@ Matt: Cant tell from the scans, but what can you say of the graphical leap from Bioshock 1?

Nice find Matt.

@ Icon : I'm sure there will be no major differences graphically. My theory is that the graphics in Bioshock 2 will simply be polished, and a bit more detailed.

As Schaffin said above, I don't think the graphics are going to blow you away. To get a little more in depth, just think, they are still going with the modified UE3, the graphics will be a little better than Bioshock. I think the major difference you will notice is the animation of the splicers. They are going to have more animated faces for one. And I also believe that the contract with Nvidia and Take-2 will bring light to the new PhysX technology http://www.bioshock2forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=53. So, maybe the graphics wont jump an awful lot, but the surroundings, explosions, personal touches, and the fact that we will have the ability to be underwater (I'll Post my thoughts on that in another thread). I think we will be greatly satisfied with what we get, even if it isn't a huge improvement in graphics.

To be honest, I was not expecting any remarkable graphical leap, however if they improve greatly upon texture inconsistencies (low res and hi res) and texture streaming lag (You know, when you load a game, it takes like 3 seconds or so for the higher res to appear), I would be happy. I guess you can't tell those from the screenshots.
