BioShock Infinite DLC: Clash in the Clouds (Horde) & Burial At Sea (Rapture) revealed
- Thread starter LonelyGreyWolf
- Start date
Well, I got a Season Pass. Throw whatever you want at me, Infinite is a hell of a fun shooter and I've gotten disgustingly good at the game (what with the 50 hours I have on it). Three servings of story DLC sound nice, but CitC allows for an aspect of replayability. I think I'll have fun. Come on 12:00!
What is there to say the Rapture you enter at the end is not an alternate Rapture different from Bioshock 1 where Booker can use the spheres? Not only that but Elizibeth has so much power at that point she could probably use them no problem.

Why the long case?
Well there goes that innocence that was so appealing. Lol

I'm interested in seeing how Burial at Sea plays. From the trailers, it seems less combat focused and least thats what I'm hoping.
I want more details on the model viewer in CitC. I'm such a whore for model viewers that it will literally justify my purchase (although I quite like the combat in Infinite).

Have some money in my steam account from selling cards which makes the season pass a bit cheaper. Now that we know Burial at Sea will cost 30$ it's a pretty good deal.

So CitC should be on PS3 whenever Grace Chen decides to hit the button today?

Splitting the detective story into two parts is freaking brilliant. A great way to under deliver on a season pass. Bioshock fans should count themselves lucky that it didn't get split into 3 parts like AC3. Still not as brilliant as selling the season pass for half off during the start of the steam sale, but pretty high level trolling.

Concerning the age disparity. Could there be a timeline where Elizabeth is like in her 30's and Booker is the young naive boy that needs to be saved?
This can't be Anna though or can it? She grows up and travels to Rapture because she feels like belongs there, is pulled by an invisible force and meets a guy who has the same name and looks as her Father? Elizabeth was the name given by Comstock
Dat pessimism. Perhaps the Burial at Sea DLC will be substantial and each half unique? Aside from the obvious cliffhanger potential that comes with episodic storytelling, they've already said we'll play as Booker in one and Elizabeth in the other (!!), so it sounds rather interesting to me.
But yeah, I'd love them to make one more story beyond this -- one set in Columbia. I want to have my cake and eat it, too!
I just looked up his age and
according to a BS:I wiki he was born in 1874. That would mean in 1958 he's 84. So there seem's to be something fishy about this. Is he not the real Booker DeWitt? Or from another way different timeline where he was born later? Or is he simply that old in the game?
The Elizabeth in this
is most likely an inter-dimensional traveller too and not originally from this reality, maybe from a Comstock!reality where she manages to escape in a different manner. She's also missing the finger after all and we know how that happens, unless they're just putting that in this design as a nod to the character but that's highly unlikely.
Meh at the horde mode DLC.
Burial at Sea looks incredible though.

So am I right to assume that Booker and Elizabeth in the Burial at Sea DLC come from the same timeline as that of Bioshock 1 and 2? Meaning that the DLC is canon to those games but not to Bioshock Infinite where it is an alternate reality?

I'm trying to convince myself I can wait a year for the next Steam sale and get BI+DLC for under $30

What would had been amazing is
I really wanted DLC about how Songbird came to be. Maybe in the last piece of DLC?
If Levine didn't think of the Infinite universe earlier. We could have had a DLC for BioShock 1 introducing DeWitt and Elizabeth showing the fall of Rapture. Then in BioShock Infinite, you are essentially playing the characters again, wondering through the entire game how all of this ties together.

Yes.
Looking at that BaS art I just realizaed that
Elizabeth is missing part of her finger so the jump between universes also happened to this Elizabeth, curious to see how that will work out. Ken says in the interview that this story is integrated into the story of the main game.

She's older and world weary. No tower to keep her locked up and No Comstock influence
EDIT:
Missing Finger?! I was wrong. This could be

No it couldn't..?
Torture Elizabeth was fully committed to Colombia after said torture and would not have showed up in Rapture for no reason.
the multiple universes
NOPE.
That Elizabeth stayed in Columbia and became the old lady who destroyed NYC because she hates '80s music and red pleather.

Guys want to cringe at my stupidity?
I bought the season pass...but I have a region 3 version of the game that I purchased (cause I live in Taipei) and a Canadian PSN account.
There's no guarantee the game will even recognize the DLC.
(The system of region locked DLC is severely flawed. It's not consistent at all. It works with some games, for example Borderlands 2, and others it does not like most Sony first-party games like Uncharted 2 & 3)
If this DLC doesn't work for me, this will really fucking suck.

What? The challenge mode in BioShock 2 was kind of fun. Kind of. This looks a little better.

I keep forgetting Columbia and Rapture are parallel and can't exist in the same timeline.
Bioshock Infinite never happened. This might be before the events of Infinite. One Elizabeth opens a tear to Rapture as a young girl and decides to stay there.

I think its the same Booker or at least a version of the same Booker we played in Infinite. He still has AD on his hand and looking at the .gif of Elizabeth smoking she has the Bird pendant Booker gave her.
BS2 had better gameplay then infinite. Idk if infinite will be that good with horde mode.....but hey I like using the skyrail in firefights so who knows

I dunno, people who haven't finished the game or have yet to play it can still be interested in the DLC. I'm sure there's a few for whom it may even be a selling point if they for some reason didn't like Columbia.
Nope. Infinite has punchier gunplay, the same dual wielding mechanic and skylines. Kind of funny how many people rip on the rather excellent combat in Infinite just because they don't like shooters or didn't like how prolific the violence became, yet praise the improved mechanics Bioshock 2 had over Bioshock 1.

Holy shit

I can't say I agree. BioShock 2 had a little more variety with its array of traps and hacking stuff, but the twitch shooter frenzy of Infinite was more captivating to me. Different strokes, maaaaan.

Any word on whether or not this has hit the PSN yet?

PSN updates at LOL 'O' Clock. I think Tuesday Evening. That is today.
So furore or satisfied?
A mix of both really. I wanted to learn more about the world of Columbia, so going back to Rapture yet again is really disappointing. At the same time the conceit of Burial at Sea is really cool.
Pretty mixed on Clash in the Clouds, kind of wish that was something else too instead of a horde mode but I guess its cool its set in Columbia,

As cool as the Rapture story looks, I am more interested in understanding how all of this fits into the
thing.
multiverse
PC. My bad for not specifying
I hope so, there are some obvious parallels between Eleanor Lamb and Elizabeth and Sophia Lamb and Father Comstock, lots to explore there if they wanted.
