More info from the famitsu article:
-Actually.... I think one of the goals they are trying to achieve with the foreign characters is to show how westerners would react in a culture foreign to their own, in a survival horror setting. In other words, adding a new perspective to Japanese horror. It goes on to say how the new gaijin characters will be scenarios where they interact with the original Japanese cast.
-Much of the episodes and scenarios will be different from the first game, as well as the flow of the game.
-Sight Jack system will now be adjusted so it doesn't interfere with the flow of the gameplay now, but further details were not given.
-Shibitos will be faster, more aggressive, and will have new variations of movement, such as destroying through obstacles to attack you. So basically, the game is now much harder compared to the first game if you choose to not use any weapons.
-Basically I think the only thing that will be the same as Siren 1 is the setting, and the original cast.
