1up preview: Bioshock

1up writes: Even if you don't own an Xbox 360, you've no doubt heard of 2K Boston's (née Irrational Games) first-person masterpiece BioShock. Sony diehards who've refused to taint their homes with Microsoft's console finally have a chance to play this instant shooter classic on their preferred platform, so I've taken the time to capture video of the PS3 experience...and my general BioShock ineptitude.

Xbxo 360 version seems a bit brighter and more aliased. The Ps3 version is a tad darker with a few more jaggies to it and the texture detail on the hand is much better on the xbox 360 version going off the vids; if you ask me.

CViper6452d ago

Jaggies - Can't tell because of compression, but the 360 lines for windows are just as chattery as the ps3 side.

Textures - Ps3 hands down. Look at the detail of the city buildings vs the 360's textureless backgrounds. The 360 is also tearing like no tomorrow to try to keep the framerate stable, where as the Ps3 side isn't suffering from that.

Sligon, imwith you on so many things bro.. but this time you are just dead wrong.

PimpHandStrong6452d ago

dude listen to yourself!!!!

texture on the hand is much better?!?!?!

i bet you something

When i play this game on my 1080p TV with the HDMI hook up it will be better looking then 90% of the ppl who played this game on a 360 on a non HD TV with component cables

see what i did there

bet u do

GameOn6452d ago

Who cares. The only real difference is the extra content.

Silogon6452d ago

I'm sure all the games I play with my rig, much like yourself, look better than 80% of what people play on their xbox 360's and ps3's, man. Most people don't adjust or take the time to tweak their setups to get the best displays. Most people just stick the game in and play it or hook their systems up and go.

Me, I'm a different person. I like to know I am getting the absolute best quality outof each game and or console. that's why when I see these comparisons "by and large" I laugh cause my Ps3 games never look anything like them. They look 2 folds better, easly.

Now, with me saying the xbox 360 version seemed to have beter textures and less aliasing; maybe you all are right. I couldn't really be 100% sure with how small it was, but I did post my opinions and they are probably wrong. We'll see... I think Bio shock was an amazing game on the xbox 360 and will no doubt transfer over very well to the Ps3. I'm buying it no doubt.

GameOn6452d ago

But you can only play through it so many times.
It really needs some sort of survival mode.

Sir, you're an idiot, sorry.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade

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.

Furesis282d 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-inferno282d 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.

ActualWhiteMan281d ago

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

Rebel_Scum281d ago

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

Michiel1989281d ago

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

-Foxtrot281d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77281d 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_Bomb281d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya281d ago (Edited 281d 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-PANGPANG281d 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.

anast652d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai654d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken652d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop654d 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_drake654d 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

TheNamelessOne654d 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.

badkolo653d ago

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

Knightofelemia654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

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