BioShock coming to iPhone

Mobile games publisher IG Fun has confirmed it plans to release a version of BioShock for Apple's iPhone. The company bagged the mobile rights to the FPS earlier this year, but it was thought it would only be a BREW and Java game. However, IG Fun's CEO says it's also heading to iPhone and Symbian handsets, while also showing Pocket Gamer a non-interactive demo of the game running in its BREW version. The 3D graphics are impressive, but it remains unclear whether the controls will work well, and if it can possibly bring BioShock's atmosphere to the small screen.

What's next? BioShock Wii?

BioShock 2 will definitely be multi-platform.

If it's coming out on the iPhone, it might as well come out for the Wii, DS and PSP too. However, I can't really visualize an experience like BioShock on an iPhone. We'll just have to wait and see how the pull it off, if they pull it off at all.

BioShock runs on Unreal Engine 3, and Unreal Engine 3 does not support Wii.

Please no. I mean I love my DS, but the experience would be completely ruinned unless they manage to pull a Zelda

Bring the iPhone over to Verizon and I'll buy Bioshock. I hate phone exclusive agreements and $hitty phone locks. The game will look better than if they brought it over to the DS. Being as how Bioshock is coming to PS3, they should release it on PSP; I'd hit that.

HeroOfCows6605d ago

Well, games made for the iPhone would work for the iPod Touch, wouldn't they? I always thought that they were the same exact technology, just without the phone capabilities.

I wonder what it will be like?

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
