This leads me onto the next topic. With all this support it seems that the studio are getting on well with PS3, so will Bioshock 2 be a simultaneous launch?

*Hear's cue and come's running*

HELL YEAH 360 SUCKS,BIO2 GOING MULTI FOR SURREEE!!!

no but in all seriousness,it wouldnt surprise me if it did.

pow3r of t3h c3ll6434d ago

I may have clicked disagree cow moolester but yes you are technically correct LOL

Seraphemz6434d ago

If it does happen, will it be as huge as Final Fantasy going to XBOX?

I mean I know that BIOSHOCK is already coming, but SIMULTANEOUS seems a bit more serious than getting it almost a year later.

Mr_cheese6434d ago

I wouldn't say as big as FF, that was a Sony franchise for years, so pritty big effect when it comes to both. I would say its more of a UT3 or something along that line.

FreeMonk6434d ago

hopefully it will arrive on both consoles at the same time. Everyone, just like Final Fantasy 13, deserves to play a class A game like the Bioshock series.

It's a shame when you are restricted to games just because of the desision of your purchase of choice.

More than likely though, with Microsoft they way they are, there will some sort of 6 month exclusivity to Bioshock 2. They probably had something in place since the original Bioshock.

I'm sure we'll all find out soon enough!!

MazzingerZ6434d ago (Edited 6434d ago )

Not really, Bioshock didn't even released exclusively on the X360 as there was a PC version too and now a PS3 version as well...so we are not talking about a exclusive franchise during years completely identify with MSFT like for example Halo....and now Gears

Bioshock 2 is now in sale as a time-exclusive to the best bidder (only MSFT will pay for that, already did probably)...I'm sure Bioshock 2 will release first on the X360 and then on the PS3.

I don't see any impact on PS3 sales because of that....FFXIII on the X360 will neither have any big impact on PS3 sales, great adquisition for X360 owners but people getting a console to play FFXIII is getting a PS3 anyway...why?

because if you like FF then you are hardcore gamer = well informed about other games coming to PS3 = well informed about X360 version being a PC port = You've enjoyed FF games on PS why to try anything else = You know any potential exclusive XBL DLC is just BS like GTAIV's...isn't? no one knows yet what it is or if it will come out...only an idiot would buy a console for DLC that no one knows what it will be.

kazuma6434d ago

someone forgot to put this on the PC section, cause that's where i'm playing bioshock 2

Spydr076434d ago

No where near as big as FF...Bioshock didn't even sell 2 million.

Jamaicangmr6434d ago

Are you sure i could've sworn that i saw somewhere that it sold 2.2million.

dkgshiz6434d ago

Why wouldn't it? I mean the 1st one is, so is the 2nd one.

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis211d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno211d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan210d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum210d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989210d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot210d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77210d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb210d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG210d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast581d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai583d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken581d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop583d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake583d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne583d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo582d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia583d ago (Edited 583d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
