Forums - Sony Discussion - Bioshock 2 on ps3 YOUR PREDICTIONS

well bioshock 2 be on ps3 @ the same time as ps3, or will it be a timed exclusive for 360



Around the Network

I have no idea which platform it will go on first or if it'll release on both PS3 and 360 at the same time.

However, I'm thinking sales would probably suck on the PS3 if the PS3 version is like the first Bioshock and takes a whole year to get there. Then again, this might not be the case as it seems to be known that it's coming for both rather than having one version released and then a later port.



I think Microsoft will probaly make sure that it will be timed exclusvie to 360.



 

Same time.



The fact the original came to PS3 means the sequel will, if it was going to be Microsoft exclusive then the port would have never happend?

As for simultaneous release? I'd imagine so, I don't see the value in Microsoft buying timed exclusivity on a sequel when Ps3 owners expect it to come to their console.

Also I think it's sales should be fine on Ps3 if it's a simultaneous release. Ubisoft's port of Tom Clancey's generic game #4 (Totally forgot the name) had iffy sales on PS3 but the sequel which release simultaneous is a million seller now.

I aint sure but a tv show about gaming mentioned it being for PC and Xbox 360, they mess up on these things often though lol and it was nothing like an official statement



Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

 

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

 

They may not not get it at all seeing as how 2k lost tons of money even making a port.

 Did you pull that 'fact' out your arse or something?

 

 Even if PS3 sales were lack-lustre, it easily would have paid for the costs of porting the thing.



it will be released same time as 360. If it was a timed exclusive they'd only be shooting themselves in the foot - releasing the first one a year late was a huge mistake and shows in sales. If the original was released at the same time it could easily have got 1 million sales instead they got squat all.



Given the poor sales of the first Bioshock on the PS3, I would expect them all three versions to come out on the same date.

I expect Microsoft will have "exclusive DLC", that will also come out for the PC version as well.
