[KZXcellent]

Well that's a surprise. I thought they'd pass on this since the Collection is out. Nice.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

About damn time.

 

[LowSignal]

I'm pleasantly surprised. Hopefully these are sold digitally.

 

[SheHateMe]

This is great news for me.

I refused to buy the Collection because I already owned all 3 on X360 and decided to keep them and now I can play on my X1.

Thanks, MS, for saving me some money.

 

[Chris1]

Yessssssss I've been waiting for the Bioshock games. Held out on the remaster hoping it'd go BC.

I might even pick up the remaster sooner rather than later now just to show support.

Good on MS for keeping their promise from last year. I have to admit I was beginning to think it wouldn't happen when they pulled the "coming soon" part of the website.

 

[cftrooper]

That's pretty cool. I definitely vouch for that over the collection

 

[Menitta]

Cool. I've been meaning to replay Bioshock 1, but it ran like ass on 360, and the collection is apparently not good.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Well....that pisses me off. Got the collection thinking it would never be BC. At least I have digital copies now I guess.

 

[hwalker84]

BC the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Alienfan]

Good to see 2K stick to their word

 

[Montresor]

Good guy Microsoft making remastered games into BC.

I want to see weirder and weirder BC announcements too.

Like randomly seeing Destiny on 360 is BC. That would be nuts.

I want to see Microsoft make a commitment to making everything possible BC, even if the game is remastered, is a cross-gen game, is a sports game, a niche JRPG, etc...

 

[Samurai G0SU]

that's damn good!

 

[VincentMatts]

I just finished Bioshock1 (remaster) and man did that game age well. What a brilliant game. Just started B2.

 

[Synth]

Well....that pisses me off. Got the collection thinking it would never be BC. At least I have digital copies now I guess.

They were holding off until they got your money.

 

[Segaswirl]

I read that the collection was pretty rough and has questionable asset changes so this is good news.

 

[LordBaztion]

now I have an excuse to buy Bioshock 2 + plus DLC when its on sale.

 

[soundscream]

Yay I didnt waste that $7 a year ago.

 

[amdb00mer]

Well....that pisses me off. Got the collection thinking it would never be BC. At least I have digital copies now I guess.

They were holding off until they got your money.

LOL This guy.... is probably right.

 

[Montresor]

Is there any chance the Digital Foundry analysis will show that playing the Bioshock games BC through XB1 gives better performance than the remastered versions? Purely based on performance. Obviously resolution and bells and whistles will go to the remaster. But I'm wondering about frame rate.

Just wondering how bad the remastered versions are, to see if that is a remote possibility.

 

[DOWN]

Still gross as f that they won't patch the bug messes in The Collection

0 patches and you can't even stream the game at all

 

[Poster#1]

Didn't not expect them to release it since the collection is out. GJ BC team!

 

[VincentMatts]

I read that the collection was pretty rough and has questionable asset changes so this is good news.

Honestly, i didn't really notice anything majorly off with it other than maybe some of the water effects. Only played 1 so far. Otherwise this remaster on my 4k looked amazing. Just started 2 and it looks even better.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Time to finally play my roommate's copy of Infinite.

I wonder if there any improvements.

 

[Duxxy3]

Was not expecting that. I think I already have Bioshock Infinite as one of the games with gold games.

 

[Leflus]

Now I'm glad I didn't buy the collection. Will return to Bioshock Infinite to play the DLC soon-ish.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I'm down for a replay of 1 and 2. Infinite can stay in the garage.

 

[Kill3r7]

Awesome. I was considering buying the digital collection when it hit $20 but this might suffice.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Nice! Haven't touched Bioshock since launch way back when.. would probably be fun to go at it again.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

So much for the argument that remaster collections and backwards compatibility are mutually exclusive.

 

[pitchfork]

Result!

 

[Vert boil]

Wondered how long it had been since the Collection was released.

13th Sept, Collection Released in the US.
13th Dec, BC release.

Three months exactly.

 

[icespide]

excellent news since the collection is kind of a mixed bag

 

[Gator86]

Man, MS is doing it right with BC. Such a great feature.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

They've been on the feedback sites as "in progress" for a while. So anyone wh frequents that site would have known for self time.

 

[LelouchZero]

Wow, I wonder how BioShock 1 will run with an unlocked frame rate?

 

[Fisty]

Nice of them to wait until after the remasters are out, at least.

 

[ktroopa]

Are these titles HD enhanced in any way like RDR?

 

[muzzymate]

Coming soon TM.

Glad they are finally here! Wondering how they'll perform with the unlocked framerate option turned on.

 

[Outlaw Torn]

Are these titles HD enhanced in any way like RDR?

Bioshock 1 seems to run at 60fps and no screen tearing with the unlocked framerate option.

 

[icespide]

Bioshock 1 seems to run at 60fps and no screen tearing with the unlocked framerate option.

you've played it and confirmed its at 60fps? I have a hard time believing this

 

[Ivan 3414]

Well....that pisses me off. Got the collection thinking it would never be BC. At least I have digital copies now I guess.

At least you'll have a current gen console to experience Bioshock 2 multiplayer!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Nice. Really didn't think they would do them with the collection and all.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Noice. MS seem to be hitting it out of the park with their BC solution. Really great stuff here. I'm really surprised because of the remasters though. You'd think they'd have to go through the publishers wanting to keep their bottom line through their remaster release, but i guess 2K doesn't care, and i guess you can also buy them through the XB1 store right?

 

[BouncyFrag]

Bioshock 1 seems to run at 60fps and no screen tearing with the unlocked framerate option.

Woah! That's all I need.

 

[Outlaw Torn]

you've played it and confirmed its at 60fps? I have a hard time believing this

I'm playing it right now and the framerate with the unlocked framerate option on is definitely at 60fps. Just like the remastered version

 

[icespide]

I'm playing it right now and the framerate with the unlocked framerate option on is definitely at 60fps. Just like the remastered version

impressive. looking forward to the DF on this

 

[ktroopa]

/sold

 

[erotic grandpa]

Huh, maybe word of mouth (or the dozens of streams showing blank screens) did their work with the remaster collection.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty salty about having picked up the PS4 collection sight unseen, and now more so that my Rapture Collection can be used.

Never forget:

 

[Izuna]

So glad I didn't buy the collection. Amazing. In some ways this is better than the update.
