Looks like they toned down the water? Looks worse. Starting at 1:30.
Edit: Fuck screen tearing.

Aww crap. I didn't want to buy another remaster but I've been dying to show my GF this series for so long.
I wish it didn't look so good.

Noooo they fucked up the water.
The water effects blew me away when I first played it. Still good looking today.

Holy shit at 4:55 and beyond. Yeah, I'm waiting for a patch.
that really annoyed me. it looked like it was missing some significant detail. thats the one thing they needed to get 100% right.
Batman and Bioshock getting screwed thanks to modern consoles is fun.
Huh? Water looks great.
What looks dialed down is the lighting. In the same scene with the water rushing through the tubes, I like the damp lighting on the walls in the original, which is missing in the remaster where the lighting seems reduced. Hmm.
I guess it's more realistic, but I actually liked the abundance of wet walls in the original, lol.
At any rate, overall, the remaster seems like a net gain. Glad I preordered.

Looks good so far aside from a few things. I own them all on PC so I'll check it out later. But if they fix this up really nice and support Pro, I may rebuy just to support the franchise.

30's. I don't know what to think. My guaranteed purchase just turned into wait for patch or sale.

What have you done to my precious baby? How could this happen? Screen tearing? SCREEN TEARING?
Of all the games to not take care of, BioShock is not the one to fumble.
And my water effects... My beautiful sea... Or maybe it's the lighting that's killing it. This isn't what I have been waiting for. This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife.
Didn't I just see that in the video? I only watched it once and I'm mobile. I would love to be wrong.
Let the water hold me down if I'm wrong.

Was this ported into Unreal Engine 4 or something like Batman? Both have similar missing effects.

Yea... I'll take the free PC upgrade and give it a go, but doubt I'll be buying the PS4 version anytime soon.
from heavily modified ue 2.5 to ue3.

So glad I played this on PC, the PS3 frame-rate is horrible.
It's great that console gamers will finally be able to play Bioshock at 60fps, the series is incredible!
The frame-rate on the PS4 has some dips but it's not too bad though.
The artistic visuals of the original game appear to have taken a hit which is a shame but it looks like most of it is still intact.
It's a shame that Bioshock 2 wont have multiplayer in the remaster, it was really good!

Ah, I thought so. Mostly the developers can not match the original artstyle. Something is always missing. Even on Gear of War for the XO. But besides that it was actually a pretty good remaster.
This however does not look good at all.

I don't recall the frame rate ever going that low on ps3 when I played the game.

I'm not liking some of the artistic changes, will most likely stick with the original on PC unless patches fix things up or large improvements are shown.

Who did the remaster, out of curiosity?
Wait, there's screen-tearing in the remaster??

I don't know if giving "thanks to modern consoles" is justified here

It definitely did, the PS3 version was terrible.

Yeah I hear you.
If there's one series where you have to make sure you nail the water, this is it lol
Pretty bummed about this.
Yikes, Just compared PC footage, and the water is just as bad on the PC version.
I hope this gets patched, because on Steam your game gets automatically updated, losing the sweet, sweet water from the original.
EDIT: Not the case, they'll show up as separate games in the Steam Library.

You know, I wonder if they replaced Atlas's generic splicer model in Smuggler's Den with his model from Burial at Sea Pt. II. Same with Tannenbaum (though with Bioshock 1).
i am not. a good reason to not spend money.
I do. PS3 version was horrible. Even with a lower resolution,graphical and texture downgrades it still ran horribly compared to the 360 version.

Wait, the PC remaster will overwrite my original game?
new engine and remade assets with more detail (except the water...).
i'm going to test it on my old laptop then

Strange. I remember being really cautious and taking on enemies one at a time when I could so maybe that helped the performance.
I misread on the steam page, sorry. The original and the remaster show up as different games.

This looks.... No different, aside from framerate. Yikes

No, I think it allows you to select which version you want to play.
