Bioshock Soundtrack: 02 Welcome to Rapture

Track 2 from the official Bioshock soundtrack. The entire soundtrack was free to download from the official Bioshock website for several weeks following the game's release but is no longer available.

[@SplinteredX]

Columbia was beautiful but Rapture was magical

[@primevaltimes]

Columbia seemed to be heavenly, while Rapture was dark and forboding.

[@FrozenxDeath]

*SPOILER ALERT* Try playing Infinite during the level where you travel to the 1980s.

[@paradoxacres1063]

Columbia was dark fantasy, Rapture was pure horror.

[@primevaltimes]

FrozenxDeath My point exactly: throughout most of the game you were wandering around destroying what was supposed to be a paradise. By the 1980's (and the end of the game), the magic had completely left Columbia, and it resembled what Rapture was during the events of the Bioshock games: a dilapidated city ruled by a ruthless dictator. At the beginning of the original Bioshock, however, the city was already run-down, and never felt magical at all. I will say that building Rapture seemed more ambitious a project, or at least was presented as more ambitious.

[@MrChuanhquan]

Just massiveness. Both of them.

[@KoOkiEzRoCkz]

Violins are damn freaking intense instruments

[@nicholsjoshua15]

When the iron drum, accustic guitar, and cello really pick up and Billy yells "The killer in me is the killer in. I send this smile over" I still get awesome chills, even twenty two years later.

I am Andrew Ryan. And I'm here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No!", says the man in Washington, "it belongs to the poor!" "No!", says the man in the Vatican, "it belongs to God!" "No!", says the man in Moscow, "it belongs to everyone!" I rejected all those answers. Instead I chose something different. I chose the impossible! I chose... Rapture! A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where scientists would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

Bioshock 2 is deliberately designed in a way like a Star Wars EU novel. They're great fun to read, but they're not completely necessary to understand and enjoy the movies.

Bullshit, gameplay first, because that what makes a fucking game. Story is a second. I preffer the original Bioshock, because Bioshock 1 & 2 were very close in terms of gameplay, but the excellent plot delivery from the first made it my favorite. As to Infinite, The story was good, but the gameplay was very much average, bringing it down.

Playing a “dated” game for the first time that was made more than a decade ago and realising how amazing it is even by today’s standards, really hits differently. The mark of a true classic I’ll never forget or regret playing Resi 4 and Bioshock

Says a random critic, "video game movies can not work". "No!" Says someone else, "the main character is not fleshed out". I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... believe someone big in the industry who is passionate about the game wants to make one. A belief where I'm not bounded to the cruel reality, where I can stretch my imagination, where the small have a chance like the big. And with your love for this game, this belief can be yours as well.

[@EggiTheShadow]

RO1734 Hahaha, you're right, to an extent, i in fact do not know how filmaking works, i was offering an opinion. Everyone's free to their point of view, right? Its bad to assume something just basing off one comment as well, in fact, i dislike FPS games so please do not imply that i do. I was just thinking that it would be interesting if a movie could be made in such a way (if executed properly), so please do not insult me

[@RO1734]

I was not insulting you , I assumed with a direct perspective like that, that is what you seem to want to see most or are seeing most. Just would love to see this game as a movie, I am sure the only expensive thing would be the creating the city underwater CGI.

Rapture was suppose to be a symbol of freedom to do religion, to make, to write, to paint, and discover. Without oppression and judgement. But there are things best left undiscovered. So rapture fell because of hate, fear, social and political corruption, and greed. Now all that is left of rapture is war. Children turned into tools for profit and war. And splicers looking for their next fix, but Is there still hope for them? Columbia was supposed to represent redemption, renewal, virtue, and being closer to god. But Columbia was destroyed because of delusion, magic (vigors brooker drinks and Elizabeth ability to go to through time and dimensions) which is considered unholy, and extremist like fear. Still would you forgive?

Rapture is the best character in the whole game. It's amazing to see so much of the players still in love with her years later.

In Bioshock Infinite, when Elizabeth is looking at the bird and cage brooch, she says "The Bird is beautiful... And the Cage is somber, but there is something special about it..." Rapture is enclosed, and has a somber look to it, and is very, very special. While Columbia is a magnificent sight to behold. Keep that in mind.

Andrew Ryan's speech will always play in my head when this comes on

A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

Andrew Ryan: I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" says the man in Washington, "It belongs to the poor." "No" says the man in Vatican, "It belongs to God." "No" says the man in Moscow, "It belongs to everyone." I rejected those answers. Instead... I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. A city, where the artist would not fear the sensor, where the scientist would not be bound by Petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow... Rapture can become your city as well. *Me: This man sounds exactly like Joey Drew; Overly ambitious, and crazy.*

Man. Takes me back to when I had this as a ringtone on my old Galaxy 4. Early in the morning, about 5am I'd get a call from the school board to step up for the morning custodian at the middle school I worked at. Now matter how deep I was asleep, I heard this song.

This is by far, the best game I've ever had the pleasure to play.

I don’t see what’s so wrong with infinite? We hardly had anyone to talk to in the first two games (I know it’s all about the loneliness and spooky vibes but come on). Everyone was either batshit crazy bent on killing us or they were people who eventually wound up dead. Infinite was a decent change, not great (please bioshock fanatics, don’t release my head from its shoulders) but decent. Equal love for all three games because i certainly had a blast. All you “fans” can stay thousands of miles beneath the ocean surface, but I’m on equal ground up here.

I mean, there's a lot of people in Columbia but since you can't interact with them, Columbia feels more dead than Rapture. Infinite for me is like turning something like call of duty into a third person shooter. It's not the same thing and it shouldn't be called bioshock
