Does the PS3 need Bioshock?

Although many had their hopes up last week nothing has been announced about Bioshock coming to the PS3, but the big question is does the console need it?

So far the Take Two game is looking to be the summer's big hit, getting impressive scores across the board; a lot of 10/10s and a lowest score so far of 9.5. Its gonna be huge, and pspsps.tv reckons the PS3 is missing out...

[Jack Bauer]

a game like Bioshock will no doubt win over the harcore gamer, but considering the small population of us and it being only one game (no matter how good), i doubt it will hurt the PS3 not having it.

i always thought of it as a timed exclusive to the 360, but the retail box shows "only on xbox 360 and windows" i have yet to see that on a 2k game ever, im thinking MS saw how good this game was and snatched full exclusivity while they could...but hey, ya never know.

[jromao]

I played Bioshock on 360 three days ago and I'm not impressed at all, its just one more FPS game with good physics and some other nice features, hardcore gamers will for sure be happy to play it for a while if they like the horror kind mixed with strange shooting. I liked the entrance scene where we need to swim till the lighthouse and all movie scenematics underwater, water is very well done, but this game is not in my buy list for sure.

But STRANGEHOLD demo is another story, demo is good and physics are great, except camera is somewhat slow and don't have smart movement and that maybe will be fixed in final release. But PS3 will have Stranglehold soon.

[Violater]

This game is getting, If MS hasn't ponied up the cash to keep it exclusive I would be surprised.

As for the topic's question, I think this would have been a great game to come to the PS3 now that the amount of quality titles just aren't there.
If it were to happen say next year I don't think there will still be a great demand for it as there will be more games out for the PS3 by then.

[hazeblaze]

It's true that the lack of Bioshock will not 'hurt' the PS3... I think it's definitely a 'loss' to PS3 owners. By all accounts this is really a must have title. However, the PS3 is getting enough must have titles this fall/winter to compensate for the 2-3 it will be missing out on. Plus... most ps3 owners who want to play this game probably will... on pc.

[Real Gambler]

You said, word for word, exactly what I was thinking.... Bubble for you anyway : )

[eLiNeS]

This is why: http://www.xbox360achieveme... having these will make the game a blast and get more for your money, more playability. I guess you could look at the list and try doing some of the achievements listed for your PS3 IF it was coming to the PS3 but it won't be the same. Your friends won't know how far along you are in the game either.

Here, amazon is a get place to get yourself a 360 http://www.amazon.com/gp/ne...

See you on Live!!!

[Wii60_FTW]

"its just one more FPS game"

lmao. ***FANBOY ALERT***

[Omegasyde]

1)Bioshock is coming to the ps3. Its just a matter of time.

---Why? Because Take 2 loves Money. MS also doesn't see too much to gain for this title. Take 2 will pull a "ubisoft" and probably release the game for the PS3 next year.

2)Metal Gear Online (NOT MGS4) is coming to the 360 as well.

---but WHY??? Sony helped Fund MGS4, not Metal Gear Online. Konami developers took some of the engine, and a different lead man (not KOJIMA) over for project development. Konami has hinted of MGS going multi platform as well. I have no clue when the cat will be let out of the bag...

3)The new Star wars Game will own both and be a surprise hit. I will also get hired and take over Michael Pachter as leading gaming analyst and provide exclusive insider info.

:)

EDIT: I played Neutral.. but I guarantee both of my predictions. The star wars comment/analyst came out of my a$$ however.

[jay3]

I'm sorry but i couldn't help but see a bit of "Fanboy" in your comment. Are you saying that Stranglehold is better than Bioshock? Well, you would be wrong. I understand completely that it's just your opinion but i don't believe for one second that you weren't at least a bit impressed with Bioshock. And the fact that you say Stranglehold is better, makes me think you say that because that IS coming to the PS3 unlike Bioshock.

And on the topic. I think if the PS3 had the same sort of line-up next year as it does this year, this would definetly hurt it. But the PS3 is looking to have an impressive line-up next year so this will probably minimal, if any "Damage"

[FreeMonk]

for all the PS3 fanboys who don't own a 360 that they won't experience Bioshock.

It's superb. Just check the reviews going around the net. The lowest score so far is 96% for the game and many other sites have scored it 10/10.

Any PS3 fanboy who says 'This is another FPS' or 'I don't care, it looks crap' needs to actually play the game, NOT THE DEMO, the ACTUAL game to get the full experience.

Just like MGS4 is a must of every gamer for the PS3, Bioshock is a must for everyone on the 360, and either party would love the other consoles exclusive title for there console!

Bioshock is awesome.....spectacular!! It'll always be one of those games that are in the top 50 or the best 100 games ever polls....FOR EVERY SITE OR MAGAZINE!

Even if you are a PS3 fanboy, don't rob yourself of an experience, hold back the pride and play and enjoy it. Then go and say it's crap, but keep the secret down inside that you loved it, because everyone who plays it will know you did too!

[TheBeginningOfTheEnd]

it does.

[ISay]

PS3 NEEDS ALL THE GAMES IT CAN GET, WILL EVEN TAKE VIVA PINATA IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE

[tplarkin7]

Of course it hurts the PS3! Any good game on 360 damages PS3 sales. It's another reason to avoid the PS3, or buying games for PS3 (if you own both consoles).

[ChefDejon]

need MGS4

[ShiftyLookingCow]

exactly

[power of Green]

MGS4 isn't getting scores of 9's and 10's yet if ever.

MGS isn't as popular on Xbox so your post doesnt make any sense.

MGS4 isn't a new IP/series Most Xbox gamers care about.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

New game new IP new pwnage ammo against ps3. MGS4 same Ip Same game old fart representing it. You can only ride a retard so long.

[BaMYouRDeaD]

I don't care which console MGS4 goes to, but no matter which one it's on, you shall not take the name of any MGS game in vane. Sorry, I'm just a big MGS fan, I couldn't control myself. =P

[hazeblaze]

If you read my post, you'll see that I'm looking forward to Bioshock as much as the next guy............ But if I had to choose b/w Bioshock and MGS4, it'd be MGS4 by a LONGSHOT! Bioshock is only a new franchise by name... but it still picks up where System Shock 2 left off. And MGS4 may be an old IP... but it's a sequel of one of the greatest video game franchises ever made, period.

All of which hardly even matters since there are plenty of new IP's coming out this year as well anyway. The games being good matter a lot more than whether or not they are new IP's or not... after all, Halo 3 is the most hyped game in the history of gaming!

[Staircase]

Every metal gear has gotten insanely good ratings. 4 is looking really, really good, and will defiantly bring more people into the series. Kojima promised he would put all he had into this game, and i know it won't disappoint.

[supnub5]

then why the rumor of the mgs4 coming to 360 still doesn't die, because in the deep heart xbots like you want it, even after kojima himself confirmed it's a ps3 exclusive.

[eLiNeS]

to take one more exclusive away from Fony and the fandroids nothing else. We don't need it, we have plenty AAA games that will get better ratings then any PofS3 game ever will. And who would want MGS4, especially if it plays as the demo did that we saw of it. Pulls a can out of his @$$ then rolls two enemy's down with out making a noise, come on, pulls a can out of his A$$?!?!?

[bYkICr]

Want or Don't want. 360 girls and PS3 guys have different taste of games. For those who share the same taste they have both. End of story.

[360Sheep]

want... maybe

need.. not in the slightest

[Clinton514]

They need many. And Bioshock will be making it's way to the PS3 sooner or later.

[Zhuk]

The PS3 needs any help it can get

[toughNAME]

i do not want bioshock to go to PS3

but compitition from the sony side has been lacking

maybe MS shud throw them a bone?

(if your gunna reply dont gimme a list of ps exclusives i know what they are)

[hazeblaze]

Lol, funny how you're getting defensive before anyone replies b/c you already know how gangster the ps3's line up is!

[jay3]

Um, no. I just think that he, like many others on here, does not want to hear another Sony fanboy give a list of the 6 games coming out this year and mentioning LAIR and RACHET & CLANK like anyone, including PS3 boys, actually cares. Most PS3 fans are saying it's awesome because they NEED it to be awesome. Fact is, it isn't.

So yeah, no point giving your list because it, you know, sucks.

[X_GAMER_X]

unbelieveabl...is this the answer now to this game?
find ur self som hobby.. JEE

[Bloodmask]

could not run this game with it's lopsided architecture and crippled RSX GPU. The framerate would surely be subpar with only 256megs of video ram.

I'm sure that Irrational Games and 2K only wanted to release optimal versions and not let the game quality suffer. Just look at what happened to Madden.

[vickers500]

Hows that crack you're smokin'?

[kingboy]

I now call on CALL OF DUTY 4 nuff said lol

[Bloodmask]

I really don't even care. I just like throwing the same BS at Sony tards who know nothing about technology.

All of this BS I always hear about how MGS4 and FF13 and KZ2 can't be done on 360. Do you see how stupid it is??

You disagree with this logic but will contradict yourself when the views are flipflopped.

There are 3 parts that matter in making games CPU, GPU, and ram. 360 wins in these depts for overall "gaming" performance.

Do you see??

[Clinton514]

More spouting nonsense out of your behind.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

Bioshock will have benefited from Blu-ray but it will also be crippled by the split memory architecture.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Its obvious king missed the second COD4 developer comment on the comparison.

[BLACKJACK VII]

The PS3 can use all the help it can get. But it probably couldn't run @ 60fps or look as Incredible as it does on my 360.

[s8anicslayer]

i cant believe the crap that is being spewed out by these bots, i swear their like damn popups, i cant wait till banning is implemented to this site!

[PS3n360]

bioshock is a xbox exclusive we can say whatever we want. your here cause your jealous.

[Kaneda]

Wow xbots know about technology when they buy hardware that put limitation on the next-gen games..

no HD core model. 20gb is not enough. (60gb PS3 is barely enough)

DVD drive. By 2009 or next year it is gone. Everything will be HD in 2009 (all TV stations will be switch to HD)

M$ said no need for HDMI, then announced HDMI two years later.

If you responded PS3 can't run games @ 60 fps...STFU! and go to read about COD4 for PS3...

[candystop]

That whole COD4 looks better on PS3 crap is nothing more than a sales tactic by IW to build hype of the game on PS3 because they want to compete with halo bioshock and Mass effects while at the same time being the number 1 game on PS3! Do you honestly believe a game that was built from the ground up on 360 and ported to the PS3 will look as good? Even the dude in the latest Multiplayer video said that "at times the PS3 version will look identical to the 360" which means it will not look as good at any given time! Giveit up and just take a whippen this generation as far as quality games and visuals go lol! I don't like all of this crazy trash talking people are doing either but at E3 you guy's didn't have any problem talking crap did you? You guy's started this stuff years ago and now it's just on going and everybody is out of control! Thank Sony and Sega for starting this whole console war crap not us! It's ashame this game won't be on PS3 but oh well it was made for 360 anyway! 360 is a beast and the only console really worth a d@mn right now even though you try and dog on it!

[Wii60_FTW]

Sony is doomed.

[Jdash24]

are you really that dumb?

you said: "Do you honestly believe a game that was built from the ground up on 360 and ported to the PS3 will look as good? "

lemme just say, your effing stupid, the game was built from the ground up for both consoles dont be a damn fanboy, i even read in an article that the team re-did cod2 for the ps3 just to get familiar with the hardware so they could make the best games possible on the ps3........both will look the same and run at 60 fps so why dont you think before you open your dumb, uneducated mouth

[beans]

Was that even necessary? Not saying what he said was even right but you guys are taking this site down to different levels everyday!

[candystop]

Whatever Azzhole! You Sony fans resort to BS name calling and frustration just to try and get your point across! It's freaking game site dumb azz so grow up and stop whining just because people think the PS3 sucks or you read somebodies comments that don't sit right with you! Trust me this uneducated dumb azz would literally chunk your azz in reality but I'm not going to take your silly comments seriously because I know that in person we wouldn't even be having this conversation!!

[btkadams]

looks like an incredible game, but i doubt it will come to ps3.

ps how come no ps3 games have "only on ps3" cuz it seems like every system has except sony systems. gamecube and xbox had it, why not now

[X_GAMER_X]

and I know this will come to ps3.
becuz it was never confirmd as exclusive ever..
it was allways time.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

so what about dev comments and box label saying its only on 360. I guess they dont really matter

I am just saying there is still chance of it going to PS3 but its not like there is nothing against that, esp dev comments.

[Phytonadione]

Enchanted Arms "Xbox 360 only" too?

Darth...not trying to be sarcastic, I honestly just can't remember.

[razer]

Have already stated in their press release that this is an exclusive game to the 360/PC, just how the stingy developers that Sony put's under it's wing but aren't first party do. You win some and you lose some but if you buy both systems you never lose.

http://www.2kgames.com/inde...

[Depressed Mode]

Whoever disagreed with this post, you're an idiot. Bubbles for you razer

[Staircase]

That article is from almost a year ago, so it could still be a possibility, but i doubt it. Not like I care, I am getting it on PC regardless.

[razer]

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

There is a more current comment on it.

"2K Games family following their outstanding performance on BioShock™, the upcoming blockbuster available exclusively for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system and Games For Windows on..."

But yes, enjoy it on the PC it's all good.

[PS-Wii-60]

Sony has ALSO released "official statements" to the effect that both Haze and UT3 "will be available exclusively to PS3"
Of course, we all know this to be bullshit PR double talk.
Sony/M$ don't ever use the term "timed exclusive" when promoting games.

I'm not saying Bioshock will come to PS3 and honestly, I don't give a sh!t. If the port does happen it won't put any money in my pockets.

Either way, my copy of Bioshock is prepaid in full and I'll be picking it up for the 360 on the 21st.

[junk56]

if it does come over then great. if it doesnt then fine. i simply would love to play bioshock since i dont have a powerful computer but i wouldn't mind because by the time it comes over to ps3, i'll be playing MGS4 and GT5 which i grew up with and love them no matter what

[mcgrawgamer]

I could be wrong, but i can see this coming to the ps3. I think we'll see more and more timed exclusives rather than the full blown exclusives of the past. Gamers wanna play games. Dev's wanna make money. I predict in the very near future '09 '10 the only exclusives we'll see will be 1st party titles.

[Ps3Fanboy777]

See above for proof.. Did people diss on Hideo? Seriously.....

Bioshock will most likely make its way to the Ps3... Cant wait to play the PC version hope to clear up some of those jaggies present in the 360 version.

[Martini]

What jaggies ? You'r full of poop.

[Nervsys]

of a PS3 fan complaining about jaggies on a 360 game.

Try finding out about PS3 antialiasing before talking rubbish.

[ParaDise_LosT]

so many Ps3 fans wanted this game so badly
but when someone says it in a bad way...
say put the word 'need' in it they go
'nah no need for it'...
crazy ain't it :)

~EdiT~
If your gonna disagree...
atleast give me reason to why people should over look this hypocracy...

[Antan]

ANY great game would be welcomed, and vice versa for 360. more PS3 because of the smaller userbase. We`ll see after christmas if the PS3 "needs" a game like Bioshock.

[DethWish]

Need!?! What a stupid question is that

[joskingfl]

Ps3 needs a new franchise....

[Komrad]

EVERYONE NEEDS BIOSHOCK.

[Daishi]

I absolutely agree. However this game is more for people who look at games as art. What I mean is that if your the type of person that just runs through a game beats it, then trades it back in you won't appreciate how many little things the developers put in the game. I mean every time I play the demo I'm finding something new wether it's a dead cat, or a flammable toilet. This game deserves every 10 out of 10 it gets and I hope EVERYONE gets a chance to play it, but still not for everyone will think so.

[jwatt]

I played the demo and I can see why it got so many good reviews but after I played it I didn't really care for it so much. I see it as, if the ps3 doesn't get Bioshock it's not a loss but if it does get Bioshock it would be a bonus.

[aiphanes]

Why are people still hating on the PS3? We all know it can run a game at 1080p at 60 frames per sec...there are many PS3 games that do this. You guys saw the MGS4 demo, you saw the killzone 2 demo...you saw Haze, and COD4, you saw Heavenly Sword...Why are you xbots still hating on the PS3?

Just because madden 08 sucks on the PS3, does not mean all games on the PS3 are subpar to the Xbox 360!

Get real xbots...you have some good games...bioshock, maybe halo 3 and gears of war...and a good madden 08...but next year you got nothing killer comming out.

Hopefully some serious IPs drop for the Xbox 360 in 08. The PS3 has a lot of good ips in 08.

[toughNAME]

"you have some good games...bioshock, maybe halo 3 and gears of war"

"xbot"
______________

everyone stops listening

[toughNAME]

if the actual bioshock case says "only xbox 360"

but it does end up going on the PS3

cant 360 owners sue somebody?

[s8anicslayer]

it can say only on 360 but it doesnt state how long!

[ThaGeNeCySt]

There are certain rules as to why a box can say "only on xbox360" i believe it's on the xbox.com site

[Phytonadione]

as I mentioned somewhere below, wasn't Enchanted Arms 360 only?

[junk56]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
yes enchanted arms had the ONLY on 360 and so did oblivion but look what happened to it. so i guess it's either timed exclusive or it won't come to ps3 at all but most likely it will come to ps3. I hope i get to play this game because it probably won't move PS3 units but many of us ps3 only owners would LOVE to play the game.

[Robotz Rule]

Dude stfu!

Bioshock will be a great game but us PS3 owners will have other games to enjoy like Warhawk:)

Look for me 8/28

PSN:DrowsyWoozy

And Bioshock will be fantastic!

Played demo on bro's 360.

[ParaDise_LosT]

Thats your respone?
'dude stfu'?.....

pathetic...truly...pathetic.. .
~edit~
I wasn't asking you to name a game for you guys to play while we play bioshock..
No doubt Ps3 has games this august....
but thats not what MY post is about isn't it..
if your gonna tell me off...atleast stay in the subject...

[ALIEN]

I think Bioshock is a great game, but i don't think the PS3 need it. I think the PS3 has planty of great games coming out this fall and PS3 also have a great line-up for next year too. No doubt Bioshock will be a great game, but saying that PS3 gotta have it, uhmmm..... Naw!

[ShiftyLookingCow]

agreed, +1 for you man. PS3 doesn't have too many games I want this year but thats going to change.

[ThePantsMobile]

The real question that should be asked is "does Bioshock need the PS3?". Do they forget that Irrational and 2k choose which system(s) their game will be available for. With high development costs of the PS3, plus the fact that its bound to make tons of money, my guess is no.

[Clinton514]

For all of the other senseless trouble makers, remember this:
http://n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-...

I'll be sure to refer to this same thread in the future if necessary.

[Ahhhh]

@kingboy - Dude, what the fack, are you seriously trying to bring that up? Come on now, The 360 version, as told by the developers, was about two versions behind the PS3 version. And I personally would be okay with playing the 360 version how it is. Yes, it doesn't look GREAT, but still it doesn't look TOO much worst than the PS3 version.
@ASSASSYN 36o - Nah, he seen it. He just wants to immature and not pay attention and try to bash the 360, like a 7 year old.
@Ps3Fanboy777 - Of course theres going to be "jaggies" on the 360 version, your name says it all. Seriously, are the only people that see something bad about BioShock the PS3 fans that are jealous that the 360 gets the game, at least at the moment, and they don't? Come on now, don't act like a child and diss, whats to be a great game.
@aiphanes - Are you serious?? No great games for next year? Come on now, maybe if you would look around, before making judgments cause your a ps3 fannie, you would see theres gonna be great games for the 360 next year. Not starting anything but out of curiosity, what good games are coming to the ps3 next year? All i can think of is GTA,KZ2 and probably Final Fantasy. I might get a ps3 next year.. just thought id say that so you ps3 fannies don't start callin me an "xbot".. not that i care i just don't feel like hearing it from a fanboy.. -.-

I don't think the PS3 needs BioShock. Mainly because all the "hardcore" PS3 fans insist theres great games coming to the PS3, exclusively, So they don't need this game, cause' theres gonna be all those other great games.

[Bnet343]

I'm guessing after this they would sign some deal with 2K to keep it Xbox 360/Games For Windows exclusive

[Gizmo_Logix]

Loss revenue for 2K. And still lack the increased sales of 360 that M$ would be hoping for. Sorry...not wise.

[BIadestarX]

I will say the same thing Sony fanboys tell xbox 360 owners...
If you want metal gear get a PS3....
Our turn.... if you want Bioshock get a 360...

And no.... Metal Gear has a better chance of coming to the xbox 360 since Sony has no announced purchased exclusibity for Metal Gear... Kojima stated that the game will be exclusive becase he say so and because blu-ray this and that... while bioshop is exclusive to the Microsoft's platforms and Microsoft paid for that... and as you remember... Sony does not pay for exclusive... which translates to ... you are not getting bioshock.... kind of kool... the xbox 360 have seing two huge exclusive franchises born in in 1-2 years... Bioshock, Gears of war... and soon other like Mass Effect... all of them unique and can only be found on the xbox 360... cry me a river fanboy... go on... click that disagree button.. only way you can try to forget your pain.

[Clinton514]

And ignore REAL news, but Kojima and Sony have pretty much confirmed MGS4's exclusivity.

The franchise itself can go to any other console but MGS4 IS exclusive as of now. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

[toughNAME]

"pretty much"

"as of now"

Clinton ... you need to speak with more confidence when your justifying your purchase!
back to ignore list for you

[tfur]

"Our turn.... if you want Bioshock get a 360... "

err... or a PC? duh...

Why would I buy a defective console, when I already have a PC...?

[Ahhhh]

@Clinton514 - "The franchise can go to any other console but MGS4 IS exclusive AS OF RIGHT NOW." yep as of right now. if i remember correctly, the MGS4 Developers did say that they may need to take extra steps so they can get the money to cover development and what not, because he said the PS3 didn't have the big fan base yet, so it might goto 360. I really could care less if it came to 360. i mean it's a great game but i got plenty of great games to play and upcoming games to play to not think bout MGS4.

[xg-ei8ht]

You really know nothing of cpu,gpu or ram do you.

You need to learn alittle first.

Cell is unexplored. Meaning nearly all devs are struggling with it, has nothing to do with rsx. On the subject of rsx, it destroys the 360. Shader power of rsx puts xenos to shame. so please don't even go there.

Madden you refer to runs like sh^t as stated by the ea devs, because they haven't the slightest clue how to use cell.

And you can quote me on that.

Kinda like ubisoft. Need to get a few people in who know what they are doing.

Take cod4. 60fps. and thats min.

FPS is limited by cell knowledge. Not RSX, they know what thats capable of.

All the xbox fans here do make me laugh. I'm not doubting the 360 is a dcent system.

And the games should be decent, considering devs have had their kits for 3years. If they didnt know 360 by now, that would be worrying.

Cell on the other hand has been used for about 1.3years, and still most people are hardly breaking 30% usage.

Cod4 uses 30% of cell. and 60% of 360.

Wait till the fall, and next year, you might not be laughing.

[Infernus]

Oh dear... What's going on here guys? 'Does the PS3 need Bioshock?' lol, no it doesn't.

The PS3 doesn't need Bioshock, Sony has gone for variety and the longer MS sits in the hardcore corner with the 360 and refuses to come out it's in trouble. It might not look like it right now to you 360 guys... but take this under advisement: the Wii is almost the worlds most dominant console and it didn't get there because all it's games got 10/10, it's dominant because it caters to a wide casual audience and hardcore gamers have even got hooked and bought a Wii.

->The Wii has the casuals as it's main audience.
->The PS3 has no main audience, though it's tipped slightly towards the hardcore gamers. It is to produce both casual games, e.g LBP, and hardcore games, e.g Killzone 2, MGS4 and GT5. Although the blu-ray player can also snag the movie buffs.
->The 360 has the hardcore gamers as it's main audience.

Us hardcore gamers make up the smallest proportion of the console market in this next-gen console battle and in order to win this 'console war' no 1 game will decide it, variety and wide appeal will win it.

Stop being so short sighted and look further ahead than a few weeks. Bioshock is a great game. So is Halo 3 (I think). Heavenly Sword is a great game (Got 9.7/10, same as Bioshock's IGN review). Lair is a great game.

I could go on but it's boring to list games lol. I am a gamer first, PS3 fan second. Shortsightedness usually ends up with a lot of people having to eat their words a year later.

For example; MS said, "The Wii is a kids toy!". MS have been proven wrong and have had to eat their words on that point and are now trying to get into the casual market themselves.

Or we have "Haha Sony, Blu-ray won't beat HD-DVD, just give up". Ummm, Blu-ray is winning and will win overall. A lot of people have to eat their words on that.

Now we have "The PS3 needs Bioshock", I hate to think of the sheer number of 360 guys next year that'll be claiming they never said that they uttered that 4 word phrase when they get proven wrong.

Short-sighted comments are bad for you in the long term. I'm still trying to summarise to myself exactly what'll happen next year with this console battle, it's very difficult to judge right now but I think 2008 is the PS3's year simply because I don't know of any big 360 exclusives to top those on the PS3. I'm not going to claim that the 360 will be dead by 2009 because that's impossible to predict tbh. MS could pull a magical bunny out of someone's ass and it could produce the ultimate game, ya never know.

Bioshock is great, yeah. I still wouldn't buy an FPS that lacks multiplayer. I'd rent it. After playing Resistance I think I'd have sold it had it not been for the MP. The story was good and all but the MP made the purchase worthwhile. With Bioshock I wouldn't have that peace of mind knowing I have MP to fall back on. So no the PS3 doesn't need Bioshock. Would some PS3 gamers like to have the option to buy it for their PS3? Yeah I'm sure they would.

[flipsniper]

No No and No

[Genki]

but I am sure that I want this game, and have wanted it since I first heard of it.

[Violater]

This site has gone to hell.
All the sensible people that used to post here are gone and replaced by what?
A bunch of........

[skitzoid]

I'm of the opinion that you don't miss what you never had. Sony doesn't need Bioshock. Having it surely wouldn't hurt :-). What Sony needs to do is get their exclusives out and hope delays are minimal at best from here on out.

Hopefully Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, Folklore and so on, won't see any delays and all make it out this year.

[boodybandit]

I want all the games you mentioned.
bubble 4 u

[Mars Attacker]

This is a silly question. Of course it needed Bioshock!

No point in starting work on a PS3 version now. It'll be just like R6V: ten months late and still inferior.

[xm15e2s]

I don't know if the PS3 needs Bioshock, but I DO know that it needs some MUCH better games, and fast.

[JokesOnYou]

ha ha look at its games so far even its best game resistance would fall in the mediocore category if it were on 360, then sony kids tried to use a remake of an xbox game against 360 fans, talk about desperate and then there is only Lair and HS due out soon, ah ha ha seriously you might as well ask do people need oxygen? disagree all you like but show me a game on ps3 that even scored near a 10/10 ha ha sony kids who are you kiddin=

[PS-Wii-60]

Just to play devil's advocate, there is one...
I'll give you 2 hints...

You mentioned it in your comment.
and
It doesn't involve dragons.

[Imalwaysright]

For those that are dissing Kojima and his masterpiece ya can all kiss my ass cause youre not hardcore gamers

[Figboy]

no, but that doesn't mean *I don't *WANT it!

i think it would be good for the PS3, but a necessity? i'm not so sure.

i'd love to play it on my PS3, on my 40"HDTV, instead of my crappy PC monitor though (i haven't bought an HDMI cable for my computer yet; it keeps slipping my mind).

it certainly wouldn't hurt the PS3 to get this title, but by the time the PS3 version hits, there will be *OTHER anticipated games to give it some fierce competition (ie MGS4, Killzone 2, FFXIII, to name only a few).

and to the guy who said Bioshock is just another FPS; well, that's your opinion, but i really, *REALLY think you're selling the game short, because it's on the 360 and PC, and not the PS3.

you can't really argue with a game that's getting standard 9's across the board.

it's a must have. period.

i'll be buying it on the PC.

[ktchong]

1. Bioshock is not coming to PS3, regardless of what Sony fanboys say or make believe. I'm pretty sure Microsoft has already paid money to keep this one exclusive, but they just haven't come out and said it.

2. PS3 does not need Bioshock, although having it would be a bonus for PS3, but it's not crucial.

3. PS3 needs its own exclusives; if people are gonna buy a PS3, they're not gonna buy it for Bioshock or games that are already on 360/Windows. They want good exclusives.

[Says you]

Considering he thinks he knows the technology of the XBox 360 and the PS3 Not! if you think that lets see a game that can match Killzone 2 oh wait! I forgot there isnt any and dont give me the specs considering anybody here can get them and please you think 512MB is good enough after all the XBox 360 fans saying that Microsoft has deep pockets I would of thought that Microsoft would pay ATI Gigabyte of ram instead of a Megabyte of ram I guess Microsoft doesnt have that deep of a pocket after all if they cant make a Gigabyte of ram even Sony would have done that but choose not to.

[ThePantsMobile]

"lets see a game that can match Killzone 2"

Have you ever played killzone 2? Or how about gameplay videos? Oh wait, theres one. I hate when people use games that are still before PRE-ALPHA stage to defend there argument. If you honestly believe kz2 will look like that you are dumber than I had previously assumed. It may still look good, but they are far from done.

"you think 512MB is good enough after all the XBox 360 fans saying that Microsoft has deep pockets I would of thought that Microsoft would pay ATI Gigabyte of ram instead of a Megabyte of ram I guess Microsoft doesnt have that deep of a pocket after all if they cant make a Gigabyte of ram even Sony would have done that but choose not to."

Don't argue RAM specs from the position of a PS3 fanboy. The 360, with 512MB of unified RAM compared to the PS3s 256MB system RAM and 256MB Video card RAM, the 360 wins, while your argument fails.

(ps, the % comes after the number not before it.)

[Yosking]

This game is gona be great on the 360 and if it does come out on the ps3, heck thats even better. Nothing wrong with a multiplatform game everyone can enjoy...comprende? Am i right?

[fopums]

I want Bioshock more than I would say want Halo 3, but I want KZ2 more than all of them....

If I had to make a list.....Bioshock would sit at...lets see...of course this is hypothetical and this is according to my own preferences

1. KillzOWN 2/GOW3 :D
2. FFVXIII
3. MGS4
4. FFXIII
5. R&C future
6. Heavenly Sword
7. Lair
8. Home/LBP/Bioshock
9. DMC4/Haze
10. UT3/RE5/Halo 3/Silent Hill 5 and so on.....

So yes I would like Bioshock, but Im not going to die if I dont get it

[Lex Luthor]

How many of those franchises have appeared on PS2?
just curious.

[ChefDejon]

as every system needs the games they are getting and thats it

[Covenant]

Well, I don't think PS3 gamers would complain if it DID come to their system.

[7ero H3LL]

The demo was great and the trailer last year showed us that the storm was coming. FPSs were bashed as being the only thing 360 was going to get, but PS3 gamers praise KZ2? And then spout off about Unreal3's timed exclusivity? Someone on another forum said "only 5 days away from a GOTY contender". I agree and I see that this game will no doubt be missed by PS3 gamers. They say that they have KZ2 but they don't have it YET. And fanboys will put it up against games that are out NOW?! KZ2 will compete with the games of ITS time. Most likely the Too Human. Halo3/Mass Effect/Bioshock own this year. If Playstation3 doesn't need Bioshock, then it basically can survive with subpar games, right? No, it NEEDS games like this that achieve such high zeniths in gaming's echelon. The top tier titles are the console sellers, so it goes like this:

Xbox 360 Domination: year two.

[7ero H3LL]

And I truly hope that it DOES go to PS3: it will show how mercifull we 360 elile can be:)

what good's a community forum without a little humor

[7ero H3LL]

(I don "360 eilte" in hopes that "Xbot" goes away, that's so unlike who we are)

[jax07]

I would love to play it but I have a PS3. One reason why the PS3 doesn't need any new titles now is because there are a F*ckin ton releasing this fall. Including Drake and Ratchet which are both going to be monsters. Warhawk will kick our a$$e$, and then PS3 owners will go into debt with the addition of heavenly sword and Nine fields. By the way does anyone other than me see that new card game for the PS3 being an enourmous hit? Just think if they did a Yu Gi Oh or Magic the Gathering game for that it would sell like crack in harlem.

[ThePantsMobile]

I effing hate card games.

[Jigna]

Eye of judgement for the ps3 will be a hit when it comes out. It would also be cool if they made a Yu GI Oh card game using the eye toy...lol that would sell like crazy in japan.

edit@jax "sell like crack in harlem" hilarious lol

[BulletToothtony]

I don't that know much about this game, i have seen videos, and yeah obviously you can't ignore it's getting good reviews.. the funny thing is that if this game comes out and it looks EXACTLY the same or even better it would get a 9.2 or 9.3 at best, and it would've gotten the same 9.1 reviews if this was a ps3 exclusive.

So just cause a game is getting great reviews doesn't mean we need it.. yes i agree that it wouldn't hurt but i don't think we NEED it,

i'm really not trying to put down the game, but when i see H.S. and i see a lot of critics talking crap about it, i realize that we have to play what we get and if we like it, we should enjoy it, not hold this reviews so high, after all it's only one persons opinion..

a few years back a newspaper critic gave High Fidelity(an ok movie) a 10/10 and the week after he gave Gladiator a 8/10 saying that it was too long.. so reviews for me, each week are becoming more and more meaningless

[lawman1108]

So sorry 360 haters, 3 months after it comes out on the PS3 it is on its way to the 360. Ahhhh, to not have spent $600 for a paper weight is a great feeling.

[mos]

MGS4 will never be on crashbox360. You wouldnt be able to play it on 360, disc size too small think before u speak xbot

[Jdash24]

what mos said

@mos...i clicked agree but it added as a disagree, you may have noticed the systems buggy, so ya, just think of that disagree as an agree

@bullettoothtony the same thing happened there, that disagree is actually an agree....n4g just is buggy

[rogue zero one]

i'll play it on PC.. would have been nice to have it on PS3 just to have another title that scored well... oh well, there's a lot of PS3 exclusives to look forward to this Fall... too many FPS games isn't good.. i like variety in my game selection

[eLiNeS]

Do you see any PS3 Exclusives on this list http://www.amazon.com/gp/ne... I didn't think so, nowhere near the front page is a AAA game for the PS3 that is an exclusive. Best just get yourself a Xbox 360, Stat!!!

[RH06]

Rather play on my PS3 or my PC than an xbox..Gears an't even an exclusive since it is coming out on Vista pretty soon! PS3 and Nintendo will be the only console's this time to really have exclusives. Can't wait for HS, Warhawk, Ratchet, KZ2, and many others that I won't get to play on my PC! Unreal and PS3 to PC battles also sounds loveable!

[caffman]

not as sweet as PS3 vs 360 on unreal. Shame it'll never happen

[RH06]

That would be the best if they could do that caffman!

[bootsielon]

But the PS3 would definitely benefit a lot from it. Xbox 360 doesn't need MGS4, but it would help it too.

Unless you mean NOW, then yeah, PS3 needs a game of that caliber now.

[Rasta]

And it will probly sell more and then they would decide to keep the franchise on ps3 becasue of its success.

[mus]

This is xbox 360 ONLY!!!!!!
PS3 wouldn't be able to handle the AI hahahaha

[RH06]

Ya Mus and everyone who own's a PC too, might as well port it to the wii also...

[Arkham]

I'm just going to play it on my PC(s). That's one reason I lean towards the PS3 as my console choice: I have high-powered PC options to fill in the gaps.

While I'd love to play it while reclining on my couches, there's certainly something to be said for m&kb support. Oi.

[dawity]

Consoles may seem expensive but they are cheaper than pc gaming which u have to buy new cpu or the latest graphics card to play. I dont understand fuss about ps3 price, you get better graphics than any other system, lots of cool feature, BLU-RAY, and u get free networking. Frankly I think ps3 isn't expensive at all at least next to pc gaming and the xbox360.

[RH06]

I'd love to sit on the couch and play it, but it more that likely runs better on a PC... or the PS3...

[DuceWilly947]

while i just made my ps3 ports look just as good. We dont need bioshock, we have much better games and a lineup than 360. If the game is so great on 360 why is there only 2 CPU's every frame hmmmm, and why do xbots want ps3 games so bad, because 360's XENON is a piece of crap. COme on now thats why PS3 is leading in sales right, yea PS3 needs all the support it can get yet xbox is littery hanging on life support waiting for halo3 which nobodies gonna care for months later. XBOTS are hilarious get real, i just found out how to make ps3 games look just as good on multiports. Bioshock would be so much better on PS3, There would be thousands of CPU just flanking you on every frame, and the blu ray would help expand the whole experience. From these bullsh*tty post ive come to the conclusion that xbots are just one guy, so youll just all go on my ignore list

[Mandangoof]

Reasons:
-Not a big seller.
-N64 had Ocarina AND Goldeneye
-Dreamcast had Soul Caliber
-GC had Metroid Prime
-Ocarina, MP and SC are I think the top 3 games of all time by rankings, and none appeared on Playstation. Diversity is what helps PS win. This is unfortunately not going to grow the already shooter full Xbox 360 market.

Reasons why it'll appear on PS3
-Cell>Xbox 360 CPU, by far, obviously is possible
-Devs have not said it will NEVER come to PS3, implied to be 2007 exclusive
-Already was in development for PS3
-Already on PC, superior to 360 version obviously.

Reasons why MGS4 will not go to 360:
-Kojima CONFIRMED it could only be done on PS3. CONFIRMED.
-Phil Harrison said it will NEVER come to 360.
-Kojima has total control of title (not Konami) and he hates ports, wants it to be PS3 exclusive.

Though I'm very pleased with this game and its scores. This is the kind of game the industry needs, console wars aside.

[sleepbox]

How about this? I will buy a PS3 when a game is released on it that even comes a single percentage point close to Bioshocks final review average.

[king101]

That already happened when motorstorm came out long time ago. guess u were too busy sleeping bored of your 360
Go back to sleep, sleepbox, wake up when ps4 gets in ur head and controls ur dreams ahahahahahaha

[InMyOpinion]

Very stupid article. PS3 fans don't need anything that's not on their console.

[caffman]

does anybody else feel that you should only be allowed on this site if you register your gamertag or PSN name?

[Nemesis]

That should help keep some of the flaming kids at bay. I've always suspected that a lot of the worst offenders on this site don't actually own a next-gen console at all.

[Havince]

your retarded. the only sleepbox is the PS3

Answer this numnuts, what decent shooter has PS3 got.............Resistance, DONT THINK SO

I saw it for the first time 2 month ago and thought it was apthetic character animation was t0ss

The PS3 would enlift if it had Bioshock, coz its a high class game, its been a long time since iv seen review scores like that.

[king101]

Resistance wouldnt even fit on your crashbox's pathetic DVD-9 drive lol your just jealous because i stated the truth stupid xbot go play your crashbox360....what? it blew up ahahhaa

[jay3]

Yeah, it's selling "Millions" because theres nothing else for the PS3. Don't try to make it sound good. We all know Resistance is Mediocre at best. And yes, i have played it. I played co-op with my buddy.

[Havince]

Thnakyou, well said bubble for you

[Adamalicious]

If you haven't played Resistance you really ought to give it a shot. It's the most fun I'd had with a shooter in a long time and not to be missed by any serious gamer. It may be a pretty straight-forward shooter, it's not intended to be the sort of genre-bending sort of game like Bioshock, but it's an incredibly solid one that's just a blast to play. Seriously don't be so quick to judge it if you haven't at least played through a few levels.

[Geewhizz]

Thought i would add my two pennies worth, Although ps3 would obviously benefit from bioshock, I dont believe it would hurt it by not coming. Most ps3 owners will just play it on pc. That is the difference between this and say, Heavenly sword. You cant play that on pc so xbots would be missing out. If bioshock was exclusive it would add more weight to the argument

[SDS Overfiend]

"Most ps3 owners will just play it on pc. That is the difference between this and say, Heavenly sword. You cant play that on pc so xbots would be missing out. If bioshock was exclusive it would add more weight to the argument"

Who gives a fuk about heavenly sword? If bioshock is another fps Then heavenly sword is just another hack and slash game. At least Bioshcok has gotten most of it score at perfect 10 deservedly so.

just the fact that it Has a 60's B-movie feel with the Cheesy Cartoon commercials during Plasmid activation that look like Uncle Pennybags from monopoly is worth the Price.

" Incinerate, Just When you have to erupt everything into Flames"

With the Snap of a finger, Pure Genius 2K.

[Adamalicious]

I think it will come to the PS3 in 6-12 months time if at all. I don't see why it wouldn't. If they are working on it I'm sure they are under contract not to breathe a word for at least 3 months after it comes out on 360 and PC.

Whether it does or doesn't come to PS3 I don't think I can wait much past Tuesday so it's 360 version for me. The immersion in this game is incredible - it's surprisingly engrossing and disturbing at the same time.

[FirstknighT]

The ps3 has nothing! Bioshock is officially one of the greatest games ever created! Of course this will help the ps3. Especially the sony fanboys who can't stop crying because the 360 keeps on whooping the ps3 in the gaming department!!! Maybe you should write a letter to 2k and start your whining.

[Geewhizz]

I havent actually said anything bad about bioshock. If you read what i said it is in response to the question. I would totally agreee that Bioshock looks like it is going to be game of the year and good luck to it. It looks awsome and system shock two is an all time classic. My main point is that it isnt EXCLUSIVE. If it was then maybe it would hurt the ps3, but anyone can play it on the pc so no one is missing out. I used heavenly sword as an example nothing more nothing less, and also did not call bioshock another fps. Learn to read what I say before you quote me.

[FirstknighT]

"but anyone can play it on the pc so no one is missing out."

You are wrong! Not everybody can play this game on a pc. To play this beast at around the same level as the 360 you would need atleast a Dual Core 2 Processor. The majority of pc's are not powerful enough to run this game at the level of the 360.

[Geewhizz]

I havent said play it at the same level as the 360. Obviously for the best experience i would say play it on console, but I would be quite happy playing a graphically less superior version on pc than buying a new console just to play this game. Isnt bioshock supposed to be about playability not just graphics?

[FirstknighT]

I'm sure for some users that will be enough...but I like to know that I'm playing the game at its absolute best! Especially a game like this that only comes around every 2 or 3 years. So for the absolute best experience for one of the greatest games ever created....You can upgrade your PC with expensive chips, ram, etc..or just get the 360.

Most people want the best possible version of a game. Especially the gamers on this site. From the complaints of Maddens Raiders with his 30fps vs 60fps rant....and all the fanboy talk about Call of Duty 4 for the ps3 having "extra windows" than the 360 version...it's pretty obvious that most would want the best possible experience.

[Geewhizz]

Yea, for me i will quite happily play on pc, but yes nothing will come close to playing this on console at night, on a 42 inch plus tv with the lights off. Either way BIOSHOCK = AWSOME and even as a ps3 owner I would be quite happy for this to be game of the year.

[boi]

woooowwww...so much comments...

anyways does PS3 need Bioshock...well my opinion is not really, Its just the 1 game...YES is a great game at that but people (fanboys/fangamers) will move on...

But if it does come to the PS3 say like next year well I don't think it can do aswell as it did for the 360(my opinion) because so much games coming out for both consoles the coming monthes and IF Bioshock does come to the PS3 I think it will be overlooked by other games by that time...

I say MS will keep this game to themselfs and for these who wants it buy a 360 or the PC version...no harm in that is there?! but just for the 1 game you think its worth it?!

Bioshock is great but not the only game around...

anyways I be playing Bioshock hehe and will be looking forward to playing Bioshock...need to play every good game on any console before I get old lol

and I am a very big Sony fan at that too (Sony events ect)...own all Sony Playstation brands and would back up the *Playstation* brand and will always keep with the *Playstation* brand but to suck it up thats so not good

and why can't the rest be like me lol

[Jeremy Gerard]

Is not likely coming to PS3 because it will probably sell huge on 360, there will be no need to invest the time and money to port this game over to PS3, especially since the PS3 has such a tiny installed base, they will not be desperate for sales with this game, it should sell huge on just PC and 360.

[boi]

Ps3 has not a tiny install base...thats where your wrong, Ps3 just don't have as much as 360s for now...

but the rest your right lol

[Wile]

In a word...No.

But as it was with 360 around this time last year. The PS3 needs it's first super AAA games. And again, like the 360 this time last year, the PS3 will be getting some this fall.

[The Wood]

if it came to ps3 it'll probably be too late for me but after playing the demo through to the end and watching the types of moves/weapons that were shown in the cutscene after i could see this game being accepted swiftly by the ps3 crowd. I would play the pc version just because of my mouse n key support but even with the pad i was sucked in. I had to up the sensitivity a touch because i was getting smacked upside my head but in the console's favor i have no pc input on my plasma so the biggest version of this game i could play would be through console.

I personally thought the graphics, although very atmospheric, weren't really what i was expecting. Ill wait to see what the pc version looks like but on the topic does the ps3 need it? NO, want it? YES

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

With all the drooling PS3 fanboy's do over this game and that fact that the PS3 has nothing to play, would make them need it. It's a high scoring game exclusive to MS products and will probably stay that way. You guys can have Final Fantasy and MGS, I'll take Bioshock because coming from someone who owns System Shock one and two, I know this game will provide nearly 10 years of entertainment like the first two.

[The Wood]

on the flip side the 360 doesnt need any ps3 exclusive they are just wanted. there is a difference between a want and a need.

but is system shock worth picking up. I missed that game and everybody seems to say its kool. what say you? can it be enjoyed in 07??

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Infact been playing it with the high rez mod :)

[The Wood]

im on the case

[aggh im on fire]

'No', says the man from America,'It belongs to the Xbots'.
'No', says the man from Moscow,' You dont deserve this game'.
'No', says the man from the church 'This belongs to God '.

'That is why i built Rapture, where gamers can play freely far from the petty squabilings and morality of N4G'

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

And no says the man at MS you can't have it, "droid?"

[sleepbox]

LOL! Nice reply!

[TheMART]

Yeah the PS3 should need (a game like) Bioshock.

Because there isn't one AAA game where you should really buy an console for THAT expensive. Not one game got over 90% on the PS3 yet. No system seller/killer app.

Bioshock is such a game with an average review close to 10 out of 10.

Fun thing is: its 360/Vista exclusive. This is Waiting dudes!

[WilliamRLBaker]

Of course, Any time one group cannot enjoy something that they should be able too (its not that hard to port it and port it good so it works great) then its a loss.

this is not a biased post saying that the ps3 has no games...ect But I feel that whenever a thing is good, and could give every one some enjoyment to play it, then I feel it should be available to those people regardless the life, the system...ect that they lead.

Its like Christianity, I feel that christianity is a good thing, Belief in something is a good thing, and I feel that people should believe in something, weither it be a god, or people them selves, but if its a good thing then every one should have it. Belief in something whatever that thing maybe if its good for a person, then its good for everyone.

[mike_mgoblue]

It says right on the box that Bioshock is "Only for Xbox 360 and Windows."

In other words, it is a "Microsoft Exclusive" game.

I'm not surprised that Bioshock is doing so well with the reviews.

Bioshock has a chance to literally become the highest rated game in the history of videogames!!!

Bioshock continously is rated with scores of 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5, and all sorts of other PERFECT scores. The lowest the game has scored is 9.5 out of 10.

I am getting the Xbox 360 version of Bioshock, because the Xbox Live demo is SO IMPRESSIVE!!!

Ever since the summer of 2006, the three games that have been winning all of the awards at trade shows like E3 have been Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Bioshock.

Now we know why!!!

Bioshock for the Xbox 360 is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I have literally changed my preorder so that it isn't the standard version, but the Collector's Edition.

In my opinion, when the developers put in this sort of incredible quality for a game, then they deserve to have consumers take a look at the Collector's Edition of the game.

[HateBoy]

Of course the ps3 needs bioshock, stupids, its a great game (based on the experience of the demo) and what console doesnt need good games? The PS3? If you actually think that i recommend you stop fakking your ps3 for 2 secs and actually think about it. Naaa, we (yes WE, as in ps3 owner) dont need it... We can all continue watching the HD movie-trailers on psn... and play the HS-demo over and over and over and over again, maybe play some super stardust hd now that we're SICK and TIRED of RFOM and Motorstorm.

[Bolts]

What PS3 need right now are exclusives from a business perspective. That and as long as 1st party games like Heavenly Sword, Lair and Haze doesn't choke, Bioshock will be nothing more than a nice feather in the PS3 cap. However if those 1st party games all bombed, then not even Bioshock can pull the PS3 out of the nose dive.

Lets also not forget Bioshock's sister game, System Shock, despite having huge critical acclaims and a considerable cult following never made a dent in the market. Thinking man's shooter types tend to review well then collect dust in retail. The Dues Ex series being another good example of that.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You must not know the differance between "not getting it all" to "not getting it for a couple of months". But... then again you a PS3 fanboy so you probably think Ninja Gaiden was exclusive.

[HateBoy]

The people who wrote this article seriously need to start considering suicide, how much of a flamer can you get? This is just asking for it.

[dale1]

bioshock will come to the ps3 no doubt but when remains the question mar 2008

[Lex Luthor]

People must be pretty tired of motorstorm now.

[sak500]

I feel sorry for ps3 owners at this time. Can see the obvious jealousy hidden under their posts saying We dont need bioshock etc. Comeon guys you really dont want the game which is getting highest scores on almost all the sites/magazines? You guys have already missed out on amazing experiences of Lost planet, Crackdown, TDU, COD3, Gears, PGR3, Forza 2, Dead rising etc and only thing you are harping about is R&C, KZ2, MGS4, Lair, GT5 etc most of which are coming mid to late 2008 and one even in 2009. I guess you guys love to wait while you hate the competition. Sony screwed you this time around even you guys realize it but like a true fanboi will not admit it.

YOu think if there was bioshock for ps3 and you had a choice to pick up either bio or lair, you'd go for lair? Only true blind fanbois will not see that even today and till mid of 2008 360 is the better console to have for gaming and dont give me (rap about BD and home. Below are my points.

1. Better multiplatform games (so far and atleast for some more time)
2. More games than the rival (advantage of coming out a year earler)
3. More online content than the rival (as above)
4. Better price
5. Better options for buyers
6. More players online to play with
7. Dont have to worry about any format war (what if BD fails)
8. Deep MS pockets to secure more devs

EDIT: @ the eunich who clicked disagree even if you dont have balls, have courtesy to say why you disagreed.

For those ps3 owners who are saying we'll play on our pcs, hope you have good rigs with atleast 1gb+ ram and 7 series vga cards. I hve a decent rig already listed before but some of the specs are 3.4ghz (o/c) Dual core, 2x1gb 800 mhz dual channel ram, 7950GX2 single SLI 1gb card and 19" Widescreen LCD 4ms monitor, BUT I would rather lay down on my couch with a wireless controller and play Bio on my 50" LCD TV and of course feeling the buzz of the rumble controller while i shoot or get shot.

i can respect the PS3 for what it CAN DO but its not doing anything, there is still No reason for me to buy one at all, and its looking like MGS4 is gonna be the one that finally caves me in. i thought the idea of lair and heav sword were great but then have been dissapointing, with my 360 i have no need to buy a PS3 just for it to be sat doing nothing

Bioshock what a lame game...lol.

Seriously though, Bioshock sells consoles, I have witnessed it. Sony and PS3 needs Bioshock. I need Bioshock, everybody needs BIOSHOCK. It's the game.

Bioshock, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Halo3, GTA IV, Alan Wake, HAZE, UT, COD4, Blue Dragon and many many others will all come to 360. Makes me really wonder why I ever bought PS3 even though some of them comes to ps3 as well, but not the gems, GEMS goes to 360. Sick.

Bioshock can have all the scores it wants, but i asked my 20 or so friends if they were going to buy a game called, "Bioshock". They're looking at me crazy saying what the hell is that. This is my point from the beginning, a lot of people haven't heard of this game and this will limit sales. Even though there are 10 million x box owners with half of them waiting fo their console to be repaired, i will say that this game will sell only a million copies.

"The PS3 doesn't need Bioshock, Sony has gone for variety"

What variety? Where?

You need to actually release some games first.

The only new idea in sonys corner seems to little big planet.

[Z501]

No!People are'nt buying PS3's for a single FPS.BioShock is a great game,but it really does'nt matter cause the 360 won't be around long anyway.(thier track record proves it)Give it 5 more years.

[THC CELL]

wow boishock is the best ya ever gonna see on x box

well maybe halo 2 and gears 2 but thats it lads the power of x box is shown and really to be honest
i will say

Is that it lol

PS3 ftw in power and future games
Starting september

A little honest game here
How many x box 360s will burn out through this game
or see red lights.

Dont say none
mine started up playing gears and forza 2 and oblivion

[Odion]

they have saying Cell that you should use.

If you can't write in the most basic english so your point is understandable STFU and stop trying to troll cause you fail.

[rowdy 1]

I've played the demo, and it was good. But I think gears is better. The ps3 has good games coming down the pipeline and this game would ba great addition, but it's not needed. I really don't see how this game is getting these high scores though. It's not that great to me. just my opinion.

[king101]

I dont know wats all this hype about I played the demo the graphics are too cartoony in bioshock. It didn't even feel real like risistance or heavenly sword. Xbox is just a gimick. cry all u want xbots you know the truth.

[M1am1U]

... umm... I don't even have the words.

[zonetrooper5]

King101 just shut up, Bioshock is the game up there with Halo and Half Life, also try to spell words properly. Your basic grammer is a joke, are you 12?

[Meus Renaissance]

PS3 needing games? First, we need whatever little we are getting NOT being delaying, then we'll dream about more games.

[THC CELL]

x box need mgs and games like killzone,

Haze i am so happy that game is going to hit x box i dont think it will be as good as ps3,

X box needs games that are not really Sequels. Halo 3, Same

[SofaKingReetodded]

this weekend and picking up the components to build me a quadcore SLI, It will look at the 360's little muscles and call it a girly fanboy...lol

[solidt12]

Third party developers can put whatever they want on the 360 and it doesn't matter because Sony will still have the best, and the Most first and Second Party development companies making exclusive games for the PS3. Tell me one once 360 exclusive that is not on the PC or in development for it?

[solidt12]

Metal Gear Online Beta has started in Japan already on the PS3 and will be coming to the US next which is like very soon. I bet around the time Halo 3 comes out. This year on the PS3 we have Unreal Tournament 3, Warhawk, COD4, and HAZE so no reason to get worked up over one exclusive when Sony still has many Shooter games coming. Warhawk will be here next Week and you can take the fight to the air or the ground with plenty of vehicles and will be loads of fun.
