Note I get the news from

http://www.gameguru.in/sony-playstation-3/2008/07/2k-marin-hiring-for-bioshock-2-uses-ue-3x-and-ps3-version-possible/

but I had to found the source by myself.

Might sell some consoles if true.

 Not if it's multiplatform.

This means nothing. When I applied where I work now they told me Linux experience is required. I have never touched a Linux box at work though it was a requirement.

Yeah it should come out for PS3, it would be finiacially foolish not to. There are a couple of things riding on this.

- PS3 has been beating 360 week in week out now for some time now
- PS3 is begininng to shift some serious amount of software
- Extra money for Take2, they need it. LOL

Of course 2K will be working on PS3 games at some point. It says nothing at all about Bioshock.

XGamer0611,

of course, but the sentence is

"Experience working with recent generation game console technology (Xbox, Xbox360, PlayStation2 or PlayStation3) and Playstation3 experience is required. "

"AND PLAYSTATION 3 EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED"

I dont expect the game to be released on PS2 or Xbox BUT WHY add the last part about the PS3 as if it was an important requirement ?

Maybe because Bioshock 2 really is coming out on PS3. Or mabe they have some unannounced ps3 games under the hat.

THIS A JOB FOR 2KMARIN

STUDIO THAT WAS CREATED BY 2K FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR

BIOSHOCK2

(see in my post how they precise Bioshock2
or look at this :

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/15924/BioShock-Sequel-Announced-Coming-Next-Year/

During today's conference call to discuss its financial results, Take Two announced that a sequel to BioShock is in development at its new 2K Marin Studio. The game is expected to arrive in the company's Fiscal 2009, so that means before October 31, 2009.

It would be nice if they bought this game to the PS3, but I really don't think they will considering the original BioShock sold exceptionally well on the Xbox 360. And it has a built enough fanbase to make a sequel "BioShock 2" for the Xbox 360 again.
