      EVE's is pretty much identical to Elite's, except it is actually explained in lore. They keep cadavers surgically sculpted to your shape, and the capsule will take a snapshot of your mental process before death, and then transfer it over to said "clone". The reason why they can do something so costly is because it is the faction supporting you okay-ing you becoming a capsuleer. It is a privilege earned through service, and assigned to a distinct few amongst the billions spread among the stars. All the space rats and such that you kill? There's no capsule that comes out of them for a reason. They're really dead.

      Actually, you can't learn how your ancestors died by experience in the Animus because the simulation in any given ancestor's timeline only extends to the point when the genetic material used to create your next ancestor is past on, and thus every one of your ancestors survived long enough to reproduce and you would never be able to experience their death as it happened.

      How about the first Prince of Persia game, for....I think the Game Cube? The unnamed prince is telling the girl...who's name I forget at the moment...about every thing he did after releasing the Sands of Time from a huge hourglass, and then undid, by jamming the dagger into the hourglass, gather the sands back up, and winding time back to before he and his father invaded her kingdom, and obtained the sands. So when you die, you hear him say different things, before resuming the game. 'Wait...that's not what happened...'

    How about EVE Online? The pilots (known as "capsuleers" are encased in a life-support capsule. When a player's ship blows up, the capsule is ejected safely and can fly to a space station to aquire another ship. While a capsule can be destroyed while in flight, capsuleer's consciousness has been uploaded into a computer and then downloaded into clone. When a character is killed, a new clone is created. Capsuleers can even travel great distances simply by transmitting the consciousness across space to a new clone facility. The previous clone is killed destroyed.

      MB Ryan died to prove a point, and the Vita-Chambers were created to only accept Ryan's DNA. Then in the second game, Tenenbaum (I think it's her anyway) rigs the Vita-Chambers to accept your DNA as well.

    The first Prince of Persia game, on Gamecube. As long as you had sand in the dagger, it allows you to rewind time, saving you, if you plummeted to your death, or were killed by a sand creature. Also, the unnamed prince is telling that princess...whose name I can't recall at the moment...about your adventure. So even if your dagger was empty, and you 'die', you hear the prince say something like 'Wait...that isn't what happened'

      It was the most realistic, which also made it insanely difficult. I mean, you walk into town carrying a sword, a knife and a giant gauntlet, dressed like an assassin, in a world where guards already know what assassins look like. They always noticed you instantly, which in retrospect was pretty logical and underappreciated. By brotherhood you could sprint by them wearing loads if armor and half a dozen weapons and they don't even notice.

      gamingmurshid It had the best sense of "stealth." You're carrying weapons and wearing an assassin's outfit. If you want to succeed, you have to be sneaky. You're not even supposed to get into fights. You're supposed to get in, kill the target and get out without leaving a mark. Now we have Syndicate, which is literally about getting into huge fights and taking over a whole city.

    I feel like alternate universes for Bioshock Infinite, time paradox from metal gear solid, and Animus from assassin's Creed shouldn't really count. In Bioshock Infinite, that's actually you dying and another alternate universe you just catching up to where you left off. In Metal Gear Solid, that's just the game reminding you that since this happens in the past, and already happened with your character surviving, then your death couldn't have happened. In assassin's Creed, it's a computer simulation, and thus your character, Desmond Miles can't be killed by the simulation because Desmond was never in any danger to begin with. It's like a video game inside a video game.

      Yes it is...in the very quest they used that clip from. It comes up after a permadeath of an NPC as well.

      The wiki argues with the dialog in game...so I'll stick with what the game says.

      Nick V One of the developers himself said that it wasnt canon..........

      Nick V I literally cannot find dialogue in BL2 that mentions New-U as canon and the devs themselves SAID its not canon *SPOILER* Then why does Jack or Roland stay dead if the New-U exist? Roland DNA can be deleted but why would the owner of Hyperion himself be deleted? Thats why its not canon.

    New-U Stations aren't actually canon, so...
