My hunch is that Naughty Dog is helping them port the game as they have yet to announce Uncharted 2 or a new project. This is awesome news!! Bioshock will awesome for the PS3!

Lucreto5825d ago

"optimizing and refactoring the physics simulation for the game to take the maximum advantage of the PS3 hardware."

That doesn't seem like a port sounds more as a ground up rebuild

issa30325825d ago

You're right, "port" maybe is not the right word. Especially in this day and age it has a negative connotation. This game certainly doesn't seem like it's gonna be gimped. Halleluliah!

jackdoe5825d ago (Edited 5825d ago )

If it is Naughty Dog, Insomniac, or Guerilla then we should be assured that the tech should be up to snuff. Say what you will about Guerilla's ability to make games, you cannot deny their ability to make tech. Their technical development of Killzone 2 has helped developers like Naughty Dog (better self-shadowing in Uncharted [edit]) and Insomniac and other Sony owned development studios. However, if it is one of those three studios, there had better be something substantial added to the game, multiplayer, side story, better ending, substantially improved physics/gameplay (otherwise what would be the point for Sony's collaboration with the game in the first place? General concern for developers? I somehow doubt it, especially for a game that is a one year old port.)

jwatt5825d ago

I love the playstation blog, it gives us a closer look at what the devs are trying to accomplish. I think it benefits both the gamers and developers.

beavis4play5825d ago

i wish they'd announce a new J&D series.(and uncharted2)

KingKirchner5825d ago

I don't think so. I'm betting (more like hoping) that ND's next game will be revealed at E3. *crosses fingers for Jak 4*

NO_PUDding5825d ago

I want them to make Uncharted 2...

Uncharted was so pretty, it deserves a great game to go with it.

Anyway, on topic:

"I think Bioshock is a pretty cool guy. eh is comign to PS3 and doesn't afraid of anything."

decapitator5825d ago

Oh happy day. First Obama winning the Democratic nomination, finally starting to love DS and now some new details on one of my most anticipated games this year, yeah am alright.

QuackPot5825d ago

That they didn't have a working ps3 version a year ago.

I mean the Ps3 config data found in the PC version implies that there was a working version.

Oh, well. It's still going to be a great game for the Ps3.

I wonder if the PS3 will get exclusive features which the 360 and pc versions will never get.

iHEARTboobs5825d ago

They said the 2k Boston team was "hard at work on some of the as-yet-unannounced components of the PS3 version."

I'm assuming that means there will be some new stuff. How much though??

Milky5824d ago

If it was online modes then the 2 console owners would be tempted alot more to buy this game a second time... And it would be so awesome.

Tmac5825d ago

I've ran through this game twice, I'm still definitely going to pick it up for the PS3.

Gun_Senshi5825d ago

Bioshock is one of those games that every gamer should play. Its story element is great and should not be missed espically in days like these where most FPS devs focus on online.

Veryangryxbot5825d ago

360 lost another game! And I am proud to stand here and say we stole a good one aswell. Right you are ma boy.

Our new motto is: "all your games are belong to us, bots"

Remember that!

juuken5825d ago

They might even lose NG2.
Time will tell.

But it does sound like they're working on Bioshock from the ground up.

Panthers5825d ago

I doubt i would get NG2. Sounds bland. Boring level design and the only good thing is the combat... no thanks.

muddygamesite5824d ago

"Bioshock is one of those games that every gamer should play. Its story element is great and should not be missed espically in days like these where most FPS devs focus on online."

Thats is a perfect statement that precisely describes how i feel. Im not even an FPS fan (i consider myself old school), and i tend to get sick of online multiplayer being shoved into everything. Not every game needs it.

ROCKY28198d ago

The movie was absolutely garbage !!!
BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!

Garethvk198d ago

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.

banger88406d 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.

FallenAngel1984406d 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_Sakai406d ago

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

IamTylerDurden1406d ago (Edited 406d 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-inferno405d 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.

IamTylerDurden1406d ago (Edited 406d 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.

neutralgamer1992406d 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-Dude405d 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.

Storm23406d 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...

IamTylerDurden1406d ago (Edited 406d 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.

Binarycode404d 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.

-Foxtrot406d 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

Aussiesummer406d ago

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