‘BioShock: The Collection’ Trailer: The Utopian Remastering of the Dystopias

‘BioShock: The Collection’ Rated In Brazil; Can I Just Buy The First?

BioShock.

BioShock is getting a collection, according to the Brazilian advisory board. 1) Can I just bought the original game in HD? No, that isn’t a “collection” — oh, okay. 2) When the fuck are we getting an HD Mass Effect collection? Christ.

Leaked: ‘BioShock’ Collection for PS4 and Xbox One

BioShock Infinite

Maybe. This is a definite *maybe* not a certain *true*, but it looks like BioShock may be getting a next-gen collection. Which I will buy. For BioShock only. That’s enough for me to enjoy. The other two can pound-sand-and-eat-grass.

New Bioshock 2 Trailer Will Induce Rapturous Orgasms

bioshock3

Ah, Bioshock 2. I’m torn on the game. On one hand, I don’t think the original needs a sequel. It’s brilliant. I’d even call it a work of art, if I felt like defending my opinion. But I don’t, so there. You can have your four-thousand word essays debating games as art.

So anything that tries to add upon the original gets an initial “Why bother?” I mean, it was about as stand-alone as you can get in a game. The response to the “Why bother?” is pretty simple.

  1. It’s going to make money. Lots, and lots of money.
  2. Fanboys like myself will go bananas getting a shot to delve once again in Rapture.

Artistic integrity (which, may or may not even exist, that’s another four-thousand word essay) versus fan service and capitalism! Fight! No seriously, don’t, I can’t care what you have to say. Bust out the lube and check out the new Bioshock 2 trailer after the jump.
