SDCC: A closer look at the BioShock 2 room photo

You know how BioShock 2 has that cool website (Something in the Sea), with the interactive room you can click on for hints about the game's storyline? Yeah, well, 2K decided to take it up a notch at this year's Comic-Con by recreating the entire room down to the tinest details. A closer look at some of said details actually yielded some pretty interesting information -- for instance, check out that book lying in the corner about UFOs. Can we expect some alien action in our next dose of Rapture?

Of course, we got up close and personal and photographed all the cool papers so you could glean every last bit of info about the much anticipated sequel. What do you take away from the things you see here? Starting to get any ideas what the big twist of BioShock 2 might be about?

I glean that I still hate it when companies decide to turn what should be a simple website with information about a product into a freaking flash treasure hunt and now they are applying the same annoying tactic to real life. As cool as this display is, I really wish companies would give the whole trying to be meta shtick a break for awhile...

Not enough capitalist propaganda.

Viral advertisement isn't my cup of tea.

I really hope that there are no aliens running around in Bioshock 2. Aliens are cool, don't get me wrong, but they don't fit into the Bioshock world set up by the first game. Unless they're there as some sort of fictional universe within the games universe (a book on a shelf, for example) I feel like they'd just be the product of creative bankruptcy on the part of the developers. (What do the kids like these days? Hmm, I got it.. ALIENS! I'm brilliant! Throw it in!) They could prove me wrong of course. And really, if the gameplay's as good as the first then it'll still be a fun game.

Also, that room is nifty.

I have poked around the site and I think the idea is people think the Big Sister is an alien from a UFO... abducting little girls. No aliens in Bioshock 2 luckily enough.

Argh! I really want to drool over every morsel of info on this game, but I must continue my Bioshock 2 media hiatus.
