Looks interesting, at least the setting. So far we've got nothing else on this, like if it innovates more than Bioshock 2 did.
Most of that is just setting info I already gathered, but one tidbit is very nice to hear: the NPCs will all have distinct personalities. I like hearing that. I also hope the "moral choices" amount to something a bit more subtle than "Lincoln or Hitler".
Not really that interested in more Bioshock, even though Bioshock 2 is still supposed to be pretty good despite lacking the originality and uniqueness of the first game.
They're at least going for a new setting this time, which does pique my interest a bit. The franchise is also going back to the original development team, so there's that too. And the steampunk style looks even more amped up, with clanking gears and airship and Victorian architecture.
Moral choice was really a non-factor in the original, since it boiled down to a single question "Do you want to be evil or good?". Despite the characterization by the staff that it was tough choice, on account of their being a limited supply of Adam, you could easily make your way through the game with killing the Little Sisters, which simply made the moral choice an issue of preference. Hopefully it will be more fleshed out this time.
Interesting setting, yeah, but I agree... what will the gameplay be like?
