Looks like PlayStation 3 fans are about to get a little more BioShock for their BioBucks, if this new rumor is anything to be believed. When it was first revealed that BioShock would be heading to the PS3, people wondered if any decent exclusive content was on the way, and it now it seems that it may well be.
Among the "insider info" floating around is news of a brand new opening movie for the game that is said to run at six minutes long and show what Rapture was like before the fall. More importantly, a whole new level is said to be exclusive to the PS3. This is rumored to be the "zoo" section that 2K was unable to put into the 360 release due to time constraints. Trophies will apparently be part of the game as well, along with the obligatory Sixaxis support. For the graphics whores, increased visual quality, reduced loading times and less pop-in are also on the cards.
Again, this is nothing but gossip right now, but if it's true, then Sony fans have a lot to be smug about. Aside from the opening movie (I don't need to see Rapture pre-fall, I have an imagination, thanks), there is some juicy potential here to make BioShock PS3 superior to the original.
If you're an Xbox 360 guy though, here's hoping for DLC, right?

I second the youtube motion.
4GB mandatory install supplied at no extra charge? Better get finishing those copies of MGS4 so you can make room for Bioshock :P
I doubt it will be worth a rebuy though.
I think I might go replay it, actually <_<
Anyway, offering opening movies as extra content is silly, we all have youtube. Levels... yeah, that's good. Should have new plasmids, though. Maybe a fanboy plasmid, that causes your enemies to get mad over the smallest things and eventually collapse against the wall crying.
<_< just a thought.
Quit your flames.
Hopefully the new stage/area can be on the PC version. It already has the better graphics not seen on the 360 and I'm positive the PS3 version wont be better looking in that regard.
This strive to give games exclusivities to fight the console wars seems pretty cheap to me. Just make a the fucking game with all content in it in the first place and be done I say. DLC, re releases, and most gamers willing to spend more money will disagree with me, and probably will forever in this new age of gaming. But whatever. Get off my lawn!
2K should make these updates available as XBL download.
Why would they do that? There would be no incentive for people to buy the PS3 version. They're a company, they want to make money.
I don't think of it as a year later, I think of it as a year better. :)
