I'm going to try and avoid making too many assumptions based on this footage, but it looks like a better shooter.

Modern standards? The games like, what, 2 years old?

Why would you say that?

Bioshock 2 has a pretty good chance of greatly exceeding the original, if you ask me. Jordan Thomas, the creative director on Bioshock 2, was the guy who basically designed both The Cradle in Thief III and Sander Cohen's area in Bioshock. I think Bioshock 2 has the opportunity to be quite a bit more atmospheric as a result. The first part of that Bioshock 2 footage suggests that somewhat, though the second bit is very similar to the first. We'll see, though, I think it could be incredible.
