Several of the same wrenches can be found throughout the game. A direct reference to Jack's melee weapon from the original BioShock. When Elizabeth realizes Booker has duped her into thinking they are going to Paris, she hits him with a wrench.When Elizabeth is presented with this game, she exclaims: "Look! It's Flawless Flintlock! It's the newest one in the series! I heard it was delayed three times!" This a jab at BioShock Infinite itself because of its "new game in the series" and its actual delay for the release of three times. When Booker and Elizabeth enter the Arcade of Battleship Bay, they will come across an arcade cabinet featuring Dimwit & Duke called " Flawless Flintlock".Rapture/Columbia, Jack/Booker DeWitt, Little Sister/ Elizabeth, Big Daddy/ Songbird, Andrew Ryan/ Zachary Hale Comstock, Atlas/ Daisy Fitzroy, Brigid Tenenbaum/ Rosalind Lutece, Yi Suchong/ Jeremiah Fink, etc. Many aspects of the two games have parallels or are similar in some way. It is later revealed in the Sea of Doors that Rapture and Columbia are nothing more than constants and variables and that there is always "a lighthouse, a man and a city".In the beginning of the game, the priest asks Booker "Is it someone new?", similar to Jack's first encounter with a Splicer ( Rose) in BioShock.Also, developers mention that the candles on the water parallel the fiery waters from the plane crash in the original BioShock. The Church of New Eden parallels the beginning of BioShock with a statue of its leader and the message and belief of the city on a banner.In the original BioShock, Jack sees a whale swimming by as he enters Rapture in BioShock Infinite, Booker sees a zeppelin flying by as he enters Columbia. When the protagonist first enters the city, something significant catches their eye.Both signify the depth/height in which they are traveling until revealing the city through an obstructed view of a window followed by words that represent the city. While the travel to Rapture is descending in the ocean via Bathysphere, the travel to Columbia is ascending into the air via Pilgrim Rocket. The travels to the cities are similar.Jack has chains tattooed on his wrists while Booker DeWitt branded A.D. Plus, the man has some sort of marking on their hand(s). The man that enters the city receives a box/gift containing coordinates, a pistol, and an objective.The game begins with the Lighthouse that holds transportation that will descend/ascend a user into the city the Lighthouse belongs to. Some of the following are parallels of BioShock and BioShock Infinite: BioShock Infinite and the original BioShock have parallels to each other in a sense (revealed to be a part of the constants and variables in the infinite universes).
