Mellow Jazz Ambience | Rapture Before the Fall - NYE 1958 🎶 1+ HOUR Bioshock gameplay background 🎶

[@lucasharlen6045]

Always said bioshock had one of the best aesthetics and ambience among video games

[@ambient_gamescapes]

I completely agree! Still holds up years later

[@sexylazercatwizard]

Everyone said that

[@Rhyddid_tan]

💯

[@akai2345]

Silent Hill 2 welcomes it to the club, definitely.

[@TheFinalIllusion]

@@akai2345SH2 walked so bioshock could run.

[@SageToaster]

I will literally pay money to play a Bioshock game that's just walking around Rapture before it fell. No combat, no story, just atmospheric bliss.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

I couldn’t agree more! A Rapture walking simulator would be amazing. An option to start/run a business before the first inklings of collapse would also be cool. How can we make this happen??

[@AzzaZazza-y9h]

In VR aswell

[@AliaEvera]

Same, I would pay so much money for a Bioshock Rapture Life simulation game 😂

[@ChaoThing]

Seriously agree. Walking simulators are typically not that great, but a big one that looked great and was therapeutic would get all of my $$$.

Always dreamed of being there before the tragedy happened. I would look out the windows and picture myself living there while staring into the rapture skyline.

[@Satellaview1889]

Be more of an ocean line, or seafloor line. But yeah...

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Same!

[@sexylazercatwizard]

We all did, game did a good job

[@StudMacher96]

Me too jevesy ol boy! Except I actually lived there

[@kalebrichardson6518]

What an immense crazy time to imagine. Have you read the book Rapture?

[@Captain23rdGaming]

i know buried at sea left the community divided on it but one thing i will say that it did gave us one of the best things we couldve asked for (or at least ask for more of), A taste of Rapture before it all came tumbling down

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Agreed. For DLC it was a great addition to the overall story/lore and at least loosely tied infinite to the first 2 games

[@jasminmisar5768]

Absolutely, it felt so good just strolling through there with Booker DeWitt, before shit broke loose 😃🐋🌌

[@kaj7135]

I enjoyed Burial at Sea. My problem with it was that it just didn’t FEEL like Rapture. I know it’s before the civil war broke out, but it still looked way too spacious and bright.

[@Captain23rdGaming]

@@kaj7135 i mean this was like a differnt part of rapture but i get what you mean. Honetsly though i really wish that we got the chance to play as like a random citizen of rapture and experience all first hand right up untill the fall of rapture though i know the multiplayer was the civil war itself

[@dylanrivera2244]

Getting to walk around pre war Rapture was a PERFECT way to start the final chapter. I love Burial at Sea and getting to see what Rapture was before all hell broke loose was a great sendoff.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

I completely agree!

[@brothers_of_nod]

A nico time cigarette in one hand, a thermos of coffee in the other, out the window the lights of the city you escaped to to forge your own life away from the world that seemed bent on annihilating itself with nukes. Your coffee's grown cold, yet this just brings a smirk to your face as your palm glows red, the incinerate plasmid you spliced such a handy little tool, those parasites could never have made such a marvel, only Rapture could allow such innovation. You've worked hard, reminding yourself that you should pick up a bottle of champagne for the celebration tonight, getting to your feet, you turn to a bust of Andrew Ryan, giving it a nod of the head and a tip of the hat before you head off.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

I love this! 👌

[@StudMacher96]

Somewhere……beyond the sea. Somewhere, waiting for me

[@imleonkasper]

Bioshock really introduced me to Jazz and I love it

[@boaster012]

One of the most wonderful selections of jazz I've ever heard, chapeau.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Merci!

[@RtB68]

Bioshock pulled off the impossible - it made an underwater city that was not just a backdrop but alive itself...the city was a character in the game. This vid is absolute gold - I love that other people just get it this perfectly. Well done.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

I couldn’t agree more and thank you!!

[@chrisidoo]

I can't personally tell if the music is too loud or not. To hear the background ambience is part of the BioShock charm.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Fair point. It's an ongoing dilemma I face with every video 😂

[@stackercoding2054]

I would love BioShock 4 (or 3, depends how you look at it) to be a prequel of the first game set on the startings of Rapture where you play as some kind of government or private spy and have to go there to get info from the city and Andrew Ryan and getting a good backstory of the main characters from BioShock 1

[@daveson1014]

Damn that's a genius game idea! Hope it gets picked up! Even and indie game with this premise sounds enticing! Imagine walking around the big blue city under the sky!

[@darotm7628]

Man that could make for such a sick game, I can only dream

[@Jib223]

Burial at sea was a great experience, that ambience though

[@slonsky2363]

There is always a lighthouse there is always a man there is always a city. Cant wait for the 4th game.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Me too!!

[@V0YAG3R]

[@HauntBunny]

So glamorous. ✨️ The enivornment, aesthetics, nd ambience of BioShock make such an impact, it almost feels like you're escaping to a bygone era, for a little while. Even in real life, it's like disappearing into the past. ♡

[@ambient_gamescapes]

That's a big part of why I love making these!

[@Rhyddid_tan]

This is beautiful, a pure work of art! Very kind of you to upload and share

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Thanks so much!

[@lt8901]

LOVE THIS. Probably my favourite jazz ambience video I've come across. Soo relaxing and peaceful to have this playing. Even my cat doesn't mind it, and he's old and prefers things to be silent and calm so this must be a really tranquil sound for him too. It makes me so happy :)

[@ambient_gamescapes]

[@ambient_gamescapes]

I'd love that!

[@sean9920]

This is such a vibe. Thank you for this video.

[@TheMagicKingdom02]

It would be cool if they made a Sims style game about pre war Rapture where you just build a life and enjoy the city. It'd be such a cool and chill game

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Pretty sure I'd clock hundreds of hours with that!

[@HeinousAnus]

Extremely relaxing mix my dude. Thank you for making this.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Thanks for the support!

[@CephalopodsRock]

I would love a narrative heavy RPG set during the lead up/into the beginning of the rapture civil war. Getting to explore rapture just before it got trashed would be awesome

[@ambient_gamescapes]

This would be amazing! It’d definitely be interesting if your decisions would lead to siding with either Ryan or Fontaine.. or allow you to take another path

[@JakeDanczyk]

The transition to the third scene caught me off guard, the one with the waterfall. I went "whoa thats nice". And then I liked and subbed.

This is what I liked about Infinite compared to I and II. We had a chance to see the city in it's prime.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Same. Some might say infinite hasn't aged well but very few games manage to keep the spirit of the previous classics and establish such an iconic style of their own

[@jassykat]

Rapture Citizens: pass me that Plasmid, bro. I'm shaking!

[@TrulySinclair]

You ever wonder, how think would that glass have to be at those depths? And moreso, what material? Ordinary glass wouldn't work for obvious reasons, reinforced glass or other transparent materials maybe, but it would need to be fabricable under the ocean as they became isolationists. I know fontaine smuggled a lot, so there must of some kind of import system available right? But they don't mention if materials and ores were manufactured on the surface and brought down other than the initial building of Rapture. And so I wonder if they had manufacturing in the city for building materials for repairs, they had to know expanding was a must over time, they had the rapture metro which was replaced by Bathysphere tech but manufacturing comes from somewhere so they must have at minimum ores, or materials, to fulfil this manufacturing. They don't have undersea mining operations that are mentioned, so the origin of the glass and metal is unknown to me

[@TrulySinclair]

Self correction, Ryanium is mentioned in the book as a transparent aluminum and apparently the walls of Rapture are ~8 foot thick!

[@ambient_gamescapes]

Great questions! I wasn’t aware of the transparent aluminum but it sort of fits with the ambitious weird/mad science of Rapture and the kind of unbridled talent that it was intended to attract. And I always figured that the Big Daddies were entrusted with securing underwater resources (we do see them making repairs at the very least) and that most of the manufacturing & construction took place on site. But as you sort of suggest it seems likely that there’d be off-site but nearby mining and industrial facilities that just simply weren’t shown or mentioned 🤔 But now you’ve really got me thinking

[@TrulySinclair]

@@ambient_gamescapes honestly after commenting this I decided to buy the BioShock: Rapture novel and it’s been an amazing read. The main protagonist is Bill Mcdonagh, one of the few audio diaries found around by him originally painted him as an outstanding engineer or sorts, and sure enough Ryan hired him back in manhattan after installing one of 3 toilets with tin instead of brass for the fitting, and handing Ryan a rather small invoice and sticking to his integrity instead of padding it. He was tested, then became one of the lead engineers of Rapture. We learn manufacturing initially was done as many prefabs and then lowered down, rehashing the Bioshock 2 museum, but with more depth and a POV almost entirely from Bill throughout the book. I’m still reading into the early days of Rapture now, but it’s been fascinating to get this view of Rapture. And a whole new side of Ryan and Cohen and the others! There’s many submarines and submersibles during the initial construction with emphasis on the lobster like claws and remote control technology way before rapture was built which showed how far along Ryan tech was beyond the era it existed in.

Great premise for a sequel!

[@yigyasa8073]

Amazing.

[@QTEila]

We need a full scale RPG for Bioshock that starts out in the time before the fall, taking place over the span of several months and the last third of the game being during the civil war as all hell breaks loose.

Can't they just remake Bioshock 1 already? Oof.

Unless it is already fixed in your more recent videos , in that case, Great..! If not , then its just something to keep in mind maybe.

Ambient Bioshock👶

[@shismarg]

La historia de este juego podría ser el origen de la corrupción en Rapture, por qué se vino todo abajo? Si la historia es buena, podría ser incluso mejor que el propio Bioshock.

[@jassykat]

No cayo por corrupción, sino por los ideales de su creador que a simple vista parecen buenos pero en realidad dan vía libre para q gente sin escrupulos haga cosas terribles. Por ejemplo toda la sociedad se volvió adicta a los plasmidos porq el permitió q se vendan sin regulación porw según el es malo regular a las corporaciones.

[@ambient_gamescapes]

@@jassykatvery well said!

[@shismarg]

@@jassykat ya, pero, más allá de todo debate filosófico sobre la condición humana, el'juego podría ir sobre algún fallo en el proceso de fabricación de los plásmidos. Ese fallo es el que hizo que se volvieran adictos a ellos. Tal vez alguien que quería subir a la superficie a contar lo que había allí abajo pero no' lo dejaron. Puede que fuera algún ingeniero en genética molecular.

[@jassykat]

@@shismarg segun lo que entendí, las corporacion encargada de los plasmidos sabia que los plasmidos eran extremadamente peligrosos y adictivos, pero no les importaba y los publicitaban como un tonico milagroso y seguro, tanto así q sus ciudadanos no tenian idea de q estaban consumiendo un producto dañino, creían q era seguro. Ryan permitio eso porq segun el, la "innovación" y "avances científicos" no pueden estar limitados por regulación y la moral.

[@jassykat]

@@shismarg intenta crear un paralelismo con la vida real donde a principios de 1900 hasta los 60's, las corporaciones tabacaleras promocionaban como algo seguro con muchos beneficios, habia publicidad a montones, en dibujos para niños, doctores lo recomendaban, etc, etc. Hoy ya se tiene prohibido todo eso, porq se sabe q el cigarro es dañino. pero antes no estaba regulado y a las corporaciones no les importaba mentir y hacer pasar un producto dañino como algo sano.
