No gods or kings, only man and his iPad. 2K announced ton Monday that it's porting the original BioShock to iOS devices, with a release " later this summer (http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/4/5960145/full-original-bioshock-hits-iphone-ipad-this-summer)." In other words, approximately six years after (http://kotaku.com/5154749/lets-all-look-at-bioshock-running-on-a-mobile-phone) we first heard BioShock was coming to phones. The port is being handled by 2K China—the same team that brought XCOM: Enemy Unknown to iOS last year.</p><p>
Some heavy lifting had to be done to get BioShock in under iOS's 2GB app size limit, so most of the high-end graphics effects are gone (fog, et cetera) and the geometry looks like it's been simplified quite a bit. Still, it's Rapture, running on the iPad and iPhone.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2459958/return-to-rapture-the-original-bioshock-is-coming-to-ios-this-summer.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
