Sounding awesome!
I dont want to get carried away (as I have said before, no Ken Levine means im a little dubious) but that sounds brilliant!
Crazy Mutants, Co Op, Russians and Underwater Squid Fights (so far ...)?
Count me in!

Co-op? Oh come on! What's the point of a creepy atmosphere in a twisted underwater world if you're gonna have a loud-mouthed American teenager screaming in your ear? If they add multiplayer, they will kill the franchise in my eyes. 
Edit: Oops, got a little carried away there, I guess I don't have to play with anybody else if I don't want too.
Yes, just as I was expecting there are going to be underwater bits, sounds good. And I agree with the comment above, the beggining does sound very exciting. Can't wait. I hope they give us a new trailer soon.

I loved the first game and hope the second is as good but my expectations are starting to drop. no Ken Levine, Soviets. its starting to sound like a generic fps. |

Although I hate making judgments until the game is actually in my hands (and I hate reading previews but I just. can't. Help it!), My heart sank a little when I read "Underwater sections"
One of the main things I really liked about the first was the lack of swimming/underwater levels...
For me it's up there with the dreaded "mine cart" level...
But I have faith in them... I'm sure they'll pull it off in such a way that i'm not even aware of it, so to speak.

exactly. the amount of people who've been moaning about co-op modes and having screaming american teenagers playing with them is crazy. this is what your friends are for. i played through Gears 1 & 2, Crackdown and Halo 3 co-op on the xbox and am running through COD:WaW on the PS3 with friends and it just adds to the experience especially in squad based games where i.e. you can get one of your mates to take the sniper out whilst you cover him.
if implemented properly co-op adds to the game and if you just play with friends it will usually be more enjoyable.
but no big daddy's somehow i think we'll see one in there somewhere.

The problem is how do they work co op into the story. You're on your own so how do they work in someone suddenly coming along and giving you a hand. |

this has a lot of potential. i think coop could work brilliantly if done right.
having soviets in it sounds a bit dodgy though |

i was just meaning co-op in general. i've no idea how they're gonna work it in to this.
possibly the sole survivor of a boat crash, or a prisoner the russians have brought with them. either that or its his wifey whom he couldn't trust enough to leave in the house. i'll leave that to them but as long as its implemented properly with a decent story it should be good.

they've been replaced witht the big sisters then.
Its a shame but it makes sense.
The opening does sound good and i'll be happy to see more of rapture. So long as the ruskies aren't just generic soldiers i'll be happy especially if they've already been partaking of a lil adam.

I'm not convinced that sounds good.
Co-op I can deal with. It is possible to retain the spook-factor with another person, as long as neither of you is singing or doing something stupid. Sort of gives it a buddy-cop movie feel 
But bringing in the other human enemy seems to be a little bit on the gung-ho side. That's more action than atmosphere and I'd assume most of the forces would drop ammo so the tension could be lost.

i can see the game maybe starting like that until the ruskies get exposed to the old adam. then they'll probably start the descent into Rapture madness after that.

maybe you're on the boat with someone else in the begining and you both get taken to rapture. in single player perhaps they get bumped off at the beginning and you carry on. in co-op they don't get bumped off a player2 assumes control.
maybe not...
sounds good anyway as long as the russians get a bit f'ked up down there as well just to give it an edge.

Maybe the co-op will be respective parents. You know people will get pissy if they constantly end up playing as the Mum...

co-op, no! please have a f**king option to turn it on and off god damnit.
mutated zoo? HELL YES, ditto to the underwater, clever soviets and squid bashing.
i've no doubt it'll be awesome, sad to hear about the big daddies but the big sisters are the new black. |

You could befriend the narwhal, become one with their brood, then use telekinesis to throw them at the giant squid!
Aaaahhh, the possibilities are endless...

spliced up monkey fish for the win or fire breathing tigers, intelligent pandas with the ability to talk and throw lightning would also be good.
the posibilities are endless.

Nope, it just hasn't been long since I watched Futurama (Bender's Big Score??) where Fry adopts a Narwhal. They're just so ridiculous. Kinda like the platypus, a practical joke by God. |

Is that last part a Pratchett nod or am I sad?
The majority of our antipodean animal friends are f*cked up. I always expected the platypus (or platypii cos it sounds funny) to be this sizeable, cantanckerous duck monster. I was quite surprised when I saw one in Taronga zoo and realised I could fit it in my shoe if I so desired.
