Levine confirms no PS3 BioShock

Joystiq just got off the phone with Ken Levine, lead designer for BioShock, who says the BioShock PC issues are overblown because they're under a microscope right now due to the game's profile and he fully admits they "screwed up," patches are most definitely in the works and there is no PS3 version of BioShock in development or planned.

Levine admits there were "real screw-ups" and he "understands why people are pissed off" about the online copy protection verification for the game and it comes down to a classic victim of their own success story. They couldn't have planned the game would be such an insta-hit and they weren't prepared, so when all those people tried to verify their PC versions online during installation the server crashed. He also reiterated patches are in the works for the FOV issues and that the copy protection limit locked in for PCs will be raised. He also assured us that the servers used to authenticate the game for the PC to allow installation will be there for decades in case someone wants to install the game years from now. He says there is nothing "insidious" in their copy-protection, it's the same as any other game that uses the same protection program.

[xaphanze]

that sucks

[eLiNeS]

to handle the awesome graphics that awaits you.

[monkey602]

why has he 4 disagrees for stating his opinion i dont get this site

[InMyOpinion]

Maybe they're just saying that they are not interested in Bioshock. Or maybe they are just jealous. Beats me.

[4542125]

Finaly something giving a console identity.

[fjtorres]

Maybe they *like* that its never coming to PS3.
Who knows?

[Ignorant Fanboy]

People get disagrees by trolls that just go down the list hitting disagree with everyone.

If I posted a statement that:

MS makes the 360
Sony makes the PS3

I would still get a disagree. Its just how it works on this site.

[Ri0tSquad]

@ rusgriem
We thought it had a possible chance of coming to the ps3 because of the file found in the demo. And that only on what ever system can lie. Example = Resident evil 4 only on gamecube later on ps2 and computer

[WilliamRLBaker]

Agreed that does suck, All gamers should experience this game.

[reaperxciv]

another one bites the dust... too bad, this game should be sold on all platforms

[Texas GMR]

I'm an XBOX fan, but this game should be experienced by all gamers. It's that good. Let's hope the PS3 finally get's it eventually. Even if it takes another year, this game is an instant classic!

[rusgreim]

"Only on Xbox 360 and PC"

I thought that made it pretty damn clear, but leave it to sony fanbois to just make $hit up.

Edit: How can you disagree? despite the fact its stamped PC & xbox only, we have these lame, PS3 bois begging stories.

[Syko]

In fairness Enchanted Arms had the same branding. It just means at the time of it's release you can only get it on PC or 360.

[rsebes]

There were still rumors of Bioshock in dev for ps3. I just wanted to make that clear. Please don't insult certain groups for ex. "Fanbois". Thats your opinion, Here we are trying to report news.

[WilliamRLBaker]

Syko thats only cause Enchanted arms sold like crap, thats why ubi sent it multi, cause the game sucked so they wanted to squeeze money out of it as much as they could.

[Naruto]

who said it was going to ps3?

[Bloodmask]

Desperado

[tplarkin7]

Gamespot, EGM, and IGN all made comments that Bioshock would "eventually" make it to PS3. They all "suspected" it would come. This actually make me a bit mad, since journalists are supposed to speak with knowledge. Eventhough Bioshock was always exclusive to 360/PC, they kept assuming otherwise. I thought they had insider information, but they obviously didn't.

[Rhaigun]

It was a rumor. No game site said it was coming for sure. It's been said by some sites that the PS3 listing was just part of UE3 code.

[Odion]

yup what we all thought MS made a deal

[fjtorres]

it always was.
MS is paying to localize it to japanese, remember?
That was pointed out last month.
Why would MS do that if it wasn't signed, sealed, and delivered as 360 exclusive?
Go play Lair children and get out of here...

[THC CELL]

This game was not for Ps3 man i never liked it,

[toughNAME]

grow some balls Sony f@ggot

EDIT - free_porn Sry man im Canadian...good try though

EDIT - Wanker? I said CANADIAN

[A Man]

Ok then. How about Wanker? Na doesnt matter.

[power of Green]

It says Only on PC/360 on the box. I'll miss fighting with one of this site's members that thinks the fluke handlings of games like the JRPG game Enchanted Arms is proof of anything.

You dissagree because you know what I say comes true too often and its not because I'm Nastrodomis its because you people create this fictional reality that defies logic and common sense. You have to admit my predictions are pretty much spot on as some Europeans would say.

[beavis4play]

the box means nothing. ken levine saying ms paid for the exclulsive means everything.

[Salvadore]

This will defiantly but a stop to the rumour.

[bung tickler]

nope, no it wont. it would be nice if it did but it wont.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

agreed

[edit] below me, agreed.

[Staircase]

lol, I wish. People are still waiting for Metal Gear Solid 4 on 360.

[thereapersson]

I'm still going to play this game when I get a 360 this winter.

*exits thread before the flame war starts*

[toughNAME]

yeahh with the success its had MS probably realllly wanted this to stay exclusive...so im not surprised by this

but this is just another cold slap on the balls to the Sony camp
hopefully HS, Warhawk, and Lair reviews pick up a bit

im pulling for you guys:)

[acetw1n]

it looks kind of corny if you ask me ,im sick of fps's ,i be gettin all dizzy and s#it

[darkequitus]

fanoy response. I bet ou would think the game was the best since slice bread if it was coming to the PS3. So I guess you will be given KZ2 RFOM2 Haze and URT3 all a wide birth then? Thought not.

PC/PS3Wii360 gamer

[BloodySinner]

Because it's not coming to the PS3? Keep telling yourself that.

[Assassin4hire]

if the game was a bigger hit he may have been saying it was coming to ps3 but it wasnt..

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

bigger hit? the game will sell over a million what more do you want?

[Lucidmantra]

yeah i guess leading the sales charts on the PC and 360 in the US and in Europe means it is a huge failure... Especially for a new IP.
I guess topping over Madden for the top spot in the 3 weeks that are traditionally dominated on all gaming formats by the Madden release is a horrible showing.

I guess the PC version not only having the regular but also the limited edition in the top 5 means it tanked hard....

[/logs off bizzaro world mmo and comes back to the real world]

That being said... Stop supporting corporate BS and shovelware and support companies out there bringing compelling and well developed titles to the market.

[lawman1108]

The game is SOLD OUT. How big of a hit are you looking for? What a tool

[ALIEN]

Now! we know the truth.

[castdreams]

Take that, Sony fanboys. Where the heck is larry007 now?

[lawman1108]

I guess he is working on what he is going to have to say about no PS3 price drop in Europe. Bet that will do wonders for Sonys numbers next month.

[g4n]

any s-s-shooter NOT on the PS3 is a good thing, leave that crap on the 360.

This game is rather low-class. You cant play in widescreen (4:3 only, last gen) you can only install it 2 times (there are much better ways to control copy rights, like GUID registration we are all familiar with on XP, IN 2001, again last gen) and worse of all, this game has you killing little girls http://n4g.com/News-62303.a... This game was MADE for the 360, its VERY last gen, and very low class. We don’t want this crap on the PS3. I wont even get a PC version due to their unrealistic copyright protection.

BIOCOCK = NO THANKS.

[Dr Pepper]

Why don't you actually try the game? I can tell by your comment that you haven't. You know, it didn't get all those awesome reviews for nothing.

[blackmagic]

Why don't you read the article for once? Levine addresses both the widescreen issue and the copyright issue competently.

What an embarrassment you are to the PS3 community.

[darkequitus]

I guess you are standing in for nasim/larry007

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

they are coming out with a patch for the screen thing. and they increased the install number to 5 nice try tho. any other reasons you have ?

[sjappie]

thanks for ruining the story for me @sshole. Not every one has finished it yet, at least put up a spoiler alert. F*ck!!

[jay3]

Don't worry he's lying.

[plastixblue]

Next time you are going to drop a spoiler...put a spoiler warning and put a real spoiler up...damn trying to get people not to play there highspeed?

[Ravenator529]

I don't know what else to say except, lol!

[sak500]

This idiot joined 7 days back. Guess nasim/larry/g4n same. Time to ignore this idiot as well.

[deadeyes99]

0

[godofthunder10]

people like this and other fanboys like him just acts like a damn kid,he's saying and trying to make himself belive his on stupid remarks.he's saying that the 360 is last gen,if that's true then why when a game comes out on both system,they always recomend that people buy the 360 version if they had both systems because they say that the 360 has better graphics and runs at 60 frs all the time unlike the ps3 wich runs at 30 frs some time .
i think that they are both good systems and they will be around for a while but it makes no since for people like this to make duma** remarks knowing that he's lieing,
he says that the 360 is last gen but bio-shock and halo 3 has the best graphics i've seen so far,now don't get me wrong i think that kz2 have one of the best graphics i've seen yet to but as far for mg4 i'm not keen on it i've played the mg games before and i hate them and you watch more then you play and the story doesn't make any sinc,and as for the graphics they are good but not the best that i've seen but unlike him i'll admit when a game has good graphics,i want say that the graphics sux when they don't just because i don't have that system that the game is on,the reason that he says it is because he's jealous that the ps3 doesn't have the game,i wish that the ps3 could have it and the 360 have kz2 because that's one game that i'll really like to play ,to bad that i want beable to play because it's only on the ps3 and that sux.

[Sphinx]

it's a really good game and I have enjoyed the crap out of it. It sucks that not everyone will be able to experience Bioshock. Oh well, makes me happy I have a 360.

[eLiNeS]

Everyone can enjoy it, they just need to buy a Xbox 360 or pick it up for there PC, easy as that. Jump In!

[Rooted_Dust]

He says there is nothing "insidious" in their copy-protection, it's the same as any other game that uses the same protection program.

You know what I've been playing PC games for a long time and I've never seen this level of brutal enforcement of Copyright protection. Also nothing is being overblown, these are real issues that should have been attended to before release. A mouse sensetivity fix would also be appreciated.

[Rooted_Dust]

I'm sorry whoever disagreed with me. Your right. These issues must all be in my head...r-tards.

[monkey602]

dont take it so hard man it seems there ar always people who click the disagree button for fun or just genuinely to pi$$ people off. it happens all of us

[Jdash24]

@whoever said this will stop the rumor........your dead wrong.......people are still going to speculate

like this they might say "oh hes just saying its not going to happen so they can surprise us with the ps3 version"

it wont stop

[cdawson]

lol @ typical fanboy response : "Who cares! I thought it sucked anyways!!"

[power of Green]

Thats the name of the games I was talking about in my post
#6 thanks man. LOL you use that fluke handling to assume every game can and will become multi platform lol.

[toughNAME]

look at these Sony boys
back pedaling as fast as they can!

EDIT - Biasmania, your one in a million buddy

[Biasmania]

It's sad that PS3 owners won't get this game, just as it's sad that 360 owners won't get MGS4. I'm a Sony owner and hell I'm a little upset to not get Bioshock, I really think it would be a good play through.

[ParaDise_LosT]

*SFX* WAH WAH WAAAAAAAAAAAH~~

[ALIEN]

This sh!@ ain't never gonna stop. Now that we know the truth, another flamewar is about to star. Im a fanboy too, but damn! some people are way 2 ignorant.

[marc 1975]

game of the decade just bought it love it 10 out of 10 defo

[solidt12]

As soon as the shareholders see how much money it is making on the 360 the developers are gonna be told to release it on the PS3.

[Juevani]

They'll confirm the oppesite once the game is realesed on the 360, they just dont want to ruin the launch day of the game, ever hurd of bussiness...

[Dr Pepper]

You know the game has already been released, right?

[Juevani]

couldnt careless, wasnt goin to buy the game anyway ;0)but bussiness is bussiness and 2K is lookin to make money not luv... na mean..

[CNIVEK]

Levine responds quite clearly, "I promise you, there is no secret plan about the PS3 that we're keeping from people. There's no PS3 development going on that we're hiding. There's lots of stuff that gets into game code, plans change over time and we got an exclusive deal with Microsoft ... that's not a Rosetta Stone discovery."

All you Sony fandroids saying sh1t like "This is coming to the PS3, and we'll get the better version" just got pwned BIG TIME.

[Loudninja]

Its funny, Kojima,said on videos, in interviews, and in news article that the game as PS3 exclusiv,but people still think its coming.Lots of hypocritical comments here, and it makes me sick to my stomach.

[blackmagic]

Well he was asked yesterday about the 360 rumour and this was his reply:

"right now we’re only making it for PS3. We don’t have a plan for Xbox 360 for now"
http://www.next-gen.biz/ind...

That is a VERY open ended answer and that is why the rumour persists. Levine's answer was clear, direct and to the point leaving no room for speculation.

[JokesOnYou]

loudninja every single time the devs themselves have been asked about the ps3 version, they have clearly and emphaticly said its NOT coming to the ps3, show me one quote from Levine or anybody on the Bioshock team that has hinted at a ps3 version or left the door open, right you can't all you have is rumors of dinner discussion, and stories that basicly say a little birdie told me it was coming to ps3= pure speculation.

On the other hand MGS4 rumors have a lil more creditability because of the things KONAMI SAYS, they are the ones where most of the direct speculation starts, remember podcast with one of the guys from Konami talking about how a 360 version wouldn't affect the ps3 version, then stuff from Konami who said before E3 they were considering their options and even after sony says they have a deal Konami has still made comments that leave the door open to the belief that its only timed exclusive, ha ha now Kojima himself wouldnt answer the question, and the guy he let answer the question basicly said

"right now we’re only making it for PS3. We don’t have a plan for Xbox 360 for now",=

You see what I mean now that actually supports what many rumors have said that there will be a 360 version released but Konami doesnt want to announce it prior to ps3 versions release. ha ha so why isnt Kojima or Konami coming forward with a clear statement NOW, like NO it will never be released on the 360, ha ha yeah I'm not saying the rumors are true but its very very likely theres going to be a future 360 version if Konami won't publicly make an official clear statement.= Like Levine has done.=

JOY

[lawman1108]

Came out for the xbox just released on the PS and PS2 first. If you ran that company and were looking at the numbers the 360 has over the PS3 how could you not put it out on that system? You would be retarted not to.

[Corrupt]

"Every MGS game
Came out for the xbox just released on the PS and PS2 first."
Um. How's that work?

MGS - PS2, PC, Remade for GameCube
MGS2 - PS2, PC, Ported to Xbox (Substance)
MGS3 - PS2 only

Do try researching before you post.

[Marceles]

Oh well, no Bioshock for the PS3, no Haze for the 360. Both systems are missing out on some good exclusives for each other. I thought I would regret buying all the systems this gen, but it doesn't look like the console war will be settled anytime soon, so no regrets at all. I'll be there when the smoke clears...

[rsebes]

Hey just for the record, good games for both sides! It helps the industry! Deal with it everyone.

[MetalNCarnet]

Um... Haze is coming to 360 early next year. Um....yea.

[monkey602]

sorry norad but last i heard haze was confirmed ps3 exclusive

EDIT: actually darx i was just referring to earlier. i was just browsing this site on my ps3 so i didnt bother reading the story i didnt realise it was a rumour. i appologise my bad

[darx]

Just want to be sure but the last time you heard, are you referring to the Rumor post earlier or do you have insider info?

[Marceles]

I referenced the "rumor" article when I said no Haze for the 360. It reminds me of that other rumor that got debunked about Halo not having 4-player co-op after all, and then Bungie confirmed it the same day. But still all I'm saying is that owning both systems wouldn't be a bad idea at least at this time. I admitted to liking Sony at the beginning and I had a PS3 since January. I just recently bought my 360 and I'm having fun on both. More fun on my 360 honestly and I'm surprised how much more I like the 360 than the first xbox, because I hated that system. But everyone is missing out if they don't get both systems by year-end.

[r1000]

i must say I Am dissapointed..... I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME..... !@#$%

[segasage]

I like going back and reading all the foolish comments..on the Rumor articles...

Bioshock PS3 2K Ignores Code Mention
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

What a cycle on News4Fanboys...

r1000 - Like MGS4 on 360 rumors, Get a 360 or beef up your PC rig..Hey at least you have a choice.

[power of Green]

Theres people in here still saying its coming to PS3 LOWL LOWL lol. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.sheewwwww!!!!!! ...

Whos talking about MGS4?.

[Bloodmask]

even think PS3 owners care about this game. I think they just don't want 360 to have any exclusives that might be good.

[monkey602]

not true dude. i really wanted this it is one of a few games that are making me want a 360 (Gears, dead rising, condemned) but now that this isnt coming to ps3 its another good reason for me to buy a 360 unfortunately i dont have enough reasons to justify spending more money yet (and please nobody bring up halo i'm not interested) but maybe i'll get one i have a wii too so a 360 is all i need for the ultimate setup

EDIT: thanks bloodmask its much appreciated.

[Bloodmask]

I respect your post. Bc you are A PS3 owner that can appreciate good games on other systems.. I was mostly referring to extremists in my comment. Bubble for you.

[rsebes]

Bloodmask I have to give you a bubble for giving a bubble to Monkey602. I respect the fact that you are able to respect a ps3 owner. As a ps3 owner I also enjoy games that are on 360, Gears, upcoming Halo 3. You just gotta pay respect for that kind of success. There need to be more people around that can see the great in both systems. Thank you.

[Chriswsm]

The PS3 owners can just get it on PC as I expect most have access to both. Even then lets wait until they sort out all their mistakes

[Lucidmantra]

come on thinking with your brain instead of thinking with whatever console you worship...

Thats insane... please take your common sense to some other place, we have no time for it, we need flamewars for everything not practical answers.

[/sarcasm off]

[Leg-End]

i bet ya

[killercam19]

where are the ps3 fanboys

[Rhezin]

HEY LARRY007 wtf are you at man and your big f!cking mouth!
This carries as much weight as mgs4 going to 360, never gonna happen. Well mgs4 might go to 360 because kojima wants that cash.

[monkey602]

i think its incredibly clear that kojima is not interested in xbox's cash and he doesnt want mgs4 on 360 now

[power of Green]

Its not only that its the technical aspect of the game they're using this game to say look the PS3 has this game too its as powerful as the 360.

#6.1, If I go into a shop and see a game that says only on PS3 I won't be holding my breath waiting for it to release on the 360 do you understand?.

[Ahhhh]

@g4n - You always make me giggle with your posts.. Your so immature... so stupid. =]

[makingdamage]

Oh well... U can´t have have everything. But sorry ms, I´m still not buying your "it-might-be-working" ;-console. I don´t have the time to play all the great games that´s are about to hit the ps3 soon so I think I can manage without this game even though it looks kind of cool.

[xTCx Death]

i was waiting for it the classic sony defense force statement when something doesnt go there way... UR console doesnt work lol. even though the reports on the new consoles are quiet stable. but ignore that. sheild your pain for not getting the best FPS(single player) since half-life 2. also id take bioshock over haze lol

[Numark]

these topics are always so funny. I am glad it is staying on 360, even though it doesn't really matter. I ended up not buying it even though the demo way amazing.

I only buy multiplayer or rpg games now.

[Biasmania]

Let me see if I read this correctly.... a game you care nothing about, and have no interest in buying. Instead of letting people who would love to play it and enjoy it, you would rather them not get it at all? Odd.

[jackfatal]

can i install the game with a crack? i so a crack somewhere so it ok if i install the game then crack it with a crack file?

[BlazinEurasian]

Only news that is the announcement of a confirmed port should be posted, all these rumors will confuse people who don't check n4g.com everyday. It will perpetuate false information.

[rowdy 1]

really kinda boring. Not as fun as Gears.

[Loudninja]

No Biosock on the PS3
No MGS4 on the 360

Thats just how it is guys.

[InMyOpinion]

Who needs Biosuck and Solid String anyways? Not me. I'm a new breed of fanboy. I'm against all consoles. Board games ftw! Halo 3 and Killzone 2 can't touch the graphics of Risk and Monopoly! We're talking real life 3D suxXxorzzz!

[The Real Joker]

This is what is nice about owning all three. I could care less which game comes out for 360 or PS3. The truth is I like games to come out for just one platform. I am glad MGS4 is coming solely to the Ps3 and I am glad Bioshock is 360/PC only. It allows devs to focus on a consoles strengths. I wish a lot of you had all three so there wouldn't be so much bickering on this site.

[power of Green]

Whats so hard to understand that that stamp is REPESENTIVE!!! of evclusive deals. LOWL please do not reply to me.

EDIT:

#49 says here we go again after bringing it up in the first place to spark the revenge issue to comfort himself about this one. lol

Dude is ass hurt he brings up MGS4 and says here we go again. BioShock is out so lets talk about that game.

[TheMART]

"we got an exclusive deal with Microsoft"

Thats the end of Bioshock on the PS3 there.

@ Loudninja

Too bad Konami didn't make the statement on MGS4 as above made for Bioshock. Heck, Kojiama can say whatever he wants, if Konami wants to bring MGS4 to the 360 (which is not paid by Sony to be exclusive), they can.

Even more fun, @ LGC Kojiama was asked the question again for the 360 version. He kindly asnwered that there were no plans YET, after that the public and the people of Konami started to laugh a bit which wasn't a good confirmation for Sony that'll stay exclusive if you ask me.

[Rhezin]

if it has the stamp be sure that it WON'T go to another console except of course PC because of Windows, like lost planet, gears of war, bioshock did. When's the last time and xbox or xbox 360 exclusive game went to the ps2 or ps3?

kOJIMA wants to make the most profit, he didn't make no deal with sony guranteeing exclusivity, may I remind you metal gear solid has been on xbox before. Bioshock is a new franchise that MS snagged at the right time, and now is exclusive to 360.

[Loudninja]

Just get over it, its not coming.SOny has a deal with Konmai, as they do MS do with Bioshiock.Really just get over it

[TheMART]

Dude, why would Kojiama then say himself @ LGC with the MGS4 presentation:

"There are no plans YET"????

If MGS4 would be 100% exclusive, he would have said so, don't you think so?

[Meus Renaissance]

This game runs beautifully on my PC the demo showed.

[Double-Edged]

if you don't have a 360.. you can always get a PC version.

simple as that.
Gamers don't lose.

[THAMMER1]

PS3 owners go buy War Hawk or Heavenly Sword and be happy. Madden 2008 is good too. Play games F**K the politics.

I bet you still have no buyer’s remorse… right? So that should be a good thing. Home is around the corner and decoration your digital apartments is going to be so cool you can taste it... right?

[Double-Edged]

I am nasim

[sajj316]

It is an exclusivity agreement. It will stay exclusive to the 360 until the agreement is over. This means that no one will confirm anything for any platform at this point in time. It might come to the PS3 but don't bank on it. MS is trying to establish its own franchises developed by third parties like the MGS and FF series for Sony

[super bill]

thank god for that.we don,t need a superb game like this on a secand rate console like the ps3.

[Jinxstar]

I posted this before and just wanted to clear up the big deal.

"I own it and see too many problems off the bat. So PS3 guys dont get your hopes up imo.

1. AI. I dont like the AI. For example the Collision detection is rediculous. Bots that you hack get in the way far too often and block you way too often. I end up shooting then down half the time cause the get between me and my target. Same with big daddies. If you walk through a door into a splicer and hes behind you your stuck. Getting pummeled by both. Even if you posess him.

2. Glitches. I have managed to get myself in places I cant get out of a few times. I had to die and go to a vita chamber to get out. Also killed a boss in an area I could not get to him to loot him.

3. Hacking. Its kinda a lame system imo. Should have done something cool and not that stupid repeatative mini game.

4. Environment. Not enough destruction. You cant break rails and stuff that you should. or at least dent trash cans with the wrench. Also having invisible walls in many places gets old.

5. Lag. I have had it lag on me a few times for example when I threw a cylinder at a security camera. I almost thought it froze on me for a second.

6. Replay value is not that high. Far to linear. Whoever compaired this game to oblivion is retarded.

7. It feels to me that when I beat the game I am gonna feel more of a "Finally" sensation then a "Wow" sensation.

Dont get me wrong its a good game and apart from the difficulty and some (Being nice) Control issues. I feel it has a very good story and some amazing environments. I feel they could use a little lighting but meh. Its supposed to be kinda dark. I just never liked that.

Thats all imo. I'm sure it will break hell lose and start falmes but over all I think it was way overhyped and didn't deserve almost perfect. Its good no doubt but not perfect by any means."

Since then I have beat the game. I still stand by everything and think it had a great story.... Thats it really. I mean really is it that bad that we PS3 owners dont get it? Its not that good even if it were timed. We get UT3 first. I have been looking more forward to that anyway... We also get more for it...

[jay3]

You know why that is right?

Because you're a fanboy.

Go play Motorstorm or something, we don't need you here.

[Jinxstar]

Fanboy huh? I guess that makes you totally un biased.

dude I liked Bioshock. It does not deserve near perfect though. The fact that I own all 3 systems and play 360 more then PS3 atm means I am a PS3 fanboy huh? Your an idiot jay. Don't judge people without knowing them. It is an opinion and doesn't make a difference to me what platform it comes out on. I get to play it either way. If it came to PS3 would it change. Probably not... Don't be a tool. I don't care for you calling me out when all I do is say what others have thought of the game. Its good. Not perfect. Not something to go out and buy a 360 for. The thing is that game would have made a much better book imo then a game.

[RINGOFDEATH]

Haze looks awesome.

[Violater]

Fanboys weep/rejoice

I am ready for the day when youll know if its coming to your console because it was released at the same time as all the other console versions. Its forgivable for now that ps3 gets things late because devs are learning how to work it. but i hope by the end of next year that they are either simultaneously releasing or not releasing at all. That would put an end to the suspense and rumors. Although this game will sell well and it reviews well...i dont think we are going to see a huge boost in 360 sales and a huge decline in ps3 sales.

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

I'll just go over to my brothers house and check it out there. :)

[acetw1n]

lets pour one out for biocock

[dangerstepp]

I told you so.

Too bad Sony kids are missing out. It's a gorgeous game and I believe it's my favorite.

In the meantime.. I look next to my 360 at my lonely PS3 and just wonder why I did it.

[otherZinc]

BIOSHOCK is an undisputed great game, Im more partial to the 360, but if BIOSHOCK was only on the PS3, you could bet your life I would have a PS3 tonight!

Great games should not be missed if you are a true gamer. Back in the days I loved SEGA GENESIS but I purchased a SNES just for CONTRA 3 ALIEN WARS. Now thats a gamer. Later on I purchased other things for the SNES, but CONTRA started it.

Also, I had CONTRA for the GENESIS, that was different from the SNES version.

[FirstknighT]

I guess the sony boys are complaining once again. This is one of the greatest games ever created. Yet they praise Lair and Heavenly Sword like it's the second coming of Christ but recent reviews have crapped all over them. It's pretty obvious that sony boys have low standards.

Another exclusive for the 360! :)

[neil1988]

ahahahah por por playstation 3 fans i knew bioshock would only be on the xbox360

[jlytle1234]

its not exclusive if its on the pc unless you say console exclusive. but who doesnt have a pc. even still, you wont be talking about bioshock in two months. its the end of the year and quality games are just going to keep rolling out. ill be playing warhawk next week and loving every minute.

[ktchong]

We won! We won!

:p

[SabreMan]

it's not coming to the ps3 which is a disappointment as i am a ps3 owner however i have a high end gaming pc as well so it's not all bad. a great game is a great game regardless of which hardware it runs on and Bioshock IS a great game, people who feel they must defend there console of choice with stupid comments and brag x is not coming to y just makes me laugh and highlights how sad certain people are.

get a grip people or indeed get a life

it's the games not the console they run on that matters

[SorenK]

It's a shame that Sony-only console owners will miss out on this game because it is a fantastic game. I was honestly hoping that it would get a good port because it is so good it deserves to get as much recognition as possible. Every hardcore gamer needs to give this game a try, be it for the pc or 360. This has honestly been the best game I have played in a long time (and that includes Gears, FFXII, LoZ:TP, and GoW).

that's my 2 cents

[ktchong]

Levine responds quite clearly, "I promise you, there is no secret plan about the PS3 that we're keeping from people. There's no PS3 development going on that we're hiding. There's lots of stuff that gets into game code, plans change over time and WE GOT AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH MICROSOFT ... that's not a Rosetta Stone discovery."

[PS360PCROCKS]

Well their ya go.

[snittolo]

Kinda had a feeling it wasnt going to be out for the PS3 because I guess they had a special deal with M$uck to keep it exclusive.

[Z501]

If you can afford a PS3,you surely can afford a 360.It's all about what "you" want.

[daghost1125]

the dam box cover clearly say' (only on xbox 360 and windows) and all you ps3 morons are making retard comments like it coming to ps3 and will get the better version. My favorite is they have to make for the ps3 because of dissapointing sales.Well sorry to have your bubble bursted there's nothing even in devlopment looks like you still gotta wait till next year play any decent games....

[Zhuk]

Bioshock Game Of The Year only on Xbox 360 and Windows PC

[SabreMan]

someone else who can see into the future

i expect the game of the year for both the 360 and the pc will be announced strangely "at the end of the year" once all the games for this year have been released.

game of the year ?? a bold statement it's good yes but is it great ??

i'll reserve my judgment on that until i have completed it

[i rule]

this wont stop rumors though. for the rest of the consoles life cycle they will drag this rumor up at least once every 6 months. How sad pathetic and lame!

[Covenant]

Here's my guess:

It was originally coded for multiple systems (PS3, 360), but became a 360/PC exclusive later. Was there a payoff, as some have alleged? Or did it just happen that way?

Levine's not really answering the question, so all we have is speculation.

[ktchong]

Levine responds quite clearly, "We got an exclusive deal with Microsoft."

What more do you want?

[Covenant]

I saw that, but my question is, why? Why 360/PC exclusive when there appears to have been some initial thought towards a PS3 version?

Point taken, tho. But it still leaves some questions unanswered.

BTW, thank you for offering a differing opinion w/o resorting to negative feedback.

ha ha I bet sony kids wish Kojima's latest answer to the MGS4 rumor was as clear as this one.=

JOY

[SabreMan]

i own a ps3 so i am a Sony Kid

ok fair enough i guess i'm a pc kid or a Sega kid sod it i must be a Ford kid to, can i be as many kids as i want or is it exclusive to Sony
i just need to clear that up before i buy anything else as i'm going food shopping tomorrow.

may i ask one question "how old are you" my guesstimate not very

get a grip

[Wii60_FTW]

And if not, then why won't Kojima just come right out and say so like Ken just did? LOL. Poor sony zombies. If I didn't hate them so much, I might actually feel bad for them! LOL

[s8anicslayer]

Too bad for people who only own the ps3, this game is kick arss!

[xg-ei8ht]

I don't think that statement means much tbh, No Game stays on one system forever, unless the console maker owns the i.p.

And lets be truthfull here, it is a very sweet game, i was suprised by it as vids i'd seen made it look run of the mill etc.

Atm he is of course staying faithful to the ppl that have payed them, i.e microsoft.

It'll probably be released on ps3 next year.

And while i feel sorry for ps3 owners, i'm sure many ppl will be playing via pc.

A dual core and 7800gtx run this game fine.

And to buy both these products is pretty cheap now.

[UltramanJ]

The PS3 can't handle Bioshock comment= Mommy won't let me have another console besides my 360 so I'll just have to put down the PS3 to make me feel good about myself.

-The xbox 360 doesn't handle Lindbergh arcade titles as well as pS3
-Virtua fighter 5 won't have online play
-only 3% of Xbox 360 hardware has been defective

I posted the above to demonstrate the outright lies I've already heard this generation. I'm sure there's plenty more, but the point is that I still believe Bioshock is just a timed exclusive for the 360 and will see a PS3 release as well. There's no benefit for 2K games in not releasing it to the PS3, especially when you factor in their current financial situation.

[Ahhhh]

@Numark - You do realize this is a FPS shooter not an RPG right? And no, it doesn't have multi player. But it doesn't need it, imo.
@Rowdy 1 - Play it on hard.. You won't get bored. Unless you die all the time that is.
UltramanJ - I don't think they need to release it on PS3, besides a lot of PS3 fan boys diss this game(cause it's not on PS3) and say something stupid like "Leave all that FPS crap on the 360." Sooooo, unless it's in the stores on the shelves in a PS3 CASE. Just please don't open your mouth anymore.. your degrading a game that's GREAT and your just making your self look like an immature 5 year old girl and embarrassing all the "good" PS3 fans.

[UltramanJ]

A couple of things here; First off, do you think for a moment that 2K games is going to look at these message boards and say, "Well, we can't release a PS3 version because the PS3 fans are dissing Bioshock"? Yeah, that'll happen alright. Next up, I'd like to remind you that the comments section is a place to voice your opinion on something. If you have such a problem with others speculating that a PS3 version will happen then maybe you should leave the N4G comments section alone. You claimed that I was "degrading" Bioshock. I'm not sure what your reading level is, but perhaps you can place my degrading remarks in quotes for me, because I must've missed that part when I typed my comment. Finally, you claim that I'm giving the "good" Sony fans a bad name? If by "good" you mean the "Xsux 180 is teh crap consul" crowd, then yeah, I guess I am giving them a bad name by not lowering myself to their level. That also lumps me into the "sony fan" crowd that you're apparently a member of. That's fine if you want to be labeled in such a manner, but I prefer not to be as I'm a gamer, not a cheerleader for billion dollar companies. Have a nice day.

[Lex Luthor]

The game is 360/pc confirmed exclusive now, please lets drop this subject now.

[Lex Luthor]

LMAO!!! the excuses from sony fanboys in order to justify this game not comming out on ps3 are hilarious.

[Lex Luthor]

I wonder what sony protection group's reaction will be like since they wrote that hilarious bioshock review(5/10) and said they can't wait for the "superior" Ps3 version. LMFAO!!!!

Owned!!!

[DuceWilly947]

is hilarious , and the fact that lex hadd to write 3 post in 5 secs is too

YOU think ppl with ps3 (me) care?, no wee're too busy thinking about aug. 28th when 360 gets pwned

[ukilnme]

why post? I see this type of thing from both MS and Sony fans. Just play the games you like and be done with it.

[Wii60_FTW]

If you really think PS3 will EVER have anything going for it that's anywhere near as good as what's on 360, YOU'RE the one who's sad. GTFO.

[rsebes]

On August 28th... I have to agree with you on that one. Its gonna be a great day. I think i'm gonna wait up all night and wait for the download to show up for Warhawk. No waiting in line at Gamestop. yeah...

[Wii60_FTW]

What...are people still b*tching about the design of the game? They designed it to be immersive with that set FOV in widescreen. They don't need to "fix" it with a patch. The game was designed that way on purpose and is quite amazing because of it. Are people really this stupid? Get over it.

[deadeyes99]

i'm so glad I have a pc and 360, sucks to be a ps3 fanboy right about now.

[ParaDise_LosT]

I'm Glad Irrational knows how to stomp out rumors......

[Juevani]

the funny thing here is PS3 fans dont give a sh1t about 360 games, but the bots are dyin to put their green hands on our exclusives, hahaha, dont even denie it, ya now I bet they'll start cryin if 2K comes out and announce a PS3 version of the game.. next will be Halo (when ms fail and all 360s break) which is not far away ;0)

[iceice123]

Bioshock multiplatform! Alan Wake multiplatform (even though M$ is publishing!) Masseffect multiplatform (Even though M$ is publishing!) I think there's another one I'm missing in there... Anyway, sites are ony saying MGS4, which has a damn good chance of going multi anyway. You want our superior games, it's okay to admit it :) I can't imagine how much of an erection halo gives you =)

[Juevani]

never played it and never liked it, and why should I when I got KZ2,MGS4,Haze,UT3,The Getaway,GT5,FF13,Metro2033,Age ncy,Heavenly Sword,Lair,Warhawk,Wardevil,Go d Of War,White Knight,R:Rise of Man,Motorstorm2,Exclusive online Fifa mode (world cup) that should hold for 2 years.. what u got?? Halo 2.1 and Mass Effect which look like a bad copy of Star Wars?? or Boiwack??

Not gonna sitt here and waist my time.. Got some GRAW2 *the supperior version ;0)* killing to do..

[godofthunder10]

the ps3 don't have any good games to be jealous of and the games that';s on both system looks better on the 360 and the 360 runs at 60 frs not 30 like the ps3 do at times.if anything sony fanboys are the ones that's jealouse because all they have is a $600 paperweight and i keep reading people like you talking about all the games that the ps3 will have but most of the games that they mention will be on the 360 to like ur3,haze,and white night and some others, and they also mention lair and a few other games wich every time i read about them they are giving them a bad revew like 4 or 5 out of ten and that's not good,but the funnist thing that i've read from sony fanjerks is when they say that halo3,bio-shock,and mass effect graphics sux and they look loke graphics from a regular xbox,well sony fanjerks must be blind because they said that the ps2 graphics was better then the xbox graphics and everybody knew that was a lie to

[7ero H3LL]

if you want bioshock chose wisely 360 or pc.

[SonyFANBOY]

Microsoft know that their Box 360 sucks that's why They buy exclusives all the times.

"One time Microsoft ask Capcom to make an exclusive game just for the Box 360 and Capcom say straight up to Microsoft's face that They don't make exclusive." what a put down by Capcom LOLOL..

Sony don't buy exclusives like Microsoft. Sony say gamers and developers choose what they feel or like the best.

Sony will bust Microsoft hard on the long run.

Box 360 is the console that will be outdated in the next 2 years.

Box 360 isn't selling good at all. Microsoft's Box 360 just slowly making little sales.

Crysis coming to Playstation 3.

Playstation 3 is the most powerful console and been awarded for their great work. cell proccessor and rsx graphic card. can't be that power!!

[godofthunder10]

you pick the right name for you sonyfanboy because you are the biggest sonyfanboy on the board,and saying noyhin but bullsh*t because

1-if the 360 isn't hardly selling then the ps3 mustn't be selling at all because the 360 out sold the ps3 this month and is ahead of the ps3 by about 5 million units and that's a fact.

2-you say that the 360 will be outdated in two years,well i don't know what planet you are from,but where i'm from you could buy the top of the line computer and it's outdated in 1 to 2 years and that includes every electronic even the ps3 will be outdated in a few years

3-sony already made one remark that they will have a ps4

4-so far all the graphics looks better on the 360

5-the 360 runs at 60frs not 30 like the ps3 do sometimes

6-the 360 has better and more games then the ps3.

7-programers said that they want be able to use the full power of the ps3 because of the way that sony built it.

8-and in 3 years when the new 360 comes out,sony will have to make a new ps for sure because the 360 will be a lot more powerful then the ps3 by far,why,use common since,these days the tecnology advances a lot quicker then they did when the ps2 first came out

9-i bet any amout you want that they will have a ps4 in 5 years

so grow up and stop acting like a spoil kid,it's people like you that lives in the U.S and buy japanese products and hope that an american company loose is the reason the U.S is in the shape it's in now,but the japanese must be right,they are smarter then us because they refuse to buy american products even if it's 10 times better then a product from japan,the reason is because they keep their money in their economy unlike some americans who buy japanese or other foreign products and send their money over seas to help another economy instead of helping the U.S economy,and now japan is the richest country in the world ,it use to be the U.S.we better wake up now before our great grand kids are under the rule of japan because japan owns at least a quarter of the U.S maybe more because of all of this sh*t and if i was president i wouldn't allow their products to be sold over hear because they was and still is stoping a lot of american products from being sold in japan.

[PimpHandHappy]

i have played the game for around 5 hours at my buddys house and i do enjoy this game!

but

its a FPS without online play so i wouldnt buy it anyway! Its a great example of what a FPS can be but im not the biggest fan of that style of game unless i can give a shot at killing ppl online!

Still a great game and i have had my fill at my friends house!

[Saint Sony]

Not a surprise, PS3 gets nothing good.

[leinadem2]

with all the bad reviews for PS3 games coming out for the next months and the lack of good games I am going to sell my PS3 and buy a X360 and a copy of bioshock. I am tired of wating for the good games.

[gEnKiE]

try the games out for yourself idiot. just dont go on reviews....i really dont understand people these days.....

[gEnKiE]

thats what i got a pc for :)

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

OK whats wrong with someone not liking Bioshock? I tried it on my High End PC. While it is nice I didn't not like it. Its just not my style of game. I don't like "similar" games like HL FEAR Condemned. I just prefer taking up a frag em all FPS like Quake 3 UT2004 or/and a Tactical Shooter War/Swat FPS like GRAW (Even though 3rd Person) R6 Vegas, SWAT4 Lets not forget online matches with my clan on BF2, BF2142, DOD:S, CS:S

Also PC Issues are not overblown. You better fix them! Hell even one of the most buggy released game ever I saw (BF2142) didn't have so much issues!

[THAMMER1]

You people’s ignorant comments and backpedaling are just disgusting. Stop misrepresenting the Playstation.

You people are pushing me away from the PS3 more than the crusty and questionable games catalog. Please stop.

[i rule]

you will here every sony extremist talk about how it sucks. its overrated etc.. at the same time i expect at least 10 online petitions begging for this game.

[Cat]

the information coming from camp bioshock is so contradictory. i hope levine is telling the truth about the patch, but i'll believe it when i have it. this whole widescreen nonsense really makes me think they're another bunch of lazy devs, and even if it's on the unreal engine (a big source of all the ps3 rumours) i don't think they'll put in the effort to bring it to the ps3.

[SonyFANBOY]

Microsoft's Box 360 indeed will lose the war console no matter what, they had have has not chances. Try so hard but still sales little and little as time passing away.

Sony Playstation 3 rules..........!!!!!!!!

Microsoft must have pay Huge huge amount of money for exclusives. Microsoft try to win everything. That ain't going to happen. Their products suck and lack.

Japanese don't like Box 360 even Microsoft give it to them.
