to the crappy ending, it's just that it got out of hand. If I saw one more thread comparing the two I thought I was going to throw up.

For me, Bioshock's atmosphere was enough to take me away from the SS2 mindset, and I really enjoyed it as a result. I'm not too worried about this one taking a dive either. A lot of the new twists should prove interesting once we see how it all plays out.

i really enjoyed the first one...second looks good, too. day one purchase for me.

An older video shows the same scene, and when the BD awakes Tenenbaum contacts him. I'm also sure he called that Little Sister from her lair.

So this was a crap video that skipped some pretty important parts.

Well the graphics suck but the game might be good.

TBH, I only had to play the demo of the first one to know I didn't like the game and the second one isn't even on my radar.

I hated the first Bioshock but I think Bioshock 2 looks better than the original. I don't think it'll get AAA, but standards rise with years and B2 doesn't do much new.

It's got a forced multiplayer mode. That says enough about how this one was made with a "whats trendy" check list.

they tacked it on for the sake of having it.Animal-Mother

I'm not so sure this is the case. Maybe it is, I haven't played it. But they made the actual mode a part of the game's story lore, which I find to be rather creative. But we'll see. I'll give it a rent and see how the MP actually is before making any more judgement on it.

Bread_or_Decide

Define "forced multiplayer."

As long as it doesn't cut into the campaign, I don't see how adding multiplayer to the game is a bad thing.

Nice try but you FAILED...nothing will stop me from get this awesome game.

What? A guy with the name "BioshockOwnz" not looking forward to an upcomingBioshock game? haha jk

ON TOPIC: Yes, the video does not make me any interested in this game at all.

Jandurin

I am assuming he means that the multiplayer is being "forced" by the developers... as in; they are applying it to a game in which the style probably wont gell to competetive multiplayer, or the multiplayer its self is just an afterthought by the developers who are making it in an attempt to garner higher sales, or both, hence the "check list" comment.

Maybe he meant something else but that was the impression I got.
