Bioshock story

[Double_A]

I really enjoyed the Bioshock games although I dont really fully understand the story or how bioshock 2 fits into the whole thing, however I do understand the infinite universe concept to it. Can anyone send me a link to a video or series of videos explaning the whole concept?

Infinite is a prequel to the 1st as for as I know. No idea about the 2nd game though.

[destructinator6]

is it a prequel or a parallel story to bioshock?

Spoilers for Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite.
My theory is that Bioshock 2 took place in a different version of Rapture. In an alternate universe, where Sophia Lamb came to Rapture and the Atlantic Express was built.

I also think that Elizabeth may not have visited this version of Rapture, but she saw it through the doors.

Don't think too hard about it. The only crucial role the "different versions" of infinite worlds was only to emphasize that there were simply infinite worlds. Only when a character is SIGNIFICANTLY different, (Booker / Comstock) can you draw the conclusion that it is a different city. This is not the case with the city of Rapture portrayed in Burial at Sea; it is the same Rapture in both previous games, including BioShock 2. (I'd even judge, however, that Rapture would exist whether or not the events of Bioshock Infinite's Columbia happened.

(Obviously, with no Elizabeth means Fontaine never gets his Ace in the Hole or Levine would have to either make up another way how it all happened or leave it up to the imagination, but Rapture's construction was independent of Infinite)

Right before Jack's confrontation with Andrew Ryan in BioShock you will find a voxophone were Suchong references Sinclair (from BioShock 2) when talking about the vita chambers. Obviously, before BioShock 2, "Sinclair" was just a name for the voxophone, but later they actually made him into a crucial character.

Basically, BioShock 2 was just adding and reinforcing characters unexplored by the first game. But it's all one universe when it comes to the city of Rapture ingame.
