GTTV: Bioshock 2 Debut Gameplay Video

I wasn't sure what to expect. Seeing that footage though doesn't have me wanting it so much. Not that it looks terrible or anything. It just seems like a sneak peek at more of the same.
 
Wow that drill looked eerily similar to the halo sword lunge.

Bioshock multiplayer?

For some reason that gun reminded me of one from Prey. Footage looked good, but it looks to me like the engine is pretty much the same as before. Should be interesting. I really like the first one, so no matter what I am checking this one out.
 
That looked fantastic. Can't wait. That's the last footage that I'm going to watch. Want to be as fresh as possible for this.
 
Looks a lot like Bioshock. But the glass breaking made things interesting. Swimming around this time around?

Open-world sandbox Bioshock? :lol

Same for me. Had a few spoilers given away in the Teaser site thread. Apart from official materials, I'm on a blackout until I play the game.
 
Man this looks so freakin amazing. Bioshock has some of the best graphics this gen IMO and this looks even better! Wow.

Edit: Why is everyone expecting a two-fold increase in graphics?? Bioshock already looked great to begin with!
 
Seriously, that looked fucking great. What really stood out to me was the fluidity of the combat, and how fantastic the underwater scene looked. All the particles suspended in the water, along with all the bubbling of the air as it leaves the freshly filled room looked damn good. The combat looks like a lot more fun. Being able to use plasmids and guns at the same time, while easily switching to your drill looks like it is going to make for a lot of interesting combat scenarios.

Can't wait to play this, hopefully we will get an early demo of some sort like the first Bioshock.

So is the drill detached from the arm and replaced with guns like Robocop?:lol
He puts his hand inside of the rivet gun, it goes over his arm.
 
Amazing.

Happy they used exactly the same interface too. It pretty mush just looks like a Bioshock expansion.

Whens it out?

Duel-wielding was a nice touch.
I don't know how I feel about that. It could break the whole system.

I liked the trailer, I wouldn't go out calling is amazing just yet. Looked awfully a lot like Bioshock 1, plus the whole "defend the Little Sister" thing didn't look too amazing.
 
Made a good initial impression. Really interested to see some extended splicer/big daddy battles to check out the improved AI. I get a feeling it's fairly complete from that footage as well, hopefully indicating a summer release!
 
Holy fuck!

Checklist:

- no screen tearing (at least from the vid, who knows)
- better FOV
- atmosphere recreated
- big sister scary as hell
- drill works
- duel wielding fuck yeah!
 
Looks a bit too close to the formula, but awesome nonetheless.

Art style especially looks just as good, if not better than the first.
