“BioShock Remastered is set for release on Mac,” Justin Kahn reports for 9to5Mac.
“It looks as though the enhanced version of the game initially appeared as part of the BioShock Collection for consoles nearly a year ago, but now the good folks at Feral are ready to bring it to the Mac,” Kahn reports. “And you won’t have to wait much longer.”
“Marking the 10th anniversary of the original, BioShock Remastered for Mac is releasing on August 22nd in the Feral store and the Mac App Store,” Kahn reports. “Set in an alternate take on the 1960’s in the underwater city of Rapture, the remaster features enhanced graphics and will run you $19.99.”

Upgrade my Steam version?
*grumble* Where’s the Mac version of Carmageddon: Reincarnation I paid for?!
I’d like a Mac version of the Mass Effect series please.
Unfortunately, Electronic Arts seems to be casting Bioware (the developers of Mass Effect) adrift. Those EA scoundrels are the gameworld equivalent of Microsoft or Adobe, who buy up competitors and then kill ’em outright. “It’s just business, you silly girl.” No, it’s evil. It’s casting a pall across the land, withering the poppies and turning off the Technicolor.
On the other hand, EA are just the sort of outfit who would reanimate existing content for a new platform, enriching themselves without having to pay developers for new material. I could go for that. My longing for great experiences transcends my philosophical and political objections.
I heard it was because the latest version of Mass Effect really bombed. I actually haven’t read anything about why it is so bad but they’ve been saying that it killed the franchise. Now they’re saying it’s killed Bioware. It’s weird because early on when it was released it boosted the bottom line of EA and they couldn’t stop singing its praises.
Maybe now would be a perfect time to bring it out on the Mac. Whole new untapped market?
