Thank you for the reply. By all means correct me if I am wrong, weren't the Bioshock prints just game screenshots and not art?

Not all of them.

The falling art was not a screenshot

Well, none of the BioShock prints were "just in-game screenshots" I would say. The in-engine image prints were all specially created renders at very high resolutions. I know these types of works don't really communicate that well on a - or our - website, because they look like screenshots but there was a lot more work to them than maybe meets the eye initially. Also to get them at these huge sizes.

As for whether it's art, I think you mean that they are not concept art or production design work? That is true. Whether or not it is 'art' is up to you of course, although we like to think so . This is also the form that Irrational Games themselves decided they wanted to present the game's design in and it is our policy to let the creatives decide how they want to present their work.

Anyway, the Journey collection consists more of concept art and composite imagerey
