When the cities in “Sultan of the Clouds” are first described, the first thought I had is of an upcoming game called Bioshock Infinite. In the Bioshock universe, the first two games are retellings of the 1950’s in an underwater city named Rapture. In this time Line science has achieved the ability to allow humans to splice their genetics with plasmids which allow the user to have powers, i.e. telekinesis or shooting lightning from their hands. But But using too many different types of plasmids causes one to go crazy. The first two games are great and really have good stories, a lot of elements come from Ayn Rand. However, in Infinite the world has changed into floating towns connected by lines that you zip across. I know it’s kind of random but that was the first thing I thought of when they talked about the cities. Here is a trailer if anyone is interested.
Do you know when Infinite comes out? I was a big fan of the first two games and would definitely be interested in this one. In case anyone isn't sold on my endorsement of it, the Chicago Sun-Times reviewer said, "Never once thought anyone would be able to create an engaging and entertaining video game around the fiction and philosophy of Ayn Rand, but that is essentially what 2K Games has done ... the rare, mature video game that succeeds in making you think while you play."
ReplyDeleteI only know that it is suppose to be next year but I also can't wait until it comes out.
