BioShock: PS3 Data Found in .ini File.

QUOTED:

"Look what some one found In the configuration file of the PC Demo of Bioshock: there are some notes for the interested about the game engine configurations options and there's a little topic about consoles.
[Console]
;; Console (XBox360, PS3) specific settings

;; StreamingDynamicFloatingLimit:
;; If this is a positive number, then instead of using the fixed per-level
;; limits, the StreamingDynamic resource will use as much memory as is
;; available as long as the total memory allocated by the game is less than
;; the specified number. In other words, StreamingDynamic will grow and
;; shrink to fit to the available memory instead of being locked to a fixed
;; budget
StreamingDynamicFloatingLimit=500

You'll find this under Program Files/2k Game/Bioshock demo/Content/config.ini , just open the file with notepad or wordpad . Good news for ps3 fans although most already assumed the game was coming."

Please check for yourselves...

Now I need to go download the demo just to see for myself.

Our developer from Valve who works for PSU.com was first to find it. Here is the source:

Foliage6827d ago

It's not very surprising. The game isn't exclusive to begin with, seeing as it is on the PC. Microsoft paid them to keep it off the PS3 for a while, but considering how development was already in progress for the PS3 version, scrapping it isn't very likely.

BubblesDAVERAGE6827d ago

Its comming we all know that...this is just like when we saw the pc code for gears of war..they will deny then later on here it comes with extra content

FreeMonk6827d ago

that if Bioshock comes out on the PS3, that all the PS3 fanboys that have been slating the game and calling it will have a sudden change of heart and start loving the game!

Shame these guys can't see over there PS3 love, they are missing out on soooo much!

Having Configuration settings in your init file clearly show a ps3 version is bound. Which isn't really somethign totally new, considering its already cross-platform with 360/PC.

Kudos!

Odion6827d ago

or that its old code since why would the PC code have any of the console code.

It also says on the box only for Windows and 360

Marona6827d ago

Where the heck do you see "Only" in the box? I don't see it anywhere.

mccomber6827d ago (Edited 6827d ago )

It says it right at the top; please forgive the blurry picture, but you can definitely see it.

PS-Wii-606827d ago

Enchanted Arms on the shelf. The box clearly says "ONLY ON XBOX 360"
and THAT copy was sitting beside the PS3 version =/

Don't matter much to me, I already have my Bioshock for 360 and would have chosen this version anyhow (360 controller is best for shooters and it has achievements).

But, how many people are buying the game NOW who might have chosen a PS3 version if given the chance?

This tactic (if there really is a PS3 Bioshock on the way) does prove to me the importance of "timed exclusivety" especially if other console versions are kept under wraps until after the original launch.

Staircase6827d ago

Doesn't Microsoft do that to even timed exclusives? (I'm asking a question, i really am not sure) =)

mccomber6827d ago

I honestly couldn't tell you, but as PS-Wii-60 points out it was on the Enchanted Arms box as well, so...

pilotpistolpete6827d ago

I think they slap on "only on xbox" as a "only on xbox at this time", meaning you wont find it anywhere else for the time being.

IT will release on the newer version of Unreal Engine 3, after Sony's little engineers optimize the UE3 engine with Epic. I'd expect a Christmas 07 release to early 08.

InMyOpinion6827d ago (Edited 6827d ago )

I'd say christmas 08' considering how well the PS3 seems to handle the UE3 at the moment.

*edit - for those of you that did'nt get that, I'm thinking about all those delayed UE3 games for the PS3.*

jujunogo6827d ago

take a look at the case drawn up from 2k boston for spring release date of the ps3 version

Watkins6827d ago

So what are you saying? That Mark Rein lied when he said that UT3 was currently running better (on the PS3) than Gears ever did on the X360?

OMG 360 RUL3Z0RZ FTW6826d ago

Obviously, there is a delay because they have to rework everything so that the PS3 can actually handle this game. We all read the stories about how the PS3 is vastly inferior with cross-console games coming out. This is no different. I'm sure the developers realized this early on, and just threw their hands up and said "screw the ps3, we'll figure it out later." They then continued on to make the best game on earth and graced 360 owners with the best gameplay experiences they could ever dream of.

Prediction: BioShock will sell 8M copies, and make at least 75% of PS3 owners throw their consoles away, buy a 360, and then buy BioShock because they don't want to wait for 2K to rewrite all their code to accommodate the PS3. If you disagree with me, you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

i predict 11 excuses, 23 spins, 17 PS3 bashes not related to this article, and 25 people saying they won't believe it till they see it.

Snake_Doctor6827d ago

Add in a few explanations of how bad it will be in comparison to 360 version and about 750+ degrees and I'd say that prediction is about right.

WafflesID6827d ago

Kinda funny. you guys did the same thing with MGS4.

Violater6827d ago

Especially after Kojima has debunked that rumor,
And 2k has opted to "no comment"

[end sarcasm]

plastixblue6827d ago

A Fanboy commenting about fanboys. People like you The Mart,Dj and ALL fanboy trolls should be forced to watch Golden Girls for three days straight!

Non Fanboism FTW!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 19h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 16h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Nuvem1d 20h ago

Where is the remake?!!!

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7710d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga10d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer19929d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga9d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman9d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger9d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box10d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion9d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7210d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent759d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit9d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14910d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7710d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
