BioShock
BioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you.
• Museum of Orphaned Concepts
• Challenge Rooms

BioShock 2
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and their own survival.
• Minerva’s Den
• Protector Trials

BioShock Infinite
Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt. The year is 1912. Deep in debt, Booker DeWitt has only one opportunity for a clean slate: rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood in the flying city of Columbia.
• Clash in the Clouds
• Burial at Sea 1&2
• Columbia’s Finest Pack

Features

• Remastered in 1080p.
• BioShock main game and all single player DLC.
• BioShock 2 main game and all single player DLC.
• BioShock Infinite main game and all single player DLC.
• Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock, featuring Ken Levine and Shawn Robertson

Just found out about this, comes out in September, can't wait, loved Bioshock :cool:

EDIT:

Done some more digging, and if you own them already on Steam, you can upgrade for Free. :D

And if you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, and/or Minerva’s Den on Steam, you will be able to upgrade to the remastered version of the respective title(s) for free after release. It’s a circus of values!

I got the first one when it was first released, but didn't complete it, bought it again, along with the the others in a Steam sale not long back, when they were only about a couple or so quid each, to go through, but may as well wait till they've been upgraded. :p

Just fired up the first one, runs and looks great, got no graphical options though, like the original had, just got Res, FOV, Sync, and Anisotropic Filtering, normal ?
 
Yeah locked 140fps here @1440p :D

Was tearing like a bugger, well over 144fps :D

Mouse doesn't seem too bad to me, wonder if its got something to do with FreeSync ?, as some are saying with the v-sync on instead of off in-game, its not too bad, but ive got the in-game v-sync off, as using FreeSync.

Ha, getting weird visual artifacting now Inc transparent and flickering textures.

Disabled SLI (not really required) and that sorted it

I got that on a single card after id fired it up after the patch (have Xfire disabled), i just quit and re-loaded, also when id first fired it up after patching, it came up about wanting settings back to default or something. :p

Various bugs causing crashing
Renamed EXEs to load correct optimizations for 3rd party applications, libraries, and drivers.
Please Note: Due to this change, If you try to launch the title and get a “Missing executable” error, please restart Steam.
 
Finished both of these off now, and what a cracking set of games they were, thoroughly enjoyed em.

Going to start the DLCs now, but looks like i'll have to buy the Remastered version of Minervas Den, as i didn't have that with the original, so didn't get the Remaster of it for free, only got the original :p, and then its onto Infinite! :D

EDIT: Seems i havn't even got the original Minervas Den, as doesn't do anything when i select it to play, only the Protector Trials does :p
