BioShock Remasters on PC Are Plagued with Problems

According to early Steam reviews, both remasters of the original BioShock and its sequel are ridden with issues, offering no option to tweak graphics as well as a bunch of new and old bugs.

PC master race!

Naw in all seriousness, I'm enjoying it very well on my PS4 ;)

SvenBoonen3534d ago

I'm playing it on PC and there are some technical hiccups here and there that can bother the experience... How is it on PS4?

DeadlyOreo3534d ago

Runs pretty smoothly on PS4. I had one moment where the game froze for about 20 seconds quite randomly when there was a lot going on, but otherwise it's damn good.

NohansenBoy3534d ago

I wonder how devs are allowed to release sub par games and not receive any penalty for it. I guess Arkham Knight at least got pulled and told the devs to try again. Even AAA devs are becoming worse than greenlit zero effort indie devs who never leave early access.

Hoffmann3534d ago

Plagued with problems is a damn exaggeration.

The game looks better in the new version than in the old, even if you had everything on ultra. At least in my opinion.

I did not experience any bugs so far.

SvenBoonen3534d ago

Many players, including myself, experience some major stuttering and frame drops in illogical places. There is definitely a lot that suggests remastering BioShock for PC was a rushed decision.

Hoffmann3534d ago

Guess I was lucky so far ^^

solderman3534d ago

Seems like every month a major PC title is plagued with problems.

Fishy Fingers3534d ago

Which was last months? I think both yourself and this article are exaggerating. Which is highly unlike the Internet...

DarkOcelet3534d ago

No Man Sky!

Nuff said. I have a 980Ti and i couldnt get it to be stable at 60fps no matter what i did plus stuttering etc etc etc

Hoffmann3534d ago (Edited 3534d ago )

No Man's Sky.

And from my 3 hour experience, the Bioshock remasters are not plagued at all.

The award for worst plagued game by bugs and technical problems of the month in September goes to ReCore though. That game is a mess.

MasterCornholio3534d ago

Also I read that Recore has some issues on PC as well.

SnakeEyeP9113534d ago

Tell me about it...i have 2 980 ti SC+, and the 980 ti is one hell of a card, and yet, i still cant play some recent title at
60 fps on 4k (ranges between 45 - 60 with some tweaking and slight OC) because of poor optimization...and sometimes they struggle on 1440p or 1080p for some titles...which is understandable since the card is meant for 4K, but still...better optimization is needed for PC titles cuase this is getting rediculas

Perjoss3534d ago

I could also make you a pretty hefty list of all the PC games released in a month that run with zero problems, but nobody really cares about that, everyone just loves the drama of failure right?

NohansenBoy3534d ago

I think these devs need a refresher course on game development.

Really???Locked 4k,ultra,60 fps on 1 1080,close to 6gb ram usage and 30% gpu usage.My brother 1070,at ultra at 4k has about 90-95 fps avg,69 the lowest he has seen so far.Only problem was the mouse sensitivity on both our pcs,but we fixed it.Also,extremely poor graphics options,close to darksiders.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis292d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno292d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan292d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum292d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989291d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot292d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77292d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb292d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG291d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast662d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai665d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken663d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop665d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake665d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne665d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo664d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia665d ago (Edited 665d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
