Good news, PS3 gamers. 2K Games will be rolling out a patch in response to the graphical issues brought up against the Big Daddy textures in the PS3 version of BioShock (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).
This was announced by 2K Community Manager Elizabeth on the official 2K forums today. The patch will fix two issues:

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.
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.
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.
"Remaster them again if you have to"
Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled
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.
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.
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.

Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.
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.
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
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.
its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
To bad the reviews won't get the patches boom another bad bad port.
Muuuuch better, picken this one up for sure, ive been waiting too long to hold back now
Its been stated by Elizabeth that there is a slight blur effect that is utilized to optimize performance for the PS3, though I think it was blown out of proportion by many gamers who were playing the demo in 1080p, which looks much blurier than played at 720p,
Take a look at "Royal Bear's" post midway down the page
http://forums.2kgames.com/f...
I have the demo running at 720p and it looks just like his 2nd picture which is great, the 1080p picture looks like that resolution needs the patch the most, but im sure this will all get taken care of a little after the release, even though this should have been caught by the development team long ago
Has anyone else had the results that Royal Bear and I have had with the demo running at 720p? I think the game looks pretty great.
If and this is a big if, I'm going to buy this cause I absolutley love the gameplay in the Ps3 version. It's so smooth and direct. The xbox 360 version feels slugish and dull in comparison. It has the graphics, yes... but the Ps3's controller, and the frame rate is stellar.
At least they are fixing it.
That shows that they care for quality unlike bad port jobs.
...companies should really run some Quality Assurance tests on their products before mass production.
I would expect as much since we are paying 60$(GBP~EURO Equivalent) and the this game is single player only.
