BioShock

A rating for the BioShock Collection has popped up again and this time the BioShock Collection was spotted on the ERSB site

Looks like that rumored BioShock Collection is popping up for the fourth time now as it looks like it has been rated yet again. This time the rating was spotted over on the ERSB site and has since been removed. Most likely at the request of 2K Games as they are the listed publisher but this is the internet age and things like that don't get lost at all. It looks like it should just be time for the BioShock Collection to get the official announcement now for the PS4 and Xbox One but is going to sit in the rumor mill for just a bit longer.

As I said though, as things are on the internet things are not lost or forgotten as you can see below where the BioShock Collection is detailed further. It looks like the speculation is true on it that we will see all three BioShock titles bundled together here with all of their goodness mixed in. Well at least all of the goodness of the core titles as there is no mention of the DLC that followed some of them. It would make sense for 2K Games to give us all the DLC too given how these bundles usually go but as all of this is still not official by any means that could still be in the cards.

This is a collection of three first-person shooters in which players assume the role of characters uncovering the mysteries behind the dystopian societies of Rapture and Columbia. As players explore each city, they use shotguns, machine guns, rivet guns, and rocket launchers to kill mutated citizens and enemy soldiers. Players can also use special powers (e.g., telekinesis, fire blasts, electric bolts) to kill enemies as well as a three-pronged hook to dismember and decapitate them. Large blood-splatter effects occur as enemies are injured; pools of blood can be seen around corpses. Cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: characters shot in the head at close range; a woman smothered to death with a pillow; a man impaled by a drill; a character nearly lobotomized with surgical tools. The game references sexual material in the dialogue (e.g., “I think yeh gave me the clap, ya dirty boy,” “Gonorrhea! That’s what you’ll get,” and “Sexual intimacy is no different from any other commodity friend. You sell soybeans I sell companionship.”). During the course of the game, players can consume alcoholic beverages, resulting in a screen-blurring effect; a handful of scenes depict children smoking cigarettes. The social/political backdrop of one fictional city (set in the year 1912) includes the use of derogatory ethnic/racial terms (e.g., the words “gook,” “chink,” “negroes,” “injuns,” “crackers”); language such as “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “c*nt” can also be heard.
