The sequel has players assuming control of "the first ever" Big Daddy, according to creative director Jordan Thomas. Players will be armed with a drill, and will also be able to upgrade their weapons and various plasmids.

As you liberate Little Sisters from other Big Daddies, you'll be able to either Harvest or Adopt them. Adoption apparently lets players escort a Little Sister around levels, fighting off splicers as the Little Sister harvests the all-powerful Adam from corpses.
Those unconfirmed details are listed below. Shacknews can confirm the validity of the above information, but can't yet say the same for any of the following points:

* The game is set 10 years after the first BioShock.
* There will be a multiplayer mode, but no details were given.
* The Big Sister is a grown-up Little Sister, and she's hunting you.
* Some levels take place on the sea floor outside of Rapture.
* The Big Sister will periodically pop up after you kill enough Big Daddies. Her arrival is apparently signaled by a Little Sister singing a song.
* The Big Sister is described as fast and "the hardest thing in the game." She'll utilize telekinesis to throw objects at you or use them as shields.
* Your drill overheats, and cannot be used constantly.
* As a Big Daddy, you'll be able to do that nifty shoulder bash move.
* Upgrade trees are now more diverse.
* The Incinerate plasmid allows you to throw a fireball or shoot a stream of fire, depending on upgrades.
* Using Incinerate on a Cyclone Trap will result in a flaming trap.
* You can now heal damaged turrets and bots.
* The game will reveal how Adam is recovered from Little Sisters.

The 2K Marin-developed shooter sequel is set to arrive between August 1 and October 31, 2009, and is "destined" for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The company has yet to state which versions will hit by October's end.

First one rules. I bought it on Steam too, on holiday sale and today played it for the first time (yeah, new computer so i could run it on max details <3 ) and i have to say, that this game is amazing. Game climate is pretty good, it really keeps in suspense. If Bioshock 2 will be as good sequel as HL2 was, it will be a truly epic game.

Can't waiiittttt, need!
Thx for the news, coz in france we just have the picture, with the big sisters without the text ^^.
Thx

Yeah guys it is a brilliant game, apart from the inane SUPERAWESOMEWTFZOMG mouse sensitivity, on my comp either it's too high and fine in menus, or it's fine in game but cnt use menus very well. Drove me mad but i enjoyed it

bioshock 2 looks super sexy!!

i just finished bioshock 2-3 weeks ago for the 3rd time now and i'm so looking forward to become a "real" big daddy
now lets hope microsoft is not going to pay some $ to have it exclusively on xbox for the first months (like the lost and damned for gta4)

If Lost and Damned will be available for PC/Ps3 then M$ are the ultimate suckers for paying 50.000.000$ for 2 DLC's

Very much looking forward to this. Cheers!
