Support NeoGAF

[Machina]

Shut up and take my you know what

 

[SilentRob]

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.

This happens to literally every big game loved by reviewers on GAF. Don't let that dissuade you. Bioshock Infinite is amazing and a master class in storytelling, the whole series is one of the most important, cherished video game franchises of all time. Try it!

 

[Loudninja]

Nice.

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

All I needed to hear. Will definitely be replaying these.

👌

 

[JaseC]

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

Yes.

 

[OléGunner]

I found these games to be some of the most over rated of all time especially Bioshock Infnite, but good for those willing to re-play.

Countless fans have asked for this since the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One arrived – and we listened! Working with Blind Squirrel Games, we’ve remastered BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC making them look better than ever*. BioShock: The Collection brings the three titles together for the first time, complete with all single-player DLC** and a never-before-seen video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” which includes insights from Ken Levine – over $100 of content – for only $59.99. It’s a circus of values!

While I do agree, that it has a great amount of content to offer, I don't really want to pay 60€ for a content I've already experienced. Let alone, that I don't really want to play through the whole trilogy again, just parts of it. So, I guess I'll be waiting for a price drop.


EDIT:

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

Good to hear!

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Doesnt really look really improved?

 

[Spacecowboy77]

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

Neat.

Awesome!

I stand corrected 2k, you're not all assholes

Nice

Also good to hear that the challenge rooms will ve available to XB owners, never got thte chance to play it.

 

[Parsnip]

Depending on upgrades, I might be in.



Edit: oh free upgrade? Cooool.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Finally-! I can't wait to return to Rapture, and dev commentary is a fun addition. I'm also looking forward to Vanguard-ing my way through Infinite again, good times.

ETA: 60 fps, wahoo!

 

[Faenix1]

Already own all three but never bought the DLC.

Tempted for when it's around $40.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Free upgrades! Owning digital PC games are the gifts that keep on giving.

 

[Pop]

No Bioshock 2 mp, no buy

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Hell yes. Day 1. Put the whole thing in my mouth.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

If you've never heard good things about Infinite, you must've avoided all Bioshock threads on GAF. The reactions for the game are overwhelmingly positive. It's a fantastic game. And the spoiler thread for it was one of the best threads I've ever seen on GAF. So many details in that OP. People are just disappointed because the game could've been so much more. It didn't do all the things it promised to do. It's still a damn good action shooter.

 

[funkystudent]

Any idea who is doing the work?

 

[strafer]

Walking around Columbia at the start is probably one of my favorite moments in the series.

The art direction. The music. The ambience.

Love it.

 

[jediyoshi]

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

Considering they'd have to go more out of their way to then fuck things up, the very base line of just upres-ing textures like what's indicative of the trailer is pretty straight forward.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Burial at Sea kind of came and went, but I really encourage people to play through it if they haven't. It's much more core to the series and is not at all a "side story" like Minerva's Den.

 

[bidguy]

im guessing console owners dont get a free upgrade ?

 

[hwalker84]

Never beat Bioshock 2 because I bought it on the PC and they removed controller support.

 

[jayvo]

60 FPS? Guaranteed purchase for me then.

 

[BlizzKrut]

Even though I own all of the games (just missing the Minerva's Den DLC), this is a very good deal, everyone who hasn't touched a Bioshock game or doesn't have a PC, do yourself a favor and buy this.

 

[dancrane212]

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.

Wonder if it would be better to jump right into the second game without replaying the first then? Perhaps a good amount of time between the two games will help out with that.

 

[nortonff]

I can already see a new Bioshock being announced next year. 2K is preparing the ground for it.

 

[ChaosXVI]

Well I'm totally down...but September feels like a month where something else is coming out that I'm somehow forgetting.

Anyone willing to give a quick rundown of major September releases?

Nice. Good guy 2k.

Gameplay is definitely better in the second game, but it still feels like fanfic to me.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Any idea who is doing the work?

It says Blind Squirrel Games.

 

[Torokil]

edit: nm, im dumb

 

[strafer]

Nice.

 

[Haloid1177]

So if I don't own them on PC I should just buy the cheap versions during the Steam sale right?

 

[Melchiah]

That's an interesting idea, and might lessen the feeling of familiarity.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Yes.

£3.80 to complete my bundle, I really like this feature.

Seeing as it's 60fps on consoles I assume the PC version won't have locked 30fps physics?

 

[Strootman]

So $60? Really?

Not buying then. I already have the games for X360, they should have added them on BC instead.

 

[E92 M3]

Bioshock 1 is one of my all-time favorite games (the universe and characters are just unbeaten in many regards). Cannot fucking wait.

 

[Genio88]

"Free PC upgrades for Bioshock 1,2 and Minerva's Den" does that mean that my Bioshock 1 on Steam will get update to the remastered version for free? if that's true it's awesome, that's the one i wanna replay

 

[SunBroDave]

I've heard Minerva's Den is good, but I haven't played it myself yet. Should probably get round to it. Infinite's DLC is a mess though and manages to retroactively ruin Bioshock 1 so... yay?

This guy gets it

 

[Vinc]

Booooooooouuuuuuught

 

[Machina]

Free upgrade? Excellent.

Ummm, I don't really get this. If we're getting the remasters for free if we buy the originals, can't we just buy Bioshock 2 on the steam store right now for $6 and get the upgrade anyway?

 

[Tsunamo]

I've been waiting for this so I can finally play the Bioshock games. I'm sure i'm in for a treat.

$60? What?

Better value than Skyrim remastered at least, but i'm not really liking how these remaster collections are going for fullprice now.

 

[Kalentan]

Well, time to replay the best game in the series.

Spoiler

Bioshock 2. 100% true fact.

 

[Markitron]

My reaction:

Can't wait, best series of the previous gen

For a second I thought it was just bioshock and infinite

See developers , if you include every game in the franchise for a remaster I'd be more interested in buying it

Unlike Arkham Origins, Bioshock 2 is a fantastic game in it's own right that stands shoulder to shoulder with the other 2 games in the series. It also does not have a tonne of bugs, broken combat and isn't set in a barren copy/paste of the previous game's map.

 

[haveheart]

Would be better with some goodies in a collectors box...

I'll definitely get that but I really don't like the box art. Kind of lazy just mashing everything in on picture

Free PC upgrades for Bioshock 1,2 and Minerva's Den

What does it mean by free PC upgrades? What upgrades are we getting?

 

[psychotron]

They've included everything I could have wanted. They will receive my money for this.

 

[Collateral22]

Wonder how much of an upgrade the PC version will be compared to the originals. Played through 1 recently on PC and even maxed out it still looked dated. Wonder if they will re do the textures on it.
