Bioshock 2 confirmed information.

Spoilers my friends! Bioshock 2 has some comfirmation for us, straight from Shacknews.

• 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.
• Plasmids can now be combined. For example, mixing Incinerate and Cyclone Trap will result in a flaming trap.
• Weapons and plasmids can be used at the same time.
• You can now heal damaged turrets and bots.
• Players will explore Fontaine Futuristics, which is where the Adam energy is harvested from Little Sisters. Through this, you will learn how the Adam is recovered.
• Series creator Ken Levine is not "substantially involved" in the sequel, as he is working on the "next big game" at 2K Boston.

Okay, I'm going to do a little break down now. I don't understand how one can play as "The first Big Daddy" 10 years after the sequel. I am nervous about this little turn of events. I know that at the end Bioshock, you were effectivally a Big Daddy. But that makes you one of the LAST. So I am confused on that note.

I do like the fact that you can combine weapons and plasmids, as well as plamids and plasmids. FLAMING FUCKING BEES. Is there anything more terrifying than that? I don't know, but I'm excited to find out.

What I am not excited to find out is that the creator is not on board for this game. I hope that they remain faithful to the surreal, creepy, and strangely beautiful feeling of the game.

I am a little frightened of the find out about the how ADAM is harvested. I was drawn into the first game and seeing little girls 'harvested' will be disconcerting to me, I think. Let us send up a prayer to whatever God exists.

God exists and he is a Gamer.

Just reading this and the stuff on the viral, somethinginthesea.com, it makes me want to play Bioshock. Before this, I never really had a desire to play it.
