I think she was on gametrailers "Bonus Round" where they talked about exactly that - woman in the videogame business. That was quite a while ago. There were several women in key positions during the Bioshock development. Personally I think it's great.

II loved the first one. I'm not convinced of the quality of the second, but here's hoping.

Its official.  Video gamers can't talk to females.  If Brad Shoemaker can't do it, none of us can.

I don't know, I never really played the first Bioshock... It does look like they have a really passionate team behind this game though.

Oh god, what the hell happened there ? Did Brad just get out of bed ?
 
Anyway, it looks like Brad has a really good rapport with all the known personalities in the industry now and it shows in every interview he does. Or maybe he is just that charming in person. :S

  1. So first there was only one big sister now there are many?
  2. She needs to shut the hell up on the fact that BioShock 2 has MP. I just get a little bit more deterred when I hear that. This game will NEVER live up to it's big brother much in the same way as Bioshock can never live up to System Shock 2.

The first game was great.  It was exciting, mysterious, original, and felt like something new.  I think that's why a portion of us, gamers that is, aren't really interested in a sequel.   Personally, I really don't care about Bioshock 2.  The story in the first game came to a nice, satisfying conclusion.  Why can't we just leave it that way?  Of course, I understand that companies like money and can take less of a risk with a sequel, but the risk is what made the first game so interesting.  I'm sure the game won't be bad, but I think I'll keep my Bioshock experience unspoiled and skip the sequel.

Multiplayer is really looking sharp. I feel like it's going to be either super hit or horrible miss. Can't wait to get my hands on it... And I'm typically more of a single player type of gamer.

The first game was good, and this one is a little iffy. It seems like there milking the first game. Well I am not against multiplayer, I think they have been focusing to much on it. I would like to see more replay value in the single player of the sequel. 
 
Also, that chick was freaky, widest eyes I have ever seen, damn brad...

I'm a quite sciptical I think this game has potential but what they've shown just expands the gameplay which wasnt one of the best aspects of Bioshock. If they put half as much effort into the narrative and atmosphere as they did with all these new features i think the game could turn out pretty well.
 
I hold this in the same regard as Assassins Creed 2 as it's the same story, all the changes they've made while cool from a gameplay perspective kind of diminish the atmosphere and immersion which were the best parts of both games. Without that they could end up feeling quite generic but we'll see.
