I thought this was an astonishing fan film when I first watched it, it showed life before and after the civil war through the eyes of it’s citizens… it’s impressive how well it holds up all these years not just the quality of the film but the story as well.
I remember seeing this years and years ago when a younger me was first getting really into Bioshock. Glad to see it still holds up. I think those glimpses into the pre-fall Rapture are some of the most interesting parts of the series and yet we got so few of them beyond John Shirley's Rapture novel and the Burial At Sea DLC.
You should play vampire masquerade bloodlines it feels a lot like bioshock with the characters and atmosphere but it takes place in the 90s and 00s after the end of a huge vampire war in Los Angeles the two main antagonists Lacroix and Ming are just like ryan and fontaine and there is even a mission with audio diaries and your sidekick Nines is very similar to Atlas
6:34 Free cigarettes as a gift to advertise some services and/or companies or at fairs or stores were quite common some decades ago. Even more so in Europe, I guess.
I liked how, after they start taking ADAM, their studio is suddenly swamped with liquor bottles. Rapture is awash with alcohol, and the bottles are a great symbol of the degeneracy, despair, and addiction culture of a Rapture in social collapse. Would love to see you respond to JT Music's video of "Rise, Rapture, Rise"!!
@@TheBioshockHub I also have a video recommendation for you. A Bioshock fan film by Jared Potter called New Year's End, it's supposed to show what happened just before the bombing of the Kashmir Restaurant
If you think about it, Levine opened up the Bioshock franchise to the multiverse and endless possibilities with the creation of Infinite but then ended it all and buried everything under the sea in the end. Levine, the creator and destroyer of Rapture and of Bioshock, burnt all bridges and never looked back and so shouldn't we. Not only Rapture is dead and destroyed, the whole Bioshock series ended there and then. Whatever comes next might use the name but it won't be Bioshock.
@@MyShalora Calm down! As I said, it's great for what it was, 10 years ago. Everybody who is still hung up on Rapture however is lost like Charles mourning his wife in this play/short film. Take inspiration from it, learn from mistakes, keep it in good memory, have a sense of nostalgia, but leave Rapture behind and move on. Or keep living in the past, tell the same old stories of loss and heartache, make the same mistakes over and over again, like a junkie, like a splicer...
This is the first time i see this piece of content, gotta admit everything about it is great, despite the scale being limited to one location they made sure they got every detail perfectly and i really loved the story of the two brothers and how thing developed with the introduction of adam, i like the mention of building Andrew Ryan's statue as well as its one of the controversial things people find questionable to his ideology, the fight scene in the end gave a twist to the events as well to the short film, great work by the people who made this and thanks for reviewing it again after all these years, its always good to come back to old content like this so people can remember it, great work Eric!

Stuff like this is what makes me adamant that Bioshock would be an amazing TV series. All the lore is right there for side characters
Good to be able to revisit with you bro 👊🏻 no one does more for the bioshock community than yourself 🤘🏻
I think there's a ton of people who help the Bioshock community & that's wonderful! I'm just glad I can be apart of it :)

Agreed. Given what the actors & cast had, they did extremely well with the production.
I like how they start to talk like splicers too. Scary shit.
The attention to the small details like that are very appreciated.
Christmas week is next & Christmas weekend is next weekend & are & your fabulous mom is ready Erik. ♥️😉🎅🎄🌲♥️
I still remember seeing this for the first time and being so impressed by the amount of detail they put in, all the way to the audio diaries!
Me too! I wish they were still around to do a Part 2, or even a new project.
As good as Timmy's Torture. 😮
Both are incredible in their own ways.

My main issue with this is that it's more like a stage play than an actual short film.
Not an issue, it's what you do with limited resources.
So what? It's an enjoyable piece, whatever title you want ro give it. That's a weird thing to nitpick.
@@MyShalora Who are you to tell people what to think and do?
@@Mandalore_ultimateI don’t think he told you to do anything my guy

The audio is only on the left side of headphones, just lettin' you know
I saw this a couple times before, makes me wish the Bioshock movie has some news update soon.
I enjoyed watching this when it came out. Been meaning to rewatch it.
How cool! Didn't know this even existed.
This is amazing
I think so too.
Pass the popcorn, Erik!
You got it!

That's one small detail I missed, great catch! And sure, I'll try my best to reach out to them.

You should check out the bioshock 4 concept trailer. I believe the fan trailer name for it was bioshock significant city
It’s by yakusho
I can definitely check it out, thank you for the recommendation.
Don't get me wrong, it's great for what it is, I just get tired of the same old stories over and over again. Leave Rapture behind!
No U!

Then stop watching videos about it. No need to watch them and then be snarky about them. Nobody forced you to watch it.

Awesome
Agreed!
My first time seeing this, I think I'd have missed out on some elements without watching it with you. Thanks for bringing it to us.
My pleasure. I'm just happy that I was given permission to use their video. It's humbling.
Remind me of 1984
I have to admit after playing through the bio games, infinite was my least favourite.Love Ur videos dude
And that's totally okay, Infinite wasn't for everyone. And much love friend, thank you.
So question should a big daddy or r handyman be in mortal Kombat?
Big Daddy
