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.

EDIT: The cipher is ROT13, use that to read all the CODE sections.
There is a lot more guys (this is just under half of it), let me know if you're interested.

Wow, that's so amazing, it brings back so many memories. Awsome! I had one of these when I was a kid, except the wheels fell off.

Cool.

The first game had some faults, sure. But i had a lot of fun playing it and the visual design was pretty keen. I look forward to #2. (not poo)

Not only do sequels often suck, IMO they are going to have to focus on making Bio 2 more interesting just to maintain interest. The level design and many gameplay features of Bio 1 were good, but the repetitious enemies and dialog got old real fast. The audio also cut out a lot and was poor quality for the weapons. I really didn't see where harvesting all the Little Sisters had an adverse effect as they made it look either, because in the end, they're all willing to help you anyway.

One thing I don't get about Bio 2 though is how will they keep the Bio feel after having showed many if not most of the monsters escaping above water at the end of Bio 1? Is it still going to be an under the sea adventure/horror game or will we be on ships, islands or mainland? Seems to me Bio is all about underwater habitats. Then again they could have it so those that escaped were driven into another underwater site being constructed somewhere.

Did you bother to ROT13.com the code sections? It explains there.

Ha, no I missed that. Had you put it in in the first place rather than editing it in via a very small paragraph at the bottom of those huge code sections I probably would have seen it.

Sounds like they've added some much needed improvements to the gameplay. I just hope there will be more variety of monsters and hopefully the view won't be as restricted as the Big Daddy helmet was in Bio 1.

It's not meant to be largely advertised, you understand why.
