Rumortoid: Big Mommies in BioShock 2? photo

A new rumor has surfaced suggesting that less lumbering, more female versions of the original Big Daddies could be making their debut in BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams. The gossip concerns what is being described as an "Amazonian" version of the Big Daddy, with a more sleek and feminine look.

That's all there is to go on right now, but it wouldn't surprise me. I imagine 2K will be looking at ways to switch up the original game, and a female Big Daddy is a pretty easy, if somewhat lazy, way of doing so. If this is indeed true, one can reasonably expect to hear about it at GDC or E3. 2K's marketing department is already gearing up to hype this tentatively-awaited sequel, so we'll find out if this is bunk soon enough. 

As for the game, I'm still not expecting much. I hope of course to be pleasantly surprised, but my cynical eyes in turn see a cynical sequel cash-in. Fingers crossed that 2K Marin can follow up on Ken Levine's original with an equally magnificent game. Fingers crossed so hard that they're starting to bleed, in fact.

Perhaps it would look like a female Pyramid Head? Errr Mrs. Bubble Head?

So can we expect little brothers (in place of little sisters) as well?

can we all admit bioshock was kinda average now?

It was a good corridor shooter but innovated in no way at all.

That's too awesome. I hope to god they take your concept into consideration if they are indeed making the big mommies, Jim.

Be optimistic people, I think Bioshock 2 will most likely be just as great as the first.

I expect nothing more than a good looking solid shooter with a wide variety of weapons and powers. If they can deliver that I'll be fully satisfied.

The key to happyness: low expectations!

I think it's going to be a big black woman who says "MMMM HMMM" when she sees you, and snaps her fingers.

A rather interesting take on things that isn't completely pulled from out of someone's arse: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/03/06/new-wave-bioshock-2-teaser-site/

That would explain the description of the kidnapper on the teaser site describing what sounds like a Big Daddy only "thin".

And in Bioshock 3, they will introduce baby versions of all the characters.

After that, it will take place way in the future, in space.

Then, for the 5th game, it will go back way time.

Er.. BenPerLee, Little Daddies actually might be in the game, I don't know if this a load of BS 'cos I don't have a mic.

Actually, that was my guess after looking up www.somethingunderthesea.com.

I'm still iffy about the whole sequel thing though. Bioshock was amazing, I just finished it about a week ago. I hope they don't tarnish it with a string of shitty, unnecessary sequels.

But I thought some of the big daddies were called Rosie, like Rosie the Riveter... Isn't that kind of like a big mommy?

Haha well, they're supposed to be "Big Sisters" from what I've heard.

My guess is that Jack missed one (maybe more) of the Little Sisters...and she has a craving for Adam. But being grown up, she wouldn't be able to produce the Adam herself, so she's kidnapping girls that look like the original Little Sisters as new harvesters of Adam.

Or who knows? The Big Sisters could be just regular splicers.

Werent female versions of Big Daddies, already in the game?

Im a little confused.

Rosie was a nickname. All the Big Daddies were male.

And on a more useful note, the Rosies were male too, the name was a reference to Rosie The Riveter, a women's rights mascot from that era:

What if they had Big Daddy's still and then introduced Big Mommies as well and if you play the game right you get to see an exclusive ending of them making Big Babies....o.O

Or Big Mommies is cool too. ;)

What do scientists theorize occurs when a big daddy and a big mommy meet?

THE BIG BANG.

Now I guess we'll see Big Brothers and Sisters, whining at the big mommies to get them some chocolate milk, or how the big brother won't get out of the big sister's room when she's changing.

Rapture just got creepier.
