It’s been a number of years since the original BioShock came out, seven years in fact. Now while it still looks great in terms of art direction, it’s starting to look a little rough around the edges in a technical sense these days. That old Unreal Engine 2.5 really isn’t much of a powerhouse when compared to today’s iterations.
Well a Youtuber by the name of noodlespagoodle decided to put several assets from BioShock into Unreal Engine 4.
I’ve been itching to play with UE4… So I decided to gather up some of the original Bioshock assets and see how they’d look in a next gen engine!
As you can see from the video below, the small demo they’ve created is nothing short of beautiful. Really makes you wish the whole game could be played in UE4, alas that’s quite the pipe dream.
