Levine confirms no PS3 BioShock and does mea culpa on PC issues -- success hurts

I mean the Zune has to go against the Juggernaut known as the ipod so I dont blame Ms if the Zune isnt succeeding...LOL

They may have had plans to once release it on the PS3 before Microsoft paid for exclusivity.

Duh. It was planned for PS3 at some point, but then progress was halted and some traces of old code remain.

because there was a ps3 build but it got scraped after MS bought the exclusivity.

As I've done a bit of programming I know the golden rule:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Removing stuff takes time and risks breaking the code in some way and taking even more time. It's a lot simper, safer and faster just to bypass the redundant code and features. Normally this isn't a problem (Sonic 2 is riddled with missing levels and music and it's fun to find), but when you get the infamous "Hot Coffee" insedent, you should take you time to delete something.

That's the reason I'm gonna pass on the keyboard 'n mouse scheme this time.

I thought PC gaming is ill because of night vision.

One only has to look at Galactic Civilizations 2 to see the effect of night vision on a game with no copy protection in this modern day.

Remember how Starforce posted a link to a pirated copy of GC2 in StarDock's forums? Copy protection and the companies that sell that snake oil will do anything to grind this industry to dust and make a buck while they're at it.

Funny, I've been told PC gaming has been dying for about 10 years now, yet I've still got a PC and I'm still playing games on it.

That's why iTunes and other digital music sellers are pushing the major labels to ditch DRM. PC game publishers should follow suit--every copy protection scheme ever conceived has been hacked to pieces. People who want to pirate, will. People who just buy the damn game, meanwhile, pay the price. It's always been that way, but I guess business types are immune to common sense.

Yeah, I wonder how long 'till the crack hits the web?

like... not to be a dick or anything... but if you have a gaming rig powerful up enough to play next gen games like BioShock, why the eff wouldn't you have the internet?

Perhaps you should spend a little less money on your Nvidia Quad SLI Super 10000mb video card, and a little more on utility bills.

Not a miracle a game....maybe? The PS3 is still a great Blu-Ray player go buy some movies until the games come out....Or by some games for yinkour PC sice you dont wanna support the 360 even though either way your supporting MS...Hey Crisis comes out in November I think?

The double standard is amazing with ps3 fanboys. Swear up and down that they wont lose a exclusive like MGS4 but find ps3 in a ini. file and its magically coming too ps3. But not all ps3 owners are like that though and those are the ones i hoped would experience bioshock.

Is MGS4 going to be on the PC as well? You know..like Bioshock and Gears, and Lost planet.

LMAO! Yeah, go with the code everyone. The "pr people" are just spinning tales to screw with us.

I saw a rumor of a rumor that said if it wasn't released on the PS3 10 babies would be ate by penguins - so you know the devs won't allow that. Bioshock is PS3 bound!

Ahahahaha, that was great.

The nVidia card way outperforms the ATI card according to Tom's Hardware's charts.

What driver issues are you concerned about? If it's Vista, I think nVidia has improved the most. I hear ATI's drivers are still having the most problems on that OS. I don't know about any issues with Bioshock specifically.

Keep hope alive! Keep hope alive!

No seriously now, let the rumor die man. There is no PS3 version. Stop trying to find hope in explicite denials.

Nah, I've got too many games I enjoy on that system to trade it in. Especially Resistance. I would give up Gears before I would give up Resistance. (And I know some of you wonder why I would possibly say that so I'll tell you)

- First, RFOM is a much longer game than Gears was. And even though it was a long game, it only got more fun the farther into I was.
- More interesting weapons that you could use in very clever ways that really changed the way I saw weapons in an FPS. And I've been playing FPSs since Wolf3d.
- Several missions in the game had jaw dropping and just plain fun battles in what can best be described as walking alien tanks, as well as other more standard vehicular fare.
- Graphics that really showcase what the PS3 is capable of in the later levels (it's really a shame that none of the review images or videos showed these later levels off, either.)
- A solid and intriguing story that a Halo fan could appreciate (no, not as in depth as the books, but more in depth that the games were - and yes, I'm complimenting Halo, so don't get all hot and bothered by that.)

Sure, the graphics weren't up to the same par as Gears was in post processing effects (notable the leatherization techniques used in Gears was spectacular.)

All in all, it was a game that ended up being more fun than Gears was for me, especially after multiple playthroughs. But don't take that to mean that I think Gears was a sub par game. Far from it. I loved Gears and I still own and play it. I just feel RFOM was a better overall game that didn't get the credit it deserved from gamers because it came out on an unpopular console. It's a shame, really.

AHHH! SHUT THE FUCK UP!

With grammar being near dead on the web, I was surprised to hear that some people have gone 'threw' 2-6 consoles since launch...

I also found it amusing to hear you describe 360s as easybake ovens - I thought the PS3 had the home cooking/videogame market all tied up with the George Forman PS3 Grill!
