BioShock 2is going to be big. So big, in fact, that 2K’sUK marketing manager is sparing no expenseon the hype, telling us all to “expect something spectacular.” The publisher is planning onBioShock 2being among the biggest blockbusters of 2009, and has bestowed it with a budget truly fitting of such an ideal.
According to an interview inMCVmagazine, Simon Turner revealed that the budget forBioShockis officially“the biggest in 2K’s history” and that“2K expectsBioShock 2to be one of the top five games of the year.”
2K is probably right to expect such things, too. Many fans of the original have come around to the idea of a sequel and are starting to get excited. Even those who remain intensely cynical of aBioShock 2are bound to check it out simply through sheer morbid curiosity, meaning 2K will win both ways. There’s no question thatBioShock 2is going to be hot. Whether it will be as brilliant as the first game, of course, remains to be seen.
