and cue Nasim and/or veryangry xbot.

Make sure to :
Mention Unreal Engine 3
Call me an Xbot at least 3 times
Randomly capitalise some words
Mention KZ2 or any other game you haven't played yet.
Mention sales figures even though they don't pertain to the story
Tell everyone your expectations for next week on how the Ps3 will outsell the 360 37:1 and how it's dead in all territories

Veryangry_bot6449d ago

Its getting old how you constantly call everyone "Nasim".

Get a fking clue, stupid idiot.

Second of all, I dont give a fk about Bioshock. Especially not a demo.

So how bout you suck on that Balmer schlong some more. He aint hiring some f4g right now because of the hiring freeze but dont let that stop you from doing what you do best.

karlostomy6449d ago

Still, can't blame him.. after bioflop ps3...

:(

DavidMacDougall6449d ago

I played your level on LBP it was boring

zimbo0076449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

BIOSHOCK has come to PS3

thats what matters

It was the only game on X360 worth getting and it is now on PS3

Hatena compared pictures where there are no major differences

We mention KZ2 cuz any x360 game look like a wii game vs KZ2

We mention sales cuz PS3 beats x360 in WW sales

We mention UT3 cuz it runs bad on PS3

We mention PORT cuz Bioshock was ported from x360 to PS3

Montrealien6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

In my opinion It was the only game on X360 worth getting and it is now on PS3.

In my opinion Hatena compared pictures where there are no major differences

We mention KZ2 cuz in my opinion any x360 game looks like a wii game vs KZ2.

We mention sales cuz we are brand whore losers that actually give a f*ck if PS3 beats x360 in WW sales, only brand whores would.

We mention UT3 cuz it runs bad on PS3

We mention PORT cuz Bioshock was ported from x360 to PS3.

/fixed :D

even with the crappy textures the game plays well, just be happy some people that only have a PS3 can enjoy this great game. that's all that really matters.

play_b3yond6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

I said it once and I'm saying it again.
When it comes to killzone 2 all the xbox fanboys say games are all about gameplay and story not graphics and now they are all whining because some websites say the game looks slightly better on 360. You people just make me laugh.

Anton Chigurh6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

@ nasim

YOu fail !!!

kimi_maro306448d ago

the demo is good the only bad in that demo is the big daddy"s corpse with a pixelated armor and other texture and graphics is the same with 360 so why all of u 360 fanboys mark it as a flop and remember it is a demo not the full game

Quickstrike6448d ago

Holy sh** hell ya so true :)
I've been saying that Demo =/= final game and the bots lol so hard their 360 gets RRoD

This is not worth $60, please think twice before purchase.
This crappy for cash porting game business is got to stop!
Either make an exact copy, make it better or dont charge full price.

Tidus116449d ago

Yea after the demo and all the good games coming out this month, I think I'll just rent it.... I hate rewarding lazy devolpers with my hard earned cash.

dro6449d ago

i have been saying this since and i will say it again, bioshock will not sell well. look at lost planet for example;when it was relased on the 360 it sold a decent amount but after they ported it to the ps3 later on (i think like a year later;correct me if im wrong) it sold crap. most ps3 owners e.g me will not be bying this game, i have games like R2,lbp,motorstorm2,the AMAZING good looking wipeout hd ..e.t.c to play so y would i go and pay £45 for a game that came out last year... (-_-) (just download it for free on your pc,dont blame me blame the people that do piracy!!!) we all use pc to to log into n4g so no one can say that they dont have a pc :/

Real Gambler6449d ago

Why would you pay twice the price when it's selling for $29.99 regular price, and will likely be on sale pretty soon????

DavidMacDougall6449d ago

Yeah i was going to get it but if they aint going to put the work in i might not bother

solar6449d ago

you can pick the game up for $19.99 on Steam. i laugh in the face of anyone who pays $59.99.

Bnet3436449d ago

Xbox 360 version is not as cheap as the PC version. It's $36.99, but that's cheaper then the PS3 version.

http://www.amazon.com/BioSh...

Man, I don't understand why people jump the gun. "OMG!111 BioShock PS3 will look the best out of all!!1111" Then you get shot down. It's not worth it guys. Don't set yourselves up.

PS3PWNSALL6449d ago

@dro - "so y would i go and pay £45 for a game that came out last year"

Because you don't have it yet! It's a great game! Why not buy it!?

PS3Freak6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

I work at rogers and we have the 360 version on sale for 29.99.. i dunno where u buy games but you should look into going somewhere else.
EDIT: i see you go to amazon..... apparently they have bad prices.

theEnemy6449d ago

As what we have seen in the demo, this is not worth $60.

With only a few weeks away from release date(Oct 17 and 21) they should work 24/7 in order to fix those crappy textures and remove the blur effect or whatever they call it.

If they don't, Bioshock(PS3) will be obliterated by other PS3 exclusives and AAA multiplat games in Sales.

I hope they will somehow pull this off, I want to play Bioshock on my preferred console.

Oh btw, customizable controls or some control settings to choose from is welcome.

GL 2K.

Montrealien6449d ago

pfff, any person whole claims to be, or wanst to be a gaming journalist and uses the word Flop in his title, fails at it incredibly. This is nothing but an amateur looking for some traffic.

lowcarb6449d ago

You guys are all retarded seriously if you think Bioshock is not worth a purchase simply because the PS3 and it's limitations. LBP doesn't appeal to everyone and will get boring quick, RFOM2 is nothing more then a generic want to be Halo console shooter, Socom has it's faithful and won't push consoles, but Bioshock is the real deal and is going to be the hottest game on PS3 this holiday. You do have to remember that when the demo launched on 360 the game looked totally different after it was released. My 1st impression was the enemies looked like plastic but when the actual game released they had bumped it up quite a bit. You Sony fanboys go ahead and keep writing your tomb because eventually every game is going to start it's life on 360 and 720 and make ps3 and ps4 nothing more then a port monster..

sak5006449d ago

@dro " i have games like R2,lbp,motorstorm2,the AMAZING good looking wipeout hd ..e.t.c to play"

Care to let us have your reviews of the above games. Do you have a gaming website where you can get all the unreleased games long before they even go golden?

ON TOPIC: For God's sake be thankful you get at least port of Bioshock. Check the reviewers, gamers, critcs view of the game from last year. Had 2K not done the ps3 iteration than you guys would again be calling them lazy and stuff. Can't u get it in your minds that ps3 is hard to develop even if the devs like Ubi, Valve and 2k are trying to bring the franchise, its looking more of challenge than its worth it.

You guys just want to complain about everything, go complain to sony for once for blindsiding you with a bluray player dressed up as a gaming console.

And if you're so worried about spending your $60 on this than save up another 130$ and pick up a 360 console and pick up used copy of bishock.

callahan096449d ago

Aaah the demo was plenty good. I liked it and I already beat the game on the 360. I'd play through the game again on the PS3 just because it's a fun one with trophies and I don't have many of them.

r2kcipher6449d ago

i didn't notice any of these visual issues.. not saying they don't exist.. but personally i thought the controls were horrid, the gameplay doesn't appeal to me as much as i thought, and i felt like i was watching someones acid trip..

the game is not worth $60! imo

whoelse6449d ago

Chances are they will soon reduce the price to a more respectable price.

eagle216449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

It's pretty obvious that Too Human is "garbage" on 360. And Mass Effect can't run properly on 360. Who is to blame? :)

IaMs126448d ago

This is a game worth 60 bucks when it first comes out, since it is already been out (Xbox and PC) for a year now it should start at 40. But with all the other games coming out like LBP, and Gears 2, this will be low priority considering it is an older game.

outlawlife6448d ago

you do realize too human doesn't run on unreal right?

jwatt6448d ago

I think there are alot of people who only own a ps3 who may pick this game up. I played the demo and it played well and I think the only people who will think it's a flop are fanboys and people interested in the console war. Everyone else will actually enjoy the game but if your a dual console owner you should have already played this game.

LONEWOLF2316448d ago

lowcarb

I pity you especially if you actually believe the cr@p you say.

nanometric6448d ago

Eemm, is it just me or Bioshock costs only 30 quid?

http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/A...

izaiazofnazareth6448d ago

im getting this game because i always wanted to have it and its gonna be home compatible and have trophies. i love it. any1 who says otherwise is just cheap.

Ateanboy6448d ago

Seriously...

This game got so hyped and got so many good remarks when it came out on the Xbox 360 that I was actually a little excited about it coming out on the PS3 too.

I played the demo last night, and the game is "meh" at best.

The demo starts from the beginning of the story, and I didn't feel angaged at all. I wasn't feeling it. I stopped playing before the demo finished.

It isn't even the fact that it's a port or has worse textures... It's just the fact that it's a SUCKY game!

I understand that it would get praised while on the Xbox 360, but that's because the Xbox 360 doesn't have many good games! That's gotta be why it was considered so good!!!

Cause in reality, this game is mediocre at best...

Jake11116448d ago

I own both the 360 and PS3. I finished bioshock on the 360 and thought it was a good game for that system. Does it compare to Sonys exlusives?? Not even close....

Would I buy it for PS3??? Not a chance. Even if the graphics were solid at 1080p I wouldnt waste any cash on it?

Why?

The game cant compete with the exclusives the PS3 is releases these next 8 months.

LBP
SOCOM
RFOM2
KZ2

Why waste your cash on a crappy port of a mediocure game when you have AAA games that are developed to take advantage of the PS3??

In my opinion, Sony is coming out with enough exlusives to not even consider the crappy ports of mediocure Xbox360 games.

I am actually selling my 360. It has been a coffee holder since Warhawk, Drakes, R&C and MGSIV came out on PS3.

Cheeseknight286448d ago

"I understand that it would get praised while on the Xbox 360, but that's because the Xbox 360 doesn't have many good games! That's gotta be why it was considered so good!!!"

God you're a moron. Did you not realize that this game got equally high remarks on the PC? Do you not realize that the PS3 has just as many garbage games as the 360? Are you that deluded? Go to gamerankings, look at the top 10 PS3 and 360 games - 360 is 92% and up, while PS3 is 87% and up. That's where your precious console sits.

I enjoy the PS3 and 360 equally - and Bioshock was easily my favorite game last year, the only games that came close were Super Mario Galaxy and Orange Box. I'm just glad I don't have to put up with such single minded fanboy trash such as yourself on a daily basis - I would probably go berserk.

Oh, and I love how this site thinks Bioshock is gonna be a huge flop when it's not even out yet. Not even Lair or Too Human got doomsday articles this early, most people were fairly optimistic about them. Perhaps people just want to complain about something?

UnasFortuna6448d ago

This is truly disappointing that they could not have put out a better version or even an equal one. The textures I saw in the demo are not as bad as those I have seen on the web pictures; but they are not close to the 360 version. It really is a shame for this was a very good game for the 360 and would have made a great addition to the PS3 library. Will probably just rent it for the trophies and not buy it as planned previously. All in all though... I would recommend any ps3 users who have not played it on the 360 to at least rent it to give it a go for it is a great game despite some minor texture issues.

La Chance6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

PS3 gamers get it one full year after everyone moreover it doesnt look and run as well as on the 360 or PC...

T2 should have kept it exclusive and start working on Bioshock 2 rather than waisting a year and money getting a crappy port to PS3.

I wonder if Bioshock 2 will be coming to PS3 if Bioshock flops.They had enough trouble getting it to run on PS3 and 360 version alone one is enough of a succes.

The funny thing is on N4G ps3 gamers always brag about how they play all 360 exclusives on PC...guess they were lying.

dro6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

bioshock 2 will be coming to the ps3 even tho part 1 might floped, sales of a game that is relased at lunch with other consoles will sell more of a port that came out a year later... :/ use ur brain(not in a rude way ;D)!!!

La Chance6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

talking about sales of Bioshock 2 on PS3 I was talking about all the hassle , time and money they would need to get it on par with the 360 version.They had one full year to get Bioshock 1 on par and they couldnt.They might just want skip the PS3 alltogether like EA did for that RTS game(cant remeber the name , dont care about it.).Or it might be a timed exclusive again like what Atari did for Alone in the Dark.

Dark General6449d ago

I think there's a difference here though La Chance. BioShock is a year old and i'm pretty sure you lower sells expectations a bit on games that comes out a year later on any platform. Specially big caliber games. It's always been that way pretty much. But at least with them releasing a Ps3 title they have some experience working with the Ps3 which should make a easier transition to making more titles on the Ps3 in the future.

I think it's just getting over the initial development hurdles at first for new hardware. If BioShock 2 comes to Ps3 it should be a much easier job since they have experience now working on the Ps3.

sak5006449d ago

Nice points Lachance bubbles.

I suggest they do not let the BS2 suffer cuz of ps3. We are already seeing a worse sequel of Saint's Row now because of it becoming a multiplatform.

DiabloRising6448d ago

Weird Sak, when I say the same thing about FFXIII being held back on the PS3 because of a 360 edition, I get jumped on. Fact is, there is only x amount of dev time, things WILL be cut now that its going multiplatform. Pity, BS2 and FFXIII could be amazing if they focus on a single system.

power of Green 6448d ago

Saint's Row 2 looks like sh*t because of the devs catering to PS3's capabilites, looks like an Xbox game.

I can't see BS2 being inferior to the first one either.

There's obviously not enough stories about the PS3 demo being made of absolute fail.

morganfell6449d ago

The Xbox crowd are now down to throwing the kitchen sink at the fact they lost an exclusive. As I said, if it was missing levels, or the areas were trimmed, or it ran at 15 frames a second then I could see these comments. Instead all of this just reeks of the most desperate bunch of losers I have ever seen.

karlostomy6449d ago

between now and the actual release they fix up the game on ps3.

Otherwise I fear for the mental health of the SDF.....

La Chance6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

sorry man but the losers are the ones who boycott a company , put up petitions, quit gaming alltogether and commit suicide when there electronic gaming machine that has no emotions loses an exclusive (that happened for almost every ps3 exclusive lost).

juuken6449d ago (Edited 6449d ago )

It's beyond pathetic, that's what it is.

Oh wow, let's repeatedly bash a port that has a few graphical flaws!

It's not the PS3 itself. It stems from lazy developers who want the cash but don't want to work hard enough for it.

And nice going LaChance. Jump on the PS3 hate campaign wagon why dontcha.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

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

toxic-inferno304d ago

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.

Furesis303d 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-inferno303d 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.

ActualWhiteMan303d ago

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

Rebel_Scum303d ago

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

Michiel1989303d ago

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

-Foxtrot303d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77303d 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_Bomb303d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya303d ago (Edited 303d 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-PANGPANG303d 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.

porkChop676d 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_drake676d 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

TheNamelessOne676d 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.

badkolo675d ago
