Bioshock 2 (Updated) - Games

:siren: [B]1 day left until Bioshock 2[/B] :siren: [IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f172/Rainhorror/Heroes/Bioshock-2-Photos-Header-2.jpg[/IMG] [I][B]"BioShock 2[/B][/I] is the sequel to [I][URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/BioShock"]BioShock[/URL][/I], and is designed to continue the grand storyline of the underwater metropolis, [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Rapture"]Rapture[/URL]. It is scheduled for release February 9, 2010. [I]BioShock 2[/I] will capitalize and improve upon the high-quality effects, unique gameplay elements, and immersive atmosphere that defined the first game. It has been confirmed that [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Irrational_Games/2K_Australia"]Irrational Games[/URL] is not developing the game. Instead, [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/2K_Marin"]2K Marin[/URL] is the developing team. Initially, a spokesperson for 2K Games[URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/BioShock_2#cite_note-1"][2][/URL] stated that the "Sea of Dreams" subtitle had been dropped. It was revealed that the subtitle was simply the title of the first teaser trailer, and not a subtitle for the game." -[I]Taken from the Bioshock wiki[/I] [U][B]Information about the game:[/B][/U] Developer: 2K(Singleplayer), Digital Extremes (Multiplayer) Engine: Modified Unreal Engine 2.5 Release: February 9, 2010 (although originally set for November 11, 2009) Platforms: 360, PS3 and PC [U][B]Multiplayer:[/B][/U] -One of the many new features in Bioshock 2 is the Multiplayer Mode. -The multiplayer experience is set a year before the events of the first Bioshock in the time period of Rapture's Civil War. -The story to the multiplayer is that the player is a product tester for [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Sinclair_Solutions"]Sinclair Solutions[/URL]. -There will also be no support for local matches due to 'time constraints' in the development of the multiplayer. -There will be 6 characters for you to choose from unless you pre-ordered the game (then you get 2 additional characters to choose from). -The multiplayer will have character advancement in the form of leveling up, ADAM rewards and trials. -There will be several different game modes included in Bioshock 2's multiplayer which are: [B]Survival of the Fittest [/B] Survival of the Fittest is the basic free-for-all deathmatch mode: each player is tasked with killing all other players as often as possible. The player with the most kills by the end of the match wins the game. [B] Civil War [/B] Civil War is the game's team deathmatch mode: players are split into two teams, and each team is tasked with killing as many players of the other team as possible. The team with the most kills by the end of the match wins. [B] Last Splicer Standing [/B] Last Splicer Standing is the game's "arena" mode. Like Survival of the Fittest, it is free-for-all and requires each player to kill the other players. However, players in this game mode do not respawn upon death. This means the winner is, effectively, the last [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Splicer"]Splicer[/URL] standing. This is the only game mode where it is impossible to find a [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Daddy_Suit"]Big Daddy Suit[/URL] in the level. [B] Turf War [/B] Turf War is the game's "King of the Hill" mode: players are split into two teams, and are tasked with capturing and holding the control points present in the level. A player in proximity of a neutral or enemy control point will gradually charge up a meter, which will earn their team the control point if it fills up completely. The team who managed to maintain control over the most points for the longest amount of time by the end of the match wins. [B]Capture the Sister [/B] Capture the Sister is [I]BioShock 2'[/I]s take on Capture the Flag: players are split into two teams, with one of the players on one team chosen at random to become a Big Daddy. One of the two teams is in possession of a [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Little_Sister"]Little Sister[/URL], which they must protect, while the other team's base holds a [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Little_Sister_Vent"]Little Sister Vent[/URL]. The objective of the game is to either capture the Little Sister and bring her to the Vent as many times as possible, or prevent the enemy from doing so. Teams' roles are switched mid-round, so that the attacking team has to defend and vice-versa. The team with the most captures by the end of the round wins. [B] ADAM Grab [/B] [URL="http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/ADAM"]ADAM[/URL] Grab is a unique game mode: there is one Little Sister in the level, and each player is tasked with capturing and keeping her for as long as possible, earning ADAM continuously in the process. The player who managed to keep the Little Sister for the longest amount of time wins. [B] Team ADAM Grab [/B] Team ADAM Grab is the team-based variant to ADAM Grab: players are split into teams, and have to capture and keep the Little Sister in the level for as long as possible. Every member of the team currently in possession of the Little Sister will receive an ADAM income. The team who managed to keep the Little Sister for the longest amount of time wins.

Your name is 'Subject Delta' * Harvest the Little Sisters or let them collect ADAM from corpses. * The game is set 10 years after the first BioShock. * The Big Sisters are grown-up Little Sisters, and they're hunting you. * The Big Sister will periodically pop up after you kill enough Big Daddies or adopt Little Sisters. Her arrival is apparently signaled by a Little Sister singing a song or a Little Sister stating "[I]Mr. B, Mr. B... Big Sister doesn't want you playing with me...[/I]" * A Big Sister is described as fast and "the hardest enemy in the game." She'll utilize telekinesis to throw objects at you or use them as shields. * You can use all the weapons that regular Big Daddies can use, such as the drill although fuel is required. * Upgrade trees are now more diverse. * Elemental plasmids (Incinerate!, Electro Bolt, Winter Blast) can now be combined with Cyclone Trap to create different types of traps that will have different effects on the enemy who walked onto the trap. * You can now heal damaged turrets and bots. * The game will reveal how Adam is recovered from Little Sisters. :siren: [B]Feel free to suggest changes or note something that I have missed, as I will try to keep this thread updated.

The copy protection sounds like a real bitch, hopefully the game will work my mind past that.

Preordered a few hours ago :dance: Downloading Bioshock 1 right now :D Can't wait.

Would you kindly... Powerful phrase... Familiar phrase..?

I pre-ordered this, mainly because someone stole some money from my wallet so I couldn't afford AVP, getting Bioshock 1 for free was pretty awesome too.

Can't wait. Tuesday, man.

I hope we can pre-load it on Steam.

[QUOTE=DireAvenger;20053660]The copy protection sounds like a real bitch, hopefully the game will work my mind past that.[/QUOTE] it's funny because the XBOX version has already been leaked.

[QUOTE=Foda;20054397]it's funny because the XBOX version has already been leaked.[/QUOTE] The only protection on the xbox version is having to play it on a disk. Oh and the game was handed out to gaming magazines/websites today.

I couldnt find a 4-pack group, I preordered just now.

[QUOTE=Hawkfight207;20055338]I couldnt find a 4-pack group, I preordered just now.[/QUOTE] We had trouble finding a fourth until yesterday.
