Designing BioShock 2’s Little Sisters

Like they did with the Big Daddies, 2K have released some concept art for BioShock’s tiniest denizens, the Little Sisters.

Unlike the first lot, which showed the initial designs for the original Big Daddies, these show how 2K Marin – the developers working on the sequel – have gone about depicting the Little Sisters for the second game. And they look… well, pretty much identical. Which I guess was the point!

    As for the new look, I like it, but the "old" one wasn't bad at all.

    @badbob001: I hope they make a Bioshock game set in the 80s just so they can include that in it.

    Looks like the sister I never had.

    @Placentasaurus: They're probably malnourished and shellshocked from living in Rapture.

    Everyone looks back on the "good ol days" truth of the matter is it was just as bad then, we just didn't have the internet to spread the news.

    Their faces are too old for their bodies, and it is seriously weirding me out...

    Didn't they say they were trying to make them less creepy looking in this one, since they're on your side? Because if so, then they successfully made them more creepy than in the first one.

    They still give me the creeps!

    @2c-b: To quote, loosely, Will Smith in MIB 1:
    Wouldn't it be more frightening to see a little girl in those clothes hanging out at night on Halloween? I'd shoot her in the face.

  • FWM: must be more responsible

    @NitroAML: They hunger! Pretty sure Big Daddies are more like babysitters.

    @Ash735: But ... isn't halloween meant to be creepy, what with all the pumpkin heads and whatnot?

    I wish we celebrated it in my country :( Free candy and lots of costumes ... the only time we get that here is at a rave.

    I just hope the little sisters don't seem as generic this time round. They were all identical to each other in the first Bioshock, with exactly the same voice. After about the 3rd little sister, the illusion of them being a "person" and not merely an item in the game was gone for me.

    @TheNocturnalSun: The older ones were really clunky looking. they definitely tightened up the graphics and design for this one.

  • Jennacide

    @(Zombie) Jolan: First comment in quite a while to get a chuckle out of me.

    And I'm at least halfway happy to see that Bioshock 2 is going back on making the Little Sisters cute. When they first showed the trailer and they looked all happy and cute, I wanted to hurt someone. I mean, I'm still not happy about Bioshock 2, I fully expect it to crap on Ken Levine's vision, but at least not as much crap as thought.

    Hey little sister what have you done
    Hey little sister who's the only one
    Hey little sister who's your superman
    Hey little sister who's the one you want
    Hey little sister shotgun!

    It's a nice day to start again
    It's a nice day for a white wedding
    It's a nice day to start again.

  • Ben Nadler

    @Tuggie: Big Daddies don't need underpants. That's what the tanks on their backs are for. And to eat, there is a hose attachment for the drill, which drills up whatever they want and the hose sends it directly to their stomach, no chewing required! Yum!

    And yes I'm full of shit.

    October is coming along very slowly.

    Hey little sister, can I come inside, dear?

    @Dude From Dubai: The worst part about the existence of that song (other then the fucking horrifying video to go with it) is that it's catchy as hell.

  • Kanji08

    @DolphinHugger: I dunno if there's any symbolism or significance to it, but the same blue butterfly was in the original Bioshock 2 teaser trailer as well.

  • Tuggie

    Two questions cross my mind 1)how does a big daddy eat, 2)do big daddies have problems with underpants gnomes with plans to take over the world economy?

  • Mucudadada

    @NightBlood09: Exactly what I was thinking.

  • (Zombie) Goldwings

    @DolphinHugger: For comic effect. I mean how the hell did that butterfly get to the little sister in the first place? Dive into the ocean, bust open a window, popped some enemies in the ass and found the little sister's finger as a perfect resting place?

  • NitroAML

    The Big Daddies are bad parents. They need to let the Little Sisters get some sleep instead of working them like dogs for Adam or whatever they collect.

  • Paradox me

    Much better than BioShock's Little Sisters IMO

  • Ben Nadler

    @(Zombie) Jolan: You monster!

  • Ben Nadler

    Mr. Bubbles?...

  • Dude From Dubai

    @(Zombie) Jolan:
    THEY MAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD

  • NitroAML

    @(Zombie) Jolan: Why don't you have a nap right there?

  • Strom Thurmond

    Her eyes are fittingly haunting for such a title.

  • NightBlood09

    Reminds me of that girl from that movie the Orphan

  • (Zombie) Jolan

    I like it. Well I mean, as character design goes. Not like I like little girls. I mean I don't hate little girls, I love them. Damnit, not like that. You know what I mean right? Hold on someone is at the door. Chris Hansen?! No I didn't mean that I 'liked' little girls, just that I *BRZZZTTTTT* *Thump*

  • DolphinHugger

    What's with the random butterfly?

    Yes, don't worry, I am of the female kind.

    My thoughts exactly! I went as a Silent Hill nurse last year and the children's reactions were priceless.
