Yes. It is confirmed in new details. See post # 679stuburns said:

Yes. It was fake. There are scans out there that confirms some of new information. So I assume whatever else mentioned is true.

Not using the vitachambers (just reloading) I think I clocked about 19 hours first playthrough.
Definitely was searching for all of the audio tapes (which IMO is the best part of the game). Didn't get them all.

hoooooooooooooooooooooooly fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Sorry for sounding stupid but:
So, are you like, a big, fat, slow big daddy, or some agile prototype or what? I didn't particularly like the way "playing" as a big daddy in the first game was potrayed.
also, I tried to find scans, but I swear I'm looking at fan-made images or something. Anyone can PM me or?

No wait, how's possible that
the daddy can even conceive to harvest a sister?
Also, wtf,
using plasmids??

That's because it was tacked on. I'm sure they wouldn't have you playing as a Big Daddy if it felt as cumbersome as it was in the first game.Spoo said:

Woah. Was not expecting that at all. Totally out of left field.
I think its nice that they are trying to mix things up, and not just remake the first game to look prettier. Its something thats interesting.
Does anyone know when the magazine actually hits shelfs? All the info is kinda fuzzy right now. I mean, how could you
and have Co-op?

I'm pretty sure there won't be co-op.Blu_LED said:
Edit: I hope the website is building to something. There's only one more update to go, right? Hopefully it's a trailer or something.

So basically everything from yesterday (the NYC thing, the Zoo section, Co-op, gene sliced dogs and Russians) was all bullshit?Dax01 said:

Basically. Big relief, eh?Blu_LED said:
I think the Zoo level is a good idea, though.

Thank god the original rumors were fake. Sounded so dumb.

Perhaps you are the big daddy that killed Suchong?
Well, I take it you're not playing as a "large" big daddy. I mean, based on the pics I've seen you're about the same size as a regular person -- this is a good thing, because what I worried about after hearing the news was that you'd have little agility and be, well, loud and slow.
I take it the prototypes or original big daddys weren't far off from just human size.

interesting to see how they do this... slow ass walking will get old fast.
I'm thinking this too. It's not farfetched to expect he'll have varied skills and moves differently than the other Daddiesbadcrumble said:
since he's the original, and that the ones that were produced later were dumbed down (maybe because of what happened with this one that went renegade).
Even if it's not the case, I'm sure the gameplay will be better developed
than the Big Daddy sections in the first game.

How so? Can you think of a better way?icecream said:
man, this news is really confusing me.
at first blush, i don't like the idea of being a big daddy. the premise seems off. and the image on the GI cover seems too forced to me.
but, on the other hand, i applaud the devs for going in a completely different direction than the first game...
looks like i'll just have to wait till real gameplay footage comes out to get a better idea for how they're implementing all this.

There are some gameplay screenshots around. It looks just like Bioshock.LCfiner said:
darkpaladinmfc said:
I need to see it in action. how is movement affected (if at all)? what are standard missions like in the game?
and, of course, what's the pacing and vibe? yes, i did read that it's supposed to be scarier than the first but let's see how they accomplish that.
edit. yeah, what Falvius said
Dax01 said:
Being a Big Daddy is not even the story, its the premise.
Story-wise, a lot is going to depend on how theyre going to explain why youre a rogue Daddy, and why the Big Sister is now the evil ruler of Rapture. It could be brilliant, but it could also turn out cheesy as fuck. Without Ken Levine, who knows what theyve come up with.

Not at all enthuiastic about playing as a Big Daddy. BioShock 2=Big Daddy simulator confirmed?

So you're a Big Daddy throughout the whole game or are there 2 main characters (one being the detective who's investigating the little girl kidnappings)?

You're a Big Daddy throughout the whole game, from what we can tell.Synth_floyd said:
And I just found out that Dr. Tenebaum IS involved in this game.

well, considering who the new director is, I don't think that'll be something to worry about.

The website has been updated again. Mark Meltzer is planning on a stake out near St. Johns in New Brunswick, based on the Big Sister's recent pattern of abductions. Judging from this, it looks like the website will be updated one more time.

I'm not too impressed by the new info. Playing as a renegade Big Daddy sounds so clichéd. I'd like to see them focus on the angle of people from the real-world discovering and exploring rapture which the viral site hints at. Battling this Big Sister could be good though, she sounds like Nemesis from RE3, a constant threat which could attack at any time.
I'm not going to get too excited about this just yet.
Also the harvest/adopting mechanic sounds a little strange, once you get a Little Sister, can you keep adopting them, are you limited to one at a time or can you have an army of little sisters following you around?

I finally got the mag
So far, things are looking really good. I was, at first, hesitant about being a Big Daddy, but their approach to it is really awesome, and they know the pitfalls associated with being the character in question.
I like the fact that you can now combine your plasmids with your weapons, as opposed to the "one or the other" paradigm. It'll add for extra depth in combat. Plus, the choice to focus on new and innovative weapons that are suited to the Daddy as opposed to the typical shotgun, pistol, etc will be interesting to say the very least.
One thing I wanted desperately wanted was more agility and speed than we saw from the "impersonation" in the last game, and I think we got it. The prototype Big Daddy you play is "less bulky" than the ones you see, so the balance there should be spot on. I also wanted full-body awareness; according to the article, we've got it.
The example in the article concerning a run-in with the Big Sister sounded harrowing and fast-paced. I can't wait to see something like that in action.
Overall, I'm 99.8% satisfied with the direction they're going in. The last .2 percent remains as simply unknowns (multiplayer, etc). Their focus, though, is on the SP experience, and that's exactly the way it should be. Jordan, as expected, knows what's up, and BioShock 2 should be no less than a very, very unique adventure back into Rapture. Can't wait for more info

Sweet, and this is all nice to hear, but this got my attention. You can combine plasmids with weapons? Sounds awesome. So there will be regular weapons like the shotgun and such or will there be special weapons like a Big Daddy version of the shotgun?Spoo said:I finally got the mag

Did they say anything about how much you can manipulate your environment?

I figure he would not be like the regular big daddies,I bet he can talk as well.
