I must admit, when a BioShock sequel was announced I had my doubts. I thought “how can they take such an unbelievably beautiful design and masterfully written storyline and make it better? What can 2K do to one-up themselves with the city known to fans as ‘Rapture’?” Well, kiddies, I give you BioShock 2. Big Daddies and Little Sisters return, amongst new and old friends and foes, to welcome you back to the city below the Atlantic.

What made this game so amazing? Well let’s start with the fact that you are no longer just a man. You are a Big Daddy! How bad-ass is that? Known only as Subject Delta, and thought to be dead, you return and begin your search for the Little Sister that was bonded to you ten years earlier. This particular little sister is immensely important to Rapture as she is being bred to be a “Utopian” or “the People’s Daughter,” somewhat based on Fontaine’s creation. Her name is Eleanor Lamb, biological daughter of Dr. Sofia Lamb, who just so happens to be the games primary antagonist. DUN DUN DUN!!! Ten years ago, Sofia orchestrated the abduction of Eleanor. During the event, Delta was hypnotized and forced to kill himself by removing his helmet and shooting himself with a pistol. Sofia took control of Rapture and all that is within after Andrew Ryan was murdered.

After a push and shove, 2K Games has finally revealed when BioShock 2 will hit store shelves, Feb 9, 2010.  All the hidden messages left on their website had to have this information somewhere. What we do know is the game takes place 10 years after the original BioShock. What happened in between?

If you weren’t pumped at the prospect of filling the shoes of a Big Daddy in BioShock 2, then please allow this 10 minute gameplay video to officially blow your mind!

In the latest video to come out of 2K Games, we not only get to see BioShock 2 in action, but we also learn a little bit about the Big Daddy we’ll all be playing the role of.  It seems this Big Daddy isn’t like the others.  This one of a kind Big Daddy can not only use Plasmids, but he is also a free thinker.  The gameplay of BioShock 2 will change a bit as well.  In the original BioShock, you had to be wary of enemy splicers as fighting them head on could result in an early grave.  Since you’re the Big Daddy, you are more powerful than the splicers, so they will regularly group up to try to take you down.

There are a couple of more new gamplay elements introduced in this video.  Why should I spoil all the fun? Put your phone on vibrate, your IM client on away, and enjoy 10 minutes of BioShock 2 gameplay footage.

GameInformer’s April cover shows the recently rumored Big Sister making her debut.  Within the magazine, there will be a 10-page spread with tons of exclusive info and art on the return to Rapture. As the player returns the underwater city, the Big Sister awaits you.

We’re excited for this upcoming title, and we’ll be sure to follow this story as more news/teasers are released.  Oh and by the way, Yes, there IS a new teaser on Bioshock 2’s site.

There’s no doubt that Somethinginthesea is trying to tell us something.  Over the past couple of days, we’ve seen more “clues” on the site, that lead many people to believe there could be a Big Daddy = Big Sister sighting.  There’s also several hints showing us “red lights” in the water.  Could it be blood?  Could it be an alien spacecraft?  Red dye #2?

The pic above remind us that there IS some sort of pattern.  I haven’t picked up on it yet, what do you guys think?

Leaving us with very little, you can see that the Bioshock 2 teaser has hit the web.  Displaying 3 pictures, you can see a miniature doll looking like a LBP sackboy using a baseball for a head and push pins as part of the mask.  Just taking small notes I picked up on, you can see the letter was dated in 1967, 7 years AFTER Bioshock 1.  So we at least “think”, it’s not a prequel.  Check out the teaser here.  http://somethinginthesea.com/
