BioShock: The Collection (Xbox One) Review

BioShock: The Collection (Xbox One) Review

, , , , , , , , , 0

In the last generation of consoles, BioShock stood out as one of the premier franchises. The new intellectual property was established in 2007 with the release of BioShock on Xbox 360 and PlayStation and eventually went on to spawn two sequels and a host of spin-offs in other mediums. Each entry in the series received widespread critical acclaim and helped bring new life to the first-person shooter genre that has become somewhat stale thanks to the huge popularity of Battlefield and Call of Duty. Little wonder then that 2K Games would look to BioShock when it came time to remaster some of their back catalogue of titles for a new generation of consoles. The franchise was simply ripe for an update, with the first release coming almost a decade ago and fans clamoring to be able to visit Rapture once again with upgraded visuals and performance. The first thing to note with this remastered collection is that it not only includes BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock: Infinite but all of

While 2K Games have yet to officially confirm the existence of a BioShock collection, rumors seem to have been given some extra credence after the Brazilian ratings board released information about a title called BioShock: The Collection. The Classificação Indicativa revealed that the title would be released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This suggests that the collection might not be a fully remastered version of the three titles but rather an upscaled edition. The BioShock series began in 2007 with the release of BioShock, and was later continued with BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite. BioShock 2 was a direct sequel to the original game but was developed by 2K Marin and 2K Australia rather than Irrational Games, who returned to the franchise with BioShock Infinity. In 2014, creator Ken Levine revealed that Irrational Games would close following the release of a final piece of downloadable content, with just a few staff moving with him to a new developer that would concentrate on smaller

The Most HYPE Moments From Summer Games Done Quick

The summer version of Games Done Quick ran nonstop through all of last week, culminating with a complete playthrough of Chrono Trigger on Sunday night. The event smashed its previous summer fundraising record of $700,000 with a sheer $1.3 million raised for this year’s charity, Doctors Without Borders. If you missed the marathon, you probably don’t have time to watch 168 hours of material (and if you do, you need to get some higher priorities in life), so as we did with Awesome Games Done Quick last January, Popgeeks will now pick the most memorable moments from the event, and link to GDQ’s YouTube account for each. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9cNthQy84g You may only be able to watch the Bioshock Infinite playthrough in short bursts; the pace at which it’s run through and torn apart is dizzying. Runner FearfulFerret takes advantage of several glitches to skip entire sequences from the game and storyline. Only one Handyman ever appears and he’s able to skip the entirety of Comstock House with one move. He also

Microsoft has revealed the games that will be made available to Xbox Live Gold members to download for free in March. The Games With Gold program for the Xbox One will make Rayman Legends available for the entire month. The platformer is the direct sequel to the highly rated Rayman Origins, which took the Rayman series back to its original roots with 2D sidescrolling action. While it was originally announced as Wii U exclusive, the game eventually released on almost every platform available in 2013 and also made its way to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014. It received widespread critical acclaim for its distinctive visuals, excellent platforming gameplay and a superb soundtrack. The usual price for Rayman Legends on Xbox Live is $39.99, making it a great deal. On the Xbox 360, the two games for Xbox Live Gold members are Tomb Raider in the first half of the month and BioShock Infinite for the second half. Tomb Raider (usually priced at $19.99) was a reboot of

Ken Levine, the founder and head of Irrational Games, released a stunning press release Tuesday, that Irrational Games will be laying off all but 15 people after the final DLC released for”Bioshock Infinite”. “Bioshock” and its sequel “Bioshock Infinite” (“Bioshock 2” was handled by a different developer) are two of the most critically acclaimed games released for the previous generation of systems (PS3, X360, Wii), making the news a bit of a shock to many in the industry, no pun intended. As Kev Levine put it, “I am winding down Irrational Games as you know it. I’ll be starting a smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor at Take-Two. That is going to mean parting ways with all but about fifteen members of the Irrational team. There’s no great way to lay people off, and our first concern is to make sure that the people who are leaving have as much support as we can give them during this transition.”  This doesn’t necessarily mean that Irrational Games is being dissolved as it has

Creative Director and co-founder of Irrational Games Ken Levine has been having conversations with religious members of the team behind Bioshock Infinite and he has found out from them that the game might have to be changed. [pullquote_left]What I said to them was, ‘I’m not going to change anything to get your approval, but I think I understand what you’re saying and I think I can do something that’s going to make the story better, based on what you said[/pullquote_left] Religion in games have always been a rather touchy issue with not many games trying to tackle the subject. Game developers do not want the ire of society should they falsely represent any religion and as such have always tread lightly around the issue. While Assassin’s Creed may have successfully used religion in it’s execution, it has a disclaimer that states that it was developed by a ‘multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs’. And who can forget the issue with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which saw the game developers take
