Rumour: BioShock A Lock For PS3

Irrational Games' sci-fi RPG shooter looks like it may be making its way to the PLAYSTATION 3, according to the all things PlayStation blog ThreeSpeech. In today's update on upcoming PS3 software, author Steve Boxer namechecks BioShock as one of the console's "promised future delights." So... confirmed? I stand behind a firm "maybe."

The game is still listed as only appearing on the Xbox 360 and PC at 2K Games' BioShock page and the title has been called an "Xbox 360 exclusive" in the past, a claim the official Xbox site does not make for the game. We'll keep our digits crossed in hopes that ThreeSpeech knows what they're talking about.

UPDATE: 2K reps just contacted Kotaku to let us know "BioShock is exclusive to Xbox360 and PC Games for Windows."

2k games is in trouble..I said it earlier this week....and it was orginally planed for ps3 anyway

techie6908d ago (Edited 6908d ago )

Not duplicate :) read the bottom of the article ;)

SPAM? This is an article from Kotaku saying that Bioshock is a 360 exclsuive after a response from taketwo themselves.

I try to find the best news :( and it just gets thrown back at me :,( boo hoo lol approve it already...the only article to actually shut up threespeech and their silly musings. DO IT!

techie6908d ago

the reason this should be posted is so it can shut up the rumours because it's the only article that has an update from taketwo! Yet nobody wants to know...especially the 360'ers. I don't understand why that's so...

BlackIceJoe6908d ago (Edited 6908d ago )

I keep hearing more about this rumor and wonder if there is any truth to it. May be it Bioshock is a timed exclusive. Plus like DAverage said 2K is in trouble and you would wonder why they would not want to get some extra money unless MS payed some big money for the game. I for one would like this rumor to end up true. But if not I can fall back and get the game on the 360 instead.

techie6908d ago (Edited 6908d ago )

Oh we can all have a nice discussion over tea and joints if y'all would just approve it :)

joints as in lamb or beef...

Sexius Maximus6908d ago

Anything can be discussed over tea and joints.

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.

Furesis216d 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-inferno216d 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.

ActualWhiteMan215d ago

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

Rebel_Scum215d ago

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

Michiel1989215d ago

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

-Foxtrot215d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77216d 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_Bomb215d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya215d ago (Edited 215d 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-PANGPANG215d 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.

anast586d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai588d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken586d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop588d 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_drake588d 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

TheNamelessOne588d 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.

badkolo587d ago

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

Knightofelemia588d ago (Edited 588d ago )

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