Df is so great. This is the kind of info I want to know when making an educated purchase on a port.

i'm really surprised they went with the remastered version as a base. and it seems like the performance still holds up very well

Impressed with this port, interested to see if you guys will cover the Borderlands ports also

Still waiting for that Bioshock Vita.

I'll definitely be picking this. Portable Bioshock, yes please! I'd love to see the Return to Arkham collection on Switch too. Make it happen Rocksteady, please! 🙏

These ports are actually kind of incredible. If the Switch was a home-console exclusively I feel like it wouldn't be as impressive but the fact that these games can be played so well on a glorified handheld is nuts. Would have bought the collection day one if the games were on the cart, but personally I'm just going to wait for a deep sale to justify rebuying these games for the fourth time lol

"it's a lot to cover in one go" I feel your pain brother!

The Bioshock Collection on Switch is perfect for me, they run amazing. Playing Bioshock handheld is unreal.

Now I know its a decent port, I might actually need to pick this up and replay it

Bio shock is beyond my favorite series. Happy to see these master pieces on hand held.

Nice to see a proper optimized remaster for switch, thanks bioshock

I'm halfway through actually playing the collection myself, and I was still excited for this video...

ahh yes my favorite action game the DF comments section

Well researched, informative and entertaining. Every video from you guys is a treat.

This genuinely looks amazing on the OLED model in handheld. That OLED brings the Darkness of Rapture and the Colors of Columbia out beautifully and it's really impressive looking for this small handheld. And in handheld for whatever reason even the 30fps doesn't bother. The smaller screen and good motion blur hides it in a way and in the end these 3 games end up one of the best looking Switch titles period. Amazing porting effort 👌 😊

When ps5 and xbox sx are out, Im going to be glued to you guys xD

Played through all 3 games last week again..they're just amazing! I'm really in LOVE with those ports! Graphics are amazing!

Excellent, I was eagerly awaiting for this video. All three games surpassed my expectations and it’s always a joy to revisit Bioshock 1.

I was so impressed by this game on the switch! I was expecting really bad performance on it but holy crap it stayed solid through out the game

I was waiting for this one. Never played but will buy this collection. Thanks for the upload DF.

If someone told me, “You’ll be able to play this handheld one day”, when I was playing on the 360, I would never have believed it. Yet, here we are. I have this on XBOX Series, but will get it on switch. It’s worth having twice. Well, thrice.

That initial 0:16 intro... will never forget how immersive it felt.

I’m definitely buying the pack on the switch. Can’t wait to replay all three.

It's awesome to revisit childhood games like this and borderlands again. The combat in Infinite is the best imo. That rail system makes for some awesome immersive moments.

I like when Tom is around in these videos.

Great job as always Tom.

DF is amazing, thank you guys!

Hey DF could you try Switch overclocking for Hyrule Warriors in portable mode? Koei Tecmo never fixed the bug where it runs 1080p in portable and thus kills performance

God, rewatching this 2 years later it just blows me away how much people would have given to have a portable version of these games on their respective 360/PS3 launch days.

Currently bought the Collection and must say it's damm big and works really good

Looks surprisingly well ported! Hope you do the borderlands collection next, been waiting to play them (despite having them all on PC already)

I was waiting for this, thank you! I always watch your videos before I buy a third party game. I’ve been waiting to revisit bioshock on switch ever since it was rumored.

improved foliage? this is a Must Buy!

Damn, it might be time for a BioShock trilogy playthrough. I have them all on PC, but being able to play while sitting in bed is a tempting notion

This is the video i was waiting for

Impressive visuals and performance on the switch. Thanks for the upload.

The port is great, can't wait to revisit rapture and Columbia wherever I go. Also, will you cover the xcom and borderlands ports?

Would've like to see how the Bioshock 1 port compares to the Nvidia shield handheld from years ago. If I'm remembering right the switch was going to have a more powerful chipset than that machine but final production model had the same tegra chip. Would love to see what improvements the switch version pulls off. Also, checking the early sections of these games doesn't really tell the full performance story. In particular, I remember the last few combat sections of Infinite going to straight garbage framerates back on ps3, would be curious if that's all fixed on the remaster versions. Obviously don't need to show those sections for spoilers but would be nice to know about the more taxing parts of the game

PS360 era ports of high-quality games that have never made it to handhelds (and never been available to Nintendo console owners) are one of the areas where Switch really shines. Switch is really able to sell these experiences convincingly in a handheld setting. I really don't understand why GTA V (the last-gen version) hasn't made its way across, it seems like the perfect candidate in this category.

Glad they mentioned the physics fps fix mod.

Playing through the first one and I'm thoroughly impressed by the port!

Very little discussion of portable play - what is the average resolution of the dynamic 720p?

Are we getting borderlands soon?

I just finished Bioshock 1 on my switch rn! It was so much fun! The only complaints I had were with some audio issues, like with switching between guns and looping sounds

Got the collection for 6 bucks on the E-Shop and looking forward to seeing how it looks on my OLED. Hoping the performance is great and the ocean will hopefully look even more beautiful with the OLED

What were your thoughts of the Switch version of Trial of Mana?

I was waiting for this vid :)))

I'm so happy three of my favorite games of all time got a pretty amazing Switch port with excellent frame rate and basically no frame drops. I just wish they had included motion aiming

Why do consoles always have a problem adopting AFx16, when on PC it almost doesn't consume any resources in comparison with other effects?

Shame about the physical release but it's good to know this is solid in case the digital comes on sale

Great stuff as always, it would be awesome if you can do Borderlands Switch collection aswell!

All these games run awesome on the switch.

What version/port available would you recommend to someone with a switch and pc? I’ve read about a lot of problems with what I’ve seen available on Steam. Thanks

These games look amazing on the switch itself. These videos don't do it justice.

I'm in love with my portable BioShock

Would really love them to drop and MGS collection, 1-4

I think 30 FPS is an unnoticeable drop in quality for a game on switch that plays on a projector like a high quality game. Good job bioshock I enjoyed your games so so much!

Bought this and Borderlands, extremly pleased with both :)

Switch related content is the only thing that makes pirn analysis interesting

Man, I miss Bioshock. I really wish there was a new one coming

im gonna buy a game this month but i dont know if buy Bioshock the collection (i never played none of them yet), Wolfenstein 2 or the outer worlds (i have see a lot of reviews of this game and all say that it dont got the better quality yet and allbody are waiting for a new patch). Do you think Bioshock the collection is worth it? or maybe i shoud buy wolfenstein 2?

Anybody else have audio problems with Bioshock 2? Form me Bioshock 2 on switch is riddled with audio issues I'm so sad they didn't cover it! I was really hoping for a patch but nobody has pointed it out.

I bought this collection on a whim for my switch because I wanted to get it on my Xbox but I also wanted to play while traveling and going to work so I settled for handheld option. I haven’t played it undocked yet because I was blown away by the graphical fidelity docked mode has. Any untrained eye could see some downfalls in texture resolution and frame rate dips but to be able to go from playing on my tv to traveling with it , there’s no match. I’m really pleased with my purchase.

I think it has a better comparison to 360 or PS3. Is it possible for a video on this? Great video!

Wish it was 60 fps, but still it is really nice to see the remastered games running

Tom, you are my hero. While others make videos about PCs of 2005 and games they have weird obsessions in for a very long time (Crysis!), you make the basic work at DF with your classic game analyses. This is why most people came to DF and love it so much. Thank you!

But what about on Switch Lite? Does not docking make it better or worse for me?

I like how Tom is very softly spoken and positive.

So, did they fix the audio in the remaster?

I think the 07:22 mark your showing off the xbox X version but the screen says xbox 360.

Anyone else prefers solo vidoes rather these ones where it just feels like watching a conversation rather than a simple analysis video?

People have found the Switch can be modded to unlock the frame rate with many games ported from PC or other consoles. Most of the settings are modified for stable performance and avoiding over heating of the system. Can you run 60fps? Yes with modding but only if you can chuck in some extra fans lol

I just got BSI since I never got the Buried at Sea DLC, I am very impressed how well the port runs and looks considering these were the same guys that ported Outer Worlds (Virtuos), maybe due to the lower technical constraints on these older titles. I do have all 3 originals/remasters on PC as well. :)) Glad to have BS on the go!!

At 7:34 you can see the bridge popping in on the Switch

07:34 notice how the bridge is loaded :-o

I hope this means there will be a bioshock reboot with bigger dense areas like skyscrapers

Cross save functionality would be pretty cool

Incredible analysis, besides, talking about Switch I'm only interested in the portable analysis, I barely use my Switch docked

I remember trying to play Bioshock Infinite on my i3 3rd gen with Intel HD 3000 graphics. I can't remember specific frame rates but it became unplayable due to loading times. It had a hard drive, but I'm sure it was the CPU that was the bottle neck in that regard. I'm sure the GPU kept me at in the low 20's fps wise, but back then that didn't bother me much. Its weird to think about, but now that 30 fps looks absolutely horrible to me having had a decent PC for years. I can't help but remember those days with that laptop though, and think about how hard I tried to play infinite with a terrible frame rate and loading times, while the switch does it better. Had the Switch existed when I was in highschool, It would have absolutely blown my mind. To be completely honest, it still actually does.

Huh, so it looks like they’ll never fix the crashing problem on the PC remasters.

it's sick you can play game like this on a mobile device

Can you do Oceanhorn 2?

Missing surround sounds on Bioshock 1 and 2

Looks great on Switch considering the power!

Finished the first Bioshock on Switch just a few days ago, and it really is a masterpiece. The port (as the DF analysis shows) is quite good, although: the game froze on me two times during the entire gameplay (loosing a fair bit of progress), the audio quality is far from perfect (with the ending credits being especially bad) and there are some low-res textures here and there. The biggest bummer though? The persistent error message (“failed to connect to 2K servers”) that keeps showing after waking up the game from hibernation.

Please add gyro-aiming as part of an update!

I'm impressed.

"It just works" - Todd Howard

I bought Assassin’s Creed Rebel collection and Mortal Kombat 11 and was pretty disappointed. Does this game look the same?

can someone tell me the opening song?

7:04 The Switch seems to have more seagrass and stuff.

I picked these up and am happy but damn the fact the ports are so good makes the lack of a true physical copy really awful.

Man I'm glad these games are coming to switch. Not a huge fan of the classic nintendo IP games, being able to play black flag and witcher 3 on the go is awesome. Dont even have my switch dock connected to the tv, just have it next to the bed for charging lol, have the other consoles and a pc for big screen stuff.

It seems like if a game runs at 60 on PS4/Xbone then a 30fps port to switch is no issue.

I’ve owned a gtx 970 and a Radeon hd 7850. The 7850 is basically equivalent to what you see on Xbox one and ps4. I got over 60fps all the time in bioshock infinite maxed out 1080p. I think it was on the 7850. How could an optimized console drop any frames lower than 60fps. Unless this remaster is putting the details higher than the original pc release

This is going to look absolutely amazing on Switch Lite.

Any more releases of this game and Mario will get jealous 😁

Oh I played this great PC

Port incrível!

I love how they came out with a Pro/Series X patch when only 2 months ago I got a platinum in number two. 😂 Ah well at least I wasn’t missing much there. But as regards this port for the switch it will be cool to play the games on the go. Also who can’t wait for the next Bioshock? In the words of Spongebob, “I need it”.
