‘BioShock: The Collection’ Sure Looks Pretty

Published

on

Welcome back to Rapture, folks. Now would you kindly watch this new footage? It mostly focuses on the first entry in the acclaimed trilogy that 2K has remastered in next month’s BioShock: The Collection, which features enhanced versions of BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite, though Infinite will likely be comparable to the PC version that’s currently available.

Each game and all previously released single-player DLC have been optimized to run at “up to” 60 fps with support for 1080p HD. The multiplayer mode that was introduced in the second game will not return, but the bundle does come with the commentary featurette Imagining BioShock, starring director Ken Levine and lead artist Shawn Roberston. You might call this a circus of value.

The collection is headed to PC, PS4 and Xbox One on September 13 in North America, September 15 in Australia, and September 16 everywhere else. It’ll cost $60, unless you already own the first two games and/or the Minerva’s Den DLC on Steam, then you can upgrade to the remastered versions free-of-charge.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
