The new Bioshock 2 trailer looks very handsome and full of activity but, um… I can’t tell what’s happening. The environments, the atmosphere, and Heaven help me the vibe of this trailer all make me physically hungry to touch the game. The gameplay footage makes me want to put a cool towel over my eyes and have a lie down.
In my defense, I haven’t actually played the original yet; the Baker got me a copy for our anniversary, and I’m waiting for a chance to play it together since I heard the story is great. Perhaps once I’ve gotten more familiar with how the action looks it’ll all make sense. For now, though, as someone new to the franchise, this trailer is equal parts intriguing and painful.
