Here we go SwitchUp family! I am working away on the other videos. I don’t expect to be finished any time soon, please leave a comment if only to keep me awake. Haven’t slept in 20 hours whoop whoop - just to clarify I have not been working on these videos for 20 hours lol, I went for an epic ride with my kids today but the codes only went live at midnight so i am making while they sleep! Mark
Family first and we'll be here watching when youre done bro. Nite! Great vid
Robert Herrin All good bro - they’re asleep :D haha
Robert Herrin And in a way I see this as me putting them first, I am trying real hard with Glen to build them something they can rely on in the future :D. Much love to you all! Mark
Will this count as a game that I can play while I "hold my breath" for Fallout (ANY)?
(Borderlands Rules)
Amazing content guys. We love the content! Stellar! Bravo! But hey, take some time to unwind with the family every once in a while. Okay, Mark?
bruhhhhhh dead space on switch i can only imagine. we basically got ourselves a portable 360 yall 🥺
That would be a Day 1 buy for me. Oh my god
I need this to happen so bad
I would love Dead Space collection for Switch. I love when I see other people say they want it too, it makes me feel like I’m not the only one.
I’m fine with a portable 360 tbh
Dead Space 1 is one of my all times. Beat it 4 times and got 100% achievements.
Being able to play these on a handheld is beyond what I would have imagined even 7 years ago when Infinite came out. So cool to get back to these on the go.
It really is incredible mate - I hope you enjoyed the video! Mark
Remember bioshock was suppose to be on the vita lol
You
You could get Bioshock on the iPhone 6, 6 years ago. It was decent but you couldn’t jump. Does that count? Still getting this one.
@@richardmunn3571 hell no that's doesn't count lol its nowhere up to snuff as any console version smh lol
7 years ago? the PS vita came out 9 years ago, Remoteplay was quite simple, all u needed va internet connection
It's amazing indeed that these great games are coming to the Switch and that they run and look as they should. With games like these the Switch is becoming like a museum for some of the great games of the past, while at the same time having all these amazing indi games and RPG's and some very good (timed) exclusives. I love the Switch.
Same. I normally don't touch nintendo anymore due to their 1st party only bs remakes and never discounting, and weeb games. Finally has some great 3rd party, and has now become my fave console due to portability.
@@The_-_Futurist24 What is a "weeb game"?
Yeah, portability is a big deal. This morning I was playing docked, but the weather was so good outside that I didn't want to stay at home, but I didn't want to stop playing eather, so I just grabed my Switch, some food and water and spend the day at a small wood near my home. What a great day:)
@@danielj8085 sorry, all the animated cartoon stuff from Japan that is just over the top.
This is SO relieving to hear! I’m honestly considering it now!
Yeah their silence on it was very suspicious, but this assuaged my fears ':D
Dont expect much out of the physical release. All three require big downloads. Not how you do a cart.
What is to consider? Buy it now, it's perfect.
James M does at least one of the games get a bit of memory from the cart???
As you I couldn't resist the nostalgia despite no gyro which is a game breaker to me.
I like how it still says "Aim for their head. You'll do more damage thatway" on the loading screen...
Well I can't bloody well aim can I??
Been waiting for this!
For people who haven’t played these games in 6-7+ years or are new comers then I’d say it’s a great value. However if you’re someone who played the collection 2-3 years ago then wait for a sale unless you REALLY love this series, like me, then buy it!
Yeah it's a buy for me! Mark
Just hit the download on the eshop at midnight! I love these games!
Happy days! Mark
Too bad had to wait 2 for it to download lol
Great breakdown, really in depth. Im so glad this is rocking on switch. I built a pc rig just for this game back in the day, and to have a switch handheld running the remaster is just insane. Rapture is one of my favourite fantasy spaces of all time.
Great work on this.
Thanks brother - I also bought a GeForce 3 for this bad boy back in the day haha. I remember replaying that opening segment and thinking it was photo realistic haha! Mark
Colour me surprised. Yeah, I think we were all concerned by 2K holding back codes but I’m relieved. It’s one of my favourite franchises and to have it running well on a portable is mind blowing. Great job, Mark!
Exactly that mate! Mark
“Welcome to the circus of valuueee” lol that vending machine😂😂😂
"Muchas gracias, señor!"
So funny! "Audio is so crispy," while he's lighting splicers on fire... Buahahaha. Great video and will be driving back in for the last time on switch. Looking for the next vid on infinite! Cheers
Robert Herrin heheh i thought people would like that one haha! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt... Haha, nice one Mark!
Had this on preorder, it's literally just arrived as I'm watching this 😂 great video as always!
I'm brand new to bioshock and bought the trillogy for Switch. I finished the 1st one this morning and I'm playing the second one now. It's so much fun a great selection of weapons and abilities. Fantastic well paced story with some great twists at the end of the 1st game. I can't wait to finish the trillogy so I can start it all over again. Great review as always guys.
That intro dialogue was well written. Narrated beautifully.
"It is so silky"
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH HALLE LUJAH!
??
Don’t forget the audio is crispy
"so silky" lmao reminds me of outlast lol
Beautiful, beautiful review. This is a very dear game to me. I remember the day i got a glimpse of it without any context, and minimal access to the internet: i was so caught up, and it got me dreaming for days. Until the fateful day a name came up. Bioshock.
Seeing it running on a portable console makes it even more personal. Kudos to the devs, and to you Mark for this awesome review.
We all make reviews, but in the end, our reviews make us.
Keep safe!
I might splurge on this down the road. Focused on Borderlands right now though.
Yep, our videos are coming but they're great ports. Mark
SwitchUp Awesome to hear! Can’t wait to travel back to Pandora. Still gonna watch your review though!
GamebroTV BL2 can be replayed far more than Bioshock. That’s the nature of looter/shooters. And none of the three are “superior” games. They are all vastly different genres (story based FPS, looter/shooter, and tactical rpg). Each one helped reinvent their genre and deserve to be played. However, the Borderlands series is a very old favorite of mine I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into on PC and I want to stream it with a friend of mine. That’s why I’m going Borderlands first.
@GamebroTV I would agree that Bioshock is a way better game for the story/characters/setting, but borderlands has way more replayability for sure
There's a special place in my heart for the Bioshock series. Amazing games
Bioshock is a fantastic series, and all three of them are equally as amazing.
SOLD! Bioshock for the wins. I watched all three performance reviews. And I’m getting Bioshock. Thanks Mark! There’s always a review. There’s always a man. There’s always a game.
If anyone watching this has never played it you owe it to yourself and to do so - Bioshock 1 in particular is one of the pinnacles of gaming! Great video as always👍
Good god! The way this video started, and your tone, I was dreadfully expecting this port to be a disaster! Well done hahah, looking forward to picking this up
Everybody get Mark and Glen to 100k, they seriously deserve it, 1k off.
Mark you naughty naughty boy. That intro of yours had me biting my nails in suspense. Watching this after impulse buying both the Borderlands and Bioshock collections. 😅 This wasn't a review but rather a Thriller for me 🤣
Been waiting to hear how it runs, since I've never played these games before. Thanks for the post! Here's to hoping they add a motion control patch down the line at some point. I completely agree with you on how helpful they can be.
The first BioShock is one of my favorite games of all time. Definitely picking this one up. Maybe 2 as well.
You know you are a SWITCH user when your definition of ‘Silky’ is 1080p 30fps
On a *thirteen* year old game. 😆
Can't wait to see how X-Com 2 holds up before pulling the trigger. Hopefully since they've got Bioshock going good so to X-Com
I'm looking forward to x-com as well!
That's up next guys! Made the call that most likely 3 is just as good. That can come later. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt thank you so much! I really love this Chanel and yall were so quick to jump on the reviews. This has definitely made my day
Word. I have high hopes; they tapped Virtuos for both XCOM and bioshock, which is a pretty great team as far as ports are concerned. And since bioshock turned out well by them... fingers crossed!
It's up czcams.com/video/-thNX6AItIQ/video.html
Dude what a tease on performance. you made it sound bad for the first 2 minutes! Shame! :P
Hahahah It’s all about building suspense my man! Mark
DOTTO exactly. At first I was like great
@@SwitchUpYt u had me going too at the beginning but I like that though lol
What a great addition to the switch library. Thank you so much Switch Up for the review 👏🏻
You have no idea how pleased I am to hear it is running properly. Can't wait for my copy to get here.
Always love your clever and witty intros mark! Great video think I’ll pick this and infinite up! See ya!
Just bought the Bioschock Collection today! Can’t wait to finally play it.....32gb download and all! 😁
Is it digital only? No physical? How much did you pay?
Graham Kelly Same Queston
It’s 49.99. I know it’s a large download, but they didn’t do any audio compression, giving better audio fidelity; it’s worth it
Graham Kelly It was physical, 79 AUD which is about 50 USD at the moment I think.
Hopefully I'll find it at a Walmart, since it will likely be cheaper there. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind spending the full $50 on this.
That opening brought back memories. Playing through the night on weekends in college and having lunch at midnights.
What many people still don't understand after all these years.
Frame PACING is more important than higher frames per second.
When you have consistent 30 fps with ZERO frame variance and ZERO frame drops, it is a MUCH better experience than a game that can average 120 fps but has microstutter or variances up and down 20 - 40 fps here and there.
With some hiccups noted, I am quite proud to see that the port is very good. I love to see that the game is smooth as a baby's skin.
hey man, just wanted to say thank you for all these vids! i never played bioshock or borderlands but after these reviews im sure to pick them up! thanks to you i started playing the AC rebel pack and i have been loving it thus far, keep up the good work
Wake up, you got reviews to do! This is no time for rest.
Hahaha no sleep for me brother! Mark
No sleep brother! What ya gonna do, brother, what ya gonna do when Borderlands, Bioshock, and XCom 2 run a performance test over you, brother??? 😂
Well you just broke my wallet..in a good way. Please release the XCOM 2 Video. I really hope it lives up to the hype and is a decent port. Because I have been waiting so long for it. I'll be here all night waiting :)
It's uploading right now. Mark
thanks for the upload. glad to see this running well on the Switch.
berva You’re welcome mate! Mark
For some reason diagonal imputs with the right analog are insanely slow compared to left and right. Other than that cool game.
So glad with the result of your review as I was in two minds to cancel the pre order thinking as you probably did. “What don’t they want us to know before release”
I've already played the first game 3 times, and the other two games once, but will probably end up biting the bullet on the Switch Collection to GLADLY play them all again. I'm glad you were happy with the performance. I saw someone playing the games in handheld mode and it also looked SURPRISINGLY good.
After a LONG research, i've bought this for 10 bucks in its physical version. Cannot wait for it to come, looks amazing!
Almost there guys 😁😁😁 100k 💪
So close mate! Mark
This is one of those games I've been wanting to play for years but never had time to sit & play (freaking kids & job). So obviously I was planning on picking it up for the Switch either way but this looks freaking amazing 😍 I'm going to go hunting today after work to see if I can find a physical copy.
I'm confident Doom Eternal will be solid 🙏🏾
Yeah they had more time with the switch and probably build the switch version differently so it would run better.
@SUBZEROUK the difference here is that DOOM won't be a port. They probably built it from scratch and made it adapted to the switch. and we've seen so far that all built for the switch games were really good with no problems.
@@familygamingofficiel9849 like dragon quest 11? Sounds awesome, do you have a source for that?
We love what you do, keep it up! I grabbed Borderlands Legendary Collection already and will download tomorrow to play after work. Can't wait.
The Collection just showed up with a buy button and I am the proud owner of yet another copy of the Bioshock series. What a day this will be! Cheers gents keep them angels coming.
Thanks for the great review I just bought it right afterwards I loved these games so much back in the day I am so a little worried before when I heard these titles were coming to switch but I am super happy that they look great and run great a must buy
The cross hatching isn't new. I've seen it in Spyro Reignited, but after awhile, I got used to it in that game and I don't really notice it anymore unless I look very closely. I can't wait to get Bioshock for my switch. Such great games, I'm so happy they're here.
I didn’t like bioshock 2 that much but this game franchise is so iconic
Already know this is gonna be great! Been waiting for this review anyways before I purchase. Keep up the good work guys!
Cheers Andrew it gave me chills playing this again. Mark
“Would you kindly make a review of bioshock collection for switch?” Good
You captured a great clip for the audio portion of the review. Kudos!
Congrats on the 100k guys well deserved. I Was enjoying the review then you mentioned dead space, another thing I want to see on switch along with the legacy of kain series, it made me realise my back log will never go down. Top job guys. Will be picking up all 3 2k games in time.
Finally on land after a 7 month deployment. Time to catch up on one of my favorite channels. Was so happy to see this was on the switch now, love the series.
Thanks so much. I've never played these he's, and I'm actually happy with all the remasters.
Really appreciate the amount of work that you've put into getting these reviews out quickly. Great videos today!
Really hope people support these releases. I know they're just ports, but getting more support from big publishers, especially Western ones, will lead to more games & better support on future Nintendo hardware. Still not used to see Bethesda, 2k, Blizzard, Take Two, etc. supporting a Nintendo system.
Looks great. Shame about no gyro, it makes aiming feel so much better on Switch.
I just bought this now without watching a review since I knew it was gonna be good. I remember never being able to buy the game since I was a kid back in the 360 days so I just kept replaying the demo and loved it everytime I did replay it. Now that I'm older, I can't wait to play this game that everyone is nagging me to play all the time, especially on the go.
Never got into these games and I couldn't really tell you why, but I'm glad this series plays well on the switch. I'm sure a lot of people will be ecstatic.
The switch has set a new standard for how handheld games should run. With doom, skyrim and now the bioshock and borderlands collections. The saying, "can it run doom?" should now include "can it run bioshock?" and, "can it run skyrim?" Lol
0:40
They did it!
They made the Rosie hold a Rivet Gun!!!
Even the console versions don't have that detail down!!!!
The Lazy ODST omgggg hell yeah
Got this one physical ordered already I can’t wait. What and excellent game series Bioshock is. I can’t wait to sink into Rapture for probably the 30th time
Looks completely amazing! Shows what the switch is capable of
I mean... It's an Xbox 360 game with some slight texture improvements. It's hardly ground breaking tbh.
YourPalHDee Alien isolation probably is the best switch port
@@neoramaredzone8544 yeah, sensational port!
You're spoiling us with all these reviews, thank you guys :)
First run through of Skyrim and my back log is insane. May wait a bit, even though I'm a newcomer.
I boggles my mind that such great high performing games can run on the switch. This is a powerful machine.
Really looking forward to the XCOM 2 review, and I'm so amazed that you guys are just hammering out back to back quality reviews, but please get a good rest later!
So happy about BIOSHOCK 1 running good. One of my favs. Well done guys
Pizzachuu Yeah both 1 & 2 are running great I am positive 3 will be the same! Mark
They all look incredible on the Switch, just hope Infinite UI in handheld mode gets a text size increase as it's so tiny on that game it's very hard to read.
I hear you, for some reason developers haven't focused too hard on this aspect when it comes to handheld play, which is weird as the main appeal of their ports are "play on the go."
Skyrim and Doom 2016 are good examples.
Just Kitten strange why infinite has microscopic text while the first two games the text looks fine. Other than that small issue I can't fault the ports, they did an amazing job.
So happy it's running well 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hopefully, the third games running just as good. So guna pick this up now. Love these games
This game only crashed one time on me. And that was the first game going into Smugglers Hideout. The loading transition screen crashed my game. Other than that, the game never crashed for the rest of my playthrough and it was a smooth experience all throughout. I am extremely happy with this on Switch.
Thank you so much for cranking this out so quickly!
Thank you for this! I'd been checking pretty much this whole week for some early reviews. Get some rest!
Good review, as the one with XCOM 2 and all the others.
Good work, @switchup
Thanks for the review Mark. I’m relieved to see the 1 & 2 look and run well!🖖🏻
I recently replayed all of these on my pc. They are great and I hope you switch gamers have fun playing it
You sold it Mark, Bioshock is one of those sacred titles I missed after I stopped playing videogames on PC... moreover, I'm not a huge fan of first person shooters (the last one I really enjoyed was Half-Life) but I get the feeling this one can really suit my tastes. Thank you for making me poorer... again! ;P
You are so awesome for doing this! I love these 2K games and my only concern was how are they going to hold up performance wise. Thanks for staying up all night to let us know!
You brilliant content machines! This was out SO quick! If I could sub again, I would. Much appreciated! Downloading my copy now.
Cheers mate! Mark
Stay awake Mark. I’m looking forward to the Xcom 2 and borderlands reviews. Here’s hoping we don’t get another borderlands for ps vita situation.
TsuraiZangetsu It’s coming brother, it’s coming! Mark
OH MY GAWD! TOMORROW CAN'T COME ANY LATER!
And I hope my car is out of the shop, because I need the physical. I've never played a Bioshock game before, and this game looks absolutely gorgeous. Plus I am getting serious Timesplitter vibes for some reason. Thanks for the performance update! 👍
You're going to absolutely freaking love it. Remember shock then melee! Mark
Thanks for the advice.
Xenoblade, XCOM 2, Bioshock collection alongside borderlands ... My wallet will be empty tomorrow
All I need now is the Dead Space Trilogy... I would NEVER sell my Switch at that point... Ever.....
And mass effect and red dead redemption
I am so happy this runs well. Would like gryo controls for handheld, but it's not a deal breaker. Gread vid as always.
I’m way late but grabbed it for Black Friday and glad to see so many people saying nothing but good things about when wherever I look
It’s really good review by the way. Although I am a pretty bad first person shooter player but can’t help but being attracted to this game by your introduction. But wonder is 30fps is really playable for such games.
I think I’mma have a bioshock series playthrough on my ps3 this weekend 😂
I am so happy that the performance is solid. I am tuis gives me hope for the rest of the releases!
I suck at first person shooters with a control pad so the switch version is not for me. It is amazing to see what the devs were able to do with this version though. I played all three games on my PC already. Such good games!
I really really hope it’s good on the switch!!!
17thsuspect Happy? Mark
Inverted axis is a blessing and curse. As a kid my first game was on my cousin’s console - he inverted his controls and ever since then that’s how I’ve played.
There needs to be a support group for people like us who are the social pariahs of couch co-op / alternating playing with friends.
Maybe for the sake of the next generation we should drop the inverted controls option.
You could say inverted controls gets me down (or is that up). Sorry, I’ll stop.
Imagine if they gave us motion control with this game on the switch!
I'm a huge motion control fan and made this comment before you starting talking about it...RIP
I really enjoyed the Bioshock games, will be great to revisit them again in Switch. Looks like they've done a fantastic port of the games for Switch.
Quick already done review for boarder lands 2 by me... it is amazing
Personally I played and beat the first Bioshock game years ago on the Xbox 360 and music wise it introduced me to the classic song Beyond The Sea by Bobby Darin and i'm sure i'm not the only one.
