No gyro seemingly (in the whole collection?)
Looks perfectly fine. I think Virtuos did all three Bioshock ports on Switch IIRC? Thoughts?

I remember the intro to BioShock blowing my mind when I was 15. If I could show my past self that same game running perfectly fine on a handheld, he'd probably have a seizure.
Looks good. The only thing keeping me from buying it right now are those mandatory 30+ GB you gotta download before playing.
It had better look and run well. It's a 360 game, the Switch should be able to chew this up for breakfast.
Right, although I guess to be fair to 2k, this wouldn't even fit on a 32GB cart anyway. Since it's a 16GB cart + 31GB additional download. A 64GB cart release would have been nice but that's a pipe dream since nobody has ever used one.
9/10
btw I know it is a PS360 game, but looking it running on Switch is still fascinating
the atmospehere of this game..!
This was the first game I ever bought on Steam (I created my Steam account just for the game when it first came out) and was one of the reasons I built my computer at that time. Still, I was never able to get into the game for some reason and never finished it. If this port turns out, I may actually get a chance to finally finish it.
Its so unfortunate that this is a port of the collection, because it's missing so many visual features from the original
Like specular maps, right there at the floor of the lighthouse.
That's why it looks dry, and not wet like it's suposed to. In an underwater game, it's a pretty big deal.
And the sound was capped, being way worse than the original. Not to mention the bugs.
But it's not on Virtuos, it's on Blind Squirrel, the Collection developer.
Virtuos job with this port looks really good so far
I'm curious about Infinity, because thats the one that Blind Squirrel left pretty much untouched from the original, making it the best of the bunch in the Collection
But it runs with a variable framerate on consoles, so I'm curious if they are locking ti to 30 on Switch. It would be an improvement.

the most important of all question. drives me mad that there's no footage from the options menu!
serious question? it clearly won't be. none of these ports ever are.
I keep almost buying games on switch but then hold back because x cloud is imminent. X cloud will make mobiles AAA gaming so much cheaper. I hate the way Nintendo games stay overpriced forever.
But this. Hmmm. Bioshock still resonates with me today.

it's a ps4/x1 port of a 2007(+10/13) game. there's a difference. on top things never being that simple. consoles are not PCs.

from the eShop thread, a video of Infinite. and I found the answer to the most important question in the YT comments... might wanna add both to the OP

:/ big dislike.
Never played the original games, but I heard a lot of good things about it. Can't wait to start playing it myself this weekend.
This.
Bioshock's intro was my next-gen moment in the previous gen.
No gyro no buy, as always; even on sale. And if they implement it later, I'll still wait for a sale, as I never buy my games full price except on release.

No gyro, even when Infinite once had full pointer controls with the PlayStation Move, is pretty bogus.
If you want to tweet them to request gyro aiming they're at - ‪@virtuosgames‬
I won't be buying unless it's added.

Knew it.
They added it to Borderlands, as it makes sense for scooping up items.
Apparently scavenging through bins with accuracy doesn't have the same priority for 2K.
Edit: If it has HD Rumble, I might keep my preorder though. (So very unlikely)

The physical version comes with a 30GB+ download, apparently none of the games work without the this patch.
Too bad the uploader only figured out not to sit in front of a window on the second video lol.
Didn't realize gyro support was something expected from this game.

No gyro counts me out from this, which is a shame considering Bioshock is my favourite game of all time. Already own them all on Steam, 360, X1X & PS4, but gyro + portable would have be instant quintuple dip. Without that and that giant install size I can't bring myself to care.
(Also Infinite sux, kthxbi)

Playing and beat Infinite with the Move, shame they didn't keep it for the PS4 version.
Would have loved to have gyro controls in this version.

Good to see one of the greatest franchises of all time becoming available on more (on the go) platforms. Also, when did this gyro-movement actually start? I'm surprised by the many comments about it. I feel like I just started hearing about it a few weeks ago, although I remember Killzone 2 (or 3?) had some sort of gyro-aiming as well.
