PS3 BioShock's 'survivor mode' finally explained

After revealing special Trophies a couple days ago for the "survivor mode" in PS3's port of BioShock, developer 2K Marin finally saw fit yesterday to explain what the new setting is all about. The wait was definitely not worth it as the PS3 "exclusive" mode isn't much more than a very hard difficulty level for the game.

was anyone else hoping that survivor mode was some way, shape or form of multiplayer?

This game better be $40 at launch. Theres no way I'm paying $60 for a year old PORT, when I get the same exact game (minus Survivor Mode oh-noes) on the PC for $30.

If this is all 2k Marin and company add in the PS3 version, I'm personally cool with that. I might be in the minority here, but I've never played BioShock. On that note, I want to see what all the fuss is about and why this game got several Game of the Year accolades on 360.

Bioshock was one of the best game last year. It was the best game I personally played last year. But the redesign the Big Daddies, and add other features as well.

i've played it, and my one argument is that it eventually ends (but you'll probably beat it atleast twice)

2.3 - I played it on the Hardest setting...
And I had planned to play it again when released on PS3 so a harder play mode is welcomed by me.

Also the Hard setting of the original release wasn't really hard at all once you get further into the game.

I could not have said it better. A game like this is worth the wait. I have it on 360 and is one of the best games I have played this gen.

heres my recccomendation:
buy LBP and socom, and rent bioshock......socom will last ALOT longer than bioshock in terms of play time

bioshock= 20 hour story mode
socom= days and days worth of play time

and lets not forget Resistance 2 is coming only a month after:)

Socom is priority for me. It has been since the PS3 came out. I will just have to make enough to get them all though.

Fable 2 aside, I don't see anything on the xbox 360 this year that competes with what Sony is offering. Nintendo is in a distant 3rd with quality software to drive the wii at best.

Resistance 2
Little Big Planet
Socom
Wipeout HD <december
Bio Shock <1st time ps3 only owners get their hands on it
Motorstorm 2

And a few others here and there. I don't see this quality out of the other 2 at this stage. We have good games out right now for the xbox 360, but aside from Fable 2 and Gears 2, I'm not seeing a break thru holiday for them.

What does anything you have to say have to do with this article? That and why are you desperately trying to get more bubbles? Last I checked you're some crazed fanboy who had no bubbles, got there bubbles back up, went on a fanboy spree, got there bubbles taken away, got knocked to the open zone with 1 bubble, and now you're back here trying to get more bubbles back? So what you can go on your fanboy sprees again? Bubbles down for you my friend.

---------------

But anyway I'm going to pass on this game, came out on the 360, played the demo, didn't really like it like idk, just didn't hook me in, so with it coming out on the PS3, no reason for me to get it if I didnt like it on the 360 lol. Seems like a good game though, but just not for me for some reason.

This is the internet. Even if Shiggy died tomorrow and there a tribute article the comments section of the article would probably be half full of ps3<360 comments.

Another stupid reactionary BULL article from joystick who seem to completely ignore this statement made very clearly:

"Today we have another update on some of that new content: BioShock PS3 will have a new, harder difficulty called Survivor Mode."

Its just another difficulty level, and its just one bit of the 'new content' that this version can expect.

If this were all, I'd be disapointed. But it isn't. So Joystick are turds! Discuss :)

I did love this title on 360, so I'm pretty sure I'll have another blaze through Rapture if they make enough differences for me! Anyone who hasn't played it, deserves too - its a great game.

9 - So many great game coming out later this year.
I too am looking forward to trying this game (finally). I've heard so many great things about it, and not just around it's original release time. A game must be really great to continually get high praise months or years after it's release.
