The original BioShock was released seven years ago. That's an astonishing statistic that makes us feel old, but Rapture still holds up well regardless. However, what if the game was re-mastered using the additional grunt of the PlayStation 4? We certainly wouldn't mind re-visiting its underwater, dystopian society, and one YouTube user has offered a glimpse of what it could look like on Sony's next-gen machine.
The user – dubbed noodlespagoodle – posted the video embedded below, which showcases a multitude of converted BioShock assets running on the Unreal Engine 4. In addition to a substantial visual boost, the footage displays new water and lighting effects, lens flare, and a reflective sheen added to certain objects. The first part of the clip consists of a smooth demonstration of the entire environment, but at the 1:16 mark, we're offered a first-person view of what this refresh would look like to play.
What do you think of this visual upgrade? Did noodlespagoodle do an excellent job of rendering Ken Levine's classic in Epic Games' upgraded engine? Would you consider purchasing a remake of one of the most critically acclaimed games of the past decade? Swim to the comments section to let us know.

HD Remakes are fine in my opinion as long as the profits go towards jobs and new development. I've upgraded films from DVD to bluray, and enjoy the better picture on some or them. I have a mid range pc and last gens consoles. Would love to experience the full 1080p, highest quality spec at 60fps with all new and older titles.
No please no bioshock remake, I hate #1 and #2.
Never played infinite though, can't imagine it would be any different.
@bbq_boy This.
Yea please do it's one game I never got round to playing yay!!
@THEundying27 rofl I thought I was alone
@charlesnarles I've owned both of them and I just couldn't get into either of them.
The original is the best single player FPS of this generation. I would purchase this upgrade, but it'll never happen. Levine shut down Irrational games.
