- The graphics are the same as the Xbox 360 version of the game, although they may possibly notch it up a bit but it is still unknown.- The game will feature the Plasmid and fixes given to the Xbox 360 version via downloadable content right out of the box.

- The development team does admit that they are working with Sony to potentially "EXTEND AND AUGMENT THE GAME" but it is too early to talk about it.

- The development team says "whatever we end up with via our discussions with Sony, coupled with the fact that BioShock allows you to go through and roll your own shooter in the first place...these two factors together would turn into a motive for replay." That being if you already had the Xbox 360 version of the game.

- The rest is them talking about the actual game and story and big developers like Ted Price from Insomniac Games weigh in on the title.

Good to know but there's more info to come.

As expected, PLAYSTATION®3 will recieve the superior version of a recently lost AAA exclusive to XBox 360. It has been confirmed that due to the PS3's technological prowess, Bioshock will perform functions that Xbox 360 clearly isnt capable of. This will more than likely result in the sequel being exclusive to PLAYSTATION®3.

With Sony snagging up all of the top Xbox 360 titles what will 360 gamers have to hang their hats on? After all, if you want any of Xbox 360's AAA exclusives, you will be able to play them on PLAYSTATION®3.

Where's your gamer's machine at now Microslaves?

$niper

Kami5864d ago

you are such a fanboy that its not even funny.

turbogeekx5864d ago

DarkSniper's the man lol. You're just pissed that he's a PS3 supporter, Kami.

LenHart5864d ago

Elginer5864d ago (Edited 5864d ago )

what a jackass comment...and this PS3 fanboy/console war crap continues.
SIGH

Whatever happened to, "I can't wait for the game" and not having to add some random fanboy junk.

meepmoopmeep5864d ago (Edited 5864d ago )

i advise you to stay out of the Open Zone if you are bothered with these types of comments. it's what the open zone is for and at times, people are just joking to get kicks out of it.

don't take everything too seriously around here, especailly in OZ.

and don't be messin' with my mentor DarkSniper

Maverick_5864d ago

I think what he's saying is true. PS3 is about to throw everything it's got at the 360 next year. I know this year will be awesome and PS3 will probably be around 22-23 million by the end of December... but next year.... there will be a PS3 price cut...Home will be out and it's going to be cool...VERY cool... it's not taking this long becuase it's going to be boring and have 2-3 things to do.

Final Fantasy 13 and Versus, White Knight Chronciles, Killzone 2, God of WAR III, Rockstar Exclusive I would think(Unless its 2010), Gran Turismo 5, 8 days? Afrika? The Getaway?

This year is going to be VERY good but next year is going to be an all-out MASSACRE. Seriously look how many AAA HUGEEEEEEEEE Blockbusters are coming out next year.

And this year MGS4, Resistance 2, LBP, Motorsotrm 2, Bioshock ...all the multiplatforms...and next year is only YEAR 3 for the PS3!!!!

This battle is soooo barely beginning.

morganfell5864d ago (Edited 5864d ago )

let me see. it is may and already the graphics are as good as the 360 version? in may? ooohh i think this is going to be very pretty for the ps3 and very ugly for people running the last gen 1.5 console.

miked8085864d ago

Isn't this the game I beat a year ago where you're under mind control the whole time and have to kill Atlus in the end.

Maverick_5864d ago

lol jealous troll.

PS3 is ripping the 360 a new asshole and going ot be amazing on the PS3.

skynidas5864d ago

Definitely buying this game, is one of the few games that i like from the 360 (NO OFFENSE)

Max Power5864d ago

i am just disappointed because i know the twist at the end, because i figured i wouldn't get the chance to play it so i wasn't worried about the ending, but now i feel upset at myself for ruining the story aspect of the game, but i am sure the gameplay will be fun enough.

celticlonewolf5864d ago

Do add some more stuff to it or atleast not come out at the full price of 59 cause the 360 version retails at 39 thats 20 bucks diff so it would be nice to get something exra for that 20 bucks.

Meresin5864d ago

I was initially very excited about this game coming to the PS3. However, if there isn't more to it than there is to the 360 version, I probably won't be paying $60 for it, either. It's no longer a new game, so there's no reason to charge a new game price for it. I'll rent it if that turns out to be the case. If it ends up being $40-50, or they add something to it/improve the graphics, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

meepmoopmeep5864d ago

hopefully they'll add some exclusive content to this version if it's going to retail for $60.

Didn't the creator write it? It also made a fortune based on the budget so from a business standpoint it is a massive success.

Why BioShock Deserves the Dead Space Remake Treatment

Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.

banger88439d ago

No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.

FallenAngel1984439d ago

There have already been 7th gen remakes of games already

Dead Space in particular already proves that just because a game looks good on original hardware doesn’t mean it cant look and play better

Jin_Sakai439d ago

Agreed although I’m ready for some new groundbreaking IP this generation.

IamTylerDurden1438d ago (Edited 438d ago )

Agreed. Remasters already happened and still look n play fantastic. DS was a different animal. It needed a remake, Bioshock doesn't NEED it. Infinite Remastered for example is extremely viable even today. What we do need is Bioshock 4. Rumors that equated to zip. Where is it? Ken really blew the pooch as well. Left to go do what? He was inspired by Tell Tale or something and went off to become irrelevant. Nice. And Bioshock Vita was scrapped. Fantastic.

toxic-inferno438d ago

Bioshock 4 is definitely still in development. News trickles out about it every couple of months.

And Ken's next game (Judas) looks great from the teaser trailer.

IamTylerDurden1438d ago (Edited 438d ago )

Yeah. Pretty much. I understand why they did it with TLOU to coincide with the show but certainly it didn't NEED a remake desperately. Obviously u are trolling and expect me defend anything Sony but idgaf about all that. I say what i feel is the truth.

Just like TLOU i wouldn't be upset if Bioshock received a remake but it doesn't desperately need it. I'd probably even play it bc like TLOU, i love Bioshock, but in these aren't identical scenarios either. Ppl kill ND for TLOU Remake yet it wasn't even their project originaly. It started as a potential Uncharted remake and passion project via Visual Arts and was passed to Bend i believe? ND took over bc the project obviously wasn't where it needed to be. And yet they still had Factions and possibly TLOU 3 in development as well. Bioshock has been dormant for a decade bar the remaster. Rumors of a sequel haven't materialised. A remake without a sequel would be disappointing. TLOU Remake is more tolerable knowing sequel/spinoffs are in development. Like i said, dif situation.

neutralgamer1992438d ago

It's not all about looks only

Tweaks to story
Tweaks to characters
Improvements to gameplay

Original bioshock have the worst puzzle solving system and can get frustrating quickly

WiiU-Dude438d ago

The last part you said I agree COMPLETELY!!! Game companies need to mine games from the Sega Saturn, PS1 and N64 days and even the Dreamcast, GameCube, and PS2 days to give a full update to. I know those would require more work, but there are PLENTY of gems from those days that people would LOVE to play again or for the first time with a facelift!!! I know I would.

Binarycode439d ago

The games that need remaking are.

Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.

PS5 would produce something special.

There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.

Storm23438d ago

I would kill for Resistance 1-3 Remake/Remaster. Same with MotorStorm series and Killzone series. Man, I loved my PS3. Can we also get the Metal Gear series and rescue MGS4 off the PS3? There is a rumor of MGS3 getting a remake. One of, if not my number 1, favorite game of all time.

On topic, I played Bioshock like 6 months after release after hearing from everyone and their mother how incredible it was. I know I will be in the minority on this, but I couldn't get into it. I think my expectations were too high. Totally my fault. Maybe I should give it another chance...

IamTylerDurden1438d ago (Edited 438d ago )

Agreed, Killzone as well, but Sony has no interest in the future of those IP. It won't happen. If they cared about Motorstorm they wouldn't have axed Evolution. The last remaster from a dead studio "Wipeout" was exceptional yet nobody supported it. Even with a free VR inclusion. If ppl want these remasters...actually support the ones that release. Medievil same thing. Ppl cried for Demon's Souls Remake, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3 and the sales didn't match the cries. None of these games sold as u would imagine given the internet pleas for these titles over a decade or more. DeS Remake did alright but given the circumstances it should've sold better. 92 Meta, PS5 launch exclusive, stunning visuals, and the first of the genre in an age where Eldin Ring will push 30 million units. Yes, DeS is only one platform but still.

Binarycode436d ago

I do agree mostly with what you said.

I bought killzone,2,3. Did not like 4 other then it's graphics.

I bought infamous 1,2. Second son never did it for me apart from again the graphics, so parts were good. But world felt too empty. Probably needed a PS5 to do it justice.

Bought all the Resistance and Motorstorms, those games were awesome. They 100% need a remake.

PS3 was just an awesome machine, I know it was a pain to develop for, but it had some many titles that I loved.
I really enjoyed the Bioshock series, the first 2 were best. Very good games.

As for Demon souls.and the souls series in general. They never have had massive sales. I think because they are very hard games. we are talking a million or less. I think the remaster did 1.4million.

Motorstorm pacific rift did 1.4million PS3.I think.

Hopefully some of them will come back.

-Foxtrot438d ago

I would love this

Expand on the lore

Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines

Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area

Maybe new plasmids

Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great

Aussiesummer438d ago

Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
