Line 5: ''Note that some [[Book Ends]] can be spoilers, so beware.'' ~~----~~ * In ''[[Portal 2]]'': {{spoiler\|Beginning: "Catch me catch me catch me!" Climax: "GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME!"}} * At the end of the first level of ''[[Killer7]]'', Harmon shoots Kun Lan in the hand; Kun Lan catches the bullet and rides its momentum to the top of the Space Needle. At the very end of the game, the same scene is repeated 100 years later in China. The implication, as Kun Lan mockingly states, is that their battle will never end. Line 76: * In ''[[Planetarian]]'', the game begins and ends (not the very end, but this does qualify) with Yumemi/Reverie's pitch for the planetarium. * In ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'', the game opens with Clank learning of a plot, flying from his home planet to Ratchet's and crash landing. This is repeated with both characters late in the game (complete with crash landing after the final boss battle), and the tutorial level is the first part of the last level. The [[Big Bad]] points out it's poetic. ** Goes [[Beyond the Impossible]] if you consider the games' endings. The first game ended with {{spoiler\|the eponymous duo falling from a great height and then, once the danger had passed, apparently splitting up. In this case, it was Ratchet leaving Clank on his own, then coming back.}} Compare [[Ratchet ~~and~~& Clank Future: A Crack Inin Time\|A Crack in Time]]'s ending, which includes {{spoiler\|the aforementioned toppling from a great height (on Ratchet's part) and, once the time crisis is averted, Clank choosing to stay at the Great Clock, then changing his mind and rejoining Ratchet at the last minute.}} Considering that, at the time, ''ACiT'' was speculated to be the last game in the series, I think it qualifies as [[Book Ends]] material. * The Good End of ''[[Silent Hill 1]]'' has Harry (and {{spoiler\|Cybil, if you saved her}}) {{spoiler\|find infant Cheryl in the cemetery}} just like in the opening cutscene. If you got the Good+ ending, the opening cutscene of a [[New Game+]] begins with {{spoiler\|Cybil in the place of Harry's wife}}. ** ''[[Silent Hill Origins]]'' ends with Travis finally being able to access the truck he ditched when he saw the Gillespie house on fire.
