It seems "you don't play just any Big Daddy in Bioshock 2. You play the first ever." --Jordan Thomas, Creative Director (Excerpt)
Seems interesting, let's see if there's another Bioshock fiasco like last time. Methinks they wised up this time around and will do WS support properly, but it remains to be seen. If you want full article, look for the magazine when it hits shelves, there's a 6 or 8 page spread with a bonus Bioshock 2 poster. I would tear out and take a picture, but alas, no camera anymore.
Also confirmed in the article, Bioshock 2 will have multiplayer action.
