BioShock 2 loses subtitle again News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Sea of Dreams was name of trailer.

2K Games is once more claiming that BioShock 2 will not carry the Sea of Dreams subtitle.

"We name most of our trailers at 2K and the name of the teaser trailer we released last October for BioShock 2 is called Sea of Dreams," spokesperson Charlie Sinhaseni told IGN.

"There was talk about adding that as an official subtitle, but we decided to simply keep it BioShock 2. We're sorry for the confusion, but we're glad people are so interested."

This follows first the dropping and subsequent reinstating of the Sea of Dreams subtitle late last month. Oh what a carry on.

BioShock 2 is being developed by 2K Marin - not 2K Boston (the original team) - for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Players are cast as a prototype Big Daddy and choose between protecting or harvesting Little Sisters - girls stolen from nearby coastal towns by the wicked Big Sister. That much we know for now, but expect more news soon.

Why? Everyone likes a good subtitle! It helps to differentiate a title from the original.

What kind of idiot would even bother naming a trailer?

It's quite an apt name for that trailer though.

I don't see why they are making such a fuss about a subtitle, though, they're rarely ever memorable.

Does anyone remember Unreal 2 was subtitled 'The Awakening'
Or that Max payne 2 was subtitled 'The Fall of Max Payne'
Or that Baldur's gate 2 was called 'Shadows of Amn'

I can only think of one series where the subtitle actually matters, The Elder Scrolls, and in that case, conversely, nobody normally bothers with the series name.

Way to keep your game in the news without showing anything. Who the hell cares.

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS AND THEN STOP TELLING US ABOUT IT.

"...but we're glad people are so interested..."

We're not interested. We just want to know more about the actual game.

@monkeylite:

All the GTAIV trailers were named. "Looking for that special someone" was one of them. Think The Lost and Damned trailer(s) were named too.

The last two I certainly did/do remember the subtitles, can't say the same for Unreal 2 though.... does that make me sad?

No it just means that you have the ability to ignore a BS subtitle when you see one.

here's another one who remembers subtitles... doom 2: hell on earth, prince of persia 2: the shadow and the flame, kyrandia 3: malcolm's revenge etc. and no it isn't sad, it's cool and adds to the feast of imagination inherent in a video game

I can always remember Unreal 2: The Awakening. It sits on my shelf looking down at me judgementally. A constant reminder to not believe the hype.

While you keep reporting on these fickle devs changing their minds, actual news worth discussing gets pushed off the list.

I didn't play the first Bioshock, but I've heard good things about it. It looked utterly tedious gameplay-wise to me but I loved the artwork. I think I should pick up the sequel; maybe they drowned the tedium. I tried to think of something witty to say about games and colons but no dice.

@Koozer, not everybody, I really dislike most of them, they smell like they're pulled out of some arse.
