Intro

Start the Game.

Start a new game!

Rescue yourself out of the ocean after your plane crashed!

Enter the building.

Enter the Bathysphere!

DO whatever you need to do

"under the sea"

Now you can see the Andrew Ryan talking about the beautiful town rapture.

But whats behind the scene?

We're on a Bathysphere-elevator?

Who knows?

Lets find out!

Bathysphere-Elevator-Scene

Behind the sceen must be the ocean?
A big metal-structure which elevates the Bathysphere deep into the ocean?

Almost....
Ocean? Yeah, of cause, its under the sea!

Anything else?
No..
Thats what it looks like from behind the screen, fantastic, right?

You see the sign?
Thats the screen which shows Andréw who's talking about repture!

Noticed the four little pieces around the sign, thats the area where you enter the "Bathysphere-inside" and trigger the textures to load.

Note:
(If you outside the "Bathysphere" the sign is full black and dont show the video material)

First time we see rapture

The moment the screen "moves" away you dive through gas?

Here:

Followed by an animal:

HUH! What does it look like outside of the Bathysphere? o.O

Here's the moment the Bathysphere almost reached his lowest level.
You see the "gas" and the "animal"?

Thats the moment the "screen" moves away.
Followed by diving through "smoke/gas" and almost hit this undersea-creature...

Remember this moment:

The Bathysphere is not visible from behind? strange...

Second part of the scene

BigDaddy:

Nothing special to explore, Bathysphere diving under water

Now we head into another "Bathysphere-elevator":

Lets check what we can see:

aha..

After the Bathysphere reached the elevator and start diving up, it disapears and never shows up again.
Your even not able to re-enter the Bathysphere... its gone...

(even the "room-itself" despawn, not only the textures, which make me think about a teleport scene, but i was not able to find the last position for the "diving-up-scene" inside the elevator in this loaded area)

Your be able to "hear" the dialogs but you cant do anything, you need to restart the game.

Your safe if you re-enter the Bathysphere right bevor it starts diving up.

Thanks!

I didn't use any form of software to create this material.

The Game itself + ingame-console

@SuperStruct, of cause there is way, there is always a way to bypass security/lanchers :D

Step 1: Try to find the "DefUser_deu.ini", "Defuser.ini" or "User.ini" in the "Binaries"-folder
----> DefUser_deu.ini is for german user, german user own a "special" version of this game xD

Step 2: Open it in notepad or something else your able to edit this file

Step 3: Change the Key you want, example: F4=IGBIGBUCKS or F6=FLY

Step 4: Launch the game and press the key to toggle the command

Example:
SHOT (Screenshot)
SLOMO (Slomotion Gamyplay)
GHOST (noclip)
KILLPAWNS (kill all)
TOGGLEHUD (On/Off HUD)
FREEZEFRAME (Freeze the Game)
WALK (Exit the "FLY" command)
FLY (flying around)
GOD (godmode)
GIVEHEALTH (full health)
IGBIGBUCKS (500 Dollar)

There are way more commands, just google, I dont have more charakters to write on this comment section :D

@Takane That doesn't seem to transition over to the 2K launcher version of the game. Is there a way to bypass the 2K launcher, or did you get this info on an earlier build?

Takane [author] 26 May, 2023 @ 12:48pm

@SuperStruct Its really simple:

1. Enable developer console by right clicking the game in your steam library and in the launch options add "-allowconsole", like all other bioshock remastered games on steam :)

2. Launch the game and press "TAB"

3. Type "Fly" or "Ghost" for freecam/noclip

4. Type "Walk" for go back to the normal gamemode

@Takane
How do you enable those codes in the remastered version?

Takane [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 12:45pm

@SuperStruct: only ingame-console like freecam/noclip, nothing special

SuperStruct 24 May, 2023 @ 9:14am

I always thought the "projector screen" sign was stored in the geometry of the bathysphere itself. This was an interesting thing to learn.

Did you use console commands to see this, or some other method?

@Takane

Thank you for that. I love a write-up like this. Your efforts are greatly appreciated on my end.
