You play as a totally different person seeing as you die at the end of the good ending. You go back to unravel the truth behind rapture: A gay conspiracy theory related to the nazis. Hitler was Ryan's father teaching him about special camps where they tested on people leading to the descovery of ADAM. You then meet a man called Roonie. He says he is an archeoligist who is trying to uncover the rapture. He asks for your help, you do a few missions for him and accidentally activate rapture to surface. Roonie then reveals that he is Ryans son and that he is trying to rebuild rapture; but unlike Ryan, is trying to take over the world and restore Ryans name. You end up killing him and have the same choice as the first Bioshock.

I have an idea on what it might be.
Maybe this game will be about the fall of Rapture. Or something like that.

I don't know why they disregarded a prequel right off the bat. First of all, the title meaning "Sea of Dreams" could have a reference to "Field of Dreams" or in other words "Build it and they will come". Sure the girl all grown up appears to be "older" but who's to say that's her, or who's to say they aren't taking a slightly different design to steer away from the complications of killing "kids" in the original.

I like your idea smallberry, but you would think when you kill Ryan, that city would fall too.

I think, be prepared, that the Little Sister was separated from the others and was taken to the surface, before Rapture went to hell. She might want to go back where she belongs.

It would be hard to think about how you could put that into a 15 hours of gameplay, but it could happen I guess.

to the editors team!!

i think some ppl might miss this out

i think i realise that the barnicle grow as the "bioshock 2" sign starts off clean like the 1st bioshock sign but as it goes backwards...

it gets dirtier and darker and barnicles starts to pops up.

maybe this shows that you'll be visitng the city again but its darkker and grimmer-er and scarier then ever.

or maybe its showing that the story will get darkker and gimmer-er and scarier

what ever it is

bioshock 2 will get darkker and gimmer-er and scarier then EVER!!!

I think it would be cool if the big daddys and sisters spread through out the world trying to recreate rapture

Charlie: So what was your very first thought upon watching this teaser trailer?

Brett: First thought - this is a surviving Little Sister who wants to see Rapture rebuilt, and tries to do so on a beach, which is in between her lost childhood and the real world. Hence the long scenes of sand buildings growing as the camera rolls away, which imply to me that we're going to see a new city in that same style.

I'm thinking a slightly different route on this. What if Brett's thinking is backwards? Literally. What if it's not showing the sand buildings growing as the camera pulls away from the Little Sister, but is actually showing the already created sand buildings being torn down\washed away, as the camera goes towards the Little Sister?

Just an afterthought to my prev post; If it were correct, then you could read that as an indication of Bioshock 2 being a prequel. That the sand buildings being already built and then shown being torn down as you get closer to the Little Sister, could be seen as showing Rapture in its hayday then the closer you get to the Little Sister, (both literally, as the camera zooms in on her, and figuratively, in that they became both a cause of, and the result of the fall of Rapture) the more torn down Rapture becomes.

Something tells me that this will be a prequel taking place even before Rapture was built... I just get that feeling. Perhaps she is the daughter of someone working on it, and somehow gets involved. Uh, don't mind me, I'm probably wrong. But if it turns out the way my vision is, it would be interesting indeed.

1) It could be the littel sisters with thme polished out there memories of Rapture the hell hole in the sea and began to remember the time when it was Rapture the shining utopia of the sea and use the old city to try to rebiuld it but soon after the project is complete and New Rapture is repoululated pepole will forget the history and look to the futer but the futer may contain the mistakes of the past "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

2) Going on the prequil posibility this may be a rememberance of the war talked of on the audio tapes and you are a soilder chosing your path betwene the good and the evil

i really have no clue what to think i cant even begin to imagine what a story would be like i might have an idea later though.

hmmmm, I believe there are many things it could mean and I belive this is why it's called a teaser, it gives you so much that can be interprited but no hints as for what to interpret, so far I am leaning more towards Rapture coming to the surface, a reversal of what happened with Atlantis, as the water is drained from the logo and a butterfly energes, which could represent new life as Rapture comes to the surface and if possibly given new life, Judging from the little girl it is safe to assume that if it is a sequel it goes with the good ending, but then that leaves something to be addressed, what is one supposed to do? Perhaps a particularly clever Splicer took over the place and is now bent on spreading his influence to the world, explaining why Rapture would be brought to the surface if that were to happen, I don't like the dream idea since I have always felt that something like that is a slap in the face, basically telling you "congratulations! you won, but you didn't actually accomplish anything since it was all a dream" I don't mind if a game has a sequence that is a dream as that can be an interesting journey through the subconscious, but having the entire game as a dream is bad, especially since the first games narratives were so great, it would just feel so weak, anyway you look at it, there isn't enough to go off of in the teaser so until they release a more deatailed trailer this will be an unanswerable question that will tear at many including me until it is answered

I hate Prequal games......Bioshock 2, followed by a Bioshock Prequal! GAH! Screw that, i wanna know if the bad ending was true!

Well the Barnacles point that the sign has been there for awhile, so I am saying that it is a sequel.

I think it is a sequel and the plot is to find a daughter of one of the saved little sisters that went back on her own.

Remember, all the saved sisters were married at the end AND present at your death. To have any adventures in the middle would be difficult because the ending would have to be rigged. Make it an over-inquisitive daughter though and you get disaster waiting to happen.

id like to strike my earlier comment from this board, and change it to a theory that because of the older "little" sister and the 'barnacles,' although i think they are inconclusive and just there to add flare. as for the sand city, can i mention that they looked vaguely inappropriate, u know what i mean. The city is prolly gonna be a version of rapture that has been partially enswathed by mud and stuff and you just kill stuff in it like the first. dont like bioshock gameplay though. The End.

what if the creators of Bioshock havent even created the Bioshock 2 story yet?

What if they made this teaser for GamesRadar and other websites to find?

What if they WANTED us to discuss theories about the new story, so they can create the stories from OUR ideas?

Think about it. Screw you, 2K! You won't get any ideas out of me, HAHAHAHA!

Hmmm...the girl appears to have the body of a teenager, my guess is 15-16.
(...If you look close she twitches and tilts her head to the right just before the 'sand castle' city sprouts up...)
I'm guesssing that the game takes place about ten years after the first; regardless of the ending you play out the world would have found out about Rapture: either from a submarine crew spotting debri and getting attacked or a group of survivors who had escaped with a story to tell of their adventures.
So someone would have thought "wow! those Plasmids sound realy cool; I want them". I think the game is centered around the fallout of an attempt to plunder and make use of the genetics technology in rapture.
