Bioshock for PS3 - Confirmed

Great news. I'm excited to get the chance to play it. Currently (and completely unrelated to this announcement) reading Atlas Shrugged at the moment, so I'm looking forward to seeing the connections I've read about.

Serious inquiry, though, has anything been mentioned about Mass Effect? I know it's a Microsoft-published game, but since EA bought the developers, I recall rumblings that it would make it's way over to the PS3 in some form or another (maybe in a Sigma-type arrangement). Could be wrong, but I am hoping.
 
[quote name='Thomas96']I'm not buying anymore 360 games... because most of them are going to come out on PS3.. I might as well wait... basically I wasted 50 dollars on this game for 360. I need some Mass Effect, and Ninja Gaiden II rumors![/quote]

Umm... How did you waste 50 dollars?! Did you not play it or somethin? And why would it matter if games are coming out on PS3 or not. "Ohh noo im playin bioshock and its gonna be on ps3 aswell, this has now become unenjoyable + garbage/trash/rubbish/poop." Either place you buy it the game is gonna be sawweeet. And no one knows if its comin to PS3. Quarterrman EGM said microsoft paid bunch of money to keep it on xbox so just wait until its official is all i gotta say.

If Mass Effect is as good as and does as well as everyone hopes, then EA will do absolutely anything short of selling their first-born to put this game on as many consoles as possible. This is probably the only good thing about EA in that they want all their games to be multi-platform as opposed to companies like Konami, Tecmo, Bioware, SquareEnix and others who always take sides.
 
[quote name='CoffeeEdge']Not possible. Both of those are being published by Microsoft, so, you do the math.

Anyways, I can't believe that only 4 people in this thread have applied the moment of critical thought that it requires to realize that this is a completely unsourced story from some podunk blog that no-one's ever heard of, and say anything other than "awesome, glad to see it's coming to PS3, I'll have to pick it up."

Sure, Bioshock PS3 is possible, but random blogs (which are often desperate for hits) posting unsourced, sensational stories that they know will get them lots of hits is a far cry from confirmation.[/QUOTE]

Mass Effect is now owned by EA through their acquisition of Bioware. MS is publishing the first, but there's no guarantee sequels won't be on PS3. This is EA we're talking about.

As for the credibility of the Bioshock rumor, anyone remember this "screaming for blog hits" rumor about MGS4 going to 360 last year? These little blog sites will post anything to draw attention to themselves.

From interviews Ken always gave off the vibe that this is a true exclusive. Plus, it isn't like they are hurting for sales.

Don't worry, I'm sure one of the 10 versions of NG2 will be on the PS3.
 
[quote name='pete5883']I always wonder why people buy one system, and then post on the internet how badly they want other system's games ported to their system. If you wanted 3 360 games, why didn't you get a 360?[/QUOTE]

Take your logic and go home. We don't want that on an internet forum. ;)

If you are satisfied with shoddy ports with gimped features, more power to you. That aside, if this were remotely true, six months from now the 360 version will be about $30 and another thing to take into consideration, the 360 controller is FAR superior for FPS games than the DS design.

I'm just curious, what is the advantage of playing a game on PS3 versus 360, despite having possibly an inferior version with no achievements, and less players online?
 
I get the PS3 version myself for a few reasons.

One of which is the online. Free and the PS3 has built in wireless. I have to pay for the Live on the 360 and pay for a wireless adapter if I want to get online. Main reason I got COD4 on the PS3 even though I could have gotten COD3 for free if I got the 360 version. Sure there are less people online, but there is way more than enough to play with.

Another thing is I like the controller better. I like the layout of the buttons/analog sticks and I like that I can recharge the controller.

Sure, PS3 games have no achievements, but really you don't honestly get anything from them, they are just sometimes somewhat entertaining to get.
 
[quote name='H.Cornerstone']Anyone besides me think MS just lost their best exclusive game?[/quote]

No, because it's not that good. I was finished with it and was like "Uh... thats... it? People want to play THIS numerous times through?" Whatever, I got my copy for free and I'm done with it. To call this the 360's best exclusive is preposterous. Although, it is good news since my cousin has wanted to play a decent PS3 game for a while, and this will definitely scratch that itch.

[/quote]

Well, I wouldn't say that. If its anything like the Gears situation, the sequels might already be signed to be exclusives.
 
[quote name='GizmoGC']Nice. Glad to know the PS3 gets the 360 ports eventually.[/QUOTE]

Hey , some people like to play games 6 months later with outdated rumbleless controllers , quit being a dick .
;)

So much for the PS3 SDF line of "I don't like FPS" . :lol:

dont forget lower framerate...:)

all joking aside.. im sure 2k will do a decent job... its not like they are ea which tend to fuck up almost every ps3 port...
 
[quote name='Rozz']I'm just curious, what is the advantage of playing a game on PS3 versus 360, despite having possibly an inferior version with no achievements, and less players online?[/QUOTE]

As far as superiority/inferiority, you said it yourself: possibly. Not all games are inferior, and not all superior. Moreover, far too much is made of some differences (e.g., 30FPS vs 60FPS in Madden 08).

Achievements? I got enough gold stars in kindergarten, thankyouverymuch. They're fine and dandy, but if they become the be-all, end-all of your gaming, then you are no longer gaming for entertainment, but compulsion.

Finally, XBL is a vastly superior interface for online gaming, but don't act as if (1) XBL is all around awesome for online games (I'll get to that in a second), or that (2) the PS3 is a wasteland with 6 people playing COD4...because it's simply not the case.

My biggest hangup with online gaming (this goes for XBL and other services) is how...err..'contemporary' everything is. You act as if there are no people playing games on PSN, and there are. They're the same kind of beasts who clutter XBL, playing only new releases and big, big, BIG classic titles. If I want to play SFII or UMK3 online on XBL, I'm pretty fucked unless I organize a game with someone offline. The same can be said of other online services, so it's not exclusive to XBL...but then, what happens is that any suggestion that XBL is the ideal and perfect gamer's paradise for online play becomes moot, doesn't it?

[/QUOTE]


1. Bioshock is a single player game. No need for online.
2. The 360 has a built in ethernet cord, no need for an adapter.
3. Free PSN or under $4 a month Live... not touching that one. ;)

1. Wasn't talking about Bioshock
2. I'm nowhere near close enough to get online with a wire, hence the need for a wireless adapter.
3. $8 a month unless you buy the $50 card for 12 months.

Unfortunately you still gotta pay $50 to average $4 a month, or it's $7.50 a month at the cheapest. For me, that's still too expensive.
 
I sure do like my XBL 12 month gold cards I got for $19.99 each :D
 
I only buy the PS3 version of dual-format games for one simple reason no one else in this thread has mentioned... system noise.

When playing games my 360 sounds like a jet engine taking off. I've gone through 3 broken 360s and each of them had this problem.

Comparatively, the PS3 is silent. You can still hear it, but it's barely louder than a DVD player.

To me, gaming where I can only hear the game through the speakers and not the system grinding away overcomes the dubious advantage of achievements and XBL.
 
Well that and reliability. When my 360 died on me the day before the Halo 3 release, I vowed never to buy a multiplatform on the 360, only getting the exclusives.

Of course, I usually buy multiplatforms for my PC since I have a pretty powerful one.

that unfortunately, could never happen (mass effect on ps3) due to microsoft themselves owning the ip to the original mass effect. the sequels on the other hand (the game is supposed to be a trilogy) are not owned by microsoft, so they could very much go to the ps3. but the beginning of the mass effect trilogy is and will stay a microsoft exclusive unless they decide to sell the ip for it.

as for the OP, this is all just speculation as it's been pointed out before by other posters before. while this rumor may be true, truth is, it isn't.

I assume you pay for some sort of cable tv right ?
Why not hook up an antenna and get free tv ?

I own Macs. I used to have a Linux PC, but I let it fall into disrepair... and now I use my old Macs for Linux boxes... :)

So, in effect, I don't have a Windows PC... I should've been more specific. (I never really gamed more than the strategy titles on my PC anyway... but time crept up on it.. I made it a Linux box, and it died of old age.... heh) I would rather game on my consoles these days... much less of a hassle, though obviously not as eye-candy capable as a fully decked out PC. :)

Warning SDF! SDF! lol There's a lot of justification going on. We're discussing Bioshock and you mention online as your deciding factor in getting the PS3 version. I merely pointed out, yes, the obvious. One has nothing to do with the other and it shouldn't be a deciding factor at all for a non-online game.

Router on another floor? "Some this and some that," another :lol: My gaming setup is in the basement, the router (was) upstairs on the opposite end of the house. Ran a $20 - 100ft cord. Took, oh, about an hour. Real involved stuff. I instead switched to:

Another option is put the modem/router into the gaming setup and run the cable to the PC or get a cheap wireless PC card. Turned out I got better wireless on my laptop in this setup. Not to mention with the Wii and PS3 being wireless they are at a constant 100% signal since they are no more than a foot away from the router.

[quote name='The Mana Knight']No PSN name in your profile.[/quote]
...and?

Can't take a guy at his word? It's SithDraven. It's not in my profile because I don't own any online games for PS3 so it's pretty pointless to even have it right now. But I'll add it though, just for you. Not that I have to list my gaming to you but a simple search would have yielded many posts in the Lair and Heavenly Sword threads. I also have R&C in the drive right now(haven't started it yet though).

I swear posting in the PS3 forum is like walking in a mine field.

Besides the fact there are no more open eithernet ports on the router, I'm not using a 100ft cable to get online. I could either jump through all those hoops to play online, or I can just turn on the PS3 and play online. Seems like a no brainer.

I have been looking into that other option in going through my PC though, Haven't decided if I feel it's worth it to do it though.

1. Bioshock is not online. Why you would get the PS3 version for online features it does not have is beyond me.

2. You can afford a $600 system but not $3.90 a month for XBL? XBL is by far superior to PS3 online in every single way.

3. Bioshock was awesome!!!! ...when I played it several months ago. But hey, its no to you, right? Just like those NBC commercials, If you havn't seen it, its new to you.
