Bioshock ... The name alone is enough to shine the eyes of all fans of FPS. More than the richness of its gameplay, more than the finesse of its graphics, even more than the strength of his script, the game was mainly for the incredible atmosphere that emanates from Rapture. 2K Games us to plunge into the city that devours October 30, in the skin of a Big Daddy.
The presentation E3 Bioshock 2 first began with a brief summary of information already available so far. For latecomers, here is a short summary. Bioshock 2 takes place 10 years after the events of the first episode. Forget Jack, this time you are a Big Daddy! And not just any, it is the first, the original prototype. What makes it different from those we know already: faster, more agile, more powerful More ... And able to use other weapons that drill and even plasmids. A customer therefore sacred, but which has to be done before because it will stand many splicers and especially the Big Sister. The scenario looks attractive, arrived at this stage want to know more is really urgent
And there is drama. At least surprise, even disappointment for some. For the solo, that is all we will ever seen. Indeed, to this E3, 2K Games has chosen to show the multiplayer mode, great novelty of this opus. But 2K studios wanted to concentrate on the campaign to provide the best possible experience without distractions. They have entrusted the development of multi another player, Digital Extreme, who must Dark Sector and the PS3 port of Bioshock first. Here's how was born Fall of Rapture, name given to the multiplayer mode. Why this title? Because it takes place before the first branch, during the civil war that marked the collapse of the utopia of Andrew Ryan. So no wonder that found places from Bioshock 1 as Kashmir Restaurant, which served as a map during this presentation. But we were also promised new environments.
Before embarking on a proper party, the player is first in an apartment where he can move freely. It is in this space that will be able to customize their avatar and move (we shall see below). There is also a messenger, a system of matchmaking ... The perfectly integrated into the decor, with the utmost respect from the world of Rapture. Be aware though that this is optional and it is therefore possible to pass to get into a game. Otherwise, you will first need to leave your apartment and into a bathysphere before you again in the arena. It may seem unnecessary, but it actually reflects a desire not to spoil the virtual world much impressive Bioshock with a multi confrontation that will fall like that, without warning, like a hair on the soup.
Once in combat, the action is familiar. It mixes the use of weapons, plasmids and melee attacks, and overall feelings seem to be the same as in the previous solo Except Thursday that the enemies are much more responsive and intelligent of course, since are embodied by other humans (10 maximum). The only difference is the absence of the different types of ammunition, too complicated to administer according to the developers ... The turrets are still there and gives a certain advantage in that they have been hacked (no mini-game this time, of course). Each card also hides a combination of Big Daddy, enabling the player who is becoming temporarily canned ambulate. This gives matches rather nervous. And at the end of combat, the deserving will be rewarded with new plasmids, more powerful weapons, etc.. We just have to return the apartment to equip them, and the loop is closed.
