@BentheTurtle: Plus, if you only played it previously on 360, you get the previously PS3 exclusive challenge rooms. All three games, with improved graphics and framerate, plus DLC for $60? This is a no-brainer.
Still a great game. I don't get why people are getting so hung up on graphics, instead of the content of the game itself. I'd rather play an awesome game than a polished turd...
I agree and I never complain about graphics, but I do believe people should get more value for their money, if some devs work hard and charge a high price, should that not be a standard? Not that the devs who worked on the remaster didn't.
Not sure what "Sad Reality" the writer is referencing. The game feels completely different from the PS3/360 versions. They are 1080p and 60fps on PS4/Xbone as opposed to 720p 30fps on PS3/360. There were also a few other graphical enhancements as well. For a console gamer like myself, that was worth it alone. The combat feels much smoother and responsive on PS4. Some stutter/frame drops here and there, but nothing too jarring. Also, they included all DLC from all three games and it's some great DLC. People complaining about this remaster need to get a life. What more did you want?
Because we already played these games years ago. We already know how great they were. A huge part of doing a remaster is because of the upgrade in the graphics fidelity. This isn't a new game where all the focus is on the graphics. This is specifically a remaster. I would question how you could *not* get "hung up" on the graphics if there are clear issues.
Well said (Fist4achin). I brought the game to replay the campaigns. I thought they were one of the best games released on ps3. To be able to replay both Bioshock 1&2 on my shiny ps4 along with Bioshock 3 which i never completed is awesome. I couldn't care less about the graphics and upgrades etc. If its not up to your std of remakes or sooped up graphics etc then don't purchase it, or take it back if you already have it.
As you say, not much point in having the ultimate of the ultimate graphically mind boggling game if its an average game to play in the 1st place!!
Most of us already played these. The whole draw of re buying and re playing again is to experience it with better graphics, otherwise what is the point?
It is like saying why watch a movie with better quality on blu-ray again when you already saw it on VHS tape. The "content" is the same why get "hung up" on graphics?
You said in your 1st piece, "whats the point unless its better graphics etc" but then went on to say "if the content is the same why bother" comparing blu ray to vhs?
I bought BioShock: The Collection on PS4.. I'm a first time Bioshock player.. New to the entire series... I'm probably about half-way through Bioshock on Hard Difficulty with Vita-Chambers turned off right now and I'm loving it.
I haven't experienced any issues whatsoever... Nothing technical, nothing graphical, nothing....
The only complaint I have is that for some unknown reason 2K has decided to block BioShock: The Collection from being streamed/broadcasted through the internal features built into the PS4 and Xbox One.
The only way to stream from consoles is if you have your console connected inbetween an external capture card and a PC (to run the stream/CC program)
Other than that the game is delight. I'm glad I finally am actually playing it. Everything looks beautiful and plays very nicely!
Glad you're enjoying it. Originally when.1st released they were top of thier game, although the re-release isn't stellar (in some peoples minds) it truly is great to have the chance to play again one of the best , if not the best trilogies to date.
Seriously the ONLY reason I was thinking about buying this is that I wouldnt mind going through Rapture again with a real visual upgrade. Once I saw the game in action, it was very noticeable that there was only a very minor upgrade. So...no buy.
Xb1 PS4 gets the same PC port with the same bugs and less graphics options
Still a great game. I don't get why people are getting so hung up on graphics, instead of the content of the game itself. I'd rather play an awesome game than a polished turd...
I think its awesome. Never played first Bioshock before, got it for £20 too.
