Never played Bioshock 2 despite picking up CE on clearance. I'll probably pick this up at some-point; that commentary track is something I'd definitely like to check out.

 

[Melchiah]

Day one, if the price is right. Although, I probably will only play the 3rd, and the beginning of the 1st. As much as I loved them, they all drag down towards the end.


EDIT:

The 2nd one is better gameplay-wise than the 1st. Its only downside is, that it's a sequel, and therefore lacks the impact of its predecessor. Minerva's Den DLC is also fantastic.

 

[T-Rex.]

FINALLY. I loved all 3.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Omg I've been waiting for this!! But same day as Recore?? Ugh

Also kinda knew it would be $60. $48 with prime though so I'm in anyways

 

[strafer]

I wonder if there will be a big change in the system requirements for PC.

 

[Bedameister]

YES YES YES YES

OMG GIVE IT TO ME!!!!

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I hope they make Levine do commentary for Bioshock 2.

"Oh, that's a Big Daddy ... I don't know what the fuck is going on, sorry"

Or maybe it would sound too similar to his Bioshock Infinite commentary.

lmao

 

[Spacecowboy77]

Hope they're gonna offer some way to upgrade from the old game like Bethesda did with Skyrim Remaster

Probably not gonna happen cause 2k are assholes

 

[Bulby]

Awesome, but why use a horribly compressed 30fps trailer. Looks like the 360 version. Its 2016 ffs

That would be really nice.

 

[gamerforever]

Played a bit of Infinite, but a bit of a new comer to the franchise - am I in for a treat?

 

[Turkoop]

We really need Bioshock 4.

 

[usp84]

Yeeeeesss just after i will have finished Deus Ex

 

[Samurai G0SU]

OOOH, that's pretty

That bioshock 1 graphic upgrade.
Infinite looks the same though, or are my eyes bad?

 

[Bots are better than you]

The most correct answer: "Freaking finally!"?

 

[AusRoachman]

Need to see what they have improved to justify the price .

 

[Oynox]

1080p 60fps or get bust.

However, I still need to finish those Burial at Sea addons.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Reasonable price. 3 games; $20 each.

With all their DLC too. Hard to attack this from a value perspective.

 

[strafer]

Yes, yes you are.

 

[Lucifon]

Might get this when it's cheap. Absolutely love the series but I already have them on PC and I'm not too bothered about playing again just yet. Do want it for my collection though.

 

[HellofaMouse]

Never played Bioshock, so I'm mildly interested. Though I've never heard good things about 2 or Infinite. Then again I heard praise for Infinite the first few weeks and then suddenly all I saw was hate.

you never heard good things about infinite? it almost stole goty from last of us in 2013.

 

[wesleyshark]

$60? What?

$60 for 3 entire games + all dlc. Worth every penny.

 

[JaseC]

I wonder what the PC version will entail, and whether they'll be charging PC owner who already own all three games for it.

My guess is:

... I'm expecting 2K to follow in the footsteps of Bethesda and give the Collection to those who own absolutely everything (Bio1 + Bio2 + Minerva's Den + BioInf + [Burial at Sea]), with there being various loyalty discount tiers to account for the remaining current owners of something BioShock (Bethesda hasn't announced this for Skyrim SE but presumably will).

Edit: Bio1 owners get Bio1R free and ditto for those who own Bio2 and Minerva's Den. BioInf isn't being re-released.

 

[Maximo]

60FPS and better graphics on PC and I'll rebuy them.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

-No Bioshock 2 multiplayer
-Infinite is not being remastered on PC

Still, glad to play these again.

 

[jediyoshi]

whew

bioshock 1 physics fix please and thanks

 

[ferrasvansen]

I'm in for this, can't wait to play the Bioshocks all over again.

 

[Revolutionary]

Pretty much.

Will keep an eye on the PC Bioshock 1 remaster, though. I hate the 30fps physics bug it currently has.

 

[Corpsepyre]

-No Bioshock 2 multiplayer

Still, glad to play these again.

Where'd you get that info from?

Saw that coming. Infinite still looks amazing on PC.

 

[Savantcore]

BioShock Infinite is not being remastered on PC because it already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.

BioShock: The Collection will not include BioShock 2 multiplayer.

BioShock

The video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” featuring Ken Levine, creative director on BioShock and BioShock Infinite and Shawn Robertson, animation lead on BioShock and animation director on BioShock Infinite.
Museum of Orphaned Concepts: Walk through a Rapture-inspired virtual museum that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at discarded concepts that never made it into the original game.
Challenge Rooms: Outside the story of BioShock, tackle puzzles, splicers and Big Daddies. And achievements, of course.

BioShock 2 (**Multiplayer will not be included)

Minerva’s Den: A self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you've never seen before. Use expanded combat abilities with the experimental Ion Laser and chaotic Gravity Well Plasmid, unique to Minerva's Den, as you face off against the Lancer Big Daddy.
Protector Trials: Take control of an Alpha Series Big Daddy woken out of hibernation just before the events of BioShock 2.

BioShock Infinite

Burial at Sea - Episode 1 & 2 Add-On Packs: This major two-part DLC pack completes the BioShock trilogy by taking the series back to where it all began. Return to Rapture just before the events of the original BioShock!

So that essentially confirms that Infinite hasn't been touched, just ported from the PC version.

 

[AlStrong]

Would be nice if they could implement a player shadow for the first two games (where there are certain lights that cast dynamic shadows).

 

[JimJamJones]

PC owners of Bioshock 1, 2 and/or Minerva get a free upgrade.

Neat.

BioShock 2 MP was garbage so it won't be missed.

 

[Thornton Reed]

Infinite is one of my all time favourite games I can't wait.

60fps would be a nice bonus but just getting the game running smoothly is enough for me as it was a bit of a disaster on ps3

1080p 60fps on console, and free PC upgrades for Bioshock 1, 2 and Minerva's Den. No Infinite PC remaster.

Hahahaha from Who? Man GAF was drinking something fierce when that game released.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

It really wasn't good, but I do have a fondness for those maps and the dumb little apartment and narrative thing they built around the multiplayer.

not just GAF, everyone was

then The Last of Us came out and did very similar things but infinitely better.

Same, the apartment was pretty cool.

 

[Skiptastic]

All 3 BioShock Games?

All Single Player Content? Minerva's Den?! Buried at Sea?!?

Yep, I'll be grabbing this one.

 

[N° 2048]

Day effing 1.

No big surprise there, although some will no doubt cry foul about the PS4/X1 version just being a straight port.

 

[strafer]

Free upgrade? Excellent.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

So I should buy the Bioshock bundle now then to get the free upgrade as it's super cheap ATM.

 

[amdb00mer]

Waiting for the inevitable comparison video like the one that was done for the Batman: Return to Arkham collection.
