PS3 BioShock Apparently Looks BioShitty: 2K Responds to 'Bioshock' PS3 Pixel Problem

Jamie Foxx - 439 days 5 hours ago

i would say its the old,overused unreal3 engine for bioshocks problems but then mirrors edge etc run perfectly so it must be 2k not getting used to the ps3 architecture which is a shame

"Push the game back and ask Sony to open up their pockets for more dev time. All I gotta say cause this is junk bunk."

what the hell man?

are you that obsessed with a game that's been out for over a year now?

get it on the PC and be done with it man give it a rest jeez. I've played it on the 360 AND PC so maybe I'm just used to Bioshock but seriously its a fantastic game but not the end and be all of games now that Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Crysis, Cod 4, MGS4, Uncharted etc. and shooters of the like are coming out.

So please Silogon, we all know that UE3 and PC code ports don't do well with the complex cell architecture, thats why we get ultra-realistic games like Gran Turismo, Killzone 2 and the like specifically designed for the PS3.

It's come out for the PS3, which a few months ago was impossible to many but it is, so just be happy with that. It's a port from PC code running on the UE3 engine and it's old news, so please, just give it a rest.

You have 2 bubbles for a reason.

Get the Textures right; the PS3's fall lineup is too strong, and this game will get crushed like HAZE did if it's not up to par. I so far only saw a few flubs, but if they can iron it out before the due date, then fine; if not, release it in '09, because that'll give some relief to out pocketbooks this winter, and we'll have a better game for it.

Look at those same textures in the Xbox 360 version, they are exactly the same, no difference. you can BS all you want, all the texturs are the same except for the Big Daddy textures, which anybody with half a mind would know that the extremely low rez Big Daddy textures were put in by mistake.

Indeed, i'm quite impressed with the level of effort you put into your blog. I'm quite jealous, to be honest.

Of course, I have my own reservations concerning your "PS3 review"; however, I was too enthralled mulling over the suprising wit and pacing, by which you constructed your argument. A job well done sir, and bubbles.

Your user bio is equally humorous, by the way. Hopefully, we'll debate soon.

First off, I don't intend to offend anyone. Secondly, I've been a member here for over a year, I hardly ever post. Maybe I'm from the video game golden era or something, but things just don't seem right anymore. I grew up playing classic action/adventure/rpg games: Rygar, Metal Gear, Goonies 2, Zelda, Metroid, Bionic Commando, Sonic, almost every game you can mention from Castlevania to Super Mario Bros. I had most of the systems, NES, SNES & Genesis. Great games are great games, no matter what system they're on. Why is it that almost every other game has to be a first person shooter nowadays? I think the genre is good, but personally I've never taken a liking to them. Back in the days since Operation Wolf, FPS's were never my cup of tea. I'm not knocking FPS's, I just wanna know where are the good 'ol adventure games hiding at? There are plenty of AAA FPS's out there, don't get me wrong. I think developers should look back to the 8-bit & 16-bit libraries to see why the industry is as large as it is now. I speak as an adult gamer/consumer, I just want good games. I'm very tired of stuff that looks extra pretty, but plays extra ugly. They've become too pre-occupied in worrying how games look, instead of they play. Or as the case with the oversaturated FPS genre, developers put out a game that's very successful & they flood the market with reiterations of the same style of game. Damn near every coming soon hyped, anticipated game is a FPS. Like I said from the start, I mean FPS fans no harm. FPS's have actually grown on me a little bit, but still, I wish they'd stop forcing them on us. Give us a little more diversity, like we used to have it. Please, don't think I'm bashing FPS games. I probably never mentioned before that I own FPS's. I have way too many games, but never play them. I gave Resistance some play, Halo 2, Hitman 2, & Call Of Duty 4. I must now admit that, I can easily see for myself why this genre is so popular nowadays. The stories and the games themselves overall, were great. I think it's better for me to say that I just don't like the first person camera view. I can only imagine what those games would be like in third person. I wish developers would add a camera view option (ie. Hitman series). Maybe I'm being greedy! Lol Lol. But seriously though, an optional 3rd Person View would be a great way to introduce these good games to a broader audience, that otherwise wouldn't play them because we dislike the 1st person camera view.

Guys, it's the Unreal Engine 3. It sucks on the PS3. It was designed for DirectX, and all games ported with it suffer from poor framerates and awful texture problems. That isn't opinion, it's fact. Wait for better games which have real effort put into the PS3 architecture-wise and play BioShock on the PC/360 (preferably PC).

It's a dynamic IP (DHCP) you are using, and many people overlap and use the same IP

one of the reasons it is very hard to track people on torrents is because of this

it is a safety measure for you and you just got a banned IP from someone else not behaving on the forums

go to your network unplug your router reset make sure your IP is different

Like I said in another post they would only use one set of textures to represent the Big Daddy character thats why all the Big Daddy's look the same. The Kitchen textures are exactly the same in both versions, the carpet textures are exactly the same, the stair textures are exactly the same there all exactly the same on both systems except for the Big Daddy textures, and those were obviously a mistake.

Wow all the jealous people where saying see its coming to ps3! Hurray. Now that it does like multiplatform games do on ps3(have inferrior graphics and frame rates and AI) they are saying it's not that great except on 360! Why was it game of the year for ALL systems? Why did it barely just make 1 million sold on 360 if it is the best game there? Why are there many games with many times more sales than bioshock on 360? Just get the game and don't sacrifice yourself this time. Did you not get madden? NBA? hockey? assasins creed? Call of duty 4, GTA IV? blah blah blah? Well they had the same issues so if you are missing out your just hurting the sales of the ps3 not of 360. In fact your hurting chances of more games going ps3 if they have to develop for a extra year and then dont get enough sales. This game barely sold 1 million on 360 it sold about the same amount on pc so it is critical that ps3 fans buy this. Or we will have another standard. It has to sell more than a million on 360 to be profitable to translate to ps3 (according to Konamis numbers).

If better graphics > more content, the PS3 version of GTAIV is better than the 360 version, lol.

Many sites agreed on this, and being an owner of both consoles (and seeing both GTAIV versions) I can confirm this as well.

So I guess if you wanna apply a double standard to make the 360 library look better your logic works.
