@GamerSyde:
For BioShock: The Collection, it's also important to mention that PC owners who have BioShock 1 and 2 already will automatically be upgraded at no cost. And that the PC version of BioShock Infinite has not had any upgrades, since 2K notes it is already up to scratch with "current console standards".
This is a terrible "remaster" it's just the PC version(and not even on the highest settings) of the games at 1080p and hopefully a steady 60fps but don't hold your breath.
After 2K messed up Evolve with their shitty money grabbing ways, they want to milk the Bioshock franchise that doesn't really need a remaster. They should do a more worthwhile remaster like Red Dead Redemption and release a PC version so that we can mod the hell out of it.
Holy shit, people still buy them? I really won't get these remasters even if were free..
Also i don't play on pc.
It will sell well because a lot of people still haven't played them or don't have the ability to play it anymore.(some PCs can't)
If you already own the game, the patch will be free i heard.
Edit: Again, the update is supposed to be free.

Most of those issues, in this particular case, seem to be easily fixed by editing a few ini files.
I'm not particularly agains the re-release if that's what they want to do though, and people want to buy it. Just pointing out that the idea of it being in dire need or a remake because of compatibility issues seems like complete bollocks.
On the other hand, shame on anyone buying this if you have the others. You are making these publishers rich, every time they give you less and less, they invest less and gets tons of money for their crappy efforts. Sad thing is this works, hence we are seeing this more and more. Even though I have all three previous games on different platforms, there's no way I'll be supporting this crap.
I never took that much shit for buying something lol.
If you feel ripped off don't buy it but don't go telling people what they have to do.
Shame on me? haha lol
No way i gonna pass on this.
Ps3 ports of Biosock 1 and 2 Weren't as nice. To me this looks leagues ahead.
I get that you are a fan of the franchise and not a PC gamer and have to buy all these multiplatform "remasters" like DMC, COD4, etc etc in order to play them at 1080p, and it is a shame especially as playing at the higher res and framerate helps the gameplay and you never experienced it like this till now.
I have bought games like Last of us Remastered, Uncharted collection etc and can't help but say that if these games were on PC I would not have had to rebuy them to play them at a higher resolution and framerate with harder difficulties afforded by the better framerates and resolution.
Take for instance I can play every Assassin's creed game released at 1440p and higher resolutions at 60fps and higher without having to re-purchase the games. 2K is known for their greedy ways and that greed has ruined some of their up and coming franchises with great potential like Evolve.
Have fun playing Bioshock at 1080p medium to high settings and hopefully at a steady 60 fps, I have been there and done more than that 9 years ago. Consider PC gaming in your future, it's great and much cheaper and better than it was 10 years ago, and if not that's cool too, but just be prepared to rebuy multiplatform games over and over. :P
I 'm tired of buying pc parts and spend hours troubleshooting crashes and stuff over and over. :P With a console i'm settled for more than 6 years.Also the ease of use.
I don't buy a lot of games so steam sales won't make that much difference.
And for other games i just keep my old consoles.
I only rebuy this game , i'm not funding the loong term destruction of this industry lol.
I wouldn't rebuy The last of us since i'm not FAN of it. I liked it a lot but why have a better version if i'm satisfied with the first one ? . It's no Bioshock or Doom to me.
I don't care that pc gamers can play on ultra.
My neighbor has a bigger tv than me. I care more about that itch in my back :P
Console only gaming is cool as well but it's not good enough for me, I hate repurchasing the same game over and over, and I like to play mods of games and I like tweeking them, but I can understand the desire for simplicity, but having said that console gaming is becoming more like PC gaming with day one patches and game breaking bugs happening more often than not.
Hey man, whatever makes you happy, you do that, scratch that itch. Just don't destroy the industry with your remastered games buying ways. :)
I just wish people wouldn't need to convert others to justify their personnal choices if you know the kind i mean.
Glad for you that you understand that different people enjoy different things.
It's not the norm on the discussing internet.
I only have an account here and rarely post because of what you can read in this thread.
I get that there's not much else to do than argue but sometimes you just feel like talking to a wall.
No way i'll ever curb to fit.
COD4 remastered, really?!
Maybe a beta issue.
Cod 4 runs smooth on every old platforms it was ported so i agree that it's useless to rebuy it but think of all the kids that started cod with black ops 2 or 3.
They all heard tha cod4 is the best of the franchise so they'll jump on it since they didn't play it (new console players)
They just catter to the "i heard of that game before" audience witch is fine.
I can understand the bitterness some could have when hearing that their game isn't the definitive edition and how this practice smells greed but collections like bioshock were begged over and over thru years on every forums i read.
Edit:This collection is not really a remaster and people who already have the game will have the update for free on pc

Hence the reason I only get my multiplatform games on PC, no-one is going to nickel and dime me when I can avoid it.
You are right, everyone wants to have the definitive version of their favourite games, that's why I get the PC version whenever possible, because it usually tends to be the definitive version of any game.
