Teleportation

From BioShock Wiki

The Teleportation Plasmid would've given Jack the ability to teleport from one area to another designated location at any given moment. It could be used to escape from overwhelming battles by automatically transferring from that point to another much safer locale. This worked by marking a certain spot for the Plasmid to teleport back to. From there, the player could automatically teleport from the current whereabouts to the spot where the marker was placed. Whenever a new teleport marker was placed, the last teleport marker placed would disappear.

Although featured in the Hunting the Big Daddy demo movie, this plasmid never made it into the final version of the game. In Episode Eleven of the BioShock Community Podcast, the developers said that they ultimately removed the Plasmid because of its potential to cause havoc with scripted events in the game. Examples include teleporting out of the fisheries in Neptune's Bounty and setting a teleport marker at the Bathysphere station in Arcadia before the trees in the area get killed, thereby skipping the entire level as well as the Farmer's Market. It could also be used in Rapture Central Control where the player might teleport away from Andrew Ryan, or finally it may have been in Mercury Suites/Apollo Square where if one had Teleport and set a teleport marker, one could cause a bug by teleporting while the player's Plasmid loadout changed. However, Houdini Splicers can use the ability, first encountered in Arcadia, and an advertisement for the Plasmid is shown on a poster in Welcome to Rapture, above and to the left of the first Gatherer's Garden machine. It is also featured in the ads around the machine in Fort Frolic.

[edit] BioShock 2

A multiplayer-exclusive Plasmid, the Houdini Plasmid, will enable the player to turn invisible while moving, disappearing and reappearing with the same "cloud" effect as the one observed on Houdini Splicers, hence the name. While not exactly teleporting the user, those observing this Plasmid in action will perceive it as such.
