The Skyrim 1.4 patch that was released on Steam last week is now arriving on...
15 hours 38 mins ago
Rumors appeared the other day about female versions of Big Daddies. Everyones first reaction was of course, Big Mommas. Well it is true that there will be a female version, she isn't a momma though, but a Big Sister.
Game Informer's April cover confirms what Kotaku readers already knew: Big Sister will greet gamers when they land in BioShock 2's Rapture later this year.
The cover shows off the new creature, which we described as an amazonian version of the Big Daddy, wearing similar, though svelter, gear. The image depicts a Little Sister riding on the back of the Big Sister in a sort of papoose cage.

i can't wait to see this game informer
This game should be on every sane person's wishlist.
I dunno though, are these little sisters that somehow grew up or something?
They really seem closer related to Big Daddies than Little Sisters (gender nonwithstanding).
And the teaser trailer shows a grown up little sister holding a Big Daddy doll. So yeah it grew up.
Which if you've played the first one and followed the many twists and turns of the plot, it would be a valid theory considering how the "good ending" ends.
Looking forward to returning to rapture and yes I think from the looks of this one, we'll be needing a lot more firepower
But yeah, I agree that they are indeed grown Little Sisters that went back to Rapture.
They'd be less of a defensive/offensive tank (compared to Big Daddies) I imagine though.
I wonder if they'll be more or less common than BDs?
Can't wait for this game. Definitely my most anticipated game of the year, and possibly ever.
They look a bit easier to kill than the Big Daddies, but a lot faster and harder to hit D:
Sisters = Agile but Weak, Daddies = Strong but...slow-ish.
Big Daddies=Power Big Sisters=Speed?
where is the obligatory 3 paragraph femenist commentary on this one? you all are slacking.
The Big Sisters mentioned on the viral site are said to be really fast, so to balance it out it would only make sense to have them be weaker, because the Big Daddies in the original were strong but fairly slow. Unless if they were to actually make the Big Sister fights a real challenge in this one which, considering the current decline in difficulty for the sake of the shit, is doubtful.
Oh, it was a joke. I see now. Hey Zero, this guy's mocking you! Oh Bandito, you're in for it now! Prepare to be confused, ZandX style
perhaps they are in fact the Little Sisters from the first game but grown up and mutated or something. maybe they can fight like Daddies but can gather ADAM like Sisters also? because if they are directly an analog of Big Daddies but just female, not calling them Mommas is stupid.
"Big momma" sounds horrible.
But that needle thing definitely looks like a hypodermic needle, which excites me.
Besides, if they could get the ADAM then there would be absolutely no point to there being Little Sisters at all. It would be like getting a guide-dog for someone who can see XD
What if that IS a needle, and the little sister in the cage cannot get out? Or, what if the little sister somehow "controls" the Big Sister? And, the needle is for harvesting large quantities of ADAM at once, and with the speed of the Big Sister, they can both clear a large portion of Rapture in possibly a few hours, and maybe also the needle connects to the little sister somehow, so the Little sister controls the "Big Sister" as if the Lil Sis was in the suit.
Pretty much, as said above, if the Big Sis' can harvest ADAM then there is no point whatsoever to having a Little Sis'.
What if the Big Sis is fighting off something too strong for the lil sis? After the big sis kills it, she can inject it with her needle, and store the ADAM for the little sister for later. Remember, the little sister must recycle ADAM in her digestive system, so it is plausible for the big sis to be able to store ADAM, plus the cage could be a "sheild", while the lil sis rides on her. Big daddies had no sheild/cage to protect a little sister
My point is, if the Big Sis' could store ADAM, the Little Sis' being with her is pointless. I evidently misworded it. Why carry her on her back when she's just going to do all the work and give her the ADAM later?
The Big Sisters can scare the splicers and gather ADAM safely for the Lil sis
So there would be no need to have them on their back in a cage, period.
I'm loving the needle attached to the big sisters and the fact that instead of the little sister following behind them they have to hold themselves in a cage on the big sisters shoulder!
Definitely means that the big sisters will be insane monkey women xD
The GameInformer web site says that people are assuming something. It doesn't say Big Sisters await. It says Big Sister awaits. Huge difference.
It's Tenenbaum, tbh.
Source.
Plus the Sister is 6'10 (it says on the viral site) and Tenenbaum was nowhere near that tall.
And I don't agree that it would suck storywise. She's the only powerful figure left in Rapture after the original game, and she gets corrupt and drunk with power. She goes to the Big Daddy lab or w/e it was and creates her own suit.
I think that's the most likely story at this point, at least until someone actually gets the magazine.
And the fact that she was so intent on saving them in the first one would make it totally suck if she was trying to make more in this one; it would be like releasing The Passion of the Christ 2 in which Jesus kills everyone. Besides, why would she still be in Rapture? You don't think she'd escape with Jack and the Sisters at the first available oppurtunity?
