The trailer, while beautiful, offers very little new insight into the plot of the game and offers no footage of actual game play. It is a pre-rendered cinematic cut scene that shows the protagonist — a prototype Big Daddy — interacting with a Little Sister and eventually facing off against the Big Sister. It does, however, give a great sense of the atmosphere and emotion that the original Bioshock was known for.
For those intrigued by this beautiful launch trailer, Bioshock 2 will be released on February 9th, 2010 for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Bioshock 2 has been rated M by the ESRB.
