Though Boost mode on Pro doesn't seem troubled by this if you have one

Worth getting for PS4 yet??
I picked this up and am making my way through Bioshock 2.
I had 2 or 3 hard lock ups playing through the first one. About half way through #2 with no crashes yet.
However, if you plan to play through both, be mindful that they share the same save files. You are only allowed 6 or 7 slots, regardless of system space. I played through the beginning of #2 up until the 1st autosave and the game would not save due to the bioshock 1 saves being full. I had to delete those and then restart #2.
Besides that ridiculous scenario, I am having a blast playing through them again. #1 may be my favorite game of all time, and this was probably the 5th or 6th time ive beaten it. Only thing that stood out was the lighting changes. Some places were just missing light. Other than that, nothing stood out.
Really enjoying #2. I beat it when it first came out, but have almost no memory of it, and so far it is really holding up well. I never played Minerva's Den, so I really cant wait to get to that.
I only played through Infinite once, so I'm interested to see how that compares to my thoughts at the time. (Liked it, no where near Bioshock though)

If you don't have PC, absolutely. The best console versions by a lot.

Boost mode? I thought the game was patched for Pro.
This collection has been a disaster for me on PS4.
Bioshock part one I kept having my game freeze over half way through the game.
Now playing Burial at sea and appear to have encountered a game breaking bug near the end of the DLC. This was on top of some very weird sound glitches
When I googled the errors I saw people complaining about the same issues...in the original versions. Pretty awful these were not fixed for these so called remastered versions.
When I emailed 2K initially about my issues with part 1 they responded by saying I should clear the cache. Which is basically bullshit..although I humoured them and did clear as they said and of course game froze again

Having never played through these back in the day (thanks to my World of Warcraft addiction....), I have started going through these on the PS4. Just beat the first one and it still holds up today and looks decent enough on the PS4 Pro.
Question: What difficulty should I start Bioshock 2 on if I want a similar challenge to hard on the first game? I found that difficulty just right for me. I've heard BS2 is a harder game though.

No its not, PS4 version has very poor AF, i had to trade that shit in. XB1 is better from the comparisons. (unless there was a PS4 patch)
Nope, it's happened to me multiple times and now it's crashed when I tried to save and deleted all my save files so I'm done with it.. ..
This is sad.

Ban me if this is old news but it seems like the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro have quietly received 4k updates to the entire BioShock Collection trilogy of games. They now run at the following resolutions (still ~60fps):
- PS4 Pro renders at a native resolution of 2560x1440.
- Xbox One X renders at a native resolution of 3840x2160.
I think it's time for another play through! Mmm crispy 4k resolution
Edit: BioShock 1 seems to have occasional performance issues on both consoles under some heavy action moments (but runs at 60fps on both a majority of the time). This was the worst example I could find:
Hopefully the new patch isn't just a once off effort and that they continue to work on it. I'm really glad that 2K returned to update the games though.

I think this is to coincide with each game getting an individual release (at least on the ps4). I noticed the first Bioshock at least had a director's commentary... was that always there? And is it available on the trilogy If not?

The choice between this, the Switch version, and the original (without some questionable small art/sound changes) is getting interesting.
I’m really tempted by one of my favorite worlds ever, in 4K. Anyone give it a spin yet, and have any impressions?

Beware on XBX, there is some constant juddering (not visible on the framerate video) on Bioshock 1 and 2 for some reason. People on youtube and elsewhere are complaining as it's very noticeable.
I know that would be a big problem for me. For those that have the choice it's better to get the games on Pro.

I didn't know an update was coming for Pro and One X. How did I miss this? Gonna hop on and check it out, almost uninstalled recently too.

The Xbox One and Xbox One X both have a bug that causes periodic frame stuttering that was introduced with the new patch. If you only have one of those, I'd wait for the bug to be fixed. The PS4 Pro is the best way to play at the moment until the bug gets patched on Xbox One and X.
I just played through the opening of Infinite and did a few rounds in the Clash in the Clouds DLC to see if the periodic frame stutter occurs in Infinite too (it does).
Infinite looks amazing in 4k btw! The artwork really holds up IMO. I can't wait for the patch for the current patch

...I wonder if the BioShock collection will be getting another update for the PS5 that will allow it to run in 4k, instead of just 1440p (assuming it's backwards compatible)? On the plus side, the X version won't need a specific 4k patch for the Series X as it's already running at that res.
The developer's commentary for BioShock 1 has been there since release and it's available if you buy the game as a trilogy/collection, not just individually.
