BioShock 2 gameplay footage

By Alex on April 11, 2009

If you’re into the first-person shooter/RPG genre involving droids and evolutionary dregs (or just a fan of the first BioShock), then you might be interested in BioShock 2. The game’s set to be released this year and what we have here is one of the first looks at the game’s gameplay.

By the looks of it, the game does take advantage of the current gen gaming rigs’ graphics capabilities. The lighting, sparks, and shadows are definitely bound to give any person liable to motion sickness (or epilepsy) a hard time but at least it shows that it utilizes rendering and shaders pretty well. The water effect does look a bit shabby though.

The game will arrive for the PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360 by the end of the year.

[Datenshi's notes: As the only guy in Sugoi who has played the original, I also thought that the teaser below contains major spoilers. However, Wikipedia says otherwise. So no need for you guys to comment "Would you kindly add a spoiler warning to this post?" ^_^]

Urayamashiii!

Even if I’m not much of a gamer. Still! These lucky folks who attended the Tokyo Game Show in Chiba, last September 20 got to try out Sony’s PlayStation 3 for free.

Yep, they’re not exactly giving them away for free, silly. But then again, news states that Sony will launch a cheaper model of its PlayStation 3 in the US (what about the Philippines?!), so as to go up against rival game consoles from Microsoft (Xbox) and Nintendo (Wii).
