No graphical glitches pop up, there aren’t problems with stuttering, and any amount of tweaks to the settings doesn’t seem to solve the problem.įor that matter, what kind of graphical settings are these? I know the original had presets for Low, Medium and High, but that is completely absent in the remaster.

There isn’t any kind of logic as to why this might be occurring. That ended up not being the case.Ī quick survey of the Steam forums shows that many people are suffering the same issues. I was able to finish one of the DLC trials, which gave me some hope that I would be able to revisit Rapture and put a nine-iron upside my father’s head. My first night playing it was truly terrible, crashing after merely 40 seconds on each attempt.Īfter a Windows update, I got more hopeful as the game lasted five minutes before any issues emerged. I have yet to actually get BioShock Remastered to remain open on my PC for any extended period of time. The colors are vibrant and the game runs smooth, but it also only runs for about 10 minutes at a time. I didn’t extensively play the original PC release (opting to borrow the 360 version from a friend), but I can’t tell what has really changed.

For all intents and purposes, this new “remastered” version is basically a compatibility patch for newer operating systems. There were a bit of issues with some stuttering, but a quick look into INI files alleviated those issues.Īs for the original BioShock, I can’t say I’m surprised by the lack of quality in this port.

It looks gorgeous, has a lot of customization options, and is basically the definitive way to enjoy the game. I did recently play Infinite and it runs like a dream. It has been covered extensively for years now. The console versions are based off of the original PC release from 2013, so there isn’t a need to go into detail about that version.

Rig: Intel Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz, 16GB of SDDR MHz, NVidia GTX 1060 6GB, Windows 10 Home 64-bitįor anyone wondering why I’m not covering BioShock: Infinite, that has to do with the game not receiving a remaster on PC.

BioShock 2 also suffers from issues with newer hardware, so I was hoping the remastered versions would fix most of these problems. The PC versions of the trilogy were solid, in their own right, but the march of progress has ultimately rendered the original BioShock unable to run for people on Windows 8 and above. In addition to having completely remastered textures and better framerates, the bundle compiles all three BioShock titles and every bit of DLC released for the games. BioShock: The Collection is a neat package for any late adopters to the BioShock series.
