Cool, the Bioshock remaster will be the 400th game in my Steam library 
Bioshock was one of those rare games I actually bought day one AND played to the end.
I often think back and remember how I loved the engrossing experience this game gave me.

I don't specifically remember what this looked like before but I have to imagine it was better than this.
Can't remember either, but water is looking really bad in the collection, hope they patch those particles.

It keeps happening probably because there are challenges the devs face that we don't know about. Do you think the devs/publishers just decide to fuck with everyone and release the game with missing effects or other elements?
I'm not trying to defend them. By all means, If you don't think it's worth it or don't want to support them then don't buy it, but to make statements like you're making without having any clue of the challenges the dev team faces when taking on these projects is very childish.
Hopefully the issues will get fixed cause I want to replay these games and the water especially
Is very important for the atmosphere of this game.
Does the dev that handled the remaster have an active social media presence? Any chance they or 2K will listen to complaints about missing effects and perhaps issue a patch reinstating them? I remember back with the original BioShock on PS3, 2K was pretty quick to promise a patch fixing the mixing/poor graphical effects, and delivered on it (albeit it took a couple months, but they made good on their promise).
There ain't nothin' normal about that map!
lolol
But yeah, kind of weird that it's showing on the diffuse texture.
They have a twitter account, but from a quick viewing it seems like your most basic self-congratulatory #brand Twitter. I hope people actively try to get them to fix the issues with the collection by reaching out though.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
It's a Steamplay title so you should have access to both versions regardless of where you made the purchase.
Not sure, but hopefully they'll read/watch the inevitable Digital Foundry analysis.
And the eventual outcry if the PC remasters are downgraded too.
I've worked on games so I have an inkling of insight into the process but I'm just mostly frustrated. I also have the games on steam so I don't have to pay for the patches.

The PC ones don't have a rewritten engine, just a tweaked one, so it will be fine!
That's what I keep telling myself...

I paid good money for this Dynex!
They fixed the 30fps sofa, right?
In a perfect world the PC version is the vanilla game with the actual improvements + 60 FPS physics. But we'll see in a few

Has anyone played with the commentary on in bioshock 1 yet? How is it, and is it like the valve commentary in the orange box?
For real? So it's still on a weird mix of Unreal Engine 2?

If anybody could let the thread know how big the PC downloads are when they show up, that would be awesome. I won't be home for a few hours, guessing I may not get to actually play tonight.
That's just what I was telling myself aka 'hoping'.

The original game had this issue was as well - splicers that were far away would sound like they were right next to you. The mixing in Bioshock was never particularly good, and it sounds like they haven't done much to fix it.

2 and Infinite Remastered are now in my list, chop chop no 1.
Edit - Nope I'm being thick, BioShock remastered is there underneath Infinite.

I've got the uncensored PEGI version in Steam but I live in Germany, where the 1st game is censored. I hope I get the uncensored version.
Haha, it says purchased in 2013...
Wow, from 5gb to 21 gb, hope it's worth it.

I really hope that's a bug or something that's patched.
How can you regress like that?
It's probably a case where the remaster magnified previous issues. Halo CE had an issue where weapons could get stuck in walls and rotate around, causing a racket, but it only became noticeable to me because of the frequency it occurs in Halo PC and Halo CEA. CEA had its share of slight issues with the original graphics (some effects were indeed downgraded from the Xbox version) but the ability to switch back and forth between the graphics and the much better version of the new graphics made it a small issue. Here, it's much more noticeable.
The games are in the weird twilight area of proper graphical updates being limited due to the power differential between the two generations of consoles, but this still feels like a pretty weak offering; there should be a lot more to offer than just "get the games and DLC on a current platform". I feel like the fact that it's free on PC is a big indicator that they realized people would feel ripped off otherwise.

Of course, Bioshock 1 comes first
Cabrón, why u internet so fast? :O
When I signed up for Telekom VDSL50 in 2013 it was like the fastest thing ever and now it's already slow... And I pay like 50 a month for internet and a few calls to cellphones...

I hope Minerva's Den is there, cause it lists it as available for me to buy, but shows that I have it for Bioshock 2.

It's like with Final Fantasy XIII, the 3rd part "Lightning Returns" is under L while the first two are under F. Drives me nuts!
