BioShock (series)/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

** The voice of the Little Sisters is provided by [[Juliet Landau]], who played [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Drusilla]].

** The Doctor Splicers ("[[Madness Mantra|How am I supposed to help you if you don't come to me]]!?") are voiced by J. G Hertzler, aka [[Deep Space Nine|General Martok]].

** Speaking of Doctors, Sofia Lamb is voiced by Fenella Woolgar; you might remember her as [[Agatha Christie]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/NS/~~Recap~~/~~S4 E7~~ The Unicorn and ~~The~~ Wasp|The Unicorn and the Wasp]]".

** Speaking of Doctors, Sofia Lamb is voiced by Fenella Woolgar; you might remember her as [[Agatha Christie]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4/E07 The Unicorn and the Wasp|The Unicorn and the Wasp]]".

** And the voice of the grown-up Eleanor Lamb? It's Sarah Bolger, of ''[[The Tudors]]'' and ''[[The Spiderwick Chronicles]]'' fame.

** Dr. Steinman is voiced by Peter Francis James, who can be often be seen on one ''Law & Order'' show or another as a judge.

** Naledi Atkins' voice actor also voiced another female pilot whose plane was downed, namely Captain "Deadly" Pelayo from ''[[Modern Warfare]]''.

** The [[Rich Bitch]] splicers and Dr. Langford are voiced by the same actress, whom you might know better as Wanda and Timmy's mom in ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]''. She's also taken over voicing Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, and Lady Tremaine in recent Disney works such as ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.

Line 14:

** In Bioshock 2 the spider splicer model named the "crawler" is voiced by [[Naruto|Sauske]] or [[Ben 10|Ben]] depending on which one you're more familiar with.

** The Japanese voice actors are more easily identified as [[Toshiyuki Midorikawa]] is the seiyuu for Atlas, Andrew Ryan is [[Unshou Ishizuka]] and Bridget Tenabaum is [[Mie Sonozaki]]. In other words terms, Shaggia Frost wants Jack to kill Sergei Smirnov while Aplodia Neuro tries to save the Little Sisters.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: The original ''[[~~Bioshock~~]]'' game underwent many, many changes from the time it was pitched to the final product. The original pitch still had the [[Zeerust]] idea; they wanted it to take place on land, however, in a series of interconnected controlled environment chambers created by 1940's Germany. The laboratories would be full of mysteriously dead human bodies, being overrun by strange, insectoid life forms called Gatherers, who collected genetic material and body parts, the Protectors for the Gatherers, and predatory Aggressors. These eventually developed into the Little Sisters, Big Daddies and Splicers, respectively, when the developers decided they wanted a more "human" angle. The concept art book for ''[[~~Bioshock~~]]'' shows off some of these life-forms; particularly striking is one insectoid being half-fused into a human body using its arms and legs to walk and fire a pistol. Among other things promised was the ability to alter the controlled environment, such as raising the temperature in an area and giving yourself a plasmid that protected you from heat exhaustion.

** According to the original pitch of the game, you would have played as Carlos Cuello, a "deprogrammer" asssigned to infiltrate a mysterious cult based on a remote island and "rescue" a wealthy heiress being held there. The game would have also included a much more in-depth weapon creation system, based on the superpower creation system in ''[[Freedom Force]]''. Some of the weapons you could make included a triple-barelled automatic shotgun, a silenced railgun, magnetic grenades, a sniper rifle that shoots acid-coated bullets, ''and a chain lightning taser pistol''.

** One of the insectoids nearly made it to ''[[~~Bio Shock~~ 2]]'' - the concept art shows Splicers turning into things that made [[Resident Evil|G-Virus mutants]] look cute.

** The original game had Jack mutate more and more with plasmid use, and would make players decide if they wanted to become a hideous freak like the splicers to survive, or refuse, keeping their humanity at the cost of less safety. The final product ''encourages'' you to use more ADAM and EVE.

*** The weapon mods originally looked like they were cobbled together with random household junk [[MacGyver]] style, as a means to emphasize how Repture was supposed to be a mostly weapons free society. Levine decided that the weapons ended up looking "dorky" and thus changed the mods as to still look hand modified but "by someone who knows what they're doing".

Line 24:

** Also during said phase, Mark Meltzer was apparently supposed to play a bigger role in the story, even being the one who hired the main player (either a detective or a parent whose daughter had also gone missing) in the first place.

** Subject Delta's armor used to be based off of old WWII-era Bombers and would have been a lot more top-heavy and bulkier.

** Sander Cohen was planned at one point to return in ''[[~~Bio Shock~~ 2]]'' as a "20-foot-tall Freudian monster bunny".

** Some of the elements above (man infiltrating hidden area, singular [[Big Bad]]/[[The Dragon]] harassing you at every turn) are being recycled into ''[[~~Bioshock~~]] Infinite'', while the Russian soldier AI was utilized for the Splicers in ''[[~~Bio Shock~~ 2]]''.

** During the early stages of ''[[~~Bio Shock~~ 2]]'', there was a giant squid boss that Delta was supposed to fight outside of Rapture.
