You Won’t See BioShock 2′s Twist Coming
Bioshock was certainly one of the best games introduced to the current generation–with the introduction of ‘Big Daddy,’ fans couldn’t wait for the unique sequel. Developer 2K has recently revealed how BioShock 2‘s storyline will surprise fans.
2K‘s Kent Hudson spoke to IGN in an interview, guaranteeing on how BioShock’s 2 plot twist will leave you shocked as you “won’t see it coming”.
There are definitely some things that I guarantee are going to surprise players, and in different ways than the first game. It’s not the kind of thing where you look at it and say, ‘Well, the first game had this one twist so this game’s got to have the same twist.’ No; you’re not going to see it coming, what happens in this game, and it’s very different than how it worked out in BioShock 1.
The system designer also commented on the sequel’s final stages:
The end-games in BioShock 2, I think… are based on a deeper set of circumstances than just whether or not you harvested or saved these Little Sisters, and there’s also more depth to them and more ways they can go, It’s not just a ‘light ending dark ending’ kind of thing.
In a month brimming with amazing titles, the survival-horror-FPS will be released on February 9 across multiple platforms.

Sweeeeeet! Day1 purchase, by far.
I want this so bad. I am going to have to skip getting MAG and others just to have the money for this one.
When I get the game, I’m gonna pay careful attention to what the people on the radio say to me, keeping an ear out for frequently used phrases. Would you kindly let me know if you notice anything of the sort?
Will I need to have played Bioshock to fully appreciate the story elements of Bioshock 2? Never got around to playing the first one, but I’m most likely going to pick up the new one.
lots of game to play during that month, this one included
Dude. Peroxadic, If you come to pittsburgh right NOW i will let you borrow my copy of Bioshock so you will know the story befroe you play the sequel. You will be walking into a story that has already started, and then be oblivious to the depth that surrounds you as you just bumble around shooting splicers.
It’s like my one friend who only played MGS4 and then complained that there were too many cut scenes…. Needless to say, we’re not friends anymore, haha
@joinsideke – I hope your not serious about no longer being friends over that… although, I had played all 3 before it, and I still felt there were too many cut scenes, not enough gameplay. Sure, explain the story and wrap up the loose ends, but a 1.5 hour long ending?! when theres only like 3, maybe 4 hours of actual gameplay? ridiculous. Ohhh well…
@Peroxadic – I don’t think you will NEED to have played the first, but it will certainly help. There is a whole lot going on in Rapture, and if you care about story lines, its a great one, with a lot of optional back story to uncover. Its seriously still one of my favorite shooters, with a ton of innovative gameplay mechanics. Despite its age, it will not disappoint.
This is one of my most anticipated games of this year. The first one I just saw a commercial and went out and bought it the first day it released and fell in love immediatley. I cannot wait to get to this game, feb 9th cant come soon enough for this title.
Day 1 purchase

No, I’m not really joking. MGS Is my favorite series, and I think the amount of depth the game had with it’s characters is almost unrivaled. While your “1.5 hour ending” is an exaggeration, I CAN understand that some would see it as too much- but for the hordes of fans that have been asking for more, and then all the other people and critics that complained that there were too many unanswered topics…. what were they supposed to do? To me, it was perfectly done, and I’m willing to bet that if you ask people that love the series, the majority of them would whole heartedly agree.
Basically my point is that you can’t walk into a movie 30 min before it ends, and then complain when it’s over that there wasn’t any character development.
but the friends thing was a joke.
