Bioshock devs hiring PS3 programmers |
Ó
Regardless whether we'll ever see Bioshock on the Sony PlayStation 3 or not, we can be certain about one thing - 2K Boston (former Irrational Games) is working on a PS3 title, and needs programmers to get its latest project finished. The company's job listing on its official website reveals it's hiring programmers for various positions.Bioshock earned a handful of "Game of the Year" honors for 2007 and was dubbed as a must-have gift by 2K Games, so it won't be surprising if people in charge decide to make more money out of the great first-person shooter. As of now, 2K Boston is hiring tools programmers and senior console programmers who can work on Sony's platform.
With lackluster endings and the constant request of fans to have more plasmids, it's easy to imagine 2K adding features and cutscenes to the original Bioshock. We're talking something like those Game of the Year editions of Bethesda Softworks' RPGs, which could be a great way to sell a game on a new platform after already selling millions of copies. Will Bioshock jump ship to the PS3? Time will tell.

for the PS3 i hope it's not a First Person game... i wanna see how flexible they are (and the fact that i still get motion sickness when playing FS games).
The PC Support for that Game is awful, I still canĀ“t play the game on my Computer. One of the Reasons why I love Consoles, Turn on and play. Not, Turn On, Install, cant play, wait 4 months, install patch, doesnt work, more wait..
No way I am supporting or Buying Bioshock if it ever comes out in PS3, I swear. ;)
Its sad you have to hire PS3 programmers to make PS3 games, while making games for anything else is doable by any experienced programmer.
After a console is launched, devs often want to hire programmers who are already up to speed on a particular console. So depending on the project, they don't always have time to waste waiting for a new programmer to catch up to others within the team.
Therefore the devs want programmers with experience on the PS3 already, because they can usually offer better results and faster developement time.
is motion sickness? lol, do you like get dizzy or somthing??
Idk why but it kinda funny hearing people say that, like the people in japan with the Mgs3 subsistence moveable camera.
yah... i guess you could say dizzy... but only after an two hours or so of playing... after which i just wanna lay down...
im waiting for RFoM2.
plus PS3 will have enough fair share of its FPS by then.
I dun care what anyone says! I would love to have bioshock for my PS3!!! I played a good portion of it on the 360 and would love to add it to my PS3s library of games. Hella kewl info.
If it does turn out that us PS3 owners are getting bioshock it just goes to prove my point that MS is playing dirty, prob with a fist full of cash that gets devs to imply that the games in question are ONLY for the 360. Only to have them ported over to the PS3 after a small period of time.
...and some serious graphics (1080P) to make me play this through again. Much as I love it on my 360, shelling out another 50 pounds for the same game on PS3 is unlikely.
Lost planet lol
Well I played the PC version and for me any FPS will just never be viable on a console (unless I connect a mouse and keyboard...).
Also - as nice as Bioshock looked it was hardly a thrilling game to play to the end - the first 3 to 4 hours were cool but then it became repetitive and boring - the hacking was probably the most ridiculous thing ever...may as well have just made me play hangman.
It's no different than games implied to be only for the PS3, only to find out it's coming out on the 360 too (Assasin's Creed comes to mind, along with numerous one-time PS exclusives).
A game is ONLY for a particular console until it is official announced for another, and so everyone involved is going to deny other versions until they're ready to announce otherwise. It's got nothing to do with cash or playing dirty, it's just the way it is (if you were a dev, you would be doing the same!).
If Bioshock does come out for the PS3, no-one will be shocked, but right now, no official annnouncement has been made, so denials will continue until that changes.
