External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on BioShock. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Trivia: Booker DeWitt was named after the physicist Bryce DeWitt[edit]

Booker got his last name from the Bryce DeWitt who worked on the many worlds theory in quantum mechanics. See wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_DeWitt

Regards, 2600:8805:9880:FA:8D16:DB4E:931A:A211 (talk) 00:47, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While many third-parties have made the connection between Bryce and Booker and the many-world theory, we would need someone from Irrational Games like Ken Levine to assure this was an intentional reference. --MASEM (t) 03:50, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

HW requirements[edit]

I'm wondering, is there any particular reason why minimum HW requirements (for the PC version at least) are not listed? Actually pretty much for no game on wiki at all, as far as I noticed. That's one of the *most basic* facts I would expect a site called "encyclopedia" to carry about a video game, so is there anything behind it? Hard to imagine nobody ever got that idea… Behemot (talk) 06:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020 notes and comments[edit]

As part of the Unreviewed featured articles sweeps, older promoted featured articles are being rechecked against current criteria and standards. I had some thoughts on this article:

Pinging Masem, Ferret, Al83tito and Pale Autumn as major/recent contributors for input and thoughts. --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 16:14, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is BioShock an immersive sim?[edit]

It's been frequently called as a successor to System Shock, which makes sense considering that a chunk of its developers had previously worked on the series (System Shock 2 especially), but is it actually an Immersive sim? Razzamatazz Buckshank (talk) 02:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
