Thoughts from attendees:
A great big write-up from Vengeancecube:
Part 1
part 2
Yes, it was cold and wet, but it was a great event. Seeing a fully costumed spot on Big Daddy, the 1st big daddy, and a little sister (as he sees her) was awesome. The drill worked, the suit had sound effect (growls and moans). The little sister danced around, looking for angles and cowered behind the Big Daddy when splicers (and there were a bunch of us) threatened her. We had plenty of time to take plenty of pictures. Everyone who was there got a shirt and they were trying to give out extras once everyone seemed to have gotten one. Yes, they showed up 5 minutes after 12. Yes, we had to move to a location a few blocks away that was a little sheltered. Yes, my son's and my splicer's masks got a little soggy and will need repairs. Yes, it's 4pm and my feet are still cold. But you know what? I was there, I was part of this and it was totally worth it. -Oliver Wentworth
First off Props to 2k, Elizabeth, and all the people who put it together, including the fans who came dressed up. I got to the pier a lil before 11am after a night of working so i was on very lil sleep. Yeah got a lil wet but after talking with the first person who got their around 9am, I didn't feel so bad for waiting an hour. Once the splicers got us and lead us to the event area with a fully dressed up Big Daddy with working drill and a Little Sister. Alot of pictures were taken and the t-shirts were handed out. I had a good time and for being on lil sleep and wet for an hour it was worth it in my opinion. Some of the people who I talked to felt the same and others had issues some of which are understandable. I think everyone needs to take into account the goal of this is to provide some fan service, I can't think of any other video game companies that have gone out of their way for their fans. I appreciate the effort which just fell on a miserable day. -FeIonious
Thanks to 2K games for the really neat event.
Not a lot of video game companies do these types of things so it's really cool to be able to go to these things. The weather was pretty lousy and it looked a little bleak there for a moment. I arrived at the pier 15 mins to 12 and counted around 60 people there. I introduced myself to Parasite (great meeting you)who had been waiting there for almost 2 hours! O_O I was hoping that not too many people traveled from far away because it almost felt like nothing was going to happen. But when the 2 splicers showed up I was very relived. It was pretty cool seeing this mass exodus of people walking thru the meatpacking dist! LOL! But it was worth it seeing that Prototype Big Daddy and Little Sister in action, especially when he spun the drill!! ^_^ Oh and we should really thank the lady that was playing the little sister because it was really cold and I could see it on her face be she was a trooper and stayed in character the whole time! -Amazonagent
Woo! That was fun! I had no idea what to expect, and when the 2 dudes with the SitS masks arrived and yelled for us to follow I was pretty hyper! -Epstein_the_swami
I had alot of fun with all the forum people! Everyone was waay cool even with all the crappy weather and freezing cold temperature. I THINK I saw Ipom (Hanging around with a tall dude in a black coat with a gold pin?), I saw Xybot, Amazonagent, and a few others. Swag aside it was a really enjoyable get together of diehard Bioshock fans. -TheParasite

Nope go aheadOriginally Posted by Judgeofwings
Gah! Another New York event! Why am I cursed to live in Utah? Lol
Now I'm totally curious about what this is going to be about...
Haha, my mom, sister, and stepdad live in Utah. Just a random factoid for you, ahha.
I am curious to know if anyone who received a mask will be going to the event? "Splicers Unite"
New York? Again? I get that Meltzer's from there and all, but c'mon..there's other major cities on the East Coast
Yeah like ProvidenceNew York? Again? I get that Meltzer's from there and all, but c'mon..there's other major cities on the East Coast
lol, I was just there this weekend.
yea or Weston WV!Yeah like Providence
Ooh! I think I may check that out if I can convince someone to go with me. Is there a time to be there?
Yeah it says at noon this saturday.
Can't go...again. I Hate Living In Scotland! Nothing ever happens here...Liz can you make a Bioshock event take place here too?
Look's like I might be going
...for me, live in Cali.
Hope it's a good one for those that are able to go!
Well, to anyone who goes, TAKE PICTURES. Seriously, this doesn't seem to have ties to SitS; it must be a Bioshock 2 gathering. So help you if you don't take pictures! GAH!
Also, be sure to pick up some shtuff for your friendly neighborhood Swami, as I can't make it either!
I think it'd be funny if some disgruntled New York Giants fan brought a "No More Manning - We Want Wilkins!" sign.Well, to anyone who goes, TAKE PICTURES. Seriously, this doesn't seem to have ties to SitS; it must be a Bioshock 2 gathering. So help you if you don't take pictures! GAH!

I would pay for someone going to wrap a turban on their heads and say "I represent the Swami called Epstein."I think it'd be funny if some disgruntled New York Giants fan brought a "No More Manning - We Want Wilkins!" sign.
Or, as an alternative, "Suresh sends his greetings."
Hey,maybe The Parasite would be willing to do that for you.
The possibilities are really endless if people get inspired. I imagine there will be a few cosplayers there as well.
You know, i just realized that several people in new york got masks from meltzer,i'm more than certain those people might be there in their masks.
Gosh i hope the do something over here too.
my brother and i are planning on going. and he asked me if we should dress up like splicers... i'm contemplating it. man i'm so excited! this is gonna be AWESOME =]
MEMEMEMEME IM GOING OH GOD YES!!!!!! Ahem I mean...I'll be attending >___>;;;
man its times like this that I hate living in California. should be an awesome time hopefully there is some pictures or even videos of the event.
I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But I'm such a dedicated BioShock fan that I will do anything to go. Anything!!!
LOL If I didn't offend about half of the people living around there I would totally do that. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for this. It completely turned my day around! I don't think I'll be dressing up or anything since walking around in the Bronx wearing a mask and a bloody shirt would most likely get you arrested. I WILL wear my Big Sister shirt thoughHey,maybe The Parasite would be willing to do that for you.
I hope to see some of you forum dwellers there!
Oh hey take your camera too so you can document EVERYTHING!!LOL If I didn't offend about half of the people living around there I would totally do that.

OMGZ! I'll ask my aunt if I can go, Quebec isn't far from NY!
Ha ha,silly Quebecois citizen,you are far from new york.Wait you don't have wings do you?
Trust me I will. If my camera dies I'll use my phone. If my phone dies, I'll use my friends phone. If her phone dies, I shall rob a tourist of their camera.Oh hey take your camera too so you can document EVERYTHING!!
I dont care if I have to drive for like 8 hours. There IS NO WAY IM MISSING THIS!Ha ha,silly Quebecois citizen,you are far from new york.Wait you don't have wings do you?
I live in New Jersey and wish I could drive up but I think my schedule says otherwise. bad luck
Launch of the demo?The Pier is one of Hudson River Park’s main event/performance spaces.
Wow,that's some determination you got there,maybe you can convince your aunt that it would be a great place to visit as an early christmas gift or something.I wish you the best of luck!
Or maybe an opportunity to play the Hunting the Big Sister demo which the press got to play at E3? Or multiplayer.

Where exactly on Pier 54 is it though?Like right next to the Holland Tunnel or a little further?
Jeez lucky bastards living in the USA where BioShock was born... and all the events take place.
Here in Holland there is nothing for me exept for writing letters to Mark Meltzer and looking to SitS every day.
I WANT AN EVENT OVER HERE DAMMIT
I'm assuming that it will be hard to miss when you get thereWhere exactly on Pier 54 is it though?
Surely the opportunity to join the Rapture family wouldn't be limited to one location and instance..would it?
Alright, now I'm just being bitter.
Well Pier 54 IS pretty long
Hmm, this is true..
