BioShock 2 is BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams ... again photo

Whenever we introduce BioShock 2 in a post, get ready to read BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams again. Previous reports of 2K stripping the catchy subtitle from the upcoming underwater adventure are false, according to Eurogamer.

Unfortunately, there’s not a snazzy quote. A 2K Games representative simply told Eurogamer that the subtitle was not pulled. (IGN originally reported it was killed due to “a number of inquiries today regarding the official naming convention.”)

I’m a big fan of the “Sea of Dreams” bit -- it’s a hip tagline that tickles the imagination. Since the tagline is back on, and we got some awesome comments, I’ll ask what Colette did in her name-stripping report. Does a name change mean anything to you? Are you glad “Sea of Dreams” is back?

Please spend less time on the name and more time on the game.

Agreed, although I don't supposed it's too much of a drain on resources that it would actively make the game any less good.


But then again, I hate additional taglines. It's a game, and this is the second one, that's all we need a title to say.

I liked the 'sea of dreams' tagline as well, it is quite intriguing

Yeah, I really dig the Sea of Dreams moniker so it's good to hear that it's back, but none of that really matters when it comes down to it. Let's see more from the game itself...

Though it's irrelevant if the game's shit - I like the subtitle and am glad it's back.

Great! Now they just have to drop the "Bioshock 2" bit and we'd have a proper title for a sequel...

I guess that means now they will have to change the name of the spin-off porno back to "Biocock 2: Sea of reams".

I suppose it's better than just plain old "BioShock 2." I acually kind-of liked the "Sea of Dreams" bit in the title. In the end, however, it's the game that matters, and not the name.

I appreciate the tagline for Bioshock 2. To me it would seem a little bland to just call it Bioshock 2. I mean, a name means little if the game is bad.

I prefer Seas of Nightmares. It makes much more sense considering what lurks inside Rapture.

Yeah, whatever. I suppose it's a little unnerving to think that they're still not sure what the name is.

"Sea of dreams" adds some dreamy atmosphere to the name of the game and makes you speculate about it... If it is actually relevant to the story.
