Rumors on 2K Marin's BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams began swirling about the 2K Games forums today, flooding the board with supposed details on the BioShock sequel. Too bad they were mostly bunk.

2K and Game Informer both responded, saying the rumors that BioShock 2 would be Big Daddy-free were untrue. The rest of the details? Also lies. Big Daddies will be making another appearance in the sequel.

How?

You play as a Big Daddy.

In fact, you're the first of the lot, a so-called "renegade" Big Daddy who's on the hunt for a Little Sister of his own, according to a tipster who has the new Game Informer magazine in hand. You'll take out rival Daddies with your huge hand-drill and plasmid powers, claiming their wee sidekicks as your own. Similar to the first BioShock, you can choose to either harvest your Little Sister prize for ADAM or you can adopt her as your own.

That Little Sister comes in handy. She'll harvest ADAM from corpses strewn about Rapture, acting as a warning sign for when the Big Sisterâ€"the lithe, lightning fast enemy who will hunt your character throughout the gameâ€"has you in her sights. Based on her description, it sounds like she'll one hell of a fight.

From what we've heard, players will have access to all the things that made the Big Daddy such a menace in BioShock, with the character upgrades and options available in the first game expanded to keep things interesting. More details can be found in the new issue of Game Informer, which will be appearing in subscriber hands any second now.

Yeah I don't believe much of what I hear from this game anymore, until I actually see proof. Too many rumors on the net, don't wanna get my hopes up for anything.

If this is true, I hope that you don't get the thudding sound everytime you walk. That got annoying after a while.

Chances are you probably will. It's a signature sound from the Big Daddies while they walk so...

Game Informer's BioShock 2 cover story is slowly making their way to subscribers, and the real details are far more exciting than the fantasy. Players take control of the very first Big Daddy, and will be able to use plasmids while still donning its iconic drill. Your quest will have you confronting other Big Daddies and a familiar moral dilemma: do you harvest the Little Sisters or do you adopt them?

Sorry friend, repost. Of a sort.

http://www.overclock.net/video-game-...g-daddies.html

None the less, this is interesting.

EDIT: Is it a repost if it has a different source...?

Wait...if this is set after Bioshock 1, how can we pilot the first big daddy?

I don't get it unless it's really set before the old one...

Yes it is a repost, but its kinda unfair since the thread title really had nothing to do with the content inside it :-/
