Rumor Control: Bioshock For PS3 (Spring 2008?)

The Tengu Restaurant was the site of lively conversation tonight, and like any lively conversation, there are some bits that are worth repeating

PSU learned while talking to developers at the dinner that Bioshock, the game that won the 2007 Game Critics Award for Best Action game, will be coming to the PS3 sometime in the near future.

There was positive discussion almost to the point of confirmation that this title would hit for the PlayStation 3 next spring. While there have been various sources since X06 that claimed a PS3 version was in development, it would seem not a question of whether it's true at this point, but when it will happen. Despite PSU's confidence in the integrity of their information however, PSU must emphasize that this is still a rumor, and Take Two has not officially confirmed this with us yet.

1.2 - Idiot.Why would I sell my 360

cause games are going multiplatform? Does it make my 360 not able to play those games?
Great idea degenerate, I'll sell my 360 and wait till spring next year to play Bioshock(if this news is true). Yes, you guys love to wait.
RRRRROOODDDDD HAHAHAHA!!! simpletons.

Achira; it still makes no sense to sell my 360. If I want to play exclusive ps3 games I'll buy a ps3 to go with it. Why sell it and wait till next year to play a game wich probably will be better on 360. I would never want to miss out on xbox live with all it's community features, I hate the ps3 controller and the fact that it has no rumble. It's 360 all the way for me.
Besides ps3 hasn't got one exclusive game I wan't to play, so please stop with your childish fanboy behavior, ps3 lost a lot of exclusives to 360, but I'm not saying you should sell your ps3.

Lolz, your logic is flawed. Most people are either console gamers or PC gamers. I for example am strictly a console gamer. I want to play Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc. on my TV in my living room. Regardless of whether PS3 gets Bioshock or not, the 360 has the games that I want to play, more so than the PS3.

I'm sure I already heard this on a podcast or something (1up maybe), basically they asked the developers and the devs replied "we can't talk about the PS3 version of Bioshock yet", which basically confirms that it is ocming to PS3 and when asked why they said something about Microsoft helping them out a lot.

1.7 - Bye..

You don't really have a PS3. If you did, you be ecstatic of this news, if true. I've said long before that it was still gonna be on the PS3. I even had news posts approved over this and then bashed by xbots. It is just a timed-exclusive. Of course MS tried to make it sound like it was completely exclusive. It's business. Just as Sony is putting a lot of emphasis on "UT3 and Haze coming this winter exclusively". When said like that, it is kind of foreshadowed and can be misleading. Which is good for business. Except it has been made perfectly clear about those two, instead of BioShock. MS are making sure it has at least been released before others find out that it is multiplatform. BioShock is just one more game keeping 360's selling and MS will do w/e it takes to keep it this way. I remember that podcast, gaffyh, and that was all the more reason for me to believe this. That guy's sort of "You got me in a corner and I must think fast" statement of how MS has been a real help or w/e when asked about why they won't talk of the PS3 version was a hint at how they are being kept under wraps about it. Nonetheless, I can wait for BioShock. There are so many games coming out for PS3 with a steady pace in the coming months and I'm gonna be forking out a lot of money in the end as it is.

I'd like to play Mass Effect... but we'll be able to play that on pc within a year anyway. Also, no publisher has been announced yet on Mass Effect 2 & 3 guys... Microsoft does not own Bioware, so they COULD make the 2nd and 3rd games for whoever they wanted to. However, their PS3 game is an all new title from what they've said so far.

As for Too Human... why would anyone want to play that game?! Haven't you seen the gameplay vids?! GFX look good but the combat looks horrible.

A publisher often gets to keep the rights to an IP created by the developer. FEAR is the first game that comes to mind, as does Max Payne, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Gears of War, and enough others to make me think that's likely the case with Mass Effect as well.

@ Mercenary

I preordered the game from Best Buy 3 days ago, and the preorder box has the only on 360 tag on it.

Anyway, I already preordered it for 360, so even if it does go to PS3, it wouldn't matter. I normally get multiplatform shooters for my 360 because of rumble. Action games (DMC4) on PS3 because I don't like the 360 controller when it comes to the action genre.

A bubble for you!! LOL that was the best thing I have read in ages!!!

The delaystation yep you heard it here first folks might get the game just like it got Oblivion around what a year later? And even then the game was a mess since it was on the disc TWICE! And to get better loading times you had to install over 4gb of the game! Graphics were terrible though the faces, colours were disgusting.

But meh that goes for all the ports from the 360 to the PS3.

The funny thing this generation is that Xbox 360 gamers get the best first and they dont have to wait half a year to a year for a port.

Welcome to Delaystation this is living ;-)

not to rain on your bizarrely sexual parade...but every single source reviewing the PS3 version of Oblivion named it the best looking of the 3 versions...it was the only PS3 game that got the needed extra attention during the wait...

and think about what you jackasses are saying...your supposed delaystation has more timed exlusives this fall than the 360 does...and more games being the lead platform...this is the opposite of the launch title porting that sucked a year ago...

UT3 and Haze will not be on the 360 until who knows when...and yet because you get Bioshock first, you claim "everything to go to the 360 before being ported to the PS3"...idiots...

""And even then the game was a mess since it was on the disc TWICE! And to get better loading times you had to install over 4gb of the game! Graphics were terrible though the faces, colours were disgusting.""

Have you actually played Oblivion on the PS3. It lookes awesome compared to the 360. It is one of the multiplats that do look and play better on the PS3.

Whats wrong with installing 4GB they would have done that on the 360 if they could, it makes the game play alot smoother as Cyrodil is so vast that it was constantly accessing the DVD drive on the 360 to load new scenery, this meant jerky and clunky gameplay.. Whereas on the PS3 the game accesses the harddrive making a smoother (and quieter) experiance all round.

Further more I think you will find that most reviewers of this game will say that the PS3 version is more sharp, has better textures, fewer bugs, faster load times and overall is more polished. Just goes to show what extra time spent on tweaking can do.

It will probably be at 1080p on the 360. Always nice to have the option but I prefer 720p because you generaly get a smoother frame rate IMO. I would agree with this going multi platform just because EVERYONE needs to play this game!

10 - 1080p? HAHAHAHA

No seriously there is nothing amazing about 1080p.

There is a minimal difference on a 40inch but a slight better difference on a 52inch like the ones my parents own in the living room. However again the jump from 720p/1080i to 1080p? Hardly worth it.

I find it amusing how many people get all hyped up about 1080p - it was something Sony started mouthing off and guess what? Most of their games are only 720p! Even most of their online content is only 720p!

Oh and if you select 1080p it says FULL HD hahaha what idiots.

Your post started well.. But then turned into mindless Sony bashing dribble towards the end.

Its true, to fully appreciate 1080p you would need a 50inch+ TV. 42inch or below you probebly wont notice much difference unless your sat 2 feet away from the TV.

PS3 fanboys - ROFL OMG MEGA LOLZ! SILLY XBOT! YOU NEVER GET PS3 FTW!

PS3 fanboys - BIOSHOCK COMING TO PS3! People were talking about it!

360 fanboys - No. Just, no. Not gonna happen. (Bit more mature than the Gaystation gang, no? With the exception of a good few to come i'm sure though)

Until this is confirmed, everyone should just wait patiently.
