Trailer for those who don't want to follow the link and input their age.
Hidden:
Anway, I'm so getting it. Seeing as it is split into two parts and the first costs $15 (so will probably be €15) I'm wondering if getting the season pass would make more sense. I don't know how much it costs in Euro but that trailer said it was $20. Paying €20 would make more sense than paying €30. Meh, I'll see.

Also I guess this means
Spoiler:
Ryan isn't alternate universe Booker and Jack isn't alternate universe Elizabeth.
Is there anyway to tie System Shock into that whole Man, Lighthouse, City thing? I'm planning on getting System Shock 2 off GOG at some point down the line.

Spoiler:
Jack IS alternate univerrse booker. It was established when he could open the bathysphere.
And you're right. it can't be the same universe. one man, one lighthouse, one city. so it's a different reality.
But that's just it. Same man, new city. Maybe there's a reality where Jaacck went to Columbia.

hell, I think This may even be OUR anna from infinite. there's a theory that She was blown out of time like the luteces.
I can't even begin to geuss how it's tied together, so i'm not going to.

Spoiler:
Ryan can open bathyspheres and use vita chambers too. Jack is Ryan's Son/Clone, shares the same DNA so he can do it as well. So wouldn't Elizabeth (Booker's child) be Jack and Booker Ryan?

Not that any of that matters now with this universe having it's own Booker and Elizabeth.

Dude, triple post much?

But yeah, that looks amazing. Might have to spring for the DLC season pass now...or wait a year and get the GOTY edition.

I found Rapture overrated as all get out.
Just returning to the trough seems like a poor move from the devs, but it's all about making money, and I'm sure this is a cash in.

I don't think so. Bioshock 2 was made because 2K loves money not because people really wanted to make the game. But I'm thinking Irrational are making this because they honestly want to make something good.

You should make money to make games, not the other way around.

Spoiler:
Cash cow would be to make another game in Rapture with a new man/light house. they literally opened up the game series with the infinite ending.
Setting the game in rapture, with Booker as a private investigator, and Elizabeth as awesome, is as original as they could have gotten with a sequel. and I'll bet it's all linked with the over arcing story.

And you're right kerr, but I don't think Ryan is the man of said light house. I think jack is booker because of the whole one man one light house thing. It's always the same man, clearly, because of Symmetry. So it would make sense the man of the first light house is also the man of the second one.

You know there's going to be some crazy explanation for how this all fits together. You just watch.

Also 50's Elizabeth is totally hot.

Am I the only one who thought that Nolan North was the voice actor for Booker in Infinite? As I was very surprised when I discovered that it was Troy Baker who voiced him. He's the bloke that does Chris Redfield from Resident Evil(5&6) as well as other characters in other games.

I didn't due to Baker doing a Nolan North impression when he voiced Booker. Also, I think the Burial at Sea DLC will show us a lot about Rapture before it went to hell. Hopefully, we will get a few Big Daddies and I suspect Delta will make a cameo or appearance at some point due to him doing his rounds on that fateful evening. Although I had hoped that the DLC would be something else but am glad it's Rapture.
Spoiler:
If there is a noir style love scene between Elizabeth and Booker and he doesn't know about her being his daughter. We will have a very disturbing scene.

December 31st 1958 is when the civil war started. That is the date on the calander in Booker's office in the trailer.

From a surprisingly lucid commenter on YouTube:

"According to Wikipedia Johnny Mathis (The singer of Wonderful Wonderful, the song in the Burial at Sea trailer) released a album in 1962 titled "Rapture" and it was published by Columbia records.
And he has a sister called Elizabeth."

How does that even

Oh my god you guys, none of you remember the conversation in the GD where I was with Veck on how not-confusing the Infinite plot is? I just mean that I don't want to dissect the hints we have at what this new DLC will bring.

It's my understanding that the voxophones simply provide additonal backstory. The main thing can be experienced without listening to any of them.

There's a difference between being really confused about something and analyzing and reanalyzing the complex plot to find stuff you missed the first time around. Which is more fun than just reading it off google.

Anyways, the voxo phones just provide more back story, but also tell you more about the main story if you dissect it.
Spoiler:
first time you find out about Elizibeth being booker's daughter, is when you find the voxo phone that has post lamb apocalypse Elizabeth saying " my father failed me"
