Forums - Sony Discussion - The Lies We Tell : BioShock’s Exclusivity

SpartanFX on 01 June 2008

this article is intresting,,one of the producers says from the begining the title was muliplat ,,,MS approached them and paid them for timed exclisivity to brag about it against PS3 without paying for the complete exclusivity.

Now if sony gets their head out of their A** ,they will not let the same happen to bioshock 2.(specially after Kaz Hirai said that they are willing to pay)

 

it seems 2k is switching to  ps3 as the lead platform, as they believe it will benefit both versions.

That's not really surprising at all. There were references to the PS3 in several of the .cfg files in the PC version. When Bioshock was originally revealed in an issue of Game Informer, it was listed as being available for "next gen consoles" and only later did it become a 360 exclusive.

@deviation

I know but SCEA should open their eyes more and not let this happen,,,,

I m willing to bet that it's the same deal with Haze,,it will be hitting 360 this holiday(99% positive)

lol not such a fair trade.

 MS just paid for the advertising,,,but they did it in 06 which was a really bad time for sony,,,they had millions of other problems,,,hope they won't let it happen (09-10 games will show if the trend will con tinue or if sony is paying close attention)

If BioShock is on the PS3, it better not have framerate problems or anything.......

@saviorX

they added new content (new weapons/new big daddies)and enhanced the length of the game and the game supposedly looks better than the 360/PC version(according to the preview),,,let's hope it's not a bad port from the technical point of view.

I'll play this again *if* (and only if) they implement mouse/keyboard control.
