GamerFitnation: "The last DLC for Bioshock Infinite is finally materializing out of the endless multiverse of lighthouses. Yes, Burial at Sea Episode Two has its trailer. Contains either SPOILERS from Infinite's Ending and Episode One or simply really confusing stuff, depending on how much you know."
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.
WTF....my brain hurts even more now
<SPOILERS>
So if Booker we played in Infinite was killed (or was he?) and the version of Comstock in an alternative universe of Columbia was the person we played in the first DLC who is shown of the floor being dragged away then what version of Booker is Elizabeth looking at. Is he a ghost, her conscience, he powers or is it the original Booker hinting that despite being drowned is still alive....at the end of Infinite you did see him in his room with Anna crying in her bedroom.
Seriously I hope Ken Levine comes out after this with a massive Q&A and answers all these questions so we are on track with the story all ready to go for the next game. I want him to say how and why there is still Comstocks out there if the whole point of killing our Booker off was to stop Comstock from happening all together, I'm guessing she's went rouge and is killing the ones still alive herself.
What about Rapture it's self....is this the same version of Rapture from Bioshock or it an alternative version of Rapture, meaning were Comstock and Elizabeth there when we were playing Jack and are they the ones who caused Atlus to get free to start his uprising setting events in motion.
I guess the guy she is seeing is her Booker, the one we played in Infinite because she calls him Booker not Mr Dewitt and he's playing the guitar linking into the song they did in Infinite.
SPOILERS
Let's be honest. Despite all the speculation and assertions, none of us are exactly sure what happened in that ending.
We don't know if she erased herself. Or if she ended the current Booker, his past self where he chose to become Comstock, or both in that scene. We don't know if drowning Booker at his baptism erased Columbia entirely, or just erased created new timelines where Anna was safe. There was no technical exposition.
All we know is that Elizabeth drowned Booker/Comstock in the past, which is in some way going to stamp out Comstock and prevent Anna from being kidnapped. In some way.
Until we get solid answers of where Burial at Sea takes place in relation to the main game, what Elizabeth's intentions are with what she's doing with Sally and Rapture's Comstock, and how it all relates to the ending we'll remain in the dark. Episode 1 did nothing meaningful with the story beyond the intro until the last 30 seconds, so that was no help.
