DON'T look at this until after you've beaten BioShock Infinite. Seriously, come back after you have.
For the rest of you that have cleared the game, you're about to have your minds blown.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
Huh. I'd honestly never noticed that before. I thought you were going to make a comparison between the Songbird and Delta's deaths but that's actually quite interesting.
Hmmm. Id like to ask K. Levine about this. That would be quite the feat if they connected Songbirds death screen with that noise that sounds like a bird in the original Bioshock. I mean that's ultra nerd territory there.
It's a good coincidence.
Even though theres no doubt they didn't even know they'd be working on Infinite 7 years ago, this kind of gives me chills.
It's like a ghost really and makes you think that Columbia and Rapture were closer to each other than we initially thought.
To think though: Columbia and Rapture both went to hell around the same time :P
@TheOneEyedHound
Oh yeah. Stupid me. But then again there was some wibbly wobbley timey wimey stuff, what with tears and everything.
The team got the Song bird sound by going back and gathering sound(Fitzpatricks death)
No way irrational had this plot by that time.
It was probably a whale in the first Bioshock.
