2K Marin and 2K Australia is developing BioShock 2, which is a survival horror first-person shooter video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles and the Windows operating system. Across all platforms, the BioShock 2 game is scheduled for release in February 2010. Here the information is mentioned about BioShock 2 wiki and BioShock 3 wikipedia provided at bioshock.wikia.com.
BioShock 2 is the sequel to BioShock, and is intended to continue the grand storyline of the underwater metropolis, Rapture.
The high-quality effects, unique gameplay elements, and immersive atmosphere will be capitalized and be improved by BioShock 2. It has been confirmed that the game is not being developed by 2K Bostin. 2K Marin is the developing team. Primarily, the “Sea of Dreams” subtitle had been dropped, which was stated by a spokesperson for 2K Games. It was revealed that the subtitle was just the title of the first teaser trailer, and not a subtitle for the game.
Gameplay:
Weapons:
- The player must access to all of the Big Daddy weapons from the first game and new ones
- Rivet Gun: Replaces the Pistol. Medium to long range and fairly powerful
- Gatling Gun: Replaces the Machine Gun. A minigun-like weapon with a high rate of fire and good damage
- Spear Gun: Replaces the Crossbow. A very powerful long-range weapon with a ‘scope’
- Drill: Replaces the Wrench as a standard melee weapon
- Double-Barreled Shotgun: Replaces the Shotgun. This gun seems to have the same attributes as its predecessor
- Cannon: Replaces the Grenade Launcher. Able to fire explosives at enemies
- Research Camera: This tool will return in the sequel, but take videos instead of still photographs. It also no longer pauses the game
- Hack Tool: Fires darts able to hack machines from a distance. Only one ammo type has been seen so far
Plasmids:
- The player is a Prototype Big Daddy, and as such he can use plasmids unlike his later counterparts.
- EVE Hypos are fed to Delta intraveinously, so the player will be able to fight while filling up their EVE reserves.
- Plasmid upgrades will now use upgrade trees, allowing different customization paths.
- New Plasmids such as Geyser Trap, Aero Dash and the Houdini Plasmid (all of them multiplayer only) have been confirmed.
- Plasmids can be combined, for example, firing Incinerate! into a Plasmid Trap will create a flaming trap.
- The player can now wield weapons and plasmids simultaneously, allowing for powerful combos.
- The upgrades will also change the plasmids to a greater extent than the first game, for example, Incinerate! goes from its regular form to a fireball, and then to a jet of flame.
- The Plasmids from the first game will likely be returning. So far Cyclone (Plasmid) Trap, Target Dummy, Electrobolt, Telekinesis, Incinerate!, Enrage , Winter Blast and Security Bullseye have been confirmed as of yet.
- All of the eleven Plasmids in the first game will be making a return in the sequel.
Player Attributes:
- To add to the immersive experience, the player will be able to look down and see their character’s feet, or look into mirrors or puddles of water to see themselves as they appear in the game.
- A flashlight is built into Subject Delta’s suit, and this handy tool will turn on and off automatically as needed, allowing the player to investigate even the darkest hallway or corner with ease.
- Delta’s suit allows him to survive the pressure of the ocean, enabling him to walk outside of Rapture to progress, explore, take a breather from the action within and even harvest ADAM-yielding sea slugs on the ocean floor.
Hacking:
- In single-player, the player will not leave the game screen to hack; the mini-game will occur in real time on the main game screen.
- In multiplayer, hacking will be a time-based progress bar rather than a mini-game.
- Hacking has been made into a more effective strategy by allowing the player to heal and upgrade their Security Bots.
- Remote hacking devices will allow the player to take control of bots and cameras from a distance.
Big Daddies and Little Sisters:
- These pairs will be present in BioShock 2.
- The player will have to kill the Big Daddy to get the ADAM from the Little Sister. However, the “save” option is not immediately available. Instead, the player can either opt to “harvest” or “adopt” the Little Sister.
- If the player chooses to adopt, the Little Sister will ride on Delta’s shoulder until she finds a body to feed on. When the player lets her down, she will begin to harvest the body, causing Splicers to attack. Though she cannot be killed, Splicers will interrupt the ADAM progress bar by attacking her, meaning the player will be under constant attack until the progress bar fills up. After the mini-mission is complete (she is done harvesting ADAM), the player will receive some ADAM and she will get back on Delta’s shoulders.
- When the player comes to a Little Sister Vent, they will again be given the choice to harvest, but this time they can also choose to save her like in the first game and sending her to the vent.
- When a Little Sister is in the player’s care, she will warn them of the Big Sister’s approach by singing in a worried voice.
- A new Big Daddy type, the Rumbler, will be introduced. He is an overhaul of the Slow Pro, a Big Daddy design that got cut from the original BioShock.

I was completely heartbroken in the end of Bioshock 2.. do you think Jack (Subject Delta) will be back in Bioshock 3?? I would be extremely happy and they should make it end in a happy way.
Can anyone give me feedback on the AeroGrow system?
