BioShock 2 trailer released, platforms confirmed

By Tor Thorsen, GameSpotPosted Oct 23, 2008 2:36 pm PT

Widely leaked Sea of Dreams spot now officially confirmed by 2K Games, which says sequel is "destined" to be on PC, PS3, and 360.

Last week, a YouTube user posted what he claimed was the teaser trailer for BioShock 2. Allegedly from the just-released PlayStation 3 version of the game, the spot showed a now-older Little Sister holding a doll resembling a big daddy. As she receded into the distance, silhouettes appearing to be art deco skyscrapers rose from the sand before the trailer cuts to a barnacle-encrusted logo for "BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams."

BioShock 2

Sailing the Sea of Dreams...

After being reticent for seven days, today 2K Games finally came clean, releasing the trailer to the public. Viewable and downloadable in HD on GameSpot, the game is also available from the official BioShock 2 site and on Xbox Live Marketplace. Another version will go live on the PlayStation Network sometime today.

Given that the BioShock 2 trailer is available for download on two consoles and the PC, it seems a forgone conclusion that it will be available on all three platforms. However, 2K rep Charlie Sinhaseni was somewhat cagey about the details, saying only "BioShock 2 is destined for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms." Reps would not comment on whether or not the game would be released on all three simultaneously.

    "stoneface1 Posted Jan 13, 2009 5:34 pm GMT i dont know "sea of dreams"? sounds a bit tacky. lets hope this game wont do for biosock what the sequels to the pirates of the carribian movie did for that, e.g. cheapen it." You know what the irony is to that post is? The director of the Pirates films is directing the BioShock movies.

    why the hell should sony get it just because all the original games are on the 360. Most of the ps3 titles are generic shooters like resistance. Seriously cant the 360 get a bit of privacy here? i mean obviously, the pc should get it because it is the supreme gaming platform the ps3 is just a scrape trying to cash in on all of microsofts rape assed games(yes i know it is not made by microsoft)

    If they stick to the same gameplay method, it cant go wrong.

    what has two thumbs and is very excited for this game?
    *points at self*
    This guy. Seriously, I'm pretty pumped about this. I just hope they can live up to the amazing storytelling ability the first game had. It's a tough thing to follow up on, and I'm actually not really sure where you can go with the story after the first one. (Not gonna mention specifics for those who haven't played yet.) I think Bioshock in itself was a great stand-alone title and I can only hope they deliver a game with as great a story as the last one, or at least something close. In terms of gameplay improvements... well, I just hope they tighten up the shooter controls a little bit. Maybe it's just my PC, but I had a hell of a time hitting stuff sometimes. Anyway: here's hopin'. Long live Bioshock.

    Personally, I hope it's not a simultaneous release so they fully finish and polish it for each console. Just my opinion...

    Also i think they could increase the replayability by being able to play as different characters with different abilities. Also so form of multiplayer would be good- separate to the story though.

    I should hang my head in shame for having *STILL* not played the first one. Blame my 360 for chewing up any discs that go anywhere near it... I do...
