BioShock: The Collection is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game will include remastered versions of the originalĀ BioShockā,Ā BioShock 2,Ā andĀ BioShock: Infinite. However the PC version will only feature advanced versions of the first 2 games as 2K Games has stated that it "already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings."Ā
The games will run at 1080pĀ resolutions with 60 frames per second gameplay. In addition to the performanceĀ buffs, each of the game's DLC packs will be packaged in as well. That includes the challenge rooms fromĀ the first game,Ā The Protector Trials and the awesomeĀ Minerva's DenĀ fromĀ BioShock 2, andĀ Infinite'sĀ wave-based fighterĀ Clash In The Clouds and the two partĀ Burial At Sea story expansion. That's a ton of great content in addition to one of the greatest first person shooters of all time. If you were a fan ofĀ BioShockĀ 2's multiplayer you'll be disappointed to see its absence from the collection.

The originalĀ BioShock is one of the greatest games ever released and you can see its impact all over games since its original 2007 release. If you like horror, great combat and story, and are able to play Mature rated games then you have to make sure you pick it up. Irrational Games was the development team behindĀ BioShockĀ andĀ BioShock: InfiniteĀ while 2K Marin took over for the sequel. While Irrational Games shut down followingĀ Infinite's release, the rumor is that 2K Marin will return to the franchise with the next game. While nothing has been officially announced, remasters often suggest that news is on its way about a new entry in a franchise.
BioShock: The CollectionĀ will release on September 13, 2016. With its announcement it's already become one of my most anticipated games of the year. The only thing that could make this release any better would be VR .Ā
