We FINALLY got the invite up to 2K Games Marin to talk to the BioShock 2 team, and what better timing than a week away from the game’s release on Feb. 9. We certainly gathered by your abundance of Tweets that excitement for BioShock 2 is crazy high. So on Monday, I sat down with Senior Producer Melissa Miller and Lead Environment Artist Hogarth de la Plante (with a chillingly lifelike Little Sister standing eerily behind us) who answered a heap of your questions – so many in fact that we had to split the video into two parts.
So today, you’ll see part one that focuses primarily on BioShock 2‘s single-player campaign, including details on story development, philosophical influence, plasmids and much more. And head on back tomorrow for part two, which delves deep into the much-anticipated multiplayer mode.
360 version videos?
this is a playstation website so no 360 version videos. and plus i doubt the games are going to be that different between consoles. i cant wait for this game to come out
gg on playing the 360 version guys.
@2
The videos ARE from the Xbox 360 version, thats what i was saying
First post that didn’t mention the 360.
Seriously, though, February 9th can’t come soon enough. If this game is only half as good as the first, it’ll still be amazing.
I’m also looking forward to hearing more about the multiplayer modes, as I’m not totally sold on that aspect of the game just yet.
oh ok then my bad i didnt know.
I wish this game didn’t have lame multi-player trophies that made you grind to Level 40 to gain a platinum.
Any word on a demo for tomorrow or next week? I am very careful before I spend $60 on a game before I’ve tried it.
@7 what game are you talking about…bioshock doesnt have character leveling
I’m also very skeptical on the multiplayer modes. It will be good if done the right way.
your video player sucks on firefox btw
@9 Don’t bother commenting if you have absolutely no idea what the game you’re talking about has to offer.
360 footage? that doesn’t bode well with me i hope were not getting an inferior port i mean this is the playstation blog the least you can do is show us ps3 version. I have the game pre-ordered but will have no problem canceling or trading it in if i find out you made a masterwork for the 360 then just slapped this one together with some tape and bubble gum (i’m looking at you bayonetta)
Why does the video show the 360 version guys………
Maybe they only have 360 version videos because that is probably the only “official” footage released from the developers. I may be wrong but I don’t think they even showed exclusive PS3 footage. No, I don’t believe it will be an inferior port (what about the job they did with the original?). You can’t hate on them for their 360 origins.
Bioshock is probably the best FPS I’ve played since Half Life 2… you guys have got big shoes to fill.
Still, I can’t wait to get my hands on this one.
I think certain footage is from PS3 and other footage is from 360. Although, this being a Sony site, always an odd choice to include footage running on the competition’s system. At least blur out the controls.
Either way, the game will be brilliant on both systems I’m sure.
We got a bunch of unspecified footage from 2K, and yes, apparently from both versions, which I was unaware of. For the most part the footage is platform-agnostic, so it really shouldn\’t matter but I apologize for the first version. Should be pretty much good to go now. Thank you all for catching those few bits.
