Game Informer's April cover story reveals BioShock 2's Big Sister photo

#BioShock #PC #PS3 #Xbox 360

It looks like the rumors of a "female Big Daddy" were true.

The April issue of Game Informer is set to reveal all of the hot new details on 2K Marin's upcoming BioShock 2 in a ten-page spread. The description on Game Informer's Web site doesn't reveal too much (they want you to buy the issue, after all), but does mention a return to Rapture where "the Big Sister awaits you."

In today's Take-Two investors conference call, 2K refused to specify which platforms BioShock 2 would be released on, leading to rampant speculation and sending waves across the Internet. 2K had previously mentioned that the title was "destined" for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, so take that how you will.

Hit the jump to see the full cover of April's Game Informer, and peep the "Big Sister" in all her glory.

Count Grishnack

Badass.

wardrox

FAP

Zombutler

I think they should be called Big Mommas

CrocBox

abuh....?

Enzogwmetal

Sexy

bluexy

I look forward to some sweet Big Sister costumes this Halloween.

Soulwax

I was hoping for a Big Pimpin.

Solgrim

whatever...

Static Jak

So how long till we see couples in Big Daddy and Big Sister costumes I wonder.
For Halloween of course...

Syn

Zombutler beat me to it

Big Mommas or Big Mommies hahahahaha

megaStryke

JUNE?

mix

How bout: Big Ladies

Who thinks that some big fat bitch is going to go on the news and complain that the term "big sister" in the video game makes her feel fat and ugly inside and that something needs to be done to change it, but not her eating habbits?

..........Just sayin

Count Grishnack

From the Kotaku post about this:

..."papoose cage."

Papoose cage in Bioshock 2 confirmed!

CelicaCrazed

*copies his comment from Intruder's blog because he's lazy*

"Hehehe...a single red eye.

Also, I need to play the first one still."

Holyetheline

Perfect.

toadthetoad

I'd hit her.

Syn

Why not just take it all the way down and call them BBWs?

covah

SIIIIIIIIIICK

Guagloves

That looks freaking awesome. Excitement levels raised.

Draconianviper

So with this Rapture we'll get great hits such as The Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys?

xomb13

This looks cool, I really enjoyed the first game, but I hope all the new developments aren't semi-rehashes of what has already been done.

Little brothers would be a bit uninspired imo, though little daddies could work , especially if they were 13 years old and played saints row...

Draconianviper

Sorry I jumped too far ahead come to think of it. Probably Elvis.

Timdabrat

I'd hit her too.... with a wrench.

ThunderHeartXI

At first I wasn't that impressed but then I started really looking into it and then I was pretty amazed. My level of excitement for Bioshock 2 has certainly been raised but I don't have high hopes for it.

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask

Reminds me of Hal for some reason....

Eliza Gauger

One of the Big Daddy types was named "Rosie", I always figured those were the ladydaddies.

I am cautiously optimistic about this.

ArrestedDeveloper

I seem to be in the minority but that looks stupid.

grafkhun

Thank you 2k for not losing the steampunk art style in Bioshock 2, seriously, thank you.

CWal37

I am very excited for this.

gatorsax2010

I was hoping they'd be Big Mommas to go with the Big Daddies...

But seriously, I'm playing the original for the first time this week and really enjoying it, hopefully the sequel will live up to it.

Nathan Summers

Uhhhhhh... it's April, innit?

Yuphrum

Gatorsax2010
Thats exactly what I thought of when I heard big momma LOL

Link39

If they really have Little sister's in cages on their shoulders, does that mean that harvesting/rescuing isn't a possiblity?

It seems to me those little sisters would be dead as fuck after a fight.

Foxtoid

Still worried where the continuity for a sequel is. Why the cute little carry basket? Is it to protect the invincible little sisters, or just give them a lift? Looks uncomfortable.

Is that an adam needle on it's arm? If so, why would you need the little sisters anymore? Are these just supposed to be more agile? Like an armored spider splicer?

A million other questions but they're just chasing the continuity concern again.

Narishma

ArrestedDeveloper: I'm with you. I liked Bioshock but I don't think it needs a sequel.

exodus1925

Fuck me sideways I'm almost innappropriately excited about this.

BrazeGoesMoo

Kinda looks like a GLaDOS eye..

Sweet, either way :]

pascuz46

That actually looks pretty kool. Whats gonna be next for Bioshock 3: Big Brothers. It will probably have a very Orwellian set up.

Captain Foolage

PLEASE DON'T SUCK PLEASE DON'T SUCK...

DamnYouKrycek

Although the design is pretty cool, you'd think in all those recordings you found in rapture there might have been some mention of a Big Sister.

*Has gone from "cautiously optimistic" to "skeptical but willing to be proven wrong"*

Fronz

Gatorsax2010 -- hahahaha.

Hao

Am I the only one who thinks the head looks a little like the GlaDOS orbs from Portal?

DamnYouKrycek

Now that I look at it again, the costume seems a little strange for something that was made in the 1960's

The Big Daddy suit is slightly embelished, but is very similar to deep-sea-diving suits that have been actually used.

The Big Sister looks like she's from space.

Fronz

PS -- i love the shoulder cage for sisters to sit in. looks great. as for the water tank on her back... i'm guessing she either bends over and shoots water cannons at you (not likely since valve is on top) or it can be opened to jet the big sister and little sister across a level fast (which is more realistic cuz the little sister could move the valve and then not fall off cuz of her cage).

very stoked for sequel and hope it steps even closer to a 1948 novel world.

Chronic Logic

Flat chest is flat. Big Sister don't look scary at all. And why is there a Little Sister inside the cage?

Drack48

I think you're going to be playing as a big sister rescuing little sisters..

Aziel13

this time Fontaine is Atlas!

Teta

Big Daddy was cooler than that.
Wich proves that fat people are cooler than thin people.

garison

I don't like the design. I liked the BIg Daddy's a lot better.
