Rumor Control: Bioshock For PS3 (Spring 2008?)

The Tengu Restaurant was the site of lively conversation tonight, and like any lively conversation, there are some bits that are worth repeating

PSU learned while talking to developers at the dinner that Bioshock, the game that won the 2007 Game Critics Award for Best Action game, will be coming to the PS3 sometime in the near future.

There was positive discussion almost to the point of confirmation that this title would hit for the PlayStation 3 next spring. While there have been various sources since X06 that claimed a PS3 version was in development, it would seem not a question of whether it's true at this point, but when it will happen. Despite PSU's confidence in the integrity of their information however, PSU must emphasize that this is still a rumor, and Take Two has not officially confirmed this with us yet.

krackchap6840d ago

All x360 exclusive titles are coming to one platform or the other,either a console or a PC.
even live arcade titles are going *cough geometry wars*
xbots i say it again do yourselves a favour sell your consoles till you guys have the warranty and get your selves a PS3,Wii and a PC.

achira6840d ago (Edited 6840d ago )

i dont get it too. what is the sense of a xbox360 ? ahh... RRRRROOOOODDDD.

edit: sorry could not resist.
edit: sajape, no the point is, you can play all xbox360 games on ps3 or pc, but the ps3 games you can only play on ps3, thats the point.

sjappie6840d ago (Edited 6840d ago )

cause games are going multiplatform? Does it make my 360 not able to play those games?
Great idea degenerate, I'll sell my 360 and wait till spring next year to play Bioshock(if this news is true). Yes, you guys love to wait.
RRRRROOODDDDD HAHAHAHA!!! simpletons.

Achira; it still makes no sense to sell my 360. If I want to play exclusive ps3 games I'll buy a ps3 to go with it. Why sell it and wait till next year to play a game wich probably will be better on 360. I would never want to miss out on xbox live with all it's community features, I hate the ps3 controller and the fact that it has no rumble. It's 360 all the way for me.
Besides ps3 hasn't got one exclusive game I wan't to play, so please stop with your childish fanboy behavior, ps3 lost a lot of exclusives to 360, but I'm not saying you should sell your ps3.

AngryTypingGuy6840d ago

Lolz, your logic is flawed. Most people are either console gamers or PC gamers. I for example am strictly a console gamer. I want to play Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc. on my TV in my living room. Regardless of whether PS3 gets Bioshock or not, the 360 has the games that I want to play, more so than the PS3.

Rooted_Dust6839d ago

I'd say Xbox360 is pretty much "PC Gaming Light", it's for people who don't have enough money or a uninterested in gaming on a PC.

gaffyh6839d ago

I'm sure I already heard this on a podcast or something (1up maybe), basically they asked the developers and the devs replied "we can't talk about the PS3 version of Bioshock yet", which basically confirms that it is ocming to PS3 and when asked why they said something about Microsoft helping them out a lot.

madmike6839d ago (Edited 6839d ago )

WHAT A MESSED UP SITE THIS AS BECOME MY GOD I OWN A PS3 BUT THIS NEWS IS A JOKE THINKING ABOUT IT ANY NEWS FROM THIS SITE IS A JOKE. YOU FANDICKS HAVE KILLED THIS SITE AND THE SAD PART ABOUT IT I BET YOU DON,T EVEN OWN A CONSOLE. YOUR JUST ROCKING IN YOU CHAIRS BECAUSE YOU FORGOT TO TAKE YOU DRUGS ILL COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SITE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS TIME BYE yes i have got a ps3 also dasktop pc + laptop. psp xbox360 thanks i still think this site gone to s..t

Douche6839d ago

You don't really have a PS3. If you did, you be ecstatic of this news, if true. I've said long before that it was still gonna be on the PS3. I even had news posts approved over this and then bashed by xbots. It is just a timed-exclusive. Of course MS tried to make it sound like it was completely exclusive. It's business. Just as Sony is putting a lot of emphasis on "UT3 and Haze coming this winter exclusively". When said like that, it is kind of foreshadowed and can be misleading. Which is good for business. Except it has been made perfectly clear about those two, instead of BioShock. MS are making sure it has at least been released before others find out that it is multiplatform. BioShock is just one more game keeping 360's selling and MS will do w/e it takes to keep it this way. I remember that podcast, gaffyh, and that was all the more reason for me to believe this. That guy's sort of "You got me in a corner and I must think fast" statement of how MS has been a real help or w/e when asked about why they won't talk of the PS3 version was a hint at how they are being kept under wraps about it. Nonetheless, I can wait for BioShock. There are so many games coming out for PS3 with a steady pace in the coming months and I'm gonna be forking out a lot of money in the end as it is.

Douche6838d ago

I thought you left. "yes i have got a ps3 also dasktop pc + laptop. psp xbox360 thanks i still think this site gone to s..t" Go to English class much? Never heard of a dasktop pc, is it new? See you in two months man...hypocrite.

kingofps36840d ago

Time to add Bioshock to my list of games to play in my profile page. Hopefully, Mass Effect will follow. Of course! Too Much 2, 3 will be on the PS3.

Xeoset6840d ago

Bioshock is more than likely going nowhere.

Microsofts Money > Rumour.

Also:

Mass Effect = Published by MS
Mass Effect 2 = Published by MS
Mass Effect 3 = Published by MS

Too Human = Published by MS
Too Human 2 = Published by MS
Too Human 3 = Published by MS

Rooted_Dust6839d ago

And I don't know about Too Human, but Mass Effect will eventually come to the PC. Just like both the KOTOR games and Jade Empire.

hazeblaze6839d ago

I'd like to play Mass Effect... but we'll be able to play that on pc within a year anyway. Also, no publisher has been announced yet on Mass Effect 2 & 3 guys... Microsoft does not own Bioware, so they COULD make the 2nd and 3rd games for whoever they wanted to. However, their PS3 game is an all new title from what they've said so far.

As for Too Human... why would anyone want to play that game?! Haven't you seen the gameplay vids?! GFX look good but the combat looks horrible.

The Snake6839d ago (Edited 6839d ago )

A publisher often gets to keep the rights to an IP created by the developer. FEAR is the first game that comes to mind, as does Max Payne, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Gears of War, and enough others to make me think that's likely the case with Mass Effect as well.

Sevir046840d ago (Edited 6840d ago )

same with too human. so as for those thats it. bioshock on the other hand that might happen.

achira6840d ago

not so important, its only another overhyped fps shooter.

Xanatos6840d ago (Edited 6840d ago )

Halo is an overhyped fps, Bioshock i think is a must play game. I so wish for it to come to the ps3, one of the reasons i might get a 360 is this game + Fable 2, and Mass Effect.

Shadow Flare6840d ago

as in more importantly, what was they having for dinner?

Why_So_Serious6840d ago

bioshock is published by 2k games

Watkins6839d ago

Haha, that is sooo spot on! Bioshock is the only game (along with perhaps Mass effect, not all that impressed yet though) that the x360 has that I wanna play.

TriggerHappy6840d ago (Edited 6840d ago )

Is on a roll today, i hope they are sure about posting these rumors as they are putting their reputation on the line. They've been posting a bunch of bullsh!t lately..

However, if this is true, great for PS3 owners

BLACKJACK VII6840d ago (Edited 6840d ago )

"PSU must emphasize that this is still a rumor, and Take Two has not officially confirmed this with us yet."

Hey, if it does go to PS3, great. Exclusives are becoming a thing of the past unless M$ or Sony publish the IP. But this article has no basis in fact & admits it.

TriggerHappy6840d ago

Did anyone realize that the the official boxart does not have the only on Xbox360 tag ?

hmmm

BaMYouRDeaD6839d ago

@ Mercenary

I preordered the game from Best Buy 3 days ago, and the preorder box has the only on 360 tag on it.

Anyway, I already preordered it for 360, so even if it does go to PS3, it wouldn't matter. I normally get multiplatform shooters for my 360 because of rumble. Action games (DMC4) on PS3 because I don't like the 360 controller when it comes to the action genre.

Xeoset6840d ago

BAHAHAHAHA!!!

Damn, you really want this game so badly don't you? Just buy a 360 already, they're like PS3's, but cheaper and actually have games.

Bazookajoe_836840d ago

Don´t want this game, but good for those who do..

Hades13376840d ago

...which offers practically all of the 360s decent games. And anyway Bioshock just doesnt look anything special imo, but I am waiting to be proven wrong.

snakeater36840d ago

I'd have to agree with you xeoset ....the xbox360 IS frikkin cheap...so cheap infact that it breaks down more easily than a pc running on vista ;)

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-inferno271d 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.

Furesis271d 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-inferno271d 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.

ActualWhiteMan271d ago

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

Rebel_Scum271d ago

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

Michiel1989271d ago

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

-Foxtrot271d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77271d 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_Bomb271d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya271d ago (Edited 271d 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-PANGPANG270d 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.

anast641d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai644d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken642d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop644d 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_drake644d 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

TheNamelessOne644d 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.

badkolo643d ago

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

Knightofelemia644d ago (Edited 644d ago )

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