If you've read our latest report on Bioshock, then you're probably inclined to search out for information on the mysterious and PS3-exclusive "survivor mode." What is it exactly? Well, the Cult of Rapture -- 2K's official Bioshock website -- explains that it's a "new, highly challenging difficulty."
In other words, it's a fancily named "very hard" difficulty with all the bells and whistles of an excruciatingly masochistic romp through Rapture. "Every fight is a decisive, life-or-death struggle," said 2K. Enemies are tougher and deal more damage. It looks like Bioshock vets who want to give the game another go with the PS3 version have another reason to play through. And look, it has trophies so you can show off those mad skillz. You can read more about survivor mode here.

Still not enough to warrant purchasing another copy. Honestly the game has been out for a long time now and this is the best that they could offer?

heh, that's cute how everyone takes your double post and plays with it, ignoring your point.
but i'll side with you on this one. it's been a year and the extras don't even seem to warrant an extra purchase for those that own it already.
it's a cool game and all, the more people that play it the better. but it really seems that all the time was spent into getting it ported to PS3.

It's enough to warrant another purchase for me, and I own both the PC and 360 Special Editions... I am a huge fan of System Shock 2, and Bioshock, and I would buy a Special Edition of this version as well...
By the way 2k Games, I'm still waiting for my Big Daddy replacement and Artbook I applied for almost a year ago, and somehow everyone got theirs but me.

The commenting system at Joystiq sucks royal ass and hiccups and double posts all the time so I get a rash of shit for it. Sheesh!
I guess it was pretty funny though.
