Says Kotaku ...

The freshly-released PS3 version of BioShock has a little treat tucked away within; it (seemingly) includes the first trailer for BioShock 2. Watch it above (though be warned, it's in s-s-s-s-s-hhhaky cam). If legit, the game's called BioShock 2: Sea Of Dreams, and if we were forced to give our $0.02 worth, we'd say that little sister doesn't look so little anymore. We'll no doubt see a better quality version of this sometime soon (or can at least confirm this is real, since there's always an element of doubt when it comes to s-s-s-s-haky cams); we'll update when we do

Video, of course, is included up there.

*shudders* for some reason that gives me the heebie jeebies watching that, but it does look like the sequel.

Bioshock 2 would probably work a lot better if they'd reused System Shock for Bioshock, then they could use System Shock 2 for this one :)

I smell a prequel though :(

Ahh!, good old trailers that tell nothing but create expectations and attention to a game that usually never deserves it. I'm already expecting the

- second non-revealing trailer.

- first 4 screenshots.

- first gameplay video.

- first how the new enemies look like video.

- next 10 screenshots, many mini-games and interactive action scenes revealed.

- first "experts'" analysis of all the revealed bits.

- first beta trial for all those who played 24 hours in a row to the first game.

- next 20 screenshots, community considers too much action and good graphics, less interesting features.

- DRM features revealed.

- controversy on DRM.

- DRM softened because producers hear what gamers say.

- next 30 screenshots revealed, a praised character of the previous games appears, does his/her thing and everybody applauds with joy.

- No release in Germany, Australia, United Kingdom or some country with some exotic believes (non-Christian, that is) due to the game letting the player shoot a cute sheep or hurting believes of exotic-believes countries.

- Specs revealed: Your PC can't handle it on Vista, it runs smooth and nice on XP.

- Sony CEO says it's better in the PS3, Microsoft CEO says it's not.

- Release day news: It's delayed indefinitely, 2 times indefinitely for the PC version.

- Real release day (not for PC, and only in USA).

- Every medium is excited about the game in proportion to the quantity of ads in their site.

- Week 1: Critical bug prevents playing. Patch 1.1 released.

- Week 3: Patch 1.5 released. Now the game is stable for most.

- Week 4: 90% of the potential players know already all the plot twists thanks to the infinite videos, screens, reviews and forums on the game.

- Week 20: PC release day.

- PC week 1: Critical bug prevents playing. It is revealed the game is exactly the same first version for consoles, with the same features everybody have complained about, but artificially delayed.

- PC week 2: DRM prevents enjoyment for at least 30% for legal gamers, eMule gamers enjoy longer and healthier lives, say scientists. DRM is softened slightly.

- There are still many issues with the game, but everybody is talking about the sequel to the prequel, so nobody cares anymore.

Summarizing: You spend more time expecting a game than playing it, and you also enjoy more the expectation than the actual game. Conclusion: Don't buy the games, the expectation is free, ;)

Excellent summary. That really applies to a lot of games.

...and people are still puzzled why I whine? :p

Ahem, bullshot.

Today's comic would also be a good one.

Oh!, and the same goes for Windows versions, pay attentio to the new Windows 7, :D
