i don't think that is what he is saying. he is saying they will look at the new features on the ps3 and the features that were on the other platforms that made the game great. he is saying they will look at the old and the new features. people are reading too much into this.

morganfell5814d ago

must be a disagree from a certain ps3 fan that kept pming me with his madness.

chaosatom3335814d ago

badly worded title.

360 benefits nothing. I mean bioshock is not exclusive anymore.

turbogeekx5814d ago

Uh no if Sony pays for the exclusive content it will stay on PS3 or come months later to 360 if they DON'T pay for it.

Hydrolex5814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

MGS4 is coming BROTHA ! only 2 weeks OMG !

EDIT: LOL Sony pays for BIOSHOCK DLCs? Are you on Crack ? Sony didn't pay for GTA IV's DLCs. you know Bioshock is a joke compared to GTA IV, so now you want Sony to pay for Bioshock ? God Bless me

Ahahah

Mr_President_5814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

They don't throw away money. The 360 will probably get the same content months later in the form of a re-release, but thats like a consolation prize to them. I'm sure they would have rather kept the game exclusive.

LaChance5814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

Yeah , right ! Sony is going to pay for DLC for a game that came out 1 year earlier on the rivals machine.

That would be a stupid busines move.

Especially if Bioshock 2 is a timed excluisve agin though I think it will be coming out on PS3 and 360 a at the same time.

@HYdrolex : euh ... you going to be playing MGS 4 for the whole entire year ? I personnaly played MGS3 for a month then I moved on to another game.

Daver5814d ago

@ 1.4

Do i have to remind you that a lot of people are still playing COD4.. and now with Metal gear online people will play it for a while

poopface15814d ago

There really isnt anything they could do to make me wanna play it again, except make bioshock 2.

n to the b5814d ago

3.5 times. now I've temporarily 'traded' it for a friend's turok just to try and get him to play through this awesome game.

barom5813d ago

I think what they really meant, was that the new features will be attractive to even the customers who has played it.

Sounds like he's saying that the new version will give people with the old version something to look at, in terms of buying it again for the PS3.

Closing5814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

"So, by that we infer that any 'new features' appearing in the PS3 version will also appear in both PC and Xbox 360 games in some form."

iEnzeru5814d ago

That's what I was thinking when I read the comments. Seems like they're trying to put enough into the PS3 version to convince people who only own a PS3 to buy a 1 year old game as well as get some that already own it on either the 360 or PC to also buy it on the PS3.

Saint Sony5814d ago

This game should be played in school, work and home. People should study it. It is pure greatness.

iHEARTboobs5814d ago

@Mc Fadge - I thought the same.

@Closing - It does read that but that's the website's words. I think the PS3 will get the extra stuff for now but eventually it will be released on the 360 if it's extra content of some sort.

jkhan5814d ago

Hey wait a second. As far as I can make out from his comments was that those who have already played the game on other platforms will definitely want to purchase it for PS3. Anyways even if those extra contents come to PS3, most probably they are gonna charge the 360 owners for these stuff. As is the common norm now a days.

AbdullaMTR5814d ago

Moving from 360 explosive in consoles to non-explosive with enhanced and more content, 360 will Benefit from it do u have a mine in ur head dude.

Didn't the creator write it? It also made a fortune based on the budget so from a business standpoint it is a massive success.

Why BioShock Deserves the Dead Space Remake Treatment

Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.

banger88390d ago

No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.

FallenAngel1984390d ago

There have already been 7th gen remakes of games already

Dead Space in particular already proves that just because a game looks good on original hardware doesn’t mean it cant look and play better

Jin_Sakai390d ago

Agreed although I’m ready for some new groundbreaking IP this generation.

IamTylerDurden1390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

Agreed. Remasters already happened and still look n play fantastic. DS was a different animal. It needed a remake, Bioshock doesn't NEED it. Infinite Remastered for example is extremely viable even today. What we do need is Bioshock 4. Rumors that equated to zip. Where is it? Ken really blew the pooch as well. Left to go do what? He was inspired by Tell Tale or something and went off to become irrelevant. Nice. And Bioshock Vita was scrapped. Fantastic.

toxic-inferno389d ago

Bioshock 4 is definitely still in development. News trickles out about it every couple of months.

And Ken's next game (Judas) looks great from the teaser trailer.

IamTylerDurden1390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

Yeah. Pretty much. I understand why they did it with TLOU to coincide with the show but certainly it didn't NEED a remake desperately. Obviously u are trolling and expect me defend anything Sony but idgaf about all that. I say what i feel is the truth.

Just like TLOU i wouldn't be upset if Bioshock received a remake but it doesn't desperately need it. I'd probably even play it bc like TLOU, i love Bioshock, but in these aren't identical scenarios either. Ppl kill ND for TLOU Remake yet it wasn't even their project originaly. It started as a potential Uncharted remake and passion project via Visual Arts and was passed to Bend i believe? ND took over bc the project obviously wasn't where it needed to be. And yet they still had Factions and possibly TLOU 3 in development as well. Bioshock has been dormant for a decade bar the remaster. Rumors of a sequel haven't materialised. A remake without a sequel would be disappointing. TLOU Remake is more tolerable knowing sequel/spinoffs are in development. Like i said, dif situation.

neutralgamer1992389d ago

It's not all about looks only

Tweaks to story
Tweaks to characters
Improvements to gameplay

Original bioshock have the worst puzzle solving system and can get frustrating quickly

WiiU-Dude389d ago

The last part you said I agree COMPLETELY!!! Game companies need to mine games from the Sega Saturn, PS1 and N64 days and even the Dreamcast, GameCube, and PS2 days to give a full update to. I know those would require more work, but there are PLENTY of gems from those days that people would LOVE to play again or for the first time with a facelift!!! I know I would.

The games that need remaking are.

Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.

PS5 would produce something special.

There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.

Storm23390d ago

I would kill for Resistance 1-3 Remake/Remaster. Same with MotorStorm series and Killzone series. Man, I loved my PS3. Can we also get the Metal Gear series and rescue MGS4 off the PS3? There is a rumor of MGS3 getting a remake. One of, if not my number 1, favorite game of all time.

On topic, I played Bioshock like 6 months after release after hearing from everyone and their mother how incredible it was. I know I will be in the minority on this, but I couldn't get into it. I think my expectations were too high. Totally my fault. Maybe I should give it another chance...

IamTylerDurden1390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

Agreed, Killzone as well, but Sony has no interest in the future of those IP. It won't happen. If they cared about Motorstorm they wouldn't have axed Evolution. The last remaster from a dead studio "Wipeout" was exceptional yet nobody supported it. Even with a free VR inclusion. If ppl want these remasters...actually support the ones that release. Medievil same thing. Ppl cried for Demon's Souls Remake, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3 and the sales didn't match the cries. None of these games sold as u would imagine given the internet pleas for these titles over a decade or more. DeS Remake did alright but given the circumstances it should've sold better. 92 Meta, PS5 launch exclusive, stunning visuals, and the first of the genre in an age where Eldin Ring will push 30 million units. Yes, DeS is only one platform but still.

Binarycode388d ago

I do agree mostly with what you said.

I bought killzone,2,3. Did not like 4 other then it's graphics.

I bought infamous 1,2. Second son never did it for me apart from again the graphics, so parts were good. But world felt too empty. Probably needed a PS5 to do it justice.

Bought all the Resistance and Motorstorms, those games were awesome. They 100% need a remake.

PS3 was just an awesome machine, I know it was a pain to develop for, but it had some many titles that I loved.
I really enjoyed the Bioshock series, the first 2 were best. Very good games.

As for Demon souls.and the souls series in general. They never have had massive sales. I think because they are very hard games. we are talking a million or less. I think the remaster did 1.4million.

Motorstorm pacific rift did 1.4million PS3.I think.

Hopefully some of them will come back.

-Foxtrot390d ago

I would love this

Expand on the lore

Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines

Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area

Maybe new plasmids

Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great

Aussiesummer390d ago

Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
