ah yes i remember that from the original now and i can see it in the remaster. i have a rubbish mouse so having the sensitivity on 2 is ok for me. i'm not using vsync either. the acceleration is on the controller too which is a bit annoying. it always was no i think about it. if you have a controller plugged in 24/7 just turn it off in the menu. that works for me.

Mine are in the correct order now that they're installed.

In BS1 yes, in BS2 I'm not so sure, need to look at comparisons.

Took some quick native 4K screens from the start of the first game:
Yes
Yes. The two are now bundled together. This is true of the original game and Minerva's Den, as well. It's also in stark contrast to PSN and XBL, where you have to buy the Collection at $60 or nothing at all.
Bio2 also has adjusted assets (you can view the full-res screenshots by removing "-650-80" from the image URL).

is this how it looked before? or did it look better than this?

This might possibly be the nostalgia talking but I remember them looking a lot better than that.is this how it looked before? or did it look better than this?
EDIT: Though some places in the game really don't do it justice IMO.
Just "Yes". The price hasn't changed and both versions are included.

Is that from the original or the remaster. Even my screenshot of this on page 2 looks different.

same
i think that's a console screenshot tho and iirc the original bioshock on pc had an extra water setting in dx10?Awesome! Was going to buy on Xbox One but I already own Bioshock 1 on PC so figured I'd just buy 2 and Infinite and go be good to go.
So both version are on sale for 1/2 price bundled then? 😏

I believe that's from the original. Found the exact screenshot when I did a google search.
The water effects do look slightly better in DX10 and the shadows were also sharper. The differences were a bit subtle though, and an "untrained eye" would have difficulty noticing a difference.same
EDIT: Here's a site with comparisons between DX9 and DX10.

man playing bioshock 2 i realized how much graphics have progressed especially with lighting models.
Yeah I had the same with 3440x1440. You have to create a new res in the ini files.
Under users, app data, roaming, BioshockHD you need to add under input on user.ini setres 2560x1080 on one of the blank input keys.
I.e. F10=setres 2560x1080
Then once in game, not on the menus press F10 or whatever key you did it for and the resolution will change.
This works for both games. If you want you can do it for the FoV as well. Put setFov 90 and press in game and it'll change.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
What a pleasant surprise these remasters are. I had no clue they were coming out until yesterday, and how sweet of the developers to offer them as a free upgrade to those who already own the originals.
BioShock is one of my top ten favorite games of all time. I beat it four times on the 360 and it's influenced my life in a number of ways. It's actually the game that got me really into jazz and for that I will ever be thankful. To experience it again on PC at increased visual and performance fidelity is just such a treat.
The game continues to look beautiful even today. It is absolutely timeless, in my opinion.
My biggest pet peeve, however, is the mouse sensitivity. 1 is way too slow and 2 is a bit too fast. There's no middle-ground, it seems. Anyone having trouble adjusting?

I was checking my library via the Steam App on my phone, but I'll try that when I get home.
yeah me. i ended up switching to controller. i remember having the same issue with the original.
Seriously? They couldn't at least keep the good water in the PC version? I am seriously considering not even downloading this even though its free.
that's just ridiculous.

No they're right, it's obnoxious.
Downscaled from 5120x3200 to native.
That is fucking beautiful
Downsampling ftw
Btw how do you get resolutions that high? Do you create custom resolutions like we did before DSR?
No its not. How in a game SET UNDER WATER do you make the water actually look worse than it did on 10 year old hardware? How about actually putting some time and effort into a remaster or don't do it at all?

If I just set the resolution in game to 4k will it automatically down sample to 1080p?
Really? The hits just keep on coming. I guess I am sticking with the OG games. Now we know why they released it for free.

Would like to get confirmation of this. I remember the opening with the sound from the splicers scaring the shit out of me first time I played this game
Why would you RMA a card when it's only having issues with what seems to be a cheap-ish remaster?

it crashed hardcore on me 3 times in about 40 minutes of play. one time it even took steam down with it. seems like a real solid release so far.
that said, I'm not sure how much I care about replaying the whole game right now, so
still, you'd think if there would be one game that could launch without issues...

That's just DSR 4x on top of my native 2560x1600.
BS1 seems to be pretty heavy on the GPU for some mysterious reason, leading to both dips below 60 with DSR 4x for me and my card going supersonic in both temperatures and loudness. Those of you who have crashes might wanna check if they'll go away without OC or with a frame lock / vsync.

You're sending it back because of 1 game?
Same issue, GTX1080FTW. It crashes my whole computer though, FFXIII did the same recently. Only games I'm aware that cause this
