Bioshock Remade in Unreal 4 Looks Awesome
Bioshock was quite a nice looking game when it was first released, but it hasn't aged well on consoles. Even though it's only seven years old, I'm positive there are people out there that wouldn't mind seeing a bit of an update for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
