Bioshock PS3*

solid 30 fps = sold
imo

 

Hrmm I wonder if they'll let you unlock framerate to get >30FPS like the 360 version.

 

LOL, for a second there I thought you mean "unlock" as in achievements/trophies sort of thing I think de-synchronize would be a better term.

 

I assumed that most Unreal3 engine titles would get a boost on the PS3 due to the sharing of improvements in the engine derived from the development of Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3.

Much like a lot of the early gains on the 360 version of the engine could be attributed to the efforts put into Gears of War.

The PS3 version of the engine is just a year behind due to Epic's focus on the 360 in 2006 with Gears. They then caught up on thr PS3 version in 2007 whilst developing Unreal Tournament.

That was my understanding, anyway.

 

Are they serious? Comparing PC to the consoles? I've played just the demo on PC, and there's no contest there..

Looks better than the previous trailer. Improved framerate too.

The port might end up very good after all

 

Gah, October again. >_<

Looks very atmospheric indeed. Will most likely pick up a copy even if it clashes with LBP (schedule-wise).
This might be the first game I play with trophies and Home.

 

I have installed it on my PC, and yes the atmosphere is very spooky, specially the whispering voices of the characters around you. The art direction is the "toppest" notch. Really , the whole game feels superb just because Rapture looks so cool and cohesive. Its like a dark grim alternate place.
Character models and shaders are bad(single shader characters), but the awesome environment created by the city and the sounds won't let you get bothered by that.

The site is very impressive, 2K is pushing the PS3 version quite a bit, sadly it is still releasing along side Little Big Planet.

 

Somehow I don't think those two games are in that much competition with each other. I could be wrong of course ...

Personally I love the world of Bioshock. I just wish was an adventure game or something, not a souped up shooter. I don't know. I'm also not sure why I don't like the fighting in Bioshock, whereas for some reason I seem to like Resistance.

 

Well, it's not really about "competition", per se.. it's more like releasing a movie the same week as Dark Knight.. You'll get lousy numbers because everyone's in the theater next door, not because you're in direct competition.

Me, I rarely buy more than one game at a time. I've done it only once or twice in like.. ever. It's more about money, really.. why spend all that money at one time if you're only going to play one of them at a time? LittleBigPlanet, Bioshock, FarCry2, and Fable II are all releasing on the same day. Granted, I'm only interested in two of those, but still. I'll pick a "favorite" to start with (LBP), and then pick up the other one a few weeks later.

 

I know they aren't necessarily competing but the majority of ps3 owners I know have LBP at the top of their list. Personally I have set aside enough for both, and honestly I am more interested in Bioshock. LBP will be very fun but I have been waiting for Bioshock forever.

I just hope it sells okay, most likely will in the long term but not so much in the short term.

 

I think it's foolish to release this game at a 60 dollar price point a mere two week or so before the release of three big Sony published games. This will probably sell as well as Orange Box PS3 numbers-- a couple hundred thousand.

 

So they should wait another year so it'll sell more? It's not really hard for a port to make money, I think they'd consider a couple hundred thousand a success.

 

Honestly, they should have released it around the same time as the original. Bioshock is kind of "old hat" by now... the only people who haven't played it already are the ones who own only a PS3, and don't have a computer capable of pushing it. I played the X360 version over a year ago. I've since "upgraded" to the PC version when Steam had it on sale for $15.

That's another thing... when you can buy the other two versions of the game for around $30 or so, it would piss me off to have to pay a full $60 for the "new" one.

You've got to be kidding me.
