BioShock coming to PS3? PC demo code says it is

Bioshock - Image 1 


Earlier rumors about BioShock's release for the PS3 have been quashed and dealt with a few months ago, but the interesting config.ini file found in the PC BioShock demo revealed a quite interesting bit of news. Check out this bit of code taken from PC BioShock demo's config.ini:

[Console]


Console (XBox360, PS3) specific settings


StreamingDynamicFloatingLimit: If this is a positive number, then instead of using the fixed per-level limits, the StreamingDynamic resource will use as much memory as is available as long as the total memory allocated by the game is less than the specified number. In other words, StreamingDynamic will grow and shrink to fit to the available memory instead of being locked to a fixed budget StreamingDynamicFloatingLimit=500


You read that right, there's indeed "PS3" listed in the possible console specific settings. Is it because Irrational Games and 2K Games decided to release BioShock on Sony's PlayStation 3 after all? However, there's also a possibility that the PS3 bit was put in before it was determined that BioShock is going to be an exclusive title for the Xbox 360. There's so many speculations that can be drawn by that small bit of information, and it is certainly intriguing.

We're going to keep you tabbed on this bit of news so stay tuned!

it's just part of the unreal 3 engine. depending on how well UT3 performs on the PS3 hardware you just might see Bioshock

Would be good news for PS3 owners but i think you'll find that those settings related to unreal engine 3 and are not specific to BioShock code.

# and get the 10 0r 15% ps3 deal ExclusivityGuest 2007-08-21 21:52
5 miilion ps3 owners, if 2 million buy it, thats $120,000,000 and it would cost them 20-30 million to invest in ti to make it better on ps3, they get $90,000,000 or more worth their time, hell they might even sell more ps3 with that



okay PS3 =5 million and Surging(Red Ring Of GayNess)

360=10 million(1+ year advantage, rushed crap HardWare)



take 2 has lots of cumputer support from sony, willing to help,

THEY DID MAKE GTA better on ps2

I wouldn't get too excited about this...I can't see it happening for ps3. If it was coming it would be months later and prob a lazy port. hell if you want to pay it that badly get it for PC! Thats where fps belong!

"calm down!" is right, this isnt a game for console, if it is as good as they say it is, you want a killer pc to play it not a console, i think a console would ruin the game because it wouldnt be as immersive as if you played it on PC

# If it's not published by Microsoft it isn't exclusive (forever anyway)Guest 2007-08-22 01:52
Think about it guys. It's like saying Haze and UT3 are exclusive to the PS3. They are, but for a short time. The odds that Bioshock will be on the PS3 are high, but I'm sure it's a timed exclusive thing. I will bet you anything sometime just after Xmas it'll be announced. Just like Oblivion....which was tagged 360 exclusive, yet still made it to PS3.

# so far behindGuest 2007-08-22 04:22
this was already confirmed by the game company how many months ago. 360 and pc get the game first, ps3 to follow in due course.



Seriously come on, you have to do some reading before posting this type of information..



It's already confirmed!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

# Not 'is' coming, 'may' be coming.Guest 2007-08-22 04:27
It's a possibility, and it would be great, but I wouldn't hold my breath.



If the 360 is to get a MGS game, it could be similar to NG Sigma on the PS3, i.e. a special remake of a last gen game, in this case MGS3.



We'll see.

# Sony fanboys piised off when talking MGS4 on 360Guest 2007-08-22 04:33
When anyone says MGS4 coming to 360 in the near future then sony fanboys will vigourously deny it, hey it's ok to talk about bioshock on PS3 but not ok to talk about MGS4 on XBOX 360 according to Sony fanboys.



These rumors will be true EVENTUALLY...



Bioshock will come to PS3

MGS4 will come to XBOX 360 (inform of substance/subsistance like versions with extras)

# MGS4 will come out on XBOX360 because microsoft will throw there money around...Guest 2007-08-22 04:49
I think MGS4 will come out on 360 no doubt....i even bet that microsoft have paid konami and kojima production a lot of money just like they did currently with HD-DVD exclusives.



All i'm gonna say is this "MONEY! MONEY! Oh yeah!"

# Poster above is an idiotGuest 2007-08-22 04:50
You fail to mention the biggest failing console in the world which is called the Sony PS2 and is still in production and its DVD OF DEATH which had about 5 million returns so why even lie about the 360 ring of death amount which is around 50,000 a fault which is repaired for free.



As far as Bioshock goes its guaranteed for at least a year 360 only and anyway I didnt thing Gaystation 3 owners liked fps games?, why the change of mind now?..

# .neok182 2007-08-22 04:50
first of all for anyone who thinks it was confirmed. it never was. 2k actually said it would NEVER come out for the PS3 a few weeks ago.



However going to the point at hand. it dosn't mean anything. the game is built on the UE3 engine which is made for 360/PS3/PC/MAC so therefor under the consoles it will have PS3 and 360 there. probably just got left in the code cause there was no reason to remove it or it would mess up the engine.



IF it ever did come out for PS3 your looking at at least 6 months or longer. but it's highly unlikely

# MGS4 old and tired now, PS3 framerate problems and BioshockGuest 2007-08-22 04:57
The time this and MGS4 comes to the PS3 it will almost be time for the next gen of consoles to be released and these will look outdated.....



LOL I played RFOM it looked like a black and white game with a little bit of yellow in it, a bit like a PC game from around 3 years ago, as far as Bioshock goes I wonder if the PS3 framerate problem it has with these type of games will occur yet again?.

# mgs4Guest 2007-08-22 05:25
it's pretty funny how everytime the xbox has bad news, there's always a post by an xbox fan saying "at least mgs4 is coming to xbox." i'd like to see ONE article that justifies your statement and it better not be from an xbox magazine or some *****. if bioshock were coming to the ps3, they should have worked on it a while ago and they would have announced it otherwise its just another crappy port. but in all honesty, mgs4 has been announced an exclusive over and over again so xbox fans, you lucked out.

# ue3Guest 2007-08-22 07:32
In fact the ue3 engine was made for the pc, ps3 and mac in mind..not x360, that was just an after thought.



And how long did it take kojima productions to make the ps3 version of MGS4? Years. It will take just as much time to produce it on the x360, they are completely different machine's inside and out after all.

you will never get 50% sales of a game. even motorstorm had a hard time breaking 500K units.

at best might be 25%. still not too shabby at that rate

# oh yea...Guest 2007-08-22 08:45
cuz its so underpowered it cant show colors...



get a clue. it's called stylizing. I could pick on Gears of War for the blown out contrast ratios to cover up shoddy texture edges, but i dont, cuz its fun, just like R:FoM.

# WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEGuest 2007-08-22 09:19
Hell i play Crack down on my bro's xbox and the frame rate slows down when i blow up 4 cars on screeen , and in oblivian i copyed an object 6000 times and the ps3 barely started to show signs of slow framrate



you really shouldnt be talking.....HAA ha

i really hope gta uses the extra power on ps3 to have more cars and peds and are visible and tire marks and explosions and bullet holes....they could save that FOOTPRINT on the hard drive cause every ps3 is garanteed to have a hard drive

"Windows has performed an illegal operation"



"Error in memory (X097VDIAMAGAYC OMPUTER9X)"



"Allow Bioshock.exe to run?"



"You must lower your windows firewall to play online"







So much more can go wrong on PC. When i buy a console game I'm happy to know that it will just work.

# Cry Me A River 360 FANSGuest 2007-08-22 11:56
Most 360 fans cant appreciate MGS as a whole and end up trying to compare it to Halo. why bother since they have a taste in games that are American made. the ps2 had mixture of both, Why is Microsoft is selling under 30000 consoles per month in Japan? even with blue dragon and DOA Beach Porn (is should be named this) didint help much. Even Lostodesy seem to have lost SOMETHING in it that diddint fit well with me, it almost looked like a FFX dramma fest with more weeping about lost love than i care to count (a thousand years worth?), thank god squareenix changed with FFXII and made a more "mature" game. The PS3 may have less exclusives but they are sure a hell MORE unique and LESS predictable than Microsoft's are.



By the way. do the 360 fans EVEN KNOW MGS 1, 2 OR 3 TO TIE IN THE STORY!? I THINK NOT!

# FANBOYS THESE DAYS....Guest 2007-08-22 14:18
PS3 doessnt have any frame probelms. its the developers who are having probelms with the cell processor. The Ps3's processors are way better than the 360's. its a proven fact.

# hey k;lkl;kDatnizzle 2007-08-22 14:30
by the way Sony also fixed those "disk read errors". Even if it happened more than 3 years after you bought your console. I'm not sure 33% + 50,000, but whatever. The reason I'm posting is to say that PS3 owners don't like EVERY fps like you xboys seem to. Why do you think we're waiting for Killzone, I don't know if you noticed.....it first-person.

"the 360 ring of death amount which is around 50,000"



Sold 360s: 10'000.000

33% equals (10Mx33)/100 equals:



3'300.000 Red Ring of death Xbox 360s, and the number keeps raising.



YOU FAIL AT MATHS!!1

Have you met MCS and Aoxo? You would all like each other. At least those two have the guts to use a registered name instead of what you are doing.



@ everyone else:

Any three stooges fans? I think that we just found the third stooge (read: troll) and he looks like a big one. All of his posts on this thread are unadulterated fanboy rants and are obscene to anyone who exercises the powers of common sense and logic.

" Spaced O"



You are mentally challenged. You seem to think that 360 owners have never played a game that wasn't on 360. Grow up, and quit being a embarrassingly blindsided fanboy.
