I was planning on buying this on the PS4 but glad I waited. Far cheaper through this bundle and will wait to download the remastered versions tomorrow.

do you have to install the games to get the remastered versions or can you just leave them in your steam library ?

I'm almost certain that it's the latter, as with the updated version of Titan Quest, for example.

If previously downloaded into your Library, Steam will update all the necessary HD files on your computer before running. So, if Bioshock 1 and 2 (+ Minerva's Den) are not already set to automatically update, when you press play all new files will be downloaded first.

You just need to have them in your library. The remastered versions will be added as separate listings in your library.
That's incorrect - according to the official details the remastered versions will be separate items in your Steam library - so you'll own 'BioShock' and 'BioShock Remastered' and be able to install/play one without the other. It's not an update/patch; it's a whole new game that you get for free if you own the original.
I don't think it will work like that. If it was just an HD texture pack it would probably get added to the game as free DLC rather than a whole separate library listing (like Skyrim and others). But I think what they've done is ported it to a later version of the Unreal Engine (possibly UE3, as used in Infinite, which would explain why that isn't getting a PC remaster), so most files will be different. Would be cool if it worked like that - so the remastered version would download all files except the old textures - but I haven't seen that happen before. Guess we'll find out at midnight!
I had the same problem when I first saw the trailer. I thought I was just remembering the original as looking better than it was but a) the original still looks great, really holds up, and b) comparison videos haven't convinced me there's much difference. Still, the remasters are free and it will be a great excuse to replay them!

random note, the remasters are useless, even more so on PC. Their improvements are practically non existent :disappointed:

I was struggling to see any real differences in the video showcase they uploaded not long ago.
This gen will be remembered as the remaster generation.
Bioshock gets a remaster but Mass Effect doesn't. The mind boggles.
I own BioShock on PC. How do I get the remastered version?
BIOSHOCK ON STEAM: If you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, or Minerva’s Den on Steam, the remastered version for the corresponding title will automatically show up in your Steam library as a separate game. You can expect to see the remastered titles begin rolling out in Steam libraries starting at 3pm PT on September 15, 2016 (find out what time that is in your timezone). Once it shows up, you can choose to install the original version or the remastered version.

Good deal I thought in any case.
