BioShock Coming to PlayStation 3

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Hey, I'm a 360 owner. So what?

not talking generally, just I don't own either console and whenever i suggest I'm going to buy the ps3 my friends (the ones who owns 360's anyway) immediate reaction is usually 'OMG BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE HALO!!!' and afer I've said I never really enjoyed halo 2 and 3 that much thier next reaction is 'OMG BUT IT DOESN@T HAVE BIOSHOCK' (coming from people who know ive already played it through on the PC )

Scary how console wars turn rational people insane sometimes...

Last time I talked games with one of my friends was when he told me that Samus Aran wouldn't stand a chance against Master Chief.

Dang. I'd wish they'd told me before I'd gotten the PC version during Christmas.

? That's the best version....

If you can run it maybe. Some of us are working off of Celeron 2.4Ghz processors, 256 mb of ram, and an Integrated GFX Card. Well... Probably only me

*I actually traded it in, it was good for a first playthrough, but I never felt compelled to play it again, but, good for the PS3 owners.

-but he bought the game, so I just assumed that he had the system to run it, who the hell would be crazy enough to buy Bioshock for PC with an integrated graphics card?

(If you did this, just don't answer that)

Bioshock isn't that demanding, it just looks so pretty that people think it is demanding, get a dual core processor (which you can find for 50 dollars) and you'll be fine as long as your GPU isn't bad.

I had a problem with sound not coming on but that was my fault, I didn't disable my integrated sound card and GPU (which are practically worthless IMO, they couldn't even load websites).

PC version has that patch that gave all that new content and the new difficulty mode that removed vita chambers, but it's the same game on practically all 2[3] systems, but overall, it's worth about 2 playthroughs.

and just to throw this out there, Steam has a great deal on the game.

Wasn't really a problem of technical specs; I play all my PC games on a laptop (only computer I have), so it can turn bad sometimes if things get heavy but mostly BioShock ran fine. But I bought it on PC because it wasn't on PS3 and everyone and their mum was telling me I had to play it.

but he bought the game

I iz a gurl, lulz

He he.

Wewt, good for us. I've been dying to play this, but unfortunately, my pc is an Athlon Sempron 3200 with an Nvidia GFX g-card.

Well that's understandable, it just sounded like you didn't enjoy the PC version, hence why I brought it up.

-and damnit my psychic space brain has failed me again.

Bioshock for PS3 means more money for 2K which means more good games like Bioshock. Win Win for all.

Bioshock for PS3 means a couple of things, most of which have already been discussed above, and as such I won't mention them. The one other new door that has been opened is the greater range of choice. Some people like the PS3 controller setup, others like the XBOX controller, and others keyboard/mouse. While I have played Bioshock (and beaten it) on my XBOX, I felt the keyboard/mouse layout of PC was infinitely more playable.

For those who enjoy the PS3 controller, this will give them a more familiar feeling of control, rather than having to re-learn their controller handling skills (much as many a player did in the day of the W-shaped N64 controller).

I get your point - but I don't think controllers was a good example, since there are all sorts of gamepads for the PC, and hell, even the PS3 has some other gamepads.

 

[Broken Blade]

I'm actually excited about this. I have to confess that once I heard about Bioshock and all of the things in it, I slightly regretted giving my little brother my 360 and buying myself a PS3 (I had two games for the 360, 99 Knights and Halo 3, and I never opened Halo 3 and I only played 99 Knights once before my 360 became a glorified DVD player after two Christmases ago. So sue me, I also got FFXII for Christmas, and it was better than the 360). Now I get to see what all the fuss is about. I'll probably suck at it, since I can't do first-person shooters to save my life, but oh well.

Besides, if it does well, then Bioshock 2 will be released on all three systems that matter (PS3, 360, and PC. Yes, PC isn't a console. I know. Shut up.) And there will be much rejoicing. Yay.

I'd like to argue that the 360 is the best version, if only because of the extra Sander Cohen stuff.

Not necessarily - PC gamepads are all somewhat lacking, due to what I would call obscenely poor axis control by comparison. Not to mention (although I personally dislike it), PC drivers for PS3 controllers do not support SIXAXIS. As for the different controllers on PS3, I've yet to see any third party controllers shaped differently from the first. Correct me if I'm wrong though: That would be something to take a look at.

What extra Sander Cohen stuff is that?

 

[The_woods_man]

I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the first shots of the 360 version. Yey!

 

[RubberChickenMan]

A great game that us, ps3 owners, deserve.

brilliant news.

 

[Pandalisk]

I struggle to play effin Portal!!

I may be late for the party but dammit im going to enjoy the party regardless, even if im two years late and the friends who had the party have long since moved.

Besides, what the hell are you doing clicking on a news link that is blatantly obviously two years old? people see Bioshock on Ps3, they think old news and dont click and get on with their lives on the forums, or like me they think "HOLY CRAP HOW DID I MISS THIS!!!!?" and goddamn click

 

[Logan Westbrook]

Yeah, let's not turn this into an argument shall we?

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

For once I say yay for the PS3 fanboys
