I'm sorry, I don't post here much but I had to say something. Why does speculation always somehow turn to Bioshock? No matter how many times it is said this won't happen someone comes in and brings it up again. Bioshock is not going to be a house. This year or next. Besides that the game is now a few years old and we are now instead looking torwards Bioshock: Infinite. My point is this is not getting us any closer to figuring out what this year might be. There is a wish list thread for these things. And I don't care how much you might want it but nothing points to it and all the reasons why it couldn't happen have been pointed out. So why not put it where it belongs and we can add to this thread. And to do just that here are my thoughts on a few things.
I don't see Cindy happening. The amount of convolusion that would have to happen to make this fit her story would destroy her character. Her icon status ( if you can call it that having never had an entire event to herself) is that of her as a child. To make her grown up to fit this story would basically make her someone else. The general public won't know it's the same girl they'll just know this is a girl named Cindy and make no connection. Also why is it that a small mention of fire brings up Cindy? The original story of Eddie was him getting disfiguered by fire. Fire isn't just associated with her.
As for Chance, yes please. I fell in love with her last year. And since there is no backstory for her creating one wouldn't be a process of continuity error, twisting, or shoving a round peg into a square hole story wise like it would be for Cindy. And since she isn't really at icon status this wouldn't be a rehash of old icons. But with it being "a new decade of horror" (or whatever it was) even this doesn't seem likly ( though right now subtle clues do point to Chance, even more so than Cindy unless you twist things to fit what you want).
