BioShock Remastered Replastered To Fix Last DisasterOct 7, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunA patch has been released for the recent Remastered editions of BioShock and BioShock 2, hoping to fix some of the problems players have been confronting 2K about. The games came out as part of a collection, boasting about how good they looked. But they were also lacking a lot of the expected graphics options, not to mention the presence of treacly mouse controls and the absence of support for BigWide resolutions. 2K are hoping to balm those deep, deep wounds with these patches, introducing adjustable field of view, more resolutions and some other fixes. … BioShock: The Collection PC Patch NotesOct 6, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsSince the launch of BioShock: The Collection, and the remastered versions of BioShock and BioShock 2, we’ve heard from some of our PC players about issues and bugs you have encountered, as well as some additional features you’d like to see support for.

Take yer pick from enforced mouse-smoothing, no 5.1 sound, messed-up 21:9 support, limited FOV, no graphics settings outside of antialiasing, anistropic filtering, resolution, vysnc and a clutch of crashes. Many of these, though not the crashes, can be resolved via ini file editing (a guide to that is here), but in this, the third consecutive Year Of Luigi, we should not be expected to dirty our hands so. The good news is that 2K are planning to grab a five-iron and bludgeon most of the major problems into submission. The bad news is that it doesn’t look like we can expect a full settings menu any time soon. … Upcoming Updates Addressing Issues And Feature SupportSep 19, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsSince the launch of BioShock and BioShock 2 Remastered, some players have been reporting stability issues, while others have asked for additional feature support.

RPS Verdict: The BioShock TrilogySep 16, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunAlmost ten years after our first trip to Rapture, the BioShock trilogy has been re-released and (in some cases) remastered. The Collection looks lovely but it’s far from perfect. Today, we’re looking back though – a lot has happened since the first game s arrival, including the departure of director Ken Levine from the studio that made two of the three games, and a resurgence of the first-person immersive sim as a genre. Here, we consider all things Bioshock and decide, among other things, which of the games is actually the best. … Atlas Sighs: BioShock Remastered PC Is A Bit Of A MessSep 16, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunBioshock: The Collection is out today (and free to owners of the originals), which from a PC point of view is most exciting because it gives a big old spit’n’polish to the first two games in the series (Infinite is unaffected on PC, being relatively contemporaneous as it is). Unfortunately it seems that BioShock 1 Remastered particularly has not been as well-loved on PC as it perhaps should have been. It has only the barest-boned of graphical settings, it’s saddled with particularly nasty mouse-smoothing that can only be turned off via ini file hacking, and there are various minor screwy graphical boo-boos too. History is repeating itself: remember the FOV and DRM drama of 2007? Details – and some fixes – below. …
