BioShock PS3 features 'exclusive' DLC scenarios

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 15th 2008 6:15PM

BioShock for PS3 will feature "exclusive" DLC puzzle scenarios which take place outside of the game's narrative -- the DLC will be accessible through a separate section on the main menu. There is currently no release date or pricing at this time.

The BioShock DLC takes place in arena-type levels designed to look like Rapture. The scenario we saw involved a little sister stuck atop a Ferris wheel -- she needs to be rescued! The first thing that has to be done: Hit the control box with the shotgun's electric buck, causing the wheel to move a little. To move it a little more requires finding a booby-trapped room featuring an electric crossbow inside a safe. Shoot the control box with the crossbow and cut the line to give it a charge, and the wheel moves a little more. Every electric item found will move the wheel a little more until the Little Sister is saved. No other scenarios were discussed.

Save? I killed every little sister I saw while playing on the 360. Whoops.

You monster.

(in the creepiest little sister voice).....NO NO, NO NO NO !!

I am on the level where I have to become a Big Daddy. Am I close to the end of the game?

You monster!!

Saving them gets you the better ending anyways.

Screw exclusive DLC. It's par for the course now. MS tries to get major play from it, now Sony too. and Activision seems to be working it harder than anyone.

How about just delivering good games to customers who want to buy them instead of engaging in shenanigans?

Meant for Obie.

Wait what? I so replied to Obie. The Hell happened?

That certainly doesn't sound like puzzle gameplay. That sounds like "find all the different coloured keys before the door will open." We did that in Doom.

Exclusive content matters for games that aren't over a year old. This is a silly stab in the dark, and if Sony spent any money on it, they should try to get it back. They're obviously spending on the wrong things.

Did Sony themselves downplay the importance of Exclusive Downloadable content? lol@them

Plus, I'm sure the PC version, at the least, will get this eventually.

didn't*

This is probably the funniest thing in this thread because GTA 4 is gonna be at least 6 months old when it gets any exclusive content and probably a year or more old when the second batch shows up. But old Marty will be splooging all over that since it's 360 content. Such a sad little fanboy.

That explains the five different developers working on the project right now.

They get bioshock, We get FFXIII. Fair trade.

lol...

Was that sarcasm? I personally didn't enjoy Bioshock all that much, but even if I did, I'd find it hard to believe you could compare one single game, to what's arguably the biggest videogame series of all time.

@nostromer

Too bad more people don't see the way you do. Sony fanboys are acting like it's the end of the world even though they still get the play the game in the end.

No...give me Mass Effect. I want that more than I want FFXIII anyways.

+! on mass effect

Get a PC. Then you can play the best of both worlds cause neither console is competing with it.

Doesn't sound very interesting.

yeah i have bioshock on 360 and im buying it again on PS3 just because. Its a hellaciously good game :)

Then you are dumb.

... I gave you an upvote, just because.

The DLC will be accessible through a section on the main men? Do these men come with the game?

If so, I'd rather this game come with women.

This is retarded. Remind me to wait 2 years before I buy any games from now on to make sure I don't get screwed out of content. Way to shoot your PC supporters in the foot 2k, way to go.

I WAS excited at the prospect of downloadable content for Bioshock UNTIL I read this article. I'm not interested in little puzzle scenarios. Frankly, I was expecting more areas to the main game or another chapter to the story.

Yeah, I'd say I'm disappointed.

My only complaint with the 360 Bioshock was that there was no penalty for dying, which made it seem kinda pointless if you ask me. I realize there was a DLC to fix that, but I don't have the money to get internet on the 360. Will that particular feature be int the PS3 version?

Bioshock PS3 features "exclusive" DLC chores... I mean scenarios.

*has flashbacks to childhood*

"Mooommmmm! Can I stop playing Bioshock now and do homework? I promise I won't leave my wet towels on the bathroom floor anymore!"

"Mom can I eat my vegetables because shooting this gun in this video game is just cruel."

***Proceeds to beat you with the extension cord

You're upset because I'm able to form my own opinion rather than base it on the praise of advertisement funded reviews? People are sheep, lemmings, take your pick of animal. No doubt 90 percent of the people who praise this game didn't form their own opinion based on playing the game.

The game is a chore, the gunplay is appalling, the enemies are generic and did I mention it was a chore to play? Sorry I'm just bitter I spent $39.99 at CompUSA on a Sunday sale a week after it released on a digital version of everything I don't want to be doing. I just didn't find a damn thing fun about the game.

So please excuse me if I don't share your obsession for this sub-par shooter.

Not to say some people didn't genuinely love the game, I'm sure there are quite a few. I also think it was just their rotation in the spotlight, and that the actual game wasn't deserving of the praise and admiration it received. In any case I'm done watching House for today, so I'm going to go spend some quality time with a video game of my choice.

Bioshock was a mindless shooter with as much depth as Doom.

Oh, wait. Doom had more than 2 enemy types.

...dude, I think he was trying to play the part of Mom.

Granted, that guy usually is a douche.

Gimmick.

Save a Little Sister from the top of a ferris wheel? They can't even get their own mythos straight. Just blow her off the top, the damned things are immortal.

Double post courtesy of that piece of shit, the iPhone.

For such a acclaimed game I do not know why people are brushing this off. (Xbots)

Better Graphics and Exclusive DL!!.... I will have to pick this up.

Xbots? What an endearing term. If you've ever been around Joystiq you'd know I've always had a foul taste in my mouth from the time I spent with this shallow game. The game isn't good; don't waste your money on it. This is from one gamer to another, an honest and objective "opinion." Funny, objective opinion has to be some sort of oxymoron.

The graphics are not improved in any way. It's a port.

I find Bioshock for FF a fair enough trade. Ive always wanted Bioshock...FFXIII not so much.

@AntiCrawl

Now it just looks like you are imposing yourself as a Xbot. Good game or bad game is subjective. I remember playing it on the Xbox so I can sure as say this will be a bit better bargain to get it on the Ps3.

And remember...Appreciate Intellectual Story Line like MGS4 and Assassins Creed.

I'm not a fan of any system; they all have their positives and negatives. What I am a fan of is the games and the quality of said games. You just can't handle the fact that one person doesn't grovel at the feet of a mediocre game like Bioshock. Sure the story was somewhat interesting, but games are supposed to be a bit heavier on the interactive entertainment. If you want a great story without the joy of interaction read a book, I read books, they can be quite pleasant. The game was a terrible game, and that is my honest opinion. I've never stated it as fact; perhaps you're the one who should read more.

You're not honestly implying Assassins Creed or MGS4 have intellectual plots, are you?

Because really, neither of those games dabble remotely into the game of making you or anyone else playing them think about what the hell is going on.

Well, maybe MGS4, but that's only because the writing was convoluted as hell.
