  • We confirm he is a caucasian man......We can tell by his hands

  • Actually, *SPOILER ALERT* (you've been warned) I think the only reason he speaks only once at the beginning of the game is because right after he speaks Atlas/Fontaine takes his mind under control "would you kindly..." ect. So there's really no way he could speak since he basically has to do what Atlas/Fontaine says without questions. That's just my interpretation of why he only speaks once.I could be wrong though, of course.

  • The guy in the trailer isn't jack. He does not have the tatoo's on his wrist like jack does.

  • 0:49

    HAHA i like the present! "Would you kindly not open until christmas"?

  • Awesome, I'm on my first playthrough and I can't get enough trivia!

  • @ShiningOmega pardon kind sir, but I was not in a sober state of mind yesterday. I was pissed at everything, and everyone would you kindly forgive me.

  • @PvtChoi16 It's all good. We all have days like that sometime. Thank you for such a polite apology! Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

  • how did you make this with windows movie maker!? I can barley put together a simple slideshow with that thing!

  • Jack has those wrist chain tattoos are referring to him being a slave :O

  • @mariofan989 because you know Atlas would say " would you kindly?" and Jack always obeys it. so Pretty much Jack is kinda a slave to Atlas (Frank Fontaine) :3 or it could just be a tattoo...

  • hey man love your videos when is the next one coming

  • @silversnake3030 Hey, thanks for saying you like my stuff. I really am just awful at keeping my promises here. I'm a perfectionist and I won't be happy with releasing a video until I am really happy with it. So... I honestly can make no promises about the next one. I appreciate your patience though!

  • @ShiningOmega I understand how long its talking i had to read i bible as punishment in school but you know thats life

  • @silversnake3030 I don't quite understand how that's comparable. You must go to an awesome school if they punish you with the Bible! Lucky...

  • Wait, doesn't Jack wear a white sweater?

  • You'd be hard-pressed to find a Call of Duty fan who pays as close attention or uses as much deductive reasoning. Not saying anything bad about CoD, but this video is definitely some evidence that intelligent gamers definitely appreciate the wild and morbid beauty that is Bioshock.

  • @yubbone Hah, I appreciate that you found the video to be thoughtful. Yes, BioShock is quite beautiful and worth analyzing. Glad you enjoyed it!

  • Wow, this guy really makes some good point! Bravo Dude!!

  • @RinMuiKi Well, thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

  • (in-game) your going to be fine, your genetic code is being rewritten. *falls over a rail*

  • he just knows how to inject himself.... no reason.... just a skill

  • Okay do you know how "atlas" always says would you kindly, on the airplane, when it zooms in on the one letter below from, love mom and dad. its says "would you kindly"Creepy, eh?

  • hey you forgot the audio recording of when Jack was a boy and glasses guy makes him snap a puppy's neck. he uses the "would you kindly" command and jack does wat he is commanded to do

  • @superhuman295 I didn't forget it. It just didn't have anything to do with Jack's face, which is what the video is about.

  • @ShiningOmega oh, but hearing his voice when he was a kid was pretty interesting

  • Hey you said that the name on the box says Jack but this name could be fake to

  • Very very well done video! You did a fantastic job of backing up your points and providing key information about the game, thanks a lot!

  • Heh, the camera snapshot. Looks like he took a mean shit.

  • Jack is very handsome. :3

  • bowse, perfectly executed bro, nice work!

  • very good analysis, in depth :D

  • no bioshock  2 vid thingy?

  • nice vid man realy well done and clearly youv done your research :) you missed a bit though, if you wait on the main menu a long intro clip comes on and you see him through a water fountain fairly clearly which is another good bit to see him :) still good video though

  • Did anyone else thing the thread picture of Jack looked like Orlando Bloom?

  • how do we know atlas is fontaine?? who says it a video recorder or what??

  • @EHHNURGEE Have you played through the whole game? Peach Wilkins implies it, Ryan implies it, and then Atlas comes over the radio and flat-out announces that he owes you a little honesty, and that his real name is Frank Fontaine. For the rest of the game, he taunts you about how he fooled you about that. How did you miss this?

  • @ShiningOmega i was really rushed while playing the end which really disappointed me,,, ill probably play through it again after I'm done the second 1(that sucks so far)

  • @EHHNURGEE

    Did you even played the game ? if yes ... what a waste for you :/

  • Very informative. :D

  • I don't think Andrew Ryan nows that Fontaine is atlas, because in a radio call fontaine says that Ryan wanted him dead, so he got a new face, changed his name to Atlas and made home for the poor, and hotels for kids and made Ryan look like he could be the bad guy, then the splicer war got out Atlas vs Ryan.

  • LOL i jist got my new gameinformer and guss hows face is in it JACK yep thats right it has a pick of jack frome bioshock lol

  • I have learned something new.

  • @WhiteRaven01 And thusly, I consider this video to be a success!

  • Shining omega, I thank you for still looking at your comments and caring about the questions and answers people, have keep it up. PS I am a huge Bioshock nerd and I loom at the trailers for it three times each a day, so am surprised I did not know Jack had an older model with no chain tattoos or sweater. Again thank you :)

  • When you say info on jacks face from the first trailer thats where you're wrong, he dose not have the chain tatoos on his wrists, but thank you i did not notice what Jacks face was like until i watched this video. I also like how Irrational Games acts like his face matters a whole lot so they just put a picture in the room and say there whats done is done.

  • @ConnorGW That was an early model for jack. They had not decided on the woolen sweater or chain tattoos yet. They were some of the last things to be added in.

  • so whats the picture with the question mark? Was that Atlas?

  • @chruiz42 It was Ryan's placeholder for Jack until he got a proper photo. That's why it was set aside when he got the good picture of him.

  • DId Atlas use Jack to kill His father??

    or...

  • i thought jack was black given hes got white hands :P

  • @aguirreruru Lol wouldnt't that be funny

  • jacks looking good

  • is this jack came from the titanic???

  • I enjoyed this, though the kid whispering in my ear was a little much. Also, there are plenty of games out their that I would consider art.

  • Damn it, stop making fun of Justin Biebe- Nah, just kidding keep on the insults!

  • Wasn't Fontaine his father?

  • That has to be Jack in that photograph. Even if those are his fake parents, Jack surely knows what he looks like.

  • i cant believed i missed that i just went by it last time i played

  • squareface :'D

  • ok im confused jack is delta right?

  • @shomenking121 No. Jack is Andrew Ryan's son, who was born in Rapture in 1958. Delta is Johnny Topside, a diver who found Rapture by accident in the 50's.

  • @ShiningOmega I thought Jack was Frank Fonatains creation/Son

  • Would you kindly..

  • @ShiningOmega delta isnt johnny topside, he was a big daddy prototype who was deamed to powerful to be put in rapture, and was put into a hybernation mode only to be awakend by eleanor lamb (the little sister at the start of the game), and the Delta who up a couple of years later to find rapture has fallen to complete chaos

  • @condjmc Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong... I swear did you even play the game or look at the wiki? Because it seems to me your blurting out this idiocy completely uninformed

  • @hazeman671 what i meant to say was he was johnny topside BUT he was turned into delta who was deamed to powerfull PLUS who-ever made delta fucked up abit because they put the wrong symbol on his hands they put the omega symbol not the delta symbol

  • @condjmc Learn your greek alphabet the symbol on his hand looks like a triangle, that's Delta, Omega is round. like the omega in Shining Omega's channel.

  • @hazeman671 oh, is it, on mine is like _O_ not a triangle i think my xbox is fucked

  • @ShiningOmega thats a logical explanasion. when i got the demo i relize what or who is JACK??

  • @ShiningOmega he cant be related to andrew ryan because you see a couple of flashbacks with him and his parents. And he couldnt be borni in rapture because he discovers it in the beginning

  • @27t3rrySTR33T I doubt you've played the game all the way through. This isn't contested information. Andrew Ryan calls you his son, Tenenbaum tells you you were born in Rapture, Suchong holds a demonstration of you as a child obeying him, and then Fontaine just comes out and explains that he genetically modified you from Jolene's egg, fertilized by Ryan so you could interact with Rapture's genetic encoded systems.

    Seriously, you should complete something before criticizing others.

  • @shomenking121 yes jack and delta are the same people

  • @1239wow actually they are not.

  • @1239wow Lol ur stupid :PPPPPPP

  • @shomenking121 You sir are a moron

  • @shomenking121 Nope two different people entirely Jack was Born in 1958 and Delta's name is Johnny Topside, a diver who accidentally discovered Rapture while Deep sea diving in the 50s.

  • Jack looks kinda like Orlando Bloom without his mustache or elf wig.

  • I hope someone reads this and can answer me. Simply, how do they do the faces? Do they puzzle photos or do they have an artist that comes up with the faces from scratch?

  • @MageAtYou From scratch, possibly look off more then one person for the general idea of the face but yes they are original.

  • thx i was wandering really thx

  • This is good can you find a way to look at subject deltas face please and is delta Jack???

  • No, they don't show Delta's face in BioShock 2 as far as I know.

    No, Jack is a lab-grown man from Rapture born in 1958, who conquered and left the city in 1960.

    Delta is a diver who accidentally found Rapture around 1956-7, who was converted into a Big Daddy and then killed on New Years Eve 1959. Then he's revived 9 years later for BioShock 2, which is in 1968.

  • @ShiningOmega They acually do show deltas face,its in one of the endings

  • Thanks. But I don't think that guy falling to Rapture in the trailer is Jack. He doesn't have those chain link tattoo's on his wrists. Great vid though.

  • When i saw the scene:would you kindly?

    i wanted to scream to horror

  • nice jobthats pretty good

  • @iseek2reek exactly the mum/dad family photo clearly is jack. His mum and dad aren't his real parents but the guy in the middle has to be Jack. Otherwise his creators did such an amazing job of brainwashing him lol.

  • @Danfitz2010 They did do an amazing job, that's why he doesn't notice that he's been controlled the entire game.

  • wow that guy was atlas not jack

  • Also if the picture of him and his family were fake then couldn't he tell? I mean I'm pretty sure he knows what he looks like he doesn't need a picture to remind him. By the way this is a perfect game I just like hearing different peoples point of views on it.

  • All that makes sense but what does the picture with the question mark faace mean, who is that??

  • @ShiningOmega your voice is smooth when are you making another video?

  • on the paper it says would u kindly. thats what ryan says. and from mom and dad. so does it mean that ryan is his dad.

  • @patrick00193 Well, your conclusion is correct, but your means are incorrect. The Mom and Dad are (in a way) Fontaine and Tenenbaum. But yes, Ryan is his biological father, and Jasmine Jolene is his mother.

  • @patrick00193 yes you idiot dont you freakin no fontain tells you at the end

  • Thats not jack its his pet donkey jorpedile i mean come on guys its ovious

  • @jack555233 Of course! How could I have been so stupid? Jorpedile the genetically altered equine!

  • Wanna know how I knew Jack was white already? UM, BECAUSE OF HIS WHITE HANDS?!?!?!

  • I like this guy

  • @BlueBerry385 Why thank you!

  • I didn't come across any diaries or transmissions that infer Ryan actually knew that Atlas and Fontaine were the same person. All the dialogue from Ryan would indicate he was still in the dark regarding that one fact at the time of his death. Atlas's headquarters and Suchong's clinic were both in Apollo square, considering his untimely death after signing up with Ryan, it is entirely plausible Atlas would use the opportunity and his proximity to the scene to do some information gathering.

  • If Ryan did know that Atlas and Fontaine were the same person, why use the blank photo to indicate Atlas in the diagram? If Atlas's knowledge of Jack's conditioning is the key piece of evidence proving his true identity, then anyone able to break into Suchong's flat would be able to get enough information to do the same. Really the only leap is that Atlas was able to send a man to the scene so rapidly after Jack's arrival. But considering the result, it ended up looking spur of the moment

  • @LuckyLokiLuko Ryan killed Jolene because she sold her fertilized egg to Fontaine.

    He was aware that Fontaine now had his child at his disposal, and Suchong's expertise in genetics as an employee of Fontaine Futuristics.

    When Jack shows up on his doorstep, being controlled by Atlas, Ryan can put two and two together.

    I mean, if Peach Wilkins figured it out after dealing with Jack for five minutes, then Ryan would after watching him for the whole game.

  • @ShiningOmega I'm not arguing that Ryan didn't know that Fontaine was the grand architect behind the entire plot, but that despite the evidence he still believed that Frank had died during his initial raid . He never says anything that directly contradicts that point. I'm not arguing against Ryan's intellect, I'm merely offering that his pride obscured his understanding of the facts, which is really the entire reason the Rapture experiment ended up failing in the first place.

  • @LuckyLokiLuko When it comes to Peachy, I would wager that paranoia played a greater role in his thinking than deductive reasoning.

  • In the beginning, he doesn't "sink" down to rapture, he swims to a big tower after the plane crash and is lowered down to rapture by a machine. Also, wouldn't jack know what he looks like and could tell that that isnt him in the photo?

  • @saucon12 It was an early version of the game, they hadn't added in the sweater, chain tattoos, or bathysphere yet. No, Jack doesn't question what he looks like. They've altered his perceptions of himself and his history to fit what they desire. If his memories show him looking like that with his parents, then he has no empirical evidence against it.

  • "To Jack, would you kindly not open until..."

  • JACK FROM MUMMYS RETURN :D

  • lol at atlas's ears XDD their pointy XD

  • Comment removed

  • Jack is Starkiller?

  • @Starwise77 Lol. He does kind of look like Galen.

  • How did find the picture of Jack getting thrown by the big daddy?

  • @Magex544 I took a screenshot in the middle of the BioShock TV trailer. He gets thrown for like 8 frames.

  • @ShiningOmega I saw that trailer, it wasn't Jack, if it was Jack he would have the chain tatooes on his wrists, but in the trailer he didn't.

  • Actually you can see Jack's face in the BioShock Wiki. You also hear his voice in Dr Suchongs audio diary when he is told to 'kindly break the puppy's neck' :(

    Have a nice day :D

  • @XpeanutttX Yeah, the pictures on the wiki are the same ones that I'm showing you here.

    Why the "actually"? It's not contradictory to what I said.

    As for his voice in the audio diary, I mean in the course of the game, his opening speech is the only thing he says.

    As you control Jack, that's the only thing he says.

  • @ShiningOmega Oops, sorry, I promise, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was contradicting you in anyway. Somethings don't make sense to me yet; I'm only 12. ;D

  • Don't they say something about jack  in bioshock 2 I'm playing it and I don't remember the last name they said it was jack then something to do with above? I don't remember so does that mean your still jack in bioshock 2?

  • Would you kindly.

  • why is tenenbaum on the board shes in bioshock 2. wierd and im surprised that no one saw that.

  • @wolfman200100 Yeah, Tenenbaum is in BioShock 2 for about 2 minutes. She was one of the main characters in BioShock, so why would it be strange to have her on the board? Did you play the original?

  • Awesome video, thanks man.

  • @Jocroe54022 it has too :) otherwise the plan wouldnt have worked

  • awesome

  • 1:55 "A white man with dark short hair..."

    My god, that is only nearly every protagonist in modern western video games.

    Joking aside, great video. You're a good narrator.

  • Great video and I do believe that is jacks face in the would you kindly room but in the trailer that is not jack because when he uses the winter blast plasmid you can see on his wrist there is no tattoo I'm not trying to hate on this video I'm just pointing that out.

  • @ShiningOmega I dont know they look just like jack's wrench (and they are gold)and you can take them like diares..and im sure it was in bioshock.

  • @MiikaSopuli

    They probably just look gold because of Bioshock's epic lighting and bloom effects.

    That being said, there are no gold wrenches in the game, but you can collect wrenches dropped from Thuggish Splicers, but it has no effect, and is probably like that because the game allows you to pick up the first wrench in the game.

  • @CentralXbox It was an early version of Jack. The game went through multiple aesthetic versions until settling on a final version. Hence the lack of chain tattoos and vest instead of sweater. I wasn't using him as an exact template for my final answer, just to show that he was a white guy with short, dark hair. They did keep that aspect of his character for the final version.

  • Have anyone else found these golden wrenchs from some weird locations?

    Do you guys know what they are? :P

  • @MiikaSopuli Are we talking about BioShock still? There are golden wrenches for the Engineer in TF2, but that's about the only golden wrenches I know of. If not, then what are they?

  • lol ryan didnt know atlas was fountaine..fountain faked his death and then went on to atlas to try to fool evryone that fountaine was dead even..ryan says"atlas you can kill me but you will never have my city." if he knew it was fountaine he wouldnt say atlas in that quote

  • Lol on the security screen he looks like Charlie Sheen!

  • Wow nicely put man

    Way to really dig in to the game

  • @vestolorde1 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

  • Wow i couldve figured that out if i actually payed attention to the threaded pictures!

  • @CentralXbox thats a flaw in his info, we should know

  • @CentralXbox because in the trailer, thats not jack

  • Actually they don't really show him or even make his face up because they want you to imagine him how he looks. They want you to imagine how he looks, dresses, talks, and stuff. So i technically dont belive this but that my opinion, thanks :3

  • @daniandgaby What's your proof for this? Did Ken Levine say something in an interview? If Jack's face isn't anywhere in the game, who is this, and please explain the threads then.

  • btw ryan didnt know that atlas was fontaine. example: the WHO IS ATLAS? signs throughout the game starting at arcadia.

    another example is that peach willikins told everyone in encounter that atlas was fontaine at some point (dont trust him with your secrets, guys). and andrew ryan employed him, an encounter, so he mustve told ryan, but ryan didnt believe him (as for the WHO IS ATLAS? signs).

  • jack is a handsome yound lad

  • thats jack, i believe him, bioshoick is art

  • Do a walkthrough cockle who are these charecters maybe I should play this game

  • great work,man

  • You are waay to smart man!

  • What about the question mark photo that is attached too Jacks photo?

  • If you pay close attention to the Atlas photo (especially to the left eye (right on the picture) , you can clearly see that this is actually Fontaine in a wig or with genetically reconstructed hair (or simply a younger Fontaine). One of the many hints hidden in plain sight (not unlike the phrase "would you kindly").

  • @WereBoar You're right! Same nose, mouth, bone structure.

  • Would you kindly get me a sandwich

  • thank you

  • would you knindly not open... omg ... the gift was from Andrew

  • sooooo let me get this straight his face is white but his hands are black! (before using plasmid in begging)

  • erm wouldnt the photo in his wallet be him anyway cos if it wasnt wouldnt he realise it wasnt him?

  • @zangetsu9258 agreed

  • @zangetsu9258 that's what I was thinking .

  • @zangetsu9258 yeah

  • good job man. Seriously pretty good on the sherlock deductive reasoning. I never realized this as I was playing the game. It's cool to see what jack looks like.

  • @YawningBoy Agreed

  • I kinda pictured him in my head like that.....

  • really great video man

  • Mr. Rogers isn't the only badass in a sweater now.

  • heaaaaaa did u see the parcel 'would you kindly' yoooooooooooo wtf

  • @jjkillerx Watch my "Location of Rapture" video. I discuss it there.

  • Ever thought of been a journalist ? i think it will suit you.. great video by the way.
