BioShock Infinite features Move functionality, free BioShock 1 on PS3

by JC Fletcher on Jun 6th 2011 9:14PM

Ken Levine from from Irrational Games has just revealed that the latest in the alternate-history, deeply narrative-focused BioShock series will add a bit of hand-waving to the story -- because the PS3 version of BioShock Infinite will support PlayStation Move motion controls.

"We're gonna have PlayStation Move on BioShock Infinite," he said clearly. But the team is still working on exactly how that will be implemented. Another nice bonus implemented in the PS3 version: a free copy of the first BioShock, right on the Blu-Ray!

Will it use Kinect for 360? I am very much considering getting this on PS3 instead now.

@Mrblonde57
What would kinect be good for in bioshock? voice commands?
Anyways its awesome we getting bioshock 1 for free, that game is one of the best games ever.

@Mustang Fanboy

The same good that Move will use

@Mustang Fanboy It would be good for anything the move is. What with given Kinect can be used in tandem with a controller and all that.

@Mrblonde57
You can actually control the player with move dude instead of being on rails like kinect dude.

@Robborboy
And which games are doing that? None.

Kinect has still not been proven to work with shooters, while Move works splendidly with RE5, Killzone 3, Socom 4, MAG...

waggle waggle.

Move will actually be useful. Like the Wii Remote, you have a pointer interface PLUS buttons.

Kinect could be interesting, but it's hard to imagine how that would work on a game like BioShock.

Good for them !!! ..... i guess.....

LEVINE: "We're gonna have PlayStation Move on Bioshock Infinite."

TRANSLATION: "Sony drove a dump truck full of money up to my house."

@A Sandwich lol you silly little goose sony isnt Microsoft they spend their money on first party games not getting stuff on other peoples games.... they dont have enough money to drive up trucks of money

So to summarize every single E3 announcement

This is excellent news. Not so sure about Move support but I'll try it out anyway. I rented the first but own the second, and have pre-orderd the third. Now I have no reason to buy the first. This is so awesome. A FREE game. And it's BIOSHOCK. Hell yeah.

I'm sold already. I never got into BioShock. I will now.

Bioshock 2 never happened.

The motion controls will probably just be tacked on. Since Ken wasn't really sold on the move in the 1st place. He most likely only doing this because Sony gave him a crap load of money.

@gnark1ll420
That'd be my bet too.
Both Microsoft and Sony have been pushing the use of their respective waggle toys on all their new cool games more than the games themselves.

When I was in my kitchen listening while grabbing a drink I heard the guy come out saying something like

" Hi i am so and so and i just wanna say in a article i said some bad things about Sony's Move controls and well now i take that back "

First Gabe Newell last year now this guy i just laughed my ass off and thought wow 2nd guy two years in a row eating their own words about playstation related stuff. tho the guy seemed nervous at first but when he kept talking he either didn't get nervous OR that's just how he sounds. Either way when i saw him speak about it he didn't sound like he was really sorry about the comment and he didn't seem interested in the move still but maybe it was just me.

Done. That decision is one less thing to worry about in 2012.
Now, I'm just hoping to hear about some 3D implementation!

This is pretty good for the people who haven't played it yet, cant wait for Infinite still trying to finish the second one but its kicking my ass.
