VideoGamer.com Rumour mill - BioShock not coming to PS3, Online multiplayer in God of War 3 and more

Welcome to the Rumour mill, VideoGamer.com's run-down of the big rumours currently doing the rounds in the video game industry. Every week we'll hunt down the juiciest stories and give our opinion on how legit they are. So, whether you want the ridiculous or the plausible, read on.

BioShock not coming to PS3

The Rumour: Contrary to popular belief, 2K Games' BioShock or its in-development sequel are not coming to the PlayStation 3. They will remain Xbox 360 and PC exclusive. This is due to Microsoft paying for exclusive rights and the extra effort required of a PS3 port.

Verdict: This one comes from rumour blogging legend Surfer Girl and goes directly against the Rumour from EGM that claimed the original game was heading to the PS3.

"BioShock is still not coming to PS3 nor is there plans for a PS3 version of its sequel," reads the blog.

Given BioShock's huge success on the Xbox 360 it's perfectly reasonable to expect Microsoft to want it to remain a platform exclusive. With so little known about the sequel, though, it's a little early to be saying it's a guaranteed exclusive.

Plausibility rating: 3/5

I really dont trust surfer girl... she just makes a load of guesses. This is something that could be either way, its 50-50 only the devs know... her guess is probably right to be honest but its a guess.

1.1 - I totally agree with you, dude.

Surfer "Girl" is a joke. She usually just points out the obvious; like with Bioshock. That debate happened already and now the internet is rehashing it, so "she" merely restates what had already been settled as if it's news.

Why do we care about a game that takes 8 hours to beat first try and very low replay value? Interesting story, good plot twist (yes I've played it my gamercard proves it) however once you beat it unless your an achievement whore or you missed something story-wise (or trying for the good ending) there's really nothing else.

And every week VideoGamer.com gives every rumour a 3/5 which basically says "we have no f'ing clue either".

Except for the obvious, those get the 4/5.

This is a no brainer.... Microsoft will not allowed a AAA system seller that helps them sell consoles and make a ton on money on the PC and the xbox 360 to go to Sony.... it's a no brainer.. if Microsoft gambles when it comes ot games like GTA by paying a ton of money for exclusive... they will not let Bioshock 2 out of their hands that easy...

ohh and remember... Sony does not pay for exclusives and no games... so, why should developers bring to the PS3 when they can sell a lots on the xbox 360, and get some love ($$$ from microsoft) ohh and make the game better by focusing on 1 platform... yeah PC is too similar to the xbox 360 in terms of developement so it can be considered the same platform.

but..... they DO pay for exclusives

what the hell is this bullsh!t rumor that Sony doesn't pay for exclusives, of course they do

they fund games like Lair and HS to keep them exclusive and they pay for exclusives

Kaz Hirai was planning to buy Assasins Creed and GTA4 as exclusives but apparently he was too slow in finalising the deals

ok here's my rundown

1) how much is MS really willing to pay for a game that isnt even exclusive to the 360, im sure they could let Bioshock go- i dont know if they're prepared to cover the financial cost of the loss of sales by 2k were they not to release Bio 2 on the PS3, they're rich- but how far are they prepared to go for a game that will be on PC anyway?

2)the job listing certainly isn't conclusive proof, but it does seem like a good idea anyway- i hope they go through with it because i love playing games in co-op with a mate

3)i'd be surprised if it wasn't, i mean if you look at scale of things in GTA you just cant possibly imagine it NOT being the most expensive game

I love how we now consider Bioshock NOT coming to PS3 a "rumor", when it's been considered FACT all along...except amongst some PS3 fans.

This just in... RUMOR: MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive, and Gears of War 2 not coming to the PS3. 0_0

6.1 - How 'bout...

NO...and it would be pointless anyway. Why would they bother bringing the 3rd part of a TRILOGY...exclusive to the MS platforms...to a rival platform that never saw the first 2???
And, BTW, how 'bout an actual SOURCE backing up your "2 game deal" BS?

Nice try...but how 'bout coming up with something less desperate, and more logical next time? :o

He's either...

In any case it will come to the pc so when I upgrade I'll still be able to play it.
