In February of 2007, I wrote a story entitled "Bioshock coming to the PS3? No. Maybe. Probably. Yes!". Within hours, we were contacted by 2K Games who answered that question with a firm "no." But rumors continued to persist, and in November 2007, Jim Sterling reported that an official moderator on the 2K forums said "There will be no PS3 version of BioShock. It has been explained time and time again."
And that was that. The 2007 Game of the Year, and Xbox 360 and PC exclusive BioShock is never coming to Sony's console. Forget about it.
Wait, no ... don't forget about it! Because according to the rumors in the latest Electronic Gaming Monthly, BioShock is coming to the PS3 later this year with the extras the other versions got post-release. And today, word comes that the latest issue of UK magazine PSM3 will contain information and screenshots on the forthcoming version of BioShock for the PS3.
2K's not talking, but I think it's pretty safe to say PS3 owners will have the chance to dive into the underwater city of Rapture later this year. They should be excited; I hear the game is pretty good.

[Update: There was really no question about it, but this has now been confirmed. The upcoming issue of EGM will have the full scoop on the game, as well as an interview with the sequel's creative director, Jordan Thomas.]

It has a gripping narrative and great gameplay WHILE you're playing it, but I forgot about it as soon as I took it out of my system. It really didn't "stay" with me like I thought it would. Plus, I feel the replayability is very low.
so far 360 ports to PS3 have been less than stellar, let's see what 2K can do w/ this.
Great news if true! Not holding my breath however.
My guess is this will eventually happen. Mark my words if I'm right.
There - now you dont need to play it.
hmmmmmm.. Not quite "extra features" but I guess this is exciting news for those who have yet to experience this game.
seriously, if true, its a little late in coming, but a great game that should grace both consoles. i do agree with the linearity of it, but great narrative and atmospherics.
Would you kindly give me some credit - I would never spill the secrets in this great game.
Hee.
Still, Bioshock was a blast. I would have preferred it to be harder (I played it through at the hardest setting available and it was not difficult). The ease of resurrection, along with the fact that regardless of your choices, you still ended up with almost all of the upgrades left it all feeling a little devoid of real danger or decision making. Because I'm strangely obsessive, I refused to continue playing if I died and was resurrected, instead loading an earlier save game. Made it a little more tense, but knowing what it COULD have been... /sigh
I couldn't help but LOL @ the "Xbox's best shooter" line though. I thought Bioshock was decent, but nothing special. A solid rental.
F???ing Take Two... I didn't buy a Wii fit for nothing!
I also didn't use vita chambers. If I died, I quick loaded back to a safe spot I saved at earlier. That was the only way it made sense to me. Otherwise, whats the point of caring about your own life then?
This on PS3 makes me happy to have more people play this great game. But what I'd really love is if more people had a chance to play SS2. Seriously, I made a friend play it with me co-op patch because he had never played it and doesn't retro game much. He thanked me afterwards :)
I dislike the fanboys as well, but let's not get carried away and forget the two expansions to the game that were worked on and came out in that one year period as well. They did a tremendous job on the cross-platforming of the game and it was well worth whatever time it took them to get it done as well as get in both of their expansions into one game. I hope all conversions get as much attention as Oblivion did, exporting to the PS3 or the 360.
