I always thought songbird was a brainwashed big daddy version of booker and the dead big daddy at the end was symbolic of him getting killed by Elizabeth when she drowns him
I mean, to be fair Elizabeth was grieving over the death of Songbird. They're the Columbian equivalent to the Little Sister and Big Daddy. It's truly symbolic.

"Anna? Is that you?" That when he opened the door. That just made my heart sink.. Goddammit I can feel Booker's emotions, his regrets and sadness at the loss of her daughter and he's hoping to see her at her crib.. Why would you make me feel this way?
this game yanks on the heartstrings along with morals in one fell swoop. the little sisters always got me before infinite and the ending of the first burial at sea got me like really bad.
one of the things I LOVE about that scene is that, in the original version, the lyrics say "there's a better home a waitin', in the sky, in the sky." but in the game version, it's slightly altered to "is a better home a waitin', in the sky, in the sky?" it's just perfect
I figured that might have had something to do with when they ambush Booker at the ticket desk, sort of a "Make sure its her" type thing. But still, good ear.
Thing is Comstock knows her name is Annabelle, so I assumed that they were just making sure it was her before the ambush in the station. AD = Annabelle DeWitt
When you meet the twins trying to play the songbird tune on a piano, if you wait for a while instead of taking the paper, they'll play a different tune..
When you get your first Shield/Salt/Health upgrade, try melee attacking Rosalind Lutece and all attacks will go through her, and she mocks the player saying "Miss" or "You Missed". She has quite a variation of voiceovers for that line, so it's quite amusing to do.
Honestly Infinite's story is pretty lacking. Bioshock 1 or System Shock 2 are old, but much better. If you think that time travel is what made the plot gripping then I suggest watching Donnie Darko. It takes that plot base much more creatively than "you are the bad guy from an alternate future" did. And for some reason both Bioshock and Donnie Darko have covers of Tears for Fears being important in them?
This is the reason why I love these kinds of videos. It's the little things that you might have missed, or seen but didn't recognize at the moment. I do find some of these by myself, but I can't find them all, primarily because I wasn't even born when that music was popular. This video was very enjoyable with good explanations, and high production quality. Great work, you just earned yourself another subscriber! Games truly are pieces of art... Too bad people don't see them that way.
This is by far one of the best videos I've ever seen on youtube. Comprehensive, well researched, beautifully put together, interesting content. Marvellous. Great job. I was fascinated.
You forgot one. In the asylum you have to pull a lever and once you do and turn around there is a boy of silence right behind you. This replicates a moment from Bioshock, where in you find yourself in the hospital and you enter a surgery room. You can search a table and once you turn around there is a spliced up surgeon right behind you. Both will immediately attack. This most likely insinuates that these moments happen at the same time in both universes.
I remember encountering that boy of silence. I went to move backwards, and realized something was behind me. I then proceeded to turn around and completely shit my pants.
I agree that it is probably a nod to that moment in Bioshock 1 but it can't happen at the same time as Bioshock is set in 1960, Bioshock Infinite occurs in 1912 so quite a gap I'm afraid.
I always think this, when a person is hit by possession, they are being possessed by Romeo and Juliet, this is why people kill themselves after the effect wore off. Now remember in the famous play written by William Shakespeare, *Spoiler Alert*, Romeo killed himself cause he couldn't be united with his love Juliet, so he drank poison, and in return Juliet kiss the lips of her lovers corpse and stabs herself.
Oh shit, that's actually a really good theory. Possessing someone with the overwhelming ideals of those who would both willingly kill and die for the one they loved.
SPOILERS Fun Fact: Preacher Witting, the character who is holding a baptism when you first start the game, has white pupils meant to signify he is blind. He then nearly drowns ("Baptizes") Booker and so the game progresses. At the ending we see him again, as the preacher who baptizes Booker and therefore facilitates the birth of Comstock. Even though when Booker was first baptized after wounded knee,and he would have looked similar to the Booker we know (i.e. no beard), Preacher Witting does not recognize him as he can no longer see him. Sorry if this was already posted, just found it amusing on my second playthrough
I think that the last extra ending after the credits is a tribute to the experiment Schrödingers cat since you cant prove that Anna is in her bed or not, therefor she is both. (look it up, it's proof to the multi-dimension theori which the BioShock infinite game is all about).
+Isac Andersson Comstock nods to Schrodinger in one of the voxophone recordings. [ refering to baptism ] "Perhaps that swimmer is both sinner and saint, until he is revealed unto the eyes of man."
Likewise what the other guy said you don’t know if you kept her or sold her you don’t know if you comstocked or bookered it. But for one moment you don’t know so you’re at peace
It is a reference indeed, In the original Bioshock or Bioshock 2(I can’t remember) there’s a part in the game where you enter a freezer and inside it you can find a dead frozen cat with the legend “schrödinger” on it, so yes, that theory’s been around in the games a while ago
Yo ! To people who will read this comment here's a piece of advice to beat that final part in 1999 mode : - Spread a lots of traps all over the way of your ennemies; they'll be slow and it will be easier to destroy them (Shock Shockey, Devil's Kiss,...); - Don't forget to use your Vigor Undertown to push the rockets ennemies overboard; - The Motorized Patriots won't attack you cause they're focusing on their objective (destroy the energy source) : you can place some free hits behind them with your Sky-Hook + the gear "ELECTRIC TOUCH" or the gear "ELECTRIC PUNCH (DLC)" : very very effective; - Use and take advantage of the map : there is a LOT of Medikit, Salt infusions and you can use the Sky-Lines to push the rockets ennemies overboard; - Songbird should be used 4 to 5 times in a quick battle : keep in mind you need to use him strategically for the two last zeppellin (don't call him everytime you see the Motorized Patriots); - The bigger are the ennemies you destroyed with Songbird, the more you will need to wait; Good luck and don't forget... "One thing I've learned: if you don't draw first, you don't get to draw at all."
***** Well,especially after Burial at Sea ep.2 where they explain the relationship between elizabeth and songbird in more detail,you can tell they definitely had a more personal relationship,rather than songbird simply being programmed to defend her.That being said he was made to protect her aswell so i'm sure that played some sort of part in it.
OI! AT 22:12 THAT IS NOT THE WHOLE EASTER EGG! 451 is a nod to Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. This is also suggested by "Firemen" being people that light fires instead of stop them, which is a main point of the book.
Technically no since someone is retroactively stealing it though even still, they aren't plagerizing Fink, they just happen to be thinking of the same lyrics.
it intersects different, its not only out of the future but can also be out of an other dimension, so it would never exist in the dimension booker and liz are inso who knows?
I think Bioshock Infinite is a unique game,with a beautiful visual & storyline, to me more than Bioshock or System Shock series. Yet the game still feel underrated to most gamers.
25:00 That's actually a really amazing way to pinpoint the point in time when Booker and Liz appear in Rapture. Now everytime I replay Bioshock and get to the piano part, I'll think "Ah, Booker and Liz are here!".
Booker DeWitt The none-too-subtle implication of superiority in this statement is ignorant at best. Firstly, it is nowhere near accurate to say that a person of at least mild intellectual capacity (that is, someone who enjoys a well-crafted story set in a fantastically intricate world/universe) is a lonely, unkempt basement dweller. Secondly, it is nowhere near accurate to assume that a lonely, unkempt basement dweller is lesser than yourself. I would clarify those points, but you wouldn't understand the reasoning (praise be to 'murica). It may be of importance to note that you chose Booker DeWitt as your handle, publicly acknowledging your preference for this game over multiplayer games, thus making you a pot-bellied basement dweller. Good luck with your voice-over work, and your receding hairline.
Something worth noting; in Alone in the dark 2 ( originally released in 1993, ) 2 of the books in game mention Booker Dewitt, Elizabeth Comstock and their relationship. So either those 2 names have some kind of historical significance or 2k borrowed the names for Bioshock infinite.
This was awesome! All the easter eggs were put in the game very carefully and every single detail in the bioshock games has its own reason. That's why I love this series!
The Saddest parts were 1-Little Sister crying near Big Daddy. She is vulnerable, defenseless, and is scared 2-Songbird's death. His green eyes before he died showed he was happy. There's a theory going around with evidence that Songbird( "Booker") is trying to protect Elizabeth from main character Booker
It's not theory, it's plain fact. The ending shows that booker and Comstock are the same person and that comstock/future booker is using songbird to protect Elizabeth from his past self aka present booker. That's why our booker is the "false shepard" because Comstock (future booker) is trying to prevent his past self (our booker) from taking his daughter back.
yep.. all the events that led up to it where booker sees the baptism that turned him into comstock, the visuals, background music. gotta put my everything to try to hold back the tears.
so i think it is important to notice that the big daddy and the little sister are a mirror of songbird and Elizabeth. When song bird dies, Elizabeth walks off, and you are left seeing the little sister mourning the big daddy's death. Elizabeth also mourns songbirds death.
True, but the Soft Cell version is arguably more popular and they used a lot of songs from the early 1980s, so maybe it's their version Fink covered maybe it's not.
Le Denis What are you talking about their version? It is the exact same song because Soft Cell covered it from Gloria Jones. The popularity of a cover does not change the original artist of a song
Mind-boggling how well put together this video is, the presentation of the EEs fits the theme of the game and feels authentic, research was obviously done aand it's well edited. Great work
It's not lost on me, having played the DLC, that Elizabeth is sadly watching as the Songbird sinks down while a Little Sister is weeping for her deceased Big Daddy in the background.
@kylethej3775 that's the problem though. We're comparing each game to each other and saying one is great over the other. In doing so, we don't really give the proper merit each one deserves. In my opinion, Bioshock 2 is the best, but as standalone games, they're all great. Had to add my two cents after after these 2 years 😂
I had vaguely heard of BioShock before the Collection, even watched this video before I got into it. Now I'm in absolute love with the franchise. So, yeah, I'm here.
The Collection was the worst set of remasters I have ever seen. The only good thing they did was remove the physics frame capper in 1 and 2. In the remastered Bioshock 1 and 2, the texture quality was inconsistent, the lighting was worse than the original versions, and there was reported to be loads of crashes in the remastered Bioshock 2.
Holy Cow! That second to last Easter Egg about Songbird's dying screeches being in Bioshock 1 literally gave me a chill and goosebumps. That is so awesome, of course I would have never put the two together since (obviously) I played 1 first, and months before Infinite was even out. That was about the only easter egg I didn't realize as I was playing Infinite.
What this doesn't mention is that the "Revenge of the Jedi" reference was actually a hidden spoiler: It hints at the fact that Booker is Elizabeth's father, as the huge reveal/plot twist of Return of the Jedi was that Vader was Leia's father. Subtle hints. Very subtle.
This game makes 'The Last of Us' look like a trip to the park. Better in every single way. Graphics, A.I, story, characters, everything. A work of art.
+The Zachvolt cause Bioshock. i think the whole series, doesn't get the amount of attention it deserves. also Irriational Games, the developer of Bioshock Infinite. their studio has been closed in 2014 which is just after ps4 and xone have been released
When I saw that last post-credit scene, I chose to believe that Anna/Elizabeth was in her crib. I haven't played any of the DLC, but I like to think that Booker stuck with Anna after all, and there is a universe where Booker and Anna lived out their lives happily. And then died of the Spanish flu 20 years later, because everything was awful back then.
For me, the game was beautifully made. I still come back and watch all the videos just to relive the whole thing. With regards to the bit with Anna at the end, I like to think she's there. It actually makes me quite happy believing that she grew up to be an Elizabeth type character, but one with a better childhood and a father who (maybe is subconsciously aware of what had happened) cares for her. This is the only game so far that I have played that has invoked that level of emotion from me
While Soft Cell's cover of it made it famous, "Tainted Love" was composed by Ed Cobb and sung by Gloria Jones in 1964. Just a fun fact I didn't learn until recently myself!
The siphon speakers, the huge speakers you come accross before meeting eliz are playing Everybody wants to rule the world. It takes a long time listening to them to hear it. Not necessary to speed it up or slow it down, its just distorted.
I recently played Bioshock 1 again (Collection - PS4), and I noticed that the sound that sounds like Songbird's voice repeats SEVERAL TIMES in that area that Jack is in Bioshock 1, and in other areas as well.
Haven't played this through again since shortly after it came out. Pretty much forgot everything in it, and most of my memories of it were foggy and incorrect. So I basically got to relive it for the 1st time again. Just wow... this game is so good. And it is beautiful too. Even if at times the models are rough around the edges, the art style is so beautiful. What a game.
+Greg Lyris most of the songs like that were arranged by Scott Bradley, he does a lot of stuff like that on his own with modern music along with his band Postmodern Jukebox
I love this game so much and I played the first two bioshocks all the way through. They really put their heart into making a great game. That's really the difference between giving a fuck and not giving one.
Exactly! That easter egg was the coolest in my opinion. If you were really involved in the games, it is kind of shocking to think that Jack was paying attention to the piano guy dying while another shocking event (songbird's death) was happening...
***** It's very probable as well, of course. I just like thinking it was actually done thinking "ahead of time". Makes me get more attached to the game d:
I wonder if they really did think that far ahead... And if they didn't, what was that noise supposed to be originally? I'd like to ask the guy who put it in.
Published almost 7 years ago. Here's a couple more tidbits. It's a funny coincidence that the B-Sharps from the Simpsons were originally going to be the group singing "God only knows". The music credits at the end of Infinite state that the song was performed by "A Mighty Wind". The coincidence is "A Mighty Wind" is a 2003 film about a folk singing group starring Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest, and Michael McKean. All three of whom have The Simpsons voice acting credits. If you like the retro arrangments of the music, look up Scott Bradlee, who is also in the music end credit listing, and listen to the numerous "Postmodern Jukebox" songs on UA-cam. *edited for typos*
SPOILERS He is booker #137 because of the heads on chalk board which means he tried 136 times before to get Anna back but failed.... But Easter egg #23 aka last Easter egg in video has him after credits saying Anna is that you with baby music does this mean some how booker #137 finally succeeded correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't know any more this whole game is an absolute mind fuck
+Payton Shaw one question...did you count all the heads on the chalkboard? Im just curious....And about your theory, I have the same opinion, or i just want Booker to be finally happy and thats why i'd like to think he finally succeeded...
12:33 In Emporia you will find a broken building next to the cementery, inside you will find a tear with music, next to it you will find a voxophone, it's from Fink to His brother, Fink says he doesn't know who he's stealing the music from but he'll become Columbia's Mozart, so that's why se can hear a cover of "tears for fears" and "girls just wanna have fun" P.D: i am a fucking clown, it paused the video at that minute and then you explained it 💀
the bioshock series was one of the biggest kick in the pants for me that got me into gaming. I love all of them but infinite really takes the cake but I never realized how much attention they put into the music. in my opinion, every song sounds a lot better in Columbia than in reality. :)
I love the whole music and tears thing. It really tries to make two of different time periods and it rocks the hell out of it. In love the with the covers as well- so beautiful.
"Will The Circle Be Unbroken" is a reference to the infinite theory of the game.
also a song by the beetles or john lenon alone
@@WaveTheConqueror there are two different versions of this song "will the circle be unbroken" and "can the circle be unbroken", the beatles nor john Lennon performed either version of this song. They did have the song Circles.
Johnny cash did perform a version of this though
The song as it appears in game is an old folk-era Christian hymn. It's been remade by a number of people over the last hundred years in various ways.
that one with the songbird screaming and the piano guy dying gave me goosebumps. wow.
Same dude! My eyes opened like O.O whoa
Me to! My heart started to beat fast as if Elizabeth and Booker were watching Songbird die all the way back in 07 when I wasn't really aware of the significance of that noise... I was sure it would roughly sound like but its the SAME screech... god its immense
I think it wasn't planned, as it was only a sound effect they reused. You can actually hear it in other moments in the first and second Bioshock.
9Kualalumpur Yeah but the guy had a bird mask on and stuff.
Maybe they went back to see key moments and possible link ups from past games and this one worked... ESPECIALLY because the piano playing character is so insignificant there is no real rhyme or reason for it, forcing fans to question and wonder which is great compared to the easy explanation.

I'm pretty sure in one of the loading screen text it states that possession victims commit suicide due to remorse for their acts.
Spoiler alert, Magellan circumnavigated the globe.
Goddamnit, stop stealing music from the future.

SPOILERS
Fun Fact: Preacher Witting, the character who is holding a baptism when you first start the game, has white pupils meant to signify he is blind. He then nearly drowns ("Baptizes") Booker and so the game progresses. At the ending we see him again, as the preacher who baptizes Booker and therefore facilitates the birth of Comstock. Even though when Booker was first baptized after wounded knee,and he would have looked similar to the Booker we know (i.e. no beard), Preacher Witting does not recognize him as he can no longer see him. Sorry if this was already posted, just found it amusing on my second playthrough
In the "Speaker room" or Syphon room or whatever you wanna call it, before you meet elizabeth, she is humming "Everybody wants to rule the world."
to be honest i thought she was humming will the circle be unbroken well i meast up xD
I think that the last extra ending after the credits is a tribute to the experiment Schrödingers cat since you cant prove that Anna is in her bed or not, therefor she is both. (look it up, it's proof to the multi-dimension theori which the BioShock infinite game is all about).
+Isac Andersson Comstock nods to Schrodinger in one of the voxophone recordings. [ refering to baptism ] "Perhaps that swimmer is both sinner and saint, until he is revealed unto the eyes of man."
Likewise what the other guy said you don’t know if you kept her or sold her you don’t know if you comstocked or bookered it. But for one moment you don’t know so you’re at peace
It is a reference indeed, In the original Bioshock or Bioshock 2(I can’t remember) there’s a part in the game where you enter a freezer and inside it you can find a dead frozen cat with the legend “schrödinger” on it, so yes, that theory’s been around in the games a while ago

You should see the walkthrough of the second (and preferably the first as well) of the burial at sea DLC, it might change how you see it.

Yo !
To people who will read this comment here's a piece of advice to beat that final part in 1999 mode :
- Spread a lots of traps all over the way of your ennemies; they'll be slow and it will be easier to destroy them (Shock Shockey, Devil's Kiss,...);
- Don't forget to use your Vigor Undertown to push the rockets ennemies overboard;
- The Motorized Patriots won't attack you cause they're focusing on their objective (destroy the energy source) : you can place some free hits behind them with your Sky-Hook + the gear "ELECTRIC TOUCH" or the gear "ELECTRIC PUNCH (DLC)" : very very effective;
- Use and take advantage of the map : there is a LOT of Medikit, Salt infusions and you can use the Sky-Lines to push the rockets ennemies overboard;
- Songbird should be used 4 to 5 times in a quick battle : keep in mind you need to use him strategically for the two last zeppellin (don't call him everytime you see the Motorized Patriots);
- The bigger are the ennemies you destroyed with Songbird, the more you will need to wait;
Good luck and don't forget... "One thing I've learned: if you don't draw first, you don't get to draw at all."

Hmmmm you might have a point

Well,especially after Burial at Sea ep.2 where they explain the relationship between elizabeth and songbird in more detail,you can tell they definitely had a more personal relationship,rather than songbird simply being programmed to defend her.That being said he was made to protect her aswell so i'm sure that played some sort of part in it.
am i the only person who thinks songbird is cute?
Diogo Pinto I do wonder if Songbird was ever a human...then I think back to that Audio log about the Big Daddy crying over a little sisters death...
OI! AT 22:12 THAT IS NOT THE WHOLE EASTER EGG!
451 is a nod to Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. This is also suggested by "Firemen" being people that light fires instead of stop them, which is a main point of the book.
+Falcondances Yeah. First time Elizabeth screams "Fireman!" made my day =)
+Falcondances
you're right! 451 are 3 numbers. Illumination confirmed. Half-Life 3 confirmed!
wait... so if you steal music from the future does that make the original artists the ones who reuse the music? God... my brain hurts.
BRING US THE GIRL, ANS WIPE AWAY THE DEBT.
Technically no since someone is retroactively stealing it though even still, they aren't plagerizing Fink, they just happen to be thinking of the same lyrics.
it intersects different, its not only out of the future but can also be out of an other dimension, so it would never exist in the dimension booker and liz are inso who knows?
I think Bioshock Infinite is a unique game,with a beautiful visual & storyline, to me more than Bioshock or System Shock series. Yet the game still feel underrated to most gamers.
also, elizabeth will not enter the men's room
Doesn't she say something when you enter the women's room too?
@@Kjf365 Yeah, something like "Are you trying to get us in trouble?" Or something like that.
If you take to long she asks how you're doing. 😂
The replay value of the game is amazing with this graphics let alone the actual story they put behind this
25:00
That's actually a really amazing way to pinpoint the point in time when Booker and Liz appear in Rapture. Now everytime I replay Bioshock and get to the piano part, I'll think "Ah, Booker and Liz are here!".
This is the reason why I don't play multiplayer games anymore! It's a masterpiece!
Booker DeWitt
The none-too-subtle implication of superiority in this statement is ignorant at best. Firstly, it is nowhere near accurate to say that a person of at least mild intellectual capacity (that is, someone who enjoys a well-crafted story set in a fantastically intricate world/universe) is a lonely, unkempt basement dweller. Secondly, it is nowhere near accurate to assume that a lonely, unkempt basement dweller is lesser than yourself. I would clarify those points, but you wouldn't understand the reasoning (praise be to 'murica).
It may be of importance to note that you chose Booker DeWitt as your handle, publicly acknowledging your preference for this game over multiplayer games, thus making you a pot-bellied basement dweller. Good luck with your voice-over work, and your receding hairline.

You screwed yourself out of numerous good experiences because of bioshock infinite…?
Something worth noting; in Alone in the dark 2 ( originally released in 1993, ) 2 of the books in game mention Booker Dewitt, Elizabeth Comstock and their relationship. So either those 2 names have some kind of historical significance or 2k borrowed the names for Bioshock infinite.
even Jeremiah Fink
BAM! Done, shared universe!
This was awesome! All the easter eggs were put in the game very carefully and every single detail in the bioshock games has its own reason. That's why I love this series!
So fink was giving subtle hints of meeting Suchong in Rapture even before the DLC, awesome!
The Saddest parts were
1-Little Sister crying near Big Daddy. She is vulnerable, defenseless, and is scared
2-Songbird's death. His green eyes before he died showed he was happy. There's a theory going around with evidence that Songbird( "Booker") is trying to protect Elizabeth from main character Booker
It's not theory, it's plain fact. The ending shows that booker and Comstock are the same person and that comstock/future booker is using songbird to protect Elizabeth from his past self aka present booker. That's why our booker is the "false shepard" because Comstock (future booker) is trying to prevent his past self (our booker) from taking his daughter back.
I've watched this video so many times, but I keep coming back to it because it's so well made and the Bioshock music is incredible.
Man. That ending. Tears me up. 😢
pun meant to be?
yep.. all the events that led up to it where booker sees the baptism that turned him into comstock, the visuals, background music. gotta put my everything to try to hold back the tears.
so i think it is important to notice that the big daddy and the little sister are a mirror of songbird and Elizabeth. When song bird dies, Elizabeth walks off, and you are left seeing the little sister mourning the big daddy's death. Elizabeth also mourns songbirds death.
I liked those droning weird effects/noises at the rooftop chapters. They just added a sense of danger and sci-fi feeling to the scenery. Loved it.
There’s a reason why this is my favourite game of all time, the music renditions, setting, combat and story just makes it a perfect game for me
This was extremely interesting, thanks for taking the time to put this all together, props to you, keep it up :D
Tainted Love was actually recorded in 1964 by Gloria Jones.
True, but the Soft Cell version is arguably more popular and they used a lot of songs from the early 1980s, so maybe it's their version Fink covered maybe it's not.
that song was used for Gta San andreas i also liked that version.
Le Denis What are you talking about their version? It is the exact same song because Soft Cell covered it from Gloria Jones. The popularity of a cover does not change the original artist of a song
tgugz88 he doesnt know what he is talkinng about. Its all abouy Gloria Jones.
Mind-boggling how well put together this video is, the presentation of the EEs fits the theme of the game and feels authentic, research was obviously done aand it's well edited. Great work
It's not lost on me, having played the DLC, that Elizabeth is sadly watching as the Songbird sinks down while a Little Sister is weeping for her deceased Big Daddy in the background.
I noticed that too starstolen
I love this game... so much...
Same. The ending made me cry, it was so beautiful.
The story is really up there with portal 2, half life, and other games.
This is a great post, and the Shakespeare bit is really something else!

@@nukaberry447 stay quiet for 10 months you goddamn junkie
Just cause someone doesn't like the game they're immediately haters huh? This game is good, but bioshock 1 is better in every way in my eyes
@kylethej3775 that's the problem though. We're comparing each game to each other and saying one is great over the other. In doing so, we don't really give the proper merit each one deserves.
In my opinion, Bioshock 2 is the best, but as standalone games, they're all great.
Had to add my two cents after after these 2 years 😂
who else is back because of the new Collection game ?
GronoTastic me, grabbed it on PC, best decision ever (caught it on sale for nearly $35.00
I had vaguely heard of BioShock before the Collection, even watched this video before I got into it. Now I'm in absolute love with the franchise. So, yeah, I'm here.
The Collection was the worst set of remasters I have ever seen. The only good thing they did was remove the physics frame capper in 1 and 2. In the remastered Bioshock 1 and 2, the texture quality was inconsistent, the lighting was worse than the original versions, and there was reported to be loads of crashes in the remastered Bioshock 2.
Dang, this was made before the remaster? I was wondering if the songbird screech was only in the remaster of bs1.
Me it's 26 of February and i am still playing it 😍
Plasmids changed everything
Would you kindly
Holy Cow! That second to last Easter Egg about Songbird's dying screeches being in Bioshock 1 literally gave me a chill and goosebumps. That is so awesome, of course I would have never put the two together since (obviously) I played 1 first, and months before Infinite was even out. That was about the only easter egg I didn't realize as I was playing Infinite.
the hand cannon is the best weapon in-game.
agreed
What this doesn't mention is that the "Revenge of the Jedi" reference was actually a hidden spoiler:
It hints at the fact that Booker is Elizabeth's father, as the huge reveal/plot twist of Return of the Jedi was that Vader was Leia's father. Subtle hints. Very subtle.
This game makes 'The Last of Us' look like a trip to the park. Better in every single way. Graphics, A.I, story, characters, everything. A work of art.
+Mark Hilton
I couldn't agree more.
Why the fuck is Infinite not on PS4 (Last of us got that.) and Xbox One? (Last of us did not get that.)
+The Zachvolt cause Bioshock. i think the whole series, doesn't get the amount of attention it deserves. also Irriational Games, the developer of Bioshock Infinite. their studio has been closed in 2014 which is just after ps4 and xone have been released
+kappa kappa did you know about the rumor about the bioshock collection
not in graphics tho lol. gameplay, yes, Bioshock is so much better. story too, but The Last of Us really touched me emotionally
The Zachvolt I have the BioShock infinite on ps4
Dude, this looks like it took so much time, awesome job, this is great
When I saw that last post-credit scene, I chose to believe that Anna/Elizabeth was in her crib. I haven't played any of the DLC, but I like to think that Booker stuck with Anna after all, and there is a universe where Booker and Anna lived out their lives happily.
And then died of the Spanish flu 20 years later, because everything was awful back then.
+PresidentMe lmao.
For me, the game was beautifully made. I still come back and watch all the videos just to relive the whole thing. With regards to the bit with Anna at the end, I like to think she's there. It actually makes me quite happy believing that she grew up to be an Elizabeth type character, but one with a better childhood and a father who (maybe is subconsciously aware of what had happened) cares for her. This is the only game so far that I have played that has invoked that level of emotion from me
Does anyone know how to fly and go through walls in Bioshock Infinite, not the Other Bioshocks, only Infinite?
I know it’s 7 years since u posted it but it’s only on infinite
While Soft Cell's cover of it made it famous, "Tainted Love" was composed by Ed Cobb and sung by Gloria Jones in 1964.
Just a fun fact I didn't learn until recently myself!
The siphon speakers, the huge speakers you come accross before meeting eliz are playing Everybody wants to rule the world. It takes a long time listening to them to hear it. Not necessary to speed it up or slow it down, its just distorted.
so sad for booker that he lost his own child :(
i'm sorry Booker
Don't worry, there's a reality where he doesn't.
rly thx now that game don't make me so much sad
did you stay til past the credits? i feel like you didn't and i feel bad for you lol :P
i know but thats sad :C
Thanks for the fucking spoiler alert.
i always loved that possession girl
+Brandon Lorenzo (Songbird) Me too xD
She's so cute!
Yup, her Possession has worked on you as well
MrBadassheavymetal it definitely has
And the raffle girl as well!
I recently played Bioshock 1 again (Collection - PS4), and I noticed that the sound that sounds like Songbird's voice repeats SEVERAL TIMES in that area that Jack is in Bioshock 1, and in other areas as well.
Maybe there's multiple versions of them from different timelines. The seabed of Rapture might be littered with Songbirds :D
Haven't played this through again since shortly after it came out. Pretty much forgot everything in it, and most of my memories of it were foggy and incorrect. So I basically got to relive it for the 1st time again. Just wow... this game is so good. And it is beautiful too. Even if at times the models are rough around the edges, the art style is so beautiful. What a game.
Amen! :D
20:37 I don't know, but I cried at this part... T_T many feeling in this little quote...
Like if you cry everytime xD
Yeah when I first witnessed this scene it blew my mind.
That song is the whole theme of BioShock Infinite. Will the infinite loop be broken.
The melody that plays at the beginning of the game gives me GOOSEBUMPS
After all these years I never knew there was an after credits scene
For some reason I just watch this video over and over again. It's so nicely edited and I prefer Bioshock Infinite's music over commentary for this. :3
The "1912" version of "Tainted Love" is actually quite good i'd say
+Greg Lyris most of the songs like that were arranged by Scott Bradley, he does a lot of stuff like that on his own with modern music along with his band Postmodern Jukebox
the sound engineers must have been bloody lunatics!!
I like this because you are looking for some clues. but when people are playing the game they don't want to look for clues.:D
Well done for making that observation!
Nivada Strikes 😂😂
Thank you for posting these! Especially the scene with Booker playing the guitar and Elizabath singing!
Man I love this game so much it's so awesome!
+Patrick Huynh welcome to the club!
and still you can't comprehend the ending of this game
I love this game so much and I played the first two bioshocks all the way through. They really put their heart into making a great game. That's really the difference between giving a fuck and not giving one.
The Fireman is also from Fahrenheit 451; someone who starts fires instead of putting them out.
I wish the guitar scene went on a little longer. Such a pretty voice. Such a wonderful moment in gaming.
:)
That may be true, but I would have liked to see it sung by Elizabeth in-game. Still a lovely voice, but I really do kinda have a thing for Elizabeth.
“I don’t suspect anyone’s heard that song.”
Lady begins singing it not even 5 seconds later
the songbird easter egg planted in bioshock 1 is amazing, talk about thinking ahead of time...
Exactly! That easter egg was the coolest in my opinion. If you were really involved in the games, it is kind of shocking to think that Jack was paying attention to the piano guy dying while another shocking event (songbird's death) was happening...
***** It's very probable as well, of course. I just like thinking it was actually done thinking "ahead of time". Makes me get more attached to the game d:
I wonder if they really did think that far ahead... And if they didn't, what was that noise supposed to be originally? I'd like to ask the guy who put it in.
10:17 XD Booker's just shaking the pistol to the tune.
I unlocked 1999 mode by beating the game on hard. It was my first playthrough of the game.
Yeah it's not an Easter egg, at all.
You can unlock it by using the konami code, that's one easter egg.
1999 is because of System shock 2 was released in 1999, that's another easter egg.

Same here.

Published almost 7 years ago. Here's a couple more tidbits.
It's a funny coincidence that the B-Sharps from the Simpsons were originally going to be the group singing "God only knows". The music credits at the end of Infinite state that the song was performed by "A Mighty Wind". The coincidence is "A Mighty Wind" is a 2003 film about a folk singing group starring Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest, and Michael McKean. All three of whom have The Simpsons voice acting credits.
If you like the retro arrangments of the music, look up Scott Bradlee, who is also in the music end credit listing, and listen to the numerous "Postmodern Jukebox" songs on UA-cam.
*edited for typos*
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was originally written and recorded by Robert Hazard. Cyndi Lauper's version was a cover.
No one said otherwise.
Steve Perrin Nor did I say anyone had. It was just a little tidbit of trivia. Ease down.
+David Jimerson actually I doubt anyone, At least in my age group ( early twenties), would know that I know I didn't
You've done a very good job! Thank you.
SPOILER ALERT
In OUR universe. Booker/Comstock is a black Wrestler named BOOKER T.
Lol
Ethan Gomez He should have been called "BOOKER D." in the game.
This is wat makes me leave XD😂😂
Chest Pec Respect Can you dig it?
Hellwyck Sucka?
A really well thought out and produced video. I especially liked the picture-in-picture music videos and the allusions to Bioshock 1 :)
SPOILERS
He is booker #137 because of the heads on chalk board which means he tried 136 times before to get Anna back but failed.... But Easter egg #23 aka last Easter egg in video has him after credits saying Anna is that you with baby music does this mean some how booker #137 finally succeeded correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't know any more this whole game is an absolute mind fuck
+Payton Shaw one question...did you count all the heads on the chalkboard? Im just curious....And about your theory, I have the same opinion, or i just want Booker to be finally happy and thats why i'd like to think he finally succeeded...
Makes sense to me. So yes. I'd say that was it.
12:33 In Emporia you will find a broken building next to the cementery, inside you will find a tear with music, next to it you will find a voxophone, it's from Fink to His brother, Fink says he doesn't know who he's stealing the music from but he'll become Columbia's Mozart, so that's why se can hear a cover of "tears for fears" and "girls just wanna have fun"
P.D: i am a fucking clown, it paused the video at that minute and then you explained it 💀
the bioshock series was one of the biggest kick in the pants for me that got me into gaming. I love all of them but infinite really takes the cake but I never realized how much attention they put into the music. in my opinion, every song sounds a lot better in Columbia than in reality. :)
the 80s tear moment had me shook for like 20 minutes when i saw it, clever of them to include it (plus i really like tears for fears)
Maybe it is also a joke that they are called "Tears for Fears" as it runs inside a tear?
I unlocked the 1999 mode by just beating the game o.o
You're supposed to. You can unlock it earlier via the code if you want :)
At Finkton Docks, there's Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.2. Bioshock Infinite really is awesome.
I love the whole music and tears thing. It really tries to make two of different time periods and it rocks the hell out of it. In love the with the covers as well- so beautiful.
