Yeah, there is a novel called BioShock Rapture that was written a while back. The person who wrote it talked with the team at Irrational before adding some points in to make it true to the BioShock lore. It tells of Andrew Ryan's early life and goes up to the Civil War that broke out in Rapture. It focuses on some of the minor characters as well. It's a really good book and if you like BioShock then you'll love the novel.An Ceannaire said:Novel?Zeckt said:I wonder if it will make the novel canon.
They didn't. I won't give out any spoilers, but the world of Rapture and Columbia are related. People have been clamoring for a peek on what Rapture looked like before it went to hell, and Infinite gave the developers the avenue for it. The DLC is entirely within the lore of the Bioshock universe. Think of it has a best of both worlds; Bioshock's best characters in Bioshock's best setting.1337mokro said:What do you mean?

No it's wonderful that they basically ignore there last game like it never happened and are just catering to what will sell. At least now they can drop the pretension of being more than just another studio pumping out games.
Dude I played the game. Why would I be commenting about DLC for a game I didn't play in the first place? Plot contrivances and shoddy science aside that for me was really a low point in the game (which I didn't like in the first place) where they basically went "See we really are a Bioshock game! Now go on the internet and write about the OMG moment where you saw something you liked from the past".NemotheElvenPanda said:They didn't.

If you think about it a certain way, Rapture IS an alternate Columbia.CrazyGirl17 said:I was expecting them to do a DLC based on alternate Columbia... but this actually sounds interesting... I'll have to look forward to this...
I agree with what you said almost 100%, but you need to edit out that last part ASAP. Calling people trolls is frowned upon here. Also I wouldn't call what he said "trolling". Arrogant and jaded yes, trolling no.Azure23 said:Snip
I think that would be a VERY kick-ass cameo. Of course at this point Eleanor would still be a Little Sister so you wouldn't really be able to recognize her from the other Little Sisters, but maybe you'll pass through a lab or something where the prototype Delta is being tested.roushutsu said:So if this is taking place before the fall, can we expect Booker and Elizabeth to run into Subject Delta and Eleanor at some point? That would be pretty freaky, what with the 2 "lambs" and all.

Good thing I traded in my copy of this.
Tentacles. Military style gameplay? Troll much bro?
