As seen on the Playstation blog,tomorrow's episode of Qore will cover some stuff on many games including Bioshock 2.They will be talking to the developers on how they plan to fill the shoes of it's predecessor and you might want to take a look at the preview video as they show the new Harvesting animation.

Update!: Episode 20 of Qore is out now for all you PSN users.for those of you who are either Xbox users or don't have the money i have listed the important points below:

-In Bioshock when you first met certain characters(Ryan,Langford,Steinman) you met them by television,unfortunately you were greeted by a still image.In Bioshock 2 when you meet characters by TV,you will be greeted by a fully animated image.

-Tenenbaum now has a new unique model,unlike i Bioshock 1 where it was recycled.

-Sinclair also has a cool unique model and of course we get to meet him face to face.

-Adam slugs can be picked up outside.Collecting a slug gives you +10 ADAM.

-The Gene Bank now has a new internal design.

-Hypnotize now allows you to Hypnotize splicer to protect you for a short amount of time.

-Eleanor is Now confirmed as Lambs Daughter.

-In one of the sequences Lamb tells Delta "That Symbol on your Hand marks you a dead man."

-Apparently Sinclair sold needle-filled toys to children and talks about selling your blood on the Surface.

-Occasionally when using plasmids on the Big sister she will strike you back with the same plasmids with triple the force!

Wow...I actually felt sorry for the LS with how she yelled No, NO!....way better compared to Bioshock 1...

Yes the Harvesting scene looks much more desperate.In the first Bioshock the Little sister doesn't put up much of a fight,this time around they more desperately try to escape their fate.

Do these Quore episodes still cost money?

[Judgeofwings]

Do these Quore episodes still cost money?

Unfortunately yes,i think it's $2.99 per episode.

[gbpackers25]

that harvest animation is really good! it makes me feel so bad for her!
good thing i dont harvest little sisters

[SonicBoom2]

Unfortunately yes,i think it's $2.99 per episode.

Hmm... lunch or bioshock video???

[Rosie THE riveter]

SWEET! To bad I spent all my PSN money all on Pirets Of The Caribian pack on LBP. Il see if i can find a youtube video.

[laikalappie]

The harvesting animation is out already and you guys are watching it? That's one of the things I'd really, really not want to see ... it's not really a spoiler as such, but one of the core elements of the game and I think those are to be found out by the player himself.

[iPomegranate]

Hmm, is this A sign that I can't watch it on mi iPod? I think yes. I've been spoiling myself way too much and I need to draw a line somewhere.

Yeah,Qore is a PSN exclusive service. It's a sign from the heavens!

Hey Judge, could I get a link to episode 20? I can't seem to find it

Wait. I'm not a PS3 kinda guy, is it only available on the PSN? Or will it be on the site too?

[Judgeofwings]

I'm sorry,Qore is a PSN exclusive service,posting their videos would be a violation of their rules.Which is why i'm posting the key points for those of you with Xboxes or no money.

Which reminds me,if this video surfaces on youtube,posting it is against the rules and those who post it will be penalized.

Oh. Okay. Thanks then. >.< Gahh...I REALLY WANNA SEE IT!

Thanks! Btw, any news for when this footage will ever be released for us non-ps3ers?

[Judgeofwings]

Unfortunately i don't know,but as with previous videos,i'm pretty sure similar(if not the same footage) will be on other gaming sites soon.

Oh whoa, lots of great info! Thank you!

I'm really excited to finally see unique character models and actual facial animation. That was my only negative with the previous game.

Hypnotizing Splicers? Well that's not what I had ever expected, very awesome. Though I'm not sure how I feel about a Splicer palling around closely behind me, haha! Also, when the hypnotizing effect drains away, I assume the Splicer will quickly turn on you? Better keep an eye on them I guess.

[Judgeofwings]

For those of you who have Qore,if you are wondering what the song playing is,it is I Need a Little Sugar in my Bowl by Bessie Smith.


Edit: I just edited the list with more info,read at your own risk!

WOW! teh hand mark of death?

[Kyburz]

Wow, thanks for typing that out Judge, you are the man.

Very interesting, the more I learn about Sinclair, the less I like him. At this point, when we meet face to face he had better hope that he doesn't get a drill to the face.

Can you clarify what you mean by a more "internal" design for the gene bank?

At this point, a relationship between Sofia and Delta seems virtually a sure thing. We have the quote from Eleanor about not allowing mother to toy with Delta any more and referring to him as father. Now we have confirmation that she is Lamb's daughter.

[Codex]

Wow, I'm starting to harbor dislike for Sinclair. Needle filled toys, eh? He sounds like an... interesting gentleman...

[Kyburz]

Seriously, why would he do that? I can't even imagine Fontaine trying to pull that. It should be interesting to learn more about the context of this particular event.

Something about getting them young to be Gatherers, I bet. If he was working both sides of the ADAM production war, I can imagine him trying to cement his usefulness to both sides whilst also keeping them from turning on him. Finding new ways to nab little girls to produce the ADAM would be important. As we know that conditioning was an important part of being a LS, being exposed to needles from an early age would be important.

I will try never to rationalize something like that again. I think it will give me nightmares...

[Judgeofwings]

Can you clarify what you mean by a more "internal" design for the gene bank?

Well the outside of the machine looks the same,but when you go up to the gene bank they totally overhauled the design.I'll try and get a pic.( I think that's legal right?)

I already listed that Tenenbaum has her own model a month ago on the BioShock Wiki, but hopefully someone can get a better screen of it than mine... please?

[Chronic Alchemy]

O_O Poor Little Sister! I just watched the video, and she was being harvested! That was the sadest thing I've seen in a video game...

[Judgeofwings]

Yeah i'll try and get that tenebaum pic.Here are the Gene bank pics:

-Removed pics-

[Codex]

Nice! Much more streamlined and easy to comprehend.

[brendensavi]

The visuals are beautiful, and it's so nice to see the true Tenenbaum! I can't wait to see more of her in Bioshock 2.

[MegaScience]

Why do they bother putting previews of Qore on the internet if you can only view the full episodes over a PS3? I just went through a google-spree to find a direct video I could get screens off of, but all I kept getting was the same preview.

No offense, but pictures of a TV showing it are... not so nice.

[magicman4443]

Now I kinda wish I had a PS3 just so I could watch this.

Poor Mother Goose looks pretty depressed too. I feel sorry for all that she's gone through.

And I love the age rating on the incinerate plasmid: 12 and older.

[panda rave]

Unfortunately yes,i think it's $2.99 per episode.

i have exactly £3 im my psn walet i hope its enough

The same reason they advertise system exclusive games on the tv... because people will buy it...

[MegaScience]

Well, someone needs a Capture Card, then. :/

[Judgeofwings]

This is true.
for example,you guys have the accessories and clothes for your avatar on the Xbox.Us? Not so much,it's all about money.

[Chronic Alchemy]

-_- yeap... Judge... You think you can give us 360s and poor peoples a video link? *wink, wink* You know what must be done...

[Codex]

This is true.
for example,you guys have the accessories and clothes for your avatar on the Xbox.Us? Not so much,it's all about money.

Forsooth! I shall not join that fad of avatar dressup! "You guys and your clothes for your avatars." *scoff* I am offended. I should have let the rebellion in the cult sacrifice you as they intended >.>'

But yeah. System exclusive moolah. I'd just rather they put their cash into making the RROD not exist, not that it actually has effected me...

To get back on topic, those pictures of Tennenbaum looked great! As did that one of Sinclair. That man is probably going to end up getting a drill to the face when I see him...
