View Full Version : The Great Plasmi-Quik vs Gene Bank Poll

New article (http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/genebankart.html) has been posted over at the Cult of Rapture, basically showing the concept art, colored art, and some renders of the so-named plasmid dispensing station.
The station looks like a family-friendly dispenser of steriods :p I have the feeling this will rank as the most squeamish method of receiving a game's equivalent of energy.

Well I am actually mad. On the thing it said that the citizins would take things from the surface and reuse them, I liked the feel of the old game demo thing, it was like a real city, you know, everything massed produced, like a real city. But if they change the whole city into some scavenged outpost, it is going to lower my opinion of the overall gameplay.

I don't think thats what they meant. I think they just used the existing technology within the time period and applied it to other uses and gave it a different context. I think they just wanted to create the feeling of what it might have to be constructed out of to be able to "work" and be "real" and believable to the player. Of course Rapture is still a fallen empire so to speak, ruined environments will still be main course of the level design it seems.

Gene-Bank sounds more like a repository for genetic material than somewhere to inject your plasmids and become a mutant superhero.
plasma-quick was ten times better than gene bank. such a medical term doesn't fit in a restroom, imo.

Plasmi-Quik changed to Gene Bank.
You've got a thread related to the change posted elsewhere on these forums and one over at TTLG.
I'd like to see you re think this one. New name "gene Bank" doesn't do it for the time frame of late 50's or the game. Plasmi-Quik fits the theme much better.
Thanks

edit: jack forces me to extend this post with an argument why I want this thing to be called plasmi-quik again. these quotes are from the original thread:

The rendered Gene-Bank looks quite good, and I like this 'Atlas' character stretching the DNA chain over his head, but... "Gene-Bank" is such a dull sounding name it's a real pity. Even the font selected for the engraved name look dull and boring, like a placeholder (just compare it with the more elegant and stylized font used in "Open For Business").

I want Plasma-quick just becuase its so corny, its cool.
And also becuase it is realistic, back then the named things in corney ways, it was the start of ripoffs in WW2. And besides, they already have it in that demo, why change it? Its already cool and would take less work. I really liked the design of it.
Well actually there is 1 problem with the name. Plasma-quick sounds like a plasmite merchant, not a bank...

Thanks LEC for the poll. Thanks for everyone posting your thoughts on the name change. Don't know if it will do any good, but it's worth a try.
"Gene bank"--- Reminds me more of "Lean Gene the Dancing Machine" from back in the days of a certain TV game show, "The Gong Show". Just doesn't fit the program decor.

Plasmi-quick is just way better. It's how you'd sell it, it fits the aesthetic and the whole idiom. It's kind of colourful and humorous in the way Fallout was. Gene-bank is too gray, and far too Deus Ex. It alters the whole tone, and kind of changes my perception of the game's character. It's not good.
I guess I'll just have to pretend it's still called a plasmi-quick. :/
Suddenly I feel like I'm waiting for Deus Ex 3.

Plasmi-Quik makes it sound more like a vending machine that one might find as common as a soda or gumball machine, where as Gene Bank makes it sound about as common as an ATM. Both are found regularly, but if you're going to have them in as everyday places as a bathroom, they should use the one that sounds more like a marketing department made it up.
D'Sparil
03-08-2007, 10:53 PM
The cheese factor in Plasma-quik is just too good, and does feel at home in a bathroom stall. A bank type apparatus doesn't seem to fit in there. But in all fairness, I will probally like the game either way regardless of how I get my Plasmid fix.

I personally think Plasmi-Quik is a better name because Gene Bank sounds too generic. Plasmi-Quik is more creative of a name and would suit better with the style Rapture is created in. Rapture was built as a safe haven for scientists who could not perform their experiments on land without persecution. With that in mind, Plasmi-Quik invokes a better sense scientific advancement and creation of new technology. Gene Bank is just a bland name that goes right to the point. It lacks any sense of innovation or creativity. It also goes right to the point and does not have a euphemistic name, unlike Plasmi-Quik.
Also, (I do not know about this because I did not live through the fifties so don't take my word on it), but Plasmi-Quik sounds more in line with the language and advertisement at that time. Gene Bank sounds like a name that someone in the 90's or 2000's would create. Gene Bank reminds me of something like "money in the bank," from a hip hop song, which is definitely not in the style of the 50's
I mean, would you buy a sexual-organ-boosting plasmid from a thing called gene bank? seriously...;)

I think somecut8's comments pretty much nail it for me, but I guess I also prefer "Plasmi-Quik" because (for some reason) it kinda reminds me of Fallout's cute little PipBoy.
I dunno - it's years since I played Fallout, but maybe it's the shared, cheeky, almost childish sense of humour they both seem to convey? Does anybody else see a comparison?

Woah! Somebody's been busy combining all the related threads. It's a good idea I guess. Anyway, I really hope Irrational pay attention to things like this. I mean, we are their target audience. We are the ones who will definitely buy Bioshock. So surely our opinion matters?
I know it's only a small thing (Plasmi-Quik... Gene Bank... really does it matter?), but as somebody has already pointed out (somewhere... maybe I'm making this up... I dunno), it's a scary thought to think that some features may have been dumbed down in Bioshock.
Our hopes are very high, Irrational. Please don't screw this up, just so it will sell more.

Ill just jump on the bandwagon. Plasmi-quik does sound better to me. However, if they dont change that minute detail, im not going to think any less of it. It is just a name of but one function in the entirety of the game, and I can get over it.
I would love to understand a bit more about Irrationals reasons for changing it, I havent pursued the matter, but I want to see why such a small detail actually matters enough to change.

Gene Bank is too 'gray urban', maybe a 'dark, gray, navy blue'. It's not even olive drab. I'm very concerned they might be graying BioShock down for the wider market.
Plasmi-Quik just makes more sense (the misspelling of 'Quick' might be a little too 'modern', but you could assume Rapture also has the best ('before their time') marketers the world has to offer). I could more readily imagine a flapper using a 'Plasmi-Quick', rather than a gene bank.
Gene bank sounds like a generic industry trade journal term for a financial product.

Gene-Bank makes it sound as if you can "deposit" unused plasmids there and then "withdraw" them, potentially in a different location, at a later time. If that is possible (No idea, never heard anything like it mentioned anyway so far), then I can see why the name was changed because it's a much more meaningful name than "Plasmi-Quik" which is appealing but doesn't actually tell you that much about what it does.
For a while I'd thought that "Plasmi-Quik" was a brand name, and that you'd have several different brands of Plasmid dispenser (For want of a better term) throughout Rapture; some owned by Ryan and some of Fontaine.
Considering Irrational have a tendancy to make every detail mean something I'm sure there's a sensible reason behind the name change.

no, its a diliberate misspelling,means the same thing as "Quick" and is pronounced the same. I think that kind of thing was somewhat common in advertisements from the 1950's. It is sort of like how "light" is spelled "lite" now, only that is done for differnt reasons.

We all know how a thread starts off in one topic only to wind up in a different one. Exaggeration or not, I figured you had a better handle on it than I did. Just trying to follow this thread as well as I can to see the input from various members related to the name change. I want to see how our feedback will effect the final release version. Will we really have a say? Time will tell.
I know it's just a PC/console game. The name change is really no big deal as it's really just a minor change in the overall game. Why they changed the name is what I find the most interesting. All I see is mostly speculation on why they did. The people whom do know haven't said as of yet. At least, not that I'm aware of. So, I follow the plight as well as I can. I miss a lot as I'm time constrained right now. Working 16 hours shifts. Only have a half hour to check up on these forums along with TTLG. Then it's back to work.
Thanks

Dear Bartekk,
Get a grip boy! It's not the end of the world! Why are you so pissed about it? All you seem to do around here is ***** about the content of the forum. Try talking about... I dunno... Bioshock for a while. Cuz that's the whole point.
I really do wonder where this guy's sense of humor has gone. And how much it's gonna hurt to pull it back out.:eek:

Here comes internet communication. You can’t really say whether someone’s sarcastic, fooling around, mocking, etc. or just saying what he says. You don’t have a contact with people, you can just read what they write and thus, it may lead to misunderstanding.

I’m never pissed about anything around the net. But that doesn’t mean I can’t say I don’t like this or that. For instance, I don’t like when forum is flooded with x threads related to the exact same thing. And like Adam Nuhfer said, this IS the case here. But that’s not my forum and I don’t really care, make x threads for everything if you like, no problem. Mods can join them together after all (and as I can see, now there’s one topic for Plasmi-Quik vs Gene Bank). What I refer to mainly is that shortly after announcement of name change there were three threads already, like ‘Listen to us IG! Change that thing back to Plasmi-Quik now!’, while I’m sure one single thread for that matter would be enough for IG to see what community thinks. That’s all.
By the way, I don’t see what my sense of humor has to do with what we’re talking here over.

"Expand your genetic capabilities, steal unsuspecting technology and maximize your GENE BANK'S diversity".
"The different gene combinations will allow for several strategies during combat. For example, some attacks will deplete your enemy's health faster, but leave fewer resources for you to collect after they've been defeated"
In Essence The ORIGINAL Plasmi-Quik name should be bought back, Because these two quotes Are talking about a Relatively new game "Genesis Rising", Thats right the Gene Bank name has already been taken {see below}
