Key points

Remastered version of BioShock. Released as part of BioShock: The Collection (cover pictured), which also includes BioShock 2 Remastered.
A 1GB patch was released which fixed many issues.
Free to owners of BioShock on Steam.[1] Purchasing this version likewise gives a free Steam copy of the original.
Bink cutscenes have been reworked.
The way the subtitles were handled has been redone. The font size has been cranked up on high resolution monitors and the bug where they would disappear every time after the first paragraph has been fixed.
The overall sound quality has been downgraded due to poor mixing, the abandon of EAX support, as well as heavier compression.
The wet glowing effect on textures has been removed entirely due to artistic choice.
Some lightning effects are rendered incorrectly like the flames light passing through the water in the first scene.
