Venom Games set to close

CVG says Venom Games (due to close soon) was asked to handle the PS3 version of BioShock (to be released at the same time as the 360 version) but its coders said it wasn't possible.

It is whatever it is. No need to flame. Can't change the past. :)

That's the entire premise of the Terminator films.

Well, apart from the third one, which sucked apart from the final scene.

How do you actually feel about this statement? I think it was money that changed the platform personally. My point is, it's no need to flame something that has already past. Bioshock is coming to PS3 RELOADED, end of discussion.

Montrealien5779d ago (Edited 5779d ago )

eagle is so defensive, it is funny. I saw T3 and it was stronger then me, I love Arnold quotes, was not aimed at you, you comment is correct, but it is like saying water is wet, no need to tell you I like getting wet,we all know it is wet.

And the first response was to you saying (Can't change the past) take the flame shield down.

and where's your PSN Eagle? where is it?!?!? where is it?!?!? I'm a loser that needs friends, RawR...lol

I call this BS

it was $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

we know that and we accepted it

great game, I bought it for 360 a year ago and I know many friends who are getting the PS3 version

Fragking285779d ago

bs it wasnt money, why in the hell do people refuse to give msoft credit in anything they do. THey make xbox 360 a good platform with tons of great games but people say they only have a couple of good games.

They make their system developer friendly compared to sony who took the other route so when a multiplat performs dont make it to ps3 as fast as 360 they claim msoft paid them off.( Yes they payoff some companies for games but only about 4 games got this treatment no every other game). Or if a game like gta is identical on both platforms, the xbox is holding the game back.

So can we please at logical with these post and stop spewwing anti microsoft every. Siht the world cant function with msoft right now cause if windows were to suddenly cease to exist it would be catastropic for everyone.

proArchy5779d ago

You're darn tootin' it was money. 2k gave them the assignment to code the ps3 version, Venom said it wasn't possible. 2k trusted them, took their word for it, and decided not to throw money at a black hole. Turns out they were wrong though, and now we get our PS3 version! YAY!!

Daver5779d ago

@2.1

People dont give credit to Microsoft because they dont merit it...This is what they usually do, pay for things, and over bid to be sure that theres no one else getting it for a while or a period of time..
I dont have anything against xbox, but i hate that sh!tty american company behind it, i hate the way they act, or the people at head of it, i dont know, i just prefer any other company if i have the choice
Thats my opinion btw :)

IdleLeeSiuLung5779d ago

MS has done a lot of things right, while they still get sh!t thrown a them. Sure, they aren't perfect, but for some reason this hatred towards them is very strong especially in other parts of the world than the US.

For some odd reason Sony and Nintendo has such strong brand power.

@2.3:

That certainly is your opinion, but they way I see it is Nintendo just about killed the hardcore gaming industry. Everybody is now going for shovelware to the masses on the Wii. There aren't too many games that I play or are interrested in, but Zak&Wiki, Okami and No More Heroes. There are literally no 3rd party quality games. To top it off they have a long history of locking out or treating 3rd partys badly.

Sony constantly blatant lies and arrogance. Remember when Sony said PS3 backwards compatibility is important? Or when nobody wants rumble? Sure, Sony has greatly improved since the PS3's poor reception, but a lot leaves to be desired.

Guess what, I own all 3 consoles! Of the three, I use my 360 the most, have the largest game library and get the cheapest games.

thewhoopimen5779d ago

Maybe you two should go read some history about Microsoft's exploits before shooting your ignorant mouths off. Microsoft's exploited many companies including blackmailing PC manufacturers to boycott Nestcape, "borrowing" Apple's prototype Mac Plus for windows, and turning their back on IBM and pirating Lotus Works to turn into MS Office. This Silicon Valley company's story isn't exactly as spotless as you think they are. You kids make me laugh defending MS. I am sure you'd be very happy too if you came up with some revolutionary software and MS stole it under your nose, using alot of cash and their 30+ lawyers. Marc Andereesson was 23 when that happened to him (co-founder of netscape).

They weren't willing to put forth the effort? Money talks ladies and gents....money talks.

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.

FallenAngel1984389d 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_Sakai389d ago

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

IamTylerDurden1389d ago (Edited 389d 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-inferno388d 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.

IamTylerDurden1389d ago (Edited 389d 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-Dude388d 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.

Storm23389d 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...

IamTylerDurden1389d ago (Edited 389d 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.

Binarycode387d 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.

-Foxtrot389d 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

Aussiesummer389d ago

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