1up preview: Bioshock

1up writes: Even if you don't own an Xbox 360, you've no doubt heard of 2K Boston's (née Irrational Games) first-person masterpiece BioShock. Sony diehards who've refused to taint their homes with Microsoft's console finally have a chance to play this instant shooter classic on their preferred platform, so I've taken the time to capture video of the PS3 experience...and my general BioShock ineptitude.

Xbxo 360 version seems a bit brighter and more aliased. The Ps3 version is a tad darker with a few more jaggies to it and the texture detail on the hand is much better on the xbox 360 version going off the vids; if you ask me.

CViper5723d ago

Jaggies - Can't tell because of compression, but the 360 lines for windows are just as chattery as the ps3 side.

Textures - Ps3 hands down. Look at the detail of the city buildings vs the 360's textureless backgrounds. The 360 is also tearing like no tomorrow to try to keep the framerate stable, where as the Ps3 side isn't suffering from that.

Sligon, imwith you on so many things bro.. but this time you are just dead wrong.

PimpHandStrong5723d ago

dude listen to yourself!!!!

texture on the hand is much better?!?!?!

i bet you something

When i play this game on my 1080p TV with the HDMI hook up it will be better looking then 90% of the ppl who played this game on a 360 on a non HD TV with component cables

see what i did there

bet u do

GameOn5723d ago

Who cares. The only real difference is the extra content.

Silogon5723d ago

I'm sure all the games I play with my rig, much like yourself, look better than 80% of what people play on their xbox 360's and ps3's, man. Most people don't adjust or take the time to tweak their setups to get the best displays. Most people just stick the game in and play it or hook their systems up and go.

Me, I'm a different person. I like to know I am getting the absolute best quality outof each game and or console. that's why when I see these comparisons "by and large" I laugh cause my Ps3 games never look anything like them. They look 2 folds better, easly.

Now, with me saying the xbox 360 version seemed to have beter textures and less aliasing; maybe you all are right. I couldn't really be 100% sure with how small it was, but I did post my opinions and they are probably wrong. We'll see... I think Bio shock was an amazing game on the xbox 360 and will no doubt transfer over very well to the Ps3. I'm buying it no doubt.

GameOn5723d ago

But you can only play through it so many times.
It really needs some sort of survival mode.

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.

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.

FallenAngel1984402d 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_Sakai402d ago

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

IamTylerDurden1402d ago (Edited 402d 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-inferno401d 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.

IamTylerDurden1402d ago (Edited 402d 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.

neutralgamer1992402d 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-Dude401d 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.

Storm23402d 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...

IamTylerDurden1402d ago (Edited 402d 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.

Binarycode400d 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.

-Foxtrot402d 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

Aussiesummer402d ago

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