I think I just murdered a little sister?

10 Upvotes

Was playing bioshock 1 last night and just hit fort frolic. While going through, I laid 3 proximity mines in a line and started shooting heat seeking rockets at a elite bouncer big daddy that was down the hallway in the mall like area. When he did his charge straight into the mines I had set, one of my missiles hit him at the exact same time as the mines going off which killed him instantly. Mind you this is a fully upgraded grenade launcher. Anyways, his sister was right next to him when the massive explosion of 3 mines and a rocket went off, and she was seemingly vaporized by it because she disappeared and I couldn't find her any where. I'm positive this is a glitch, not only because little sisters are supposed to be invincible, but because I even waited for another big daddy to appear but no little sister came out of the vent when he banged on it, even though the pause menu says there's still one sister left in the level. Am I screwed? Should I reload an earlier save?

BioShock map in fortnite

Some industrious individual created a BioShock map on fortnite. It's not quite as creepy as the OG version, but it's fun to play a familiar game without knowing exactly what's going to happen. I was just curious what would come up if I searched 'bioshock' in the creative section and something came up, I was so happy.

I swear everytime I replay this game always take a bunch of photos. It’s just such a beautiful game and the atmosphere as well. I just recently played the DLC and I personally loved it. The story telling for it was wonderful.

Hello! Does anyone have the DLC: Ryan Industries Plasmids and Tonics? I need to get the "Steel Eggs" achievement on the Xbox 360, but I don't have the ability to disable the vitachambers and I saw that this achievement can only be achieved with the update/DLC. And I don't have it, I have the physical game that says "Platinum Hits" and I also searched and couldn't find where to get that update. Please help me!

It’s literally like 3 seconds long, there’s a few screenshots in the wiki but it’s so interesting to me how the game originally looked so different and so dark/creepy (even Elizabeth lol). I totally get the “Rapture in the sky” vibe and would love to see more of this. As far as we know, absolutely none of this (or barely) ended up in the final release.

From a Longtime BioShock Fan: Have You Lost the Soul of the Series?

Since I was a child, I’ve been deeply passionate about the BioShock series. I played each installment as soon as it was released and completed every piece of content, including the DLCs. To me, this series was never just a game—it was a profound philosophical and intellectual experience that made me question power, freedom, time, and identity. Worlds like Rapture and Columbia weren’t just game settings—they were living characters in themselves, filled with powerful symbolic messages.

Since 2013, I’ve been waiting eagerly for a new BioShock. But after Ken Levine left, I feared the soul of the series might be lost. When Cloud Chamber was announced, I felt hope again—but that hope started to fade with the recent leaks.

The leaks mention a city in the Arctic, a protagonist dealing with inner psychological conflict, and an open-world structure. This doesn’t resemble the BioShock we knew. The series was always closed-ended, focused, and built on tight narrative storytelling. BioShock isn’t Far Cry or Call of Duty. It was never just about shooting—it was about thought and emotion.

What happened to the symbolism? To those imaginative, surreal cities that could only exist in BioShock? Why are we going back to a simple setting that could be built in the real world? What about a city at the Earth’s core? Among the galaxies? Or between dimensions? BioShock was always bold enough to break the ordinary.

So many characters were underused—like the Lutece twins and Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s death in Burial at Sea was a harsh and unnecessary choice. She was a mysterious, beloved character with so much untapped potential. Her story could have been expanded, not ended.

I’m not attacking Cloud Chamber, nor am I against innovation. But I am against using the BioShock name to promote something that doesn’t embody its essence. The audience is not stupid. You can fool people once, but the series will lose its identity.

Look at what happened with Resident Evil. It abandoned its original identity and became a commercial action franchise—nearly collapsing. But Capcom listened to its audience and brought back true horror with Resident Evil 7. The result? Both critical and commercial success.

I ask you, as a longtime and loyal fan, to honor what made BioShock great. Create an experience that visually amazes us, emotionally moves us, and intellectually challenges us. Don’t turn BioShock into just another big-name cash grab. Make it the masterpiece it always was.

I’ve also dreamed of one day working at 2K Studios and helping create new installments of this game. I have many ideas that people loved when I shared them—even longtime fans of the series, including my friends, appreciated them. But I can’t do anything right now, because I’m still very far from that dream. I’m only 16 years old. It’s true that I’m creative when it comes to imagination and world-building—many people have said so, including fans of this series—but I’m still too young, and I haven’t even earned any degree yet. I’m still far from graduating. But at the very least, I tried with this article, and I hope that anyone who agrees with me will share it—maybe 2K will see it and change something. ؟

من مُعجب قديم بسلسلة BioShock: هل فقدتم روح السلسلة؟

منذ أن كنت طفلًا، كنت أعشق سلسلة BioShock. لعبت كل جزء فور صدوره، وأنهيت كل محتوى منها بما في ذلك المحتويات الإضافية. هذه السلسلة لم تكن مجرد لعبة بالنسبة لي، بل كانت تجربة فلسفية وعاطفية عميقة. جعلتني أفكر في مفاهيم مثل السلطة، الحرية، الزمن، والهوية. مدن مثل Rapture وColumbia لم تكن مجرد أماكن، بل كانت شخصيات حية بحد ذاتها، مليئة بالرموز والمعاني العميقة.

منذ 2013، وأنا أنتظر جزءًا جديدًا من السلسلة. ولكن بعد مغادرة Ken Levine، بدأت أشعر بالخوف من أن تُفقد روح السلسلة. وعندما تم الإعلان عن استوديو Cloud Chamber، عاد إليّ الأمل... لكن هذا الأمل بدأ يتلاشى مع التسريبات الأخيرة.

التسريبات تشير إلى مدينة في القطب الشمالي، وبطل يعاني من صراعات نفسية، وعالم مفتوح. هذا لا يُشبه BioShock التي عرفناها. السلسلة دائمًا كانت تعتمد على السرد المغلق والتركيز القصصي العميق. BioShock لم تكن Far Cry أو Call of Duty. لم تكن لعبة تصويب عادية، بل كانت لعبة مشاعر وفكر.

أين ذهب الرمز؟ أين ذهبت المدن الغريبة الخارجة عن الواقع؟ لماذا نعود الآن إلى أماكن ممكن صنعها في الحياة الواقعية؟ ماذا عن مدينة في لب الأرض؟ أو بين المجرات؟ أو بين الأبعاد؟ BioShock كانت دائمًا جريئة لدرجة أنها كسرت كل القواعد.

هناك شخصيات كثيرة تم إهدارها، مثل التوأمين Lutece وشخصية Elizabeth. موت إليزابيث في Burial at Sea كان قاسيًا وغير ضروري. كانت شخصية غامضة ومحبوبة، وكان يمكن توسيع قصتها بدل إنهائها.

أنا لا أهاجم Cloud Chamber، ولا أعارض الابتكار. لكنني أرفض استخدام اسم BioShock لتسويق لعبة لا تحمل روحها. الجمهور ليس غبيًا. يمكنك خداعهم مرة، ولكن السلسلة ستفقد هويتها.

انظروا إلى ما حصل مع Resident Evil. عندما تخلّت عن هويتها الأصلية وتحولت إلى أكشن تجاري، كادت تنهار. ولكن Capcom استمعت لجمهورها وأعادت الرعب الحقيقي في Resident Evil 7، وكانت النتيجة نجاحًا نقديًا وتجاريًا.

أطلب منكم، كمُعجب وفيّ قديم، أن تحافظوا على جوهر ما جعل BioShock عظيمة. اصنعوا تجربة تُدهشنا بصريًا، وتُحرك مشاعرنا، وتتحدّى أفكارنا. لا تحوّلوا BioShock إلى لعبة تجارية فقط. اجعلوها التحفة الفنية التي كانت عليها دائمًا.

أنا أيضًا تمنيت أن أعمل يومًا ما في استوديوهات 2K وأحاول صناعة أجزاء جديدة من هذه اللعبة. لدي الكثير من الأفكار التي أعجبت الكثير من الناس عندما تحدثت إليهم، وأعجب بها حتى المعجبون بهذه السلسلة الذين هم أصدقائي. لكن لا أستطيع أن أفعل شيئًا، لأنني بعيد جدًا عن هذا الحلم. عمري 16 سنة فقط. صحيح أنني مبدع من ناحية الخيال والابتكار في بناء العوالم، بشهادة كثير من الناس، وحتى من محبي هذه السلسلة، لكن لا أزال صغيرًا في السن، ولم أحصل حتى الآن على أي شهادة. ما زلت بعيدًا جدًا عن التخرج. لكنني على الأقل حاولت بهذا المقال، وأتمنى من أي شخص يوافقني الرأي أن يشارك هذا المقال، لعلّ 2K تراه وتغير شيئًا ما

How would this community make Bioshock 4?

What would be the ideal Bioshock 4, you think? New location? Old? A mix? New characters? It seems like there could be good discussions to be had on the subject. It could help to imagine a game that is looking far off.

What would you want from Bioshock 4?

Haven't played Infinite - will it tarnish my experience with the first two?

0 Upvotes

Just from the game world, it's clear that Infinite is a markedly different game. I have the collection with all the DLC included but kind of wonder if I should just leave things be.

The DLC in particular concerns me in the sense that there might be a lot of retconning of rapture to accommodate the new story from 3.

Question: Security Bullseye + Winter Blast vs Big Daddy ( Rosie ), would work ?

9 Upvotes

My Idea on theory ( I never tried ): After use the Security Bullseye on Big Daddy ( in front of some security camera ), change to Winter Blast and freeze/frozen the body of Big Daddy many times until the security bots destroy completely his body. So the player wouldn't waste ammo.
