Console Updates: "Somewhere Beyond the Sea?
Ok well two days ago i downloaded BioShocks Demo for the PlayStation 3 and from here on out i want to let every reader know that i have played BioShock 4 days straight on the Xbox 360 when it was released first on Normal and then on Hard and i managed to get 900GS out of it and the graphics and loading times were superb. Now having said that the playstation 3 demo version plays just like the xbox 360s demo so there will be no fanboying around here, I actually re-downloaded the 360's demo so i can do a side by side before writing this "review" so that everything will be equal."
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Gareth, Justin, and Michael at Skewed and Reviewed look at timely and topical entertainment news on their latest show including the latest video game movie and news of another in the works.
Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
I think that's a fair review.
And yes pog it is widely known sony uses more ram for the os.
Something like 40mb more.
But considering how much the system does other then games, it's not that bad.
On the texture side of things, yes it should look better.
and needs more af.
x2 blu-ray is slower then dvd@dvd's fastest read speed. But overall it's not alot. I think you've goto remember blu-ray is newer and holds 50gb. Dvd's started slower and in time became what they are today.
But you've goto admit some devs are better then others.
If you look at gt5p, there isn't a cleaner game out there. crisp as hell.
Btw i already played bioshock on pc, and got the good ending:) My brother got the bad one:)
I'm sure some of this will be fixed.
But tbh, i'm surprised with the amount of games coming out for the ps3, and there are some big ones, that they are rushing to release before any of those.
Big mistake.
Since I've been posting comments on this website, I've seen nothing but endless comments by 360 fanboys ranting on and desperately trying to convince everyone that the PS3 not the graphical and powerful beast of console machine is presents itself to be. Whats wrong with you guys, are so insecure about your purchase you have to keep stressing that PS3 technology is overhyped to justify your purchase of a 360 over the PS3? Well just give up the ghost man! The PS3 has already proved it can outperform the 360 in the quality and graphics of it's exclusive games - just look at the top PS3 excluisves such as:
Unchartered - The textures and detail of the environments just gleam with graphical realism. The water effects are simply the most realistic and stunning you will ever see on a console yet.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - You all know this. Another exclusive title with stunning cinematic-style graphics, visual detail, sound and effects.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - The cars can only be described as phot-realistic looking. You would have thought you was watching car racing on a real TV if you knew nothing about video games!
Killzone 2 - Right now it is looking INCREDIBLE even though it ain out yet.
These games all display stunning graphics and special effects that the 360 is clearly not capable of producing. Most of the good multi-platform titles like COD4, DMC4, GTA 4, Oblivion, and Burnout now are either equal or even better on the PS3 (as those games stated have proved). YES sometimes there some multi-plat titles that look better on the 360, but it does NOT make it better than the PS3. Some developers choose the 360 as a lead platform and now thats changing from what I see. The 360 is still a great machine but it is not as powerful as the PS3, SO STOP FOOLING YOURSELVES! FACTS IS FACTS. I'm a PS3 owner and Sony fan but I dont always feel the need to bash the 360 to justify my purchase. I'm happy with my PS3 and you guys should be equally happy with your 360 without the need for any of us to bash each other's console's to make ourselves feel secure and justified about our purchase and console of choice.
@ Siligon and Road Rage the message for you guys is that simple - IF YOU DONT LIKE THE PS3 AND YOU BELIEVE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY, THEN DONT BUY ONE. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY IT, NOR IS ANYONE EAGER TO HEAR WHY YOU CHOOSE TO BUY A 360. YOU DONT NEED TO JUSTIFY YOUR PREFERENCE OF 360 TO US. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE PS3, THEN DONT BUY, AND DONT COMPLAIN!
I don't want 'BioShock', i just want 'LBP'!!! ;-P
+Resistance 2 + MotorStorm 2:Pacific Rift + WipeOut HD
(Which all Look better than BioShock on the xBox 360 + PS3 Version...Not PS3's fault)
+Shame 'BioShock' don't have 'KillZone 2' graphics???
If 'KillZone 2' can look AMAZING, why does 'BioShock' just look NON-Amazing(It looks NON-Amazing on the xBox 360 to!!!) ;-D
+The Demo was ok tho. Liked the Story and you did feel like you was underwater to!!! SPOOKY!!! ;-D
I don't really want out-of date looking P.C er erm xBox 360 games on my PS3 really!!! ;-D
