The announcement says that the free upgrade promotion is for those who already own the games. The original releases will probably be pulled, but even so, activating a gift copy of/retail key for Bio1/Bio2/Minerva's Den would net you both versions, regardless of when you do it.

If I only own BioShock 1 on Steam, do I still get the remastered version free? Do I need to own all three?
You'll receive the corresponding remastered version for each pre-Infinite BioShock title you own (Bio1/Bio2/Minerva's Den).

You still get the remastered for 1.
How so?
Your spoiler edit to your post can still be pieced together pretty easily fyi

The directors commentary is of great importance to me - is it on the pc release too?

Is this working well on Xbox? Last night I head achievements weren't working and people couldn't access any saves.
Don't feel too bad. People here pick and choose pretty inconsistently about what's a spoiler and what isn't. Same with Off-Topic Side.
I think if there's going to be a shitton of new people coming in, then we got to play it safe.

Already did the first and second levels, but my concern here is with the trophies.
I'm pretty sure I double checked every space so far, but for the next levels I believe the challange may be one step ahead of me.
Is it possible to back track if I forgot something? (Also, I'm saving every Little Sister, didn't remember if this changes anything or only makes the game harder).

It works now. They fixed it fast!

That is awesome to hear! I guess I will buy a physical copy on amazon to get 20% off.
Thanks!

No. Console release is today in the US. PC release is the 15th.
not too far in but the speech before you enter medical pavillion is changed. its much less dialogue probably because the other was too long ?
FUCK. I knew there was something up with that. I thought I was misremembering since I was already pretty tired.

Man, I remember trying the bioshock 1 demo on PC ages ago. Never played any of them though.
I'm worried they will feel too simple or boring.

Are the pc releases adding in controller support?

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
They already did?

I figured the way the DLCs for Infinite were advertised/promoted it would be impossible NOT to know about the
Rapture
It feels pretty ridiculous spoiler tagging that.
It's a safe assumption.
BioShock 2 received controller support as part of the Steamworks patch, and Infinite launched with controller support, however the original game was never updated in such a fashion.

So this is 1 & 2 & Infinite???
I thought this was only 1 and 2...I am legit interested now!!!
Yeah. Should be everything.
Keep in mind that Infinite on consoles is just the PC version. It didn't get remastered, but Infinite already looked great so it's not really an issue.

not bioshock 1 and 2 (at least when i played them on pc, it's been a few years). i had to use joy2key or one of those programs
Is this confirmed? If so its a HUGE negative.
Why would they feel the need to do this at all? Growing pretty skeptical of this whole package.
It'll be nice to play Bioshock 1 on PC with proper widescreen support and not the cropped bullshit we got with the original release.
Um....you're wrong.
The DLC is clearly about rapture, but the spoiler debacle above was about the main game, which you're trolling if you don't think that's a spoiler, it's literally the fucking ending. Even if you came late to the game and had seen BaS images, it always looked more like an alternate reality sidestory type of DLC, which fits in fine once you've beaten infinite and doesn't seem confusing to reconcile if you haven't, all without realizing the ACTUAL rapture showing up in the main game
All in all it seems ridiculous at any point to just openly post spoilers in a thread where people are clearly going to be playing a game for the first time, 'statuate of limitations' or not. I mean if someone makes an LTTP and is halfway through a game you don't go tell them how it ends either, even if it's a super NES game.

Trolling, really? Come on. I'm not trying to be a jackass, but I remember at the time of Burial at Sea's release
it was pretty common knowledge that it wasn't a side story. Irrational did little to play up any side story angle with promo videos like

The first game always had a controller option? You had to select it in the options and it all the menu's would change to be like the 360 one.
Why would they change the dialogue, of all things?

Does anyone test these fucking games??
Went to check a message in the menu and now the game is frozen. Remember seeing someone mention this earlier.

1: Widescreen doesn't work that way. The look everyone on PC hated was the intended way the devs wanted it to look in widescreen.
2: They patched in an option letting you choose a wider horizontal FOV to the PC version shortly after release for people that hated it.

yes, you will get remasters of 1 & 2. you don't need all 3 to get it.

I considered pre-ordering this from Amazon months ago but I never saw that release day delivery was available for that item (but it always has been/is for every other title) even though I am a Prime member. I checked again last week when I decided to purchase this and still saw it didn't have release date delivery as an option, therefore I bought from Gamestop. Can't really answer as to why this title didn't have that available, but I don't think it was ever offered for this title.

I pre-ordered from Amazon, won't be getting mine until tomorrow...sadness. I contacted customer service and apparently their supplier shipped it late or something? Anyways, I was given an extra $10 off for my troubles. I suppose paying $40 for the game and getting one day late isn't so bad.
The page show 1 to 2 months delivery. I can't with them.
