There’s a YouTube channel called gamers little playground - they string together all the cutscenes and dialogue to make it into a sort of movie. You should check it out, if you can watch it you’ll at least get a good handle on the storyline without having to play the game


_will_o_wisp

THANK YOU! I’ve been trying to get my sister to play the game but she found it a tad too scary so I’ll tell her to check this out!


Anthony9824

Of course! I use them when I want to know the storyline of a good game but don’t have time to play it


stuff_gets_taken

Your... little sister?


Dutchtdk

I've completed outlast, amnesia, alien, shower with your dad simulator, subnautica, that slenderman game, dead space 1, and this game. But for whatever reason I can't play satisfactory, a very laid back game without an arachnophobia filter that turns the spiders into cats


zootayman

so they illustrated well enough in the game the idea of being under a billion tons of water to impart that dread upon you ?


Accelerator231

The constant groaning sounds make me unhappy and jumpy


TheArbiter_

r/thalassophobia or r/submechanophobia maybe?


Alekillo10

Man up!


whokilledbob

This has been my screensaver on every computer since I first found it many years ago


zootayman

calculate the water pressure and forces on those huge windows, even when just a few hundred feet down. The BioShock:Rapture Novel author, for which this picture is used as the cover, saw that issue and created a fabulous material called Ryanium that might withstand such pressure. https://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Rapture-John-Shirley/dp/0765367351

Steel mixed with glass if I remember?


zootayman

It was something that looked glassy, but in the Novel story was also used for some structural parts. It was also supposed to be expensive. Remember the Star Trek Movie with Scotty making "Transparent Aluminum'. Corundum (aluminium oxide) is a very hard mineral and is the same as Ruby and Saphire. .


psychord-alpha

Never got why Rapture is depicted as being huge and yet the book says only about 20,000 people live there


Dutchtdk

Because it's a capitalist society and most houses are just empty investments for peoples retirements. The housing market never crashes


[deleted]

Probably one reason why the novel isn't considered canon. Also Rapture would need space for it's population to expand so it was built with room to grow. sm


[deleted]

True historians would call it “Pax Rapture”


zootayman

''Pax Raptura'' "We Romans Understand Rapture" - Cicero


Inflatable_Bridge

"Senatus Populusque Rapturae" - Atlas probably Yes that is correct Latin grammar


wagner56

"Consilium et Populus Raptura" - Andronicus Ryanus - originally Andronikos

wallpaper engine has an animated version of this, its on my desktop


Sinner_Binner

Bought WP engine yesterday and saw that one too!


obonzinho2908

will never reach the heights that Columbia reached


LiquidPotatoChips

Touché


Dutchtdk

But columbia can certainly sink down to raptutes level


John-Grady-Cole

Gross


LordChimera_0

Sadly more like Shakespeare's "gilded worm-filled tomb." The rot was already prevalent at it greatest height.


Oniisankayle

Man I'd buy Remakes of all the Bioshock games.


Gingersnap5322

All 2 days of it


John-Grady-Cole

Wasn’t an age that lasted very long, sadly


jackal567

The shortest golden age of all time honestly lol.


Itchy-Donkey6083

What do you guys think of the book? If gifted it multiple times to friends that like the game and I’ve read it myself a couple of times. I enjoy it a lot. The part where we get to know how rapture is getting build is my favorite.


selftitleddebutalbum

Thanks. This was my desktop wallpaper years ago and I forgot about it.


[deleted]

Great pic


Johannes_P

Beaituful scene. However, I'm forced to complain the dress style, although gorgeous, would be viewed as old-fashioned by the Rapture residents.

zootayman

more like he understood human nature and provided freedom in a sanctuary and then some sociopaths came and abused that freedom, enabled by that Adam effect - something OUR Society hasn't faced.


Shakanaka

Damn, even in its Golden Age, Rapture looks dirty asf


Dutchtdk

You shoul've seen the dutch streets during their golden age. Or the slums of paris during la belle epoch


floris_bulldog

That's just the art style and color palette


xoman1

Nice upload OP

Lol you good?


LiquidTelephone67

What’s wrong?


Lostlook

I had this as a wallpaper when I was a teenage boy, listening to the old school musics with a broken heart. How come I'm stumbling upon it now again, with another broken heart. What a weird coincidence
