Remastered BioShock: The Collection Coming to PC on September 13, 2016

Three BioShock games. All of the single-player DLC. Remastered for modern machines. One value packed bundle.

It’s been nine years since Irrational Games and 2K took you on a terrifying journey to the depths of the underwater city of Rapture with BioShock. Five years since you returned to Rapture in BioShock 2. Three years since you grabbed a skyhook and sailed across the floating city of Columbia in BioShock Infinite. And on September 13, 2016 (September 15 in Australia and September 16 internationally), you can relive these award-winning adventures or experience them for the very first time remastered for current-gen consoles and digital PC with BioShock: The Collection.

Working with Blind Squirrel Games, we’ve remastered BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite 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! And if you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, and/or Minerva’s Den on Steam, you will be able to upgrade to the remastered version of the respective title(s) for free after release. It’s a circus of values!

If you’ve never experienced the series before, now is the time to play it and see for yourself why the award-winning BioShock franchise has topped countless “Best-Of” lists and garnered more than 125 awards including two BAFTA honors, as well as many Best of E3, Best of Gamescom, and Game of the Year accolades from respected outlets such as IGN, GameSpot, Game Informer, and many more. The weapons, plasmids, levels, and character models that shocked you years ago have been reskinned and retextured to look better than ever. On top of that, all single-player DLC created for all three games comes loaded in one package. The bundled content for BioShock: The Collection includes:

BioShock
- The video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” featuring Ken Levine, creative director on BioShock and BioShock Infinite and Shawn Robertson, animation lead on BioShock and animation director on BioShock Infinite.
- Museum of Orphaned Concepts: Walk through a Rapture-inspired virtual museum that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at discarded concepts that never made it into the original game.
- Challenge Rooms: Outside the story of BioShock, tackle puzzles, splicers and Big Daddies. And achievements, of course.

BioShock 2 (**Multiplayer will not be included)
- Minerva’s Den: A self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you've never seen before. Use expanded combat abilities with the experimental Ion Laser and chaotic Gravity Well Plasmid, unique to Minerva's Den, as you face off against the Lancer Big Daddy.
- Protector Trials: Take control of an Alpha Series Big Daddy woken out of hibernation just before the events of BioShock 2.

BioShock Infinite
- Burial at Sea - Episode 1 & 2 Add-On Packs: This major two-part DLC pack completes the BioShock trilogy by taking the series back to where it all began. Return to Rapture just before the events of the original BioShock!
- Clash in the Clouds Add-On Pack: Face 60 waves of challenges across four additional maps for leaderboard glory and unlock areas to explore in The Columbian Archaeological Society hub museum.
- Columbia's Finest Pack: Combines the contents of the Industrial Revolution Pack and the Upgrade Pack and includes 500 Silver Eagles, five Lock Picks, six unique Gear items, and two weapon upgrades: Comstock’s China Broom Shotgun and Comstock’s Eagle Eye Sniper Rifle.

In short, BioShock: The Collection offers more than $100 of content remastered for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and digital PC for only $59.99.

Remember: A man chooses. A slave obeys. So, would you kindly follow the new @BioShock handle on Twitter, visit us on Facebook or go to the webpage and prepare for a remastered BioShock experience?

BioShock: The Collection for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC will be available in North America on September 13, Australia on September 15, and internationally on September 16.

*BioShock Infinite is not being remastered on PC because it already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.
**BioShock: The Collection will not include BioShock 2 multiplayer.

Such a classic game and a great concept. I enjoyed this game so much that spent hours oplaying it on my Playstation. I recommend this game 100%.

"BioShock"

Would you kindly rescue the little sisters? :)

There is honestly a lot to be said about Bioshock, but first and foremost: If you can have any enjoyment out of First Person Shooters, then buy this game.

It is moody. It is atmospheric. It almost works as a horror game some times. Don't get me wrong, I have a slew of critisms for this game. Like a lot. But that doesn't matter so much with a game like this. The world it offers you has so much character and creativity that things like story and gameplay play second fiddle. It isn't ideal, but it is by all means acceptable.

What Bioshock is, primarily, is an experience. The story is linear and almost non-existant. The gameplay is shallow, punishing, and not well thought out. But you aren't playing for those things. You are playing for a chance to experience such a cool world.

Far from a tepid recommendation, I would say absolutely play this if you don't mind dealing with the oppressive first person shooter aspect.

A game I would say is worth you time, I went in not liking it to be honest but it changed the further i got into the story. I would genuinly say it was fun and very "rejuvinating" kind of, it's diffrent and weird but that's why i ended up loving it.

Its good

I really liked the game, was really fun but the final boss was a little too easy in my opinion.
A tip for people who are looking to play the game, dont forget to save. I had to replay a few hours just because I forgot to save

Which game is the best game in the world? Bioshock, Bioshock 2 or Bioshock Infinite?

Where the dystopian commentary trilogy began. This game has a unique art style, an amazing story, and inredible mechanics that are still being copied into newer games today. Would you kindly buy Bioshock?

For people experiencing sound stuttering issues and cannot enable EAX (WINDOWS 10 USERS) , here's a possible quick solution:

1.) Download "openal" (google "openal download") and install it.
2.) Go to windows/system32 map and copy "wrap_oal.dll" to game executable location (E.g.: C:/steam/steamapps/common/bioshock) .
3.) Rename "wrap_oal" to "openal32". After that you can enable EAX in audio options and hopefully that'll fix sound issues for you.

gameplay has held up mostly okay
one of those "must play" games

cons -

really slows down after a reveal towards the middle of the game
garbage optimization for windows 8.1, crashes constantly. i'm not exaggerating when i say a good hour of my playtime was me having to reset the game over and over

Favorite game 1 million/10

Even though I put the game down so many times because I did not want to relearn it, I still loved it. The tension in this game is so good not to mention the chills you feel searching these abandoned halls of a once wealthy dystopia. For once I see a shooter that has an amazing story and it shows how much lack lust things have become. This game might not be perfect but it did something games rarely do for me. It made me feel and that is odd when you don't feel anymore, it left me speechless if it can do that for me then it might do it for you as well. Now I was spoiled a little from a few YouTube videos on the storyline but it still even with spoilers had a huge impact on me like getting hit by a bullet train.

Now the game play made my heart race, that never happens that function in my brain was broken a long time ago and it worked. The last time a game had this huge amount of an impact on me was fallout 3 mostly because I got to see my character grow up and left more questions about my virtual parents than answers. This one if you do the good ending you actually feel like a hero. Now unlike many other games with more than one ending the cause for the bad ending is something that you know is wrong from the start, unlike other games that ask you to put the work into doing some long quest exploring the map and finding secrets, you know how to get the good ending from the beginning . The mechanics are a little tricky that's why I did not pick it back up I had to put it down because life happened and I did exactly what I did with portal 2 and forgot to finish the game.

I am glad I did, I actually came close to tears but still I am speechless this game will forever have a long lasting impact on me.

The game play reminds me of half life if half life had more of struggle with ammo and required you to know thy enemy rather than shoot thy enemy with gun and take his ammo. You must learn this new environment and all it holds conserve ammo and modify your genes to allow you to better fight against the enemy.

Though a warning a lot of people are complaining that it does not work with newer hardware unless you tweak it a lot. But it's from 2007 usually games from 2007 have issues with newer hardware, but there is a remake coming but I don't think it will be better than this one.
