BioShock
The video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” featuring Ken Levine, creative director on BioShock and BioShock Infinite and Shawn Robertson, animation lead on BioShock and animation director on BioShock Infinite.
Museum of Orphaned Concepts: Walk through a Rapture-inspired virtual museum that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at discarded concepts that never made it into the original game.
Challenge Rooms: Outside the story of BioShock, tackle puzzles, splicers and Big Daddies. And achievements, of course.
BioShock 2 (**Multiplayer will not be included)
Minerva’s Den: A self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you've never seen before. Use expanded combat abilities with the experimental Ion Laser and chaotic Gravity Well Plasmid, unique to Minerva's Den, as you face off against the Lancer Big Daddy.
Protector Trials: Take control of an Alpha Series Big Daddy woken out of hibernation just before the events of BioShock 2.
BioShock Infinite
Burial at Sea - Episode 1 & 2 Add-On Packs: This major two-part DLC pack completes the BioShock trilogy by taking the series back to where it all began. Return to Rapture just before the events of the original BioShock!
Clash in the Clouds Add-On Pack: Face 60 waves of challenges across four additional maps for leaderboard glory and unlock areas to explore in The Columbian Archaeological Society hub museum.
Columbia's Finest Pack: Combines the contents of the Industrial Revolution Pack and the Upgrade Pack and includes 500 Silver Eagles, five Lock Picks, six unique Gear items, and two weapon upgrades: Comstock’s China Broom Shotgun and Comstock’s Eagle Eye Sniper Rifle.

Have they sorted the launch issues? Seemed pretty big at the time, but this is a well established company and a high profile remaster so hopefully they have :stuck_out_tongue:

Are 1 & 2 any good? Found Infinite a bit of disappointment.

1 & 2 follow a different path to infinite (infinite's in the sky whereas 1 & 2 are under the sea :smile:) I would recommend them, yeah :smiley:

1 is the best imo. Great atmosphere and storyline.
Think of them like Die Hard - the first one was smaller in scale but easily the best film. Two was the disappointing sequel, and three is decent enough but tries too hard to replace decent atmosphere and pacing with shouting and explosions.

Yeah I really like 1 & 2. I thought Infinite was utterly terrible.

Hahaha this is so true! Except 2 is still decent. 3 has a great story behind it as well but it doesn't unfold until the end.
