    Exclamation Does any one else notice this important detail in the demo

    when it says 1960 mid alantic and shows a man saying he was told he was meant to do great things.... he has no chain link tattoo on his wrist ..

    and it appears it's Atlas or Andrew Ryan ..

    and Look around I would say its been atleast a while sense sh t hit the fan in Rapture..


    also the light house is attached to Rapture as a Metro hub ...
    and I think Rapture is at the bottom of the sea because if your down 18 fathoms that fast and your still going down the whole time through the video thing your pretty far down.. also you see the bottom rock before the city or it could be a reef...

    This is my first post...

    Wow. Your right... Now that I think of it, he didn't have any chain tatoos on his wrist in the plane... Hmmm...

    I've got nothing.

    no it's there.
    Or at least it really does look like it's there.
    You just have to really stare.
    The tattoo doesn't go all the way around his wrists only on the very insides where the veins are. It just so happens that in the scene a shadow it casted over that part of the wrist.

    If it turns out I'm wrong you can incinerate me.....

    Wait. So maybe there's a character you meet in the game named Jack. And now the question surfaces: so how did you get from a plane (with no tatoos) to the water (with tatoos)? Maybe that's why they black it out and show the BioShock title. Creates uncertainty.

    He kinda took to injecting himself with Plasmids rather fast eh? I would have figured he'd need a lil more coxing from Atlas.

    yeah I hope there's more to that cutscene in the real game. I mean seriously, if my plane had crashed and I found myself in an underwater utopia gone to hell with murderers and deraged little girls running amuck I seriously hope that I would think twice before sticking a glowing rusty needle in my arm.

    LMAO. Exactly what I thought too. And besides the fact that he didn't know hwat it was, he didn't bother to gently put it in his arm; instead he just jammed it in.

    I thought it was interesting all this linking towards chains and links. Underneath the main banner you see with ryan and the sentence about no gods blah blah if you walk under it and look up at the yan statue i assume its him there is thewords the great chain or so so .

    I hear that in the real game, it will be a lot less random.

    They are subtle, but the appear to be there.

    As for timeline:
    Let's see, the 1959 newyears party was crashed, but it's 1960, so that is at least one year no matter how you work it out. Since he's holding an xmas present, I would guess it is xmas of 60, so almost 2 years, so ya, it has been trashed a while.

    Have you guys noticed that in the bathaspear room there are three circular shields not counting the one that has Ryan on it that represent art, industry and science. Could these three things represent the great chain and the three links in the main chars tattoo or is it just a coincidence?

    I think it is simply refering to the ideas of Rapture.

    Seriously, even if you assume Jack would just say 'hell ya', to a dubious glowy syringe... once he starts to piece the puzzle together .. realize that these splicers are addicted to this stuff.. wouldn't he kinda maybe decide to reassess some of his lifestyle choices.. think twice about jabbing any colorhappyfun sticks into his arm?

    But if he doesn't, then he's more than likely dead anyway.

    Aww... tattoos go bye bye...
    Although when I first saw those, I thought about how cool they'd be on my wrists... =P

    That is interesting though... I gotta check it out again.

    Why do you say its an xmas present? Could also be the xmas of 1959 and its early 1960.

    well not rly, cause the NEW YEAR party was crashed and in my world new year is after xmas

    You're right, it isn't there. But it may be covered by his sleeve, right now I'm watching a vido on IGN to see where it is... suprisingly, it was right at the crease of his wrist... That sort of supports my flashback theory. Maybe the chains were removed? I winz0r

    I still say it "seems" as though the tattoo is on his wrist during the plane ride....

    anyone notice that "arm'n'hammer" arm holding the chain right behind the lever when you first enter the bathysphere. That caught my eye in my 3rd or 4th playthrough.

    Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that the main character is Atlas or Ryan. Enough of these conspiracy threads!

    if you lot looked around more you would see if you wait for a second while looking at the plasmid it says "whats this press _ button" press it and it tell you what it is.
