'Bioshock 2 Remastered' Launches on macOS

[MacRumors]

Feral Interactive has today announced that a remastered edition of classic first-person shooter game "BioShock 2" is now available for macOS.

BioShock 2 is the second game in the cult-classic first-person shooter series. Mac gamers can now return to the fallen city of Rapture to rescue Little Sister Eleanor from its sinister inhabitants. Players can now appreciate the gleaming art-deco architecture of the underwater metropolis better than ever with all-new high-resolution textures and models.

Play as a fearsome Big Daddy and rescue your Little Sister, Eleanor, from the clutches of the frenzied Rapture Family, a collectivist cult conspiring to transform her into a genetically modified messiah. Wield gene-altering Plasmids against vicious Splicers and violently protective Big Sisters as you navigate Rapture’s dripping art-deco halls.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the original Bioshock in 2017, Feral Interactive released "BioShock Remastered" for macOS. The release of BioShock 2 Remastered also comes ten years after the release of the original BioShock 2 in 2010.

The studio is also responsible for publishing some of the most popular AAA games on the Mac App store, such as "Shadow of the Tomb Raider," "Alien: Isolation - The Collection," "Life is Strange 2," "Total War: Warhammer II," and more.

BioShock 2 Remastered is available now from the Mac App Store or the Feral Store for $19.99, with the "Minerva's Den Remastered" DLC also available for $9.99.

Awesome. This is great news!

Feral out here doin' God's work. I have terribly fond memories of playing Bioshock and Bioshock 2. Infinite, not so much.

On PC and XBox, you received the remastered collection of Bioshock 1, 2 and Infinite for free, four years ago.

Feral rocks! Touch Bar support for plasmid?

But if you don't have a PC or XBox the fact that the games are on those platforms is pretty meaningless dontcha think?

 

[smallcoffee]

Cool, but.... isn't this game like 10 years old?

 

[nvmls]

Amazing game but old as hell.

 

[mailman199]

Would be nice to get some current games

And, in less than a month, Apple Silicon!

Wait, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a game Apple showed off at WWDC, right?

 

[69Mustang]

Hence the remastered version. Updated graphics should make a great game look and play even better. There are probably a ton of people who never got to play the original. There's probably a lot of people who'd like to revisit the title and use their macs... not exactly a viable option at original release.

No, I don’t think so. But lack of gaming is one reason why I don’t own a Mac anymore.

Feral is among the few big studio developers that develop for MacOS.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Yeah, they released BioShock on the 10th anniversary, too.

If you don't have a Mac, why are you wasting time writing "I hate Mac" comments in a Mac Forum?

 

[ilikewhey]

being a mac gamer must take alot of restrains, meanwhile i'm waiting for cyberpunk 2077 on pc 😂

 

[Kendo]

How would this run on a 2019 13" MacBook Pro? I realize the MBP isn't a gaming machine but the game is 10 years old (even though it still looks phenomenal).

 

[Plutonius]

I'm surprised that the article didn't mention that the game was also on Steam.

 

[Kar98]

To keep up with industry news, if that's OK with you? And where did I post "I hate Mac"?

Yup same here, but still keeping my macs for work. Got real lucky with scoring a 3090FE from BB a few weeks ago. Almost tempted to scalp, but decided to keep....

Fun, but old games, highly doubt we'll ever see the latest AAA games for MacOS anytime soon. I'm pretty sure my MBP16 will play Bioshock2 remastered faster and smoother in bootcamp...

 

[chiguimania]

Exactly. Everyone knows gaming on Mac sucks, if your main purpose of using your computer is gaming, why would you use a computer that doesn't serve its purpose as you want it to? That doesn't mean Mac is bad at all, and people who blindly defend Apple at all costs will attack you, even if you haven't said anything bad about Apple

 

[RedDeliciousPinkLady]

Also, if you already owned BioShock 1 and 2 on Steam they automatically give you the remastered versions for free, so this is rad. Installing now.

I’m waiting for partner 3070 or 3080 to get a little bit discounted, I’m only waiting for cyberpunk so don’t mind the wait

What point are you trying to make? It was done first elsewhere. So? If someone doesn't have a PC it would make little difference.
