>Remastered
yes

>the good
The statue was clearly a very subpar mesh and badly textured as well, the remaster statue definitely is a big improvement
The light at the top being more dim is welcome compared to the early Unreal bloomfest.
the brass highlights at the corner are shinier, they match the lighting in the room now
>the bad
The original's specular lighting on surfaces blows the remaster out of the water
The texture on the wall in the original is far better, it seems they were trying to go more 'realistic' for the remaster but at the cost of the aesthetic.
the banner doesn't look remotely like cloth now, the texture on that original banner is amazing. And again, now it's rotting and tattered because realism, at the cost of the impact of the scene.

it's amazing how the older game still has much better lighting

why do remaster's always ruin the lighting?

because the chinks they hire to make these think slapping on a modern lighting engine is automatically better than actually thought out light placement

old game devs actually gave a shit, modern game devs are just "hurrr more polygons mean more grafix"

Bioshock has always been pretentious garbage.

imagine getting filtered by fucking bioshock

I prefer the shiny walls and ground of the original, but the rest I don't mind.

Yeah, but only because the reflections aren't there anymore, too hard to render for current gen consoles unfortunately.

NOOOOOOO NOT MY HECKIN AYN RANDINOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST CRITICIZE OBJECTIVISM!!!! WHAT ABOUT MUH SHITTY BOOKS WHERE RICH CORPORATIONS WHINE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BUILD THINGS WITH SLAVE LABOR!!!!

Console shitters version of system shock 2

System Shock 2 is not that good. It has horrible gameplay, outright bad graphics, and an average story that hits its marks well but doesn't aim particularly high in the first place.

so basically if Bioshock had an absolutely terrible UI and terrible controls and slow, clunky gameplay you'd love it?

These are the kinds of posts that remind me that anons are really fucking dumb

no but it would be even worse,
atleast system shock 2 had level design.

>it seems they were trying to go more 'realistic' for the remaster
I think the original looks more realistic with regard to bronze statuary.

there's not a single area in System Shock 2 that's even half as enjoyable as Fort Frolic

> the banner doesn't look remotely like cloth now, the texture on that original banner is amazing. And again, now it's rotting and tattered because realism, at the cost of the impact of the scene.
First point I agree, but I think its better to show the banner tattered because it exemplifies the rotten ideology that brought Rapture down as part of foreshadowing

Bioshock shows what is wrong with Randian objectivism though

The textures in the original are much better
Look at the banner, in the original you can see the cloth weave, its blurry in the second.
Look at the texture on the wall, its clearly visible in the original, but blurry in the remaster.

The statue seems to have SLIGHTLY more detail.

idk but does the game still crash every 10 minutes on PC?

>so basically if Bioshock had an absolutely terrible UI and terrible controls and slow, clunky gameplay
So Bioshock.

Good. Ayn Rand never understood Libertarianism.

It's actually great

Doesn't it crash constantly?

It's a buggy port of the original game, it gives everything a weird sheen, it doesn't do anything HD texture mods don't do for free and is about the same quality. Character models are improved, but only up to Bioshock 2 standard. Their "remastered graphics" were ~6 years out of date when the game released.

On top of that, 2 remastered didn't change the textures at all, just touched up the transparency and they removed songs because they couldn't be assed to pay the license fee.

So yes. And they knew what they were doing, because it gave it away for free to people who played the originals.
