I'm liking the idea that game owners get the remasters for free, now only if this can somehow make its way to consoles.
2K Finally Announces Bioshock: The Collection
- Thread starter ffronw
- Start date
I wonder if game owners get access to the Director's Commentary? Or if those will go up on Irrational's youtube page? I do love hearing Ken talk...(not sarcasm)
I imagine because Infinite hasn't been out very long, a little over 3 years ago. Burial at sea is maybe 2 years old.Damian Porter said:
Bioshock 1 was actually made in a pre-Unreal engine 3 world, if I'm not mistaken it's pretty much a heavily modified version of the engine for UT2K4. I hope they go full ham with it, port it into the modified UE3 they used for Infinite, that atmospheric lighting and shadows would do wonders to the world of Rapture

Bioshock was an amazing experience that was boxing out of its class gameplay wise, with a fetch-questy 2nd act that ended in the ultimate twist, with a shit 3rd act and a rushed ending. Bioshock 2 was an even better game that explored the opposite end of the spectrum from Randian Objectivism and as a pair they explore the dangers of choosing the extreme. I need to pick up Bioshock 2 on Steam now so I can schedule a replay around this.
as we saw towards the end of Infinite

I'm getting this.
As said before, I want to play Infinite again, but cant be bothered with dusting off my PS3, so this will do nicely.

Wait... Is 2K telling me that if I spend about 10 or so US bucks during the Steam Summer Sale, I could potentially get this remaster for FREE?? *throws wallet at Steam again*
Other than that, this will look great in MY collection... Right, my little sisters?

Excellent, given that I just saw all three Bioshock games for sale on Steam last night for 10 bucks and went... yeah why not. Bonus!ffronw said:
Wait? MP was required in BS2? I haven't gotten around to playing it(I have it on steam....somehow, despite not remembering purchasing it) but that does not make me want to try it.Ten Foot Bunny said:Took the words right out of my mouth!

Curse my completionist ways. I never started Bioshock 2 because I didn't want a game on my card that I couldn't finish without hours and hours of pointless grinding. I love the fact that the game is coming back without the once-obligatory multiplayer mode. It ruined Dead Space and F.E.A.R., so it's nice we're going to see Bioshock 2 as a creative tour de force, unchained from atmosphere-killing dickheads spawn camping and teabagging each other.
I'll be interested in seeing how much of a remaster BioShock and BioShock 2 will be getting. Judging by the pictures, it doesn't look like a Halo Anniversary scale remaster, so I would probably just expect a bump to the texture resolution or something. Ah well, better than nothing. Getting it for free anywho, so I'll definitely give it a go if I ever feel like replaying the games.
MP isn't required to complete the game itself, but you have to suffer through it if you want to get all of the achievements.Dalisclock said:
I'll absolutely get this collection. I played through all three games and the addons, but the excitement I felt from the announcement shows me that Rapture isn't through with me, yet.
And seriously, the Paris presented in 'Burial at Sea' belongs to the most beautiful places I have ever seen in a video game.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was gonna have words for....someone if MP was required to play the main game.Ten Foot Bunny said:
As an achievement whore, I still have plenty of words for someone.Dalisclock said:
Actually, I never bought Bioshock 2 because of the MP achievements and not wanting to start those up. Now I have an excuse to buy the remaster AND never buy the original. Double win!If that's the case then should I just buy the games on Steam now for $5 and get a free upgrade to the remastered version, thus saving myself paying full price?EndlessSporadic said:
I actually want to know this because I also plan to get the Skyrim remaster and if I can get it for that much cheaper that would be great!
Do the PC players get the dlc to Infinite for free? I haven't got it yet and want to know whether I should get it on sale.
I'd be cautious. They'll likely say only people who bought the games before a certain date are eligible for the upgrade. Either way, the three games are a steal for $10 USD (the current discounted price). Even if you aren't eligible for the upgrade later I highly recommend the regular versions.pearcinator said:
I think I'll wait. I've played Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite on my 360. Never played Bioshock 2 but now I got a boss PC I'll buy the remaster on that. Same goes for Skyrim (although I've never owned Skyrim, played the shit out of Oblivion though).EndlessSporadic said:
Good ol' Bioshock and Bioshock 2. Nothing says fun like being trapped a mile under the ocean and surrounded by baby-eating psychopaths.
Fair enough. People hate on Bioshock 2 for reasons I simply can't see, but it is still an extremely solid game that feels like it belongs in the series. It's better to think of it as a supplement to the world building than as a sequel to the first game. You'll have much more fun playing the game if you go into it with that mentality. Rapture is an absolutely incredible thing from a world design perspective.pearcinator said:
