Pixelated textures being fixed for PS3 BioShock

Gamers will have to wait until the release of a patch at some point following the release of the game.

There's some good news for PS3 owners looking forward to BioShock on the PS3; a few graphical problems noticed by players of the demo are being fixed via a patch in the final game.

"I have good news from the dev team about a patch for BioShock PS3! They have been working on a patch to address the concerns some of you on the forum have talked about," explained a 2K community manager. "As work is in progress I do not have a definite date for when this patch will be released as it needs to be tested and clear certification with Sony before it is scheduled and released. I do know this will not be until after the game's launch, and I will update you with details on that date as I receive them."

You can expect the entire patch list when it's finalised, but the community post has included details on two graphical fixes:

- Fix for an issue where large blocky pixels would show up whenever viewing the Bouncer and Elite Bouncer variants of the Big Daddy.

- Fix for an issue where white/discoloured bars would show up at the right and bottom sides of the screen during the plane crash / water scene at the beginning of the game.

It's good to see 2K is working to resolve problems. BioShock for PS3 hits UK stores on Friday.

good to see 2k listning to fans of this game.

i was going to have another go on 360 version, but if asda sell this at 24.99 i might pick it up and give it another go.

hmm it 's good to see them fixing the problem but the question is :
why not fixing then releasing?it's just not cool to release a fixing patch while the game can be released fixed

EDIT: SO MUCH FIXING IN MY POST , someone fix it :D

^lol

well there basically saying it wont be in time for release, so you may find it a month or 2 later, as what happend in ferrari challenge

Atleast they are trying to fix their mistakes, but maybe they should try to add some AA to the game, because the amount of jaggies is insane compared to the 360 version. I also wonder if they have the mode that allows you to up the FPS, and if they do have it maybe they could fix the massive screen tearing that was all over the place in the 360 one.

The game in no way had amazing graphics so i don't see a reason why they could not have AA, unless it is a problem with the unreal engine.

you have to remeber this is a full on port, if it was ground up then you prolly wont see them things in it.

on the plus side it has all the dl content included plus exclusive extras, so i think they tried thier best to bring a faithfull conversion, i expect bioshock ps3 to lifetime at 800k

all in all, for people who havent played bioshock before this game is added to the already spectacular fall lineup from sony.

good ... today i saw it in the store but i didnt get it but i get silent hill instead of it cuz i already have the 360 version .. but maybe i will get it later when its reach 30$ cuz i heard its have a new difficulty level.

lol Skeeuk, you are such a ps3 spin doctor.

Convenient, in this day and age, that dev screwups can be fixed on consoles in this manner.

I imagine the 2nd printing of the game will not need to patch -- but I'm sure the first printing has already rolled off the presses, as it were. They can't delay it for the fix -- the problem was discovered after they had already rolled the game out for production.

Game discs for a retail game already have been made a good month (or more) before it hits store shelves.  They go through a pretty long process of being packaged, shipped, shipped again, stocked, etc.  By the time they released the demo, and users noticed the issue, they had already printed the discs for the first run.

its not just survivor mode, it contains them new areas and plasmids, plus all the dl content that was out on 360.

for someone whos already played it, theres no point in buying more or less the same game again, you would be better off with LBP or socom or mabey motorstorm.

This is my least favorite part of this generation. I wish people just made games correctly the first time. They used to. I don't see why it's so difficult now.
