Danny writes "Gaming is becoming more and more advanced as the years go on. The introduction of VR technology and the way AR is breaking new ground just goes to show what we as gamers are starting to expect from our games. Games look more lifelike than ever before and challenge us in ways we have never even dreamt about. So it begs the question why developers are so strung up on giving us “HD remasters” of past titles. And why do we lap them up so much?"

Well, should you be looking to do just that, or just have a little pocket money leftover, then you could do worse than check out the latest discounted titles available via the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 29th May - 4th June 2018. There are a ton to at the very least consider."
Regardless of how old games may be, secret easter eggs can always show up that nobody has managed to discover over the years. The latest easter egg comes from Bioshock that was revealed in a very different kind of way.
BioShock needs to continue but it needs to not lose the heart of the original.
Infinite turned into an extremely linear shoot em up and it took away from the spirit of this universe
I thought Infinite had a very good story, and was well thought out. However, I do feel that it was less personal than the first two. The first two set it up so the player had to consider what was going on, whereas infinite was much more narrative and told you what you should think. I like how they had the perspective change between one and two. Going from a regular person thrown into the unkown, to playing the other side which was the threat from the first game was a nice change of pace IMO. I actually felt the 2nd game had a lot more emotion to the story.
The first two weren’t linear? Infinite was my favorite after the first bioshock of course
I was a big fan of Bioshock infinite and the Bioshock series until...Ken Levine decide to create such a ridiculous ending to Burial at Sea 2 that was so implausible and nonsensicial that I will never recommend that entire series to anyone. It's like Levine's ego got in the way and he wanted to torpedo the Lore with that absurd "plot twist."
Thank you. Prey is criminally underrated, the perfect mash up between Bioshock, and Dead Space.
Hopefully 2K’s announced game is a new Bioshock game. Plus, Ken Levine is still working on his new game at his new studio, Ghost Story.
if theres a new bioshock i wish it to go back to the bioshock 1 style of survival horror ish gameplay. Infinite wasnt scary in the slightest and that was a huge part of the original.
Well they announced back in 2013 that 2K Marin would be taking over the franchise and developing a new game.
Screen Critics Jason takes a look at the video game decisions that made him think hard. What in-game choices made you think?
I really enjoyed Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt! I really felt the choices I made mattered and after putting in over a hundred hours in the main game I'm now going through Hearts of Stone. I also went with Triss!
Bioshock, playing with such care to murder little sisters followed by saving the little brats on the 2nd play......haven’t revisited infinite a second time
Are articles about the worth of remasters really worth it?
I find I wont give them a look unless i missed it first time around then depending on price could be worth it.
Depends on what games they are, wether you've already played them and how much effort was put into the remaster.
If they aren't remasters by Capcom then, they could be worth it. Seeing as a few titles that have been remastered I've not tried nor have the last gen to play em.
But honestly, I don't rush out to by a remastered game. Think the few I need to play still I've not picked up.
I find that I like to buy remasters for games I consider myself to be a big fan of. I imported Dead Rising 1 and 2 on PS4 for their physical edition because I am a huge fan of the series- despite the relative lack of effort done to them. I don't regret it because I love the opportunity to play them again on a newer console and add them to my current collection, the worth of HD Remasters completely relies on your own perception of the game and whether you deem it to be worth it or not.
