Confirmed - Bioshock on PS3!

[Zenien]

As the owner of the code, Microsoft would not work out a deal with a publisher if they were going to port it to the PS3. They would never sign to a contract like that.

If Microsoft only owned the code there'd be nothing stopping them from simply porting the game from scratch without using the existing codebase.

I understand what you're saying, it seems absurd that Bioware would say they'd port it if enough interest was generated (any source on that, did we get one?). As an IP holder they could still create a Mass Effect game, seperate from the core trilogy but it hardly seems worth the effort. (granted for a while now Bioware has been elusive on re-confirming an actually trilogy)

Still if they said what they we're hearing they did there's a chance we don't know the full scope of the details behind the agreement with MS. I mean everyone was always like "There's no chance of any Bioware game coming to the PS3 because of the agreement they have with Microsoft, yet Bioware has said they are working on a project for the PS3. I'm not saying it's Mass Effect, it's most likely the "Totally not going to be KoToR, really!" MMO, or a version of Dragon Age.

On the topic of Bioshock, it's obvious something is up, the biggest evidence of that is the interview with SPONG (I have a feelling were the interview fake something would have happened by now), which adds fuel to the Bioshock fire, but also the Splinter Cell fire given the comments that Peter Moore made.

Find this sort of speculation annoying? My advice would be to deal with it, this is nothing compared to the constant, annoying, desperate, and repetitive MGS4 on the 360 meme that has been going on for like ever since MGS4 was first shown.

I don't think Dragon Age is going to be ported, it'll probably be Jade 2.

 

[Zenien]

God I hope not.

 

[GFreeman]

The PS3 would be damn lucky to have a game like Jade Empire 2

 

[Zenien]

Only to make people appreciate the good games that much more.

 

[GFreeman]

Yeah, they'd say "look, with the arrival of Jade Empire 2, we finally have one". Ha!

You're right, this is even more ******ed than the 'MGS4 on the 360' speculation. I don't see why people aren't just willing to accept the fact that Mass Effect is never going to the PS3. It might go to the PC, for sure, but the PS3 will never happen. MS wouldn't allow it.

BioShock? That's a little more tricky. The developers have clearly stated that there's no PS3 version in development as they are "fully focused" on the 360 version of the game. Which would mean that BioShock PS3 would be more of an afterthought than a block-buster game for the PS3. I can't see it selling anywhere near the amount of copies that the 360 or PC versions will by the time it was released on the PS3.

what the **** is a meme?
*checks pants*

 

[Zenien]

A meme (IPA: /mi:m/) is defined within memetic theory as a unit of cultural information, cultural evolution or diffusion that propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution. Multiple memes may propagate as cooperative groups called memeplexes (meme complexes).

I'm so glad now

Snake calls his first generation nanomachines that, doesn't he? Hopefully, they don't kill him at the end. Is it the nanomachines that Naomi puts in him or his Big Boss, Les Enfantes Terribles "genes?"

I wonder if Naomi can control when they kill you. It would make sense with Liquid. Plus, I never understood why Solidus was experiencing rapid cell degeneration. He should look like the others.

Ah, the memories.

And I agree with Xtro, Mass Effect going to the PS3 is absurd. If you don't gotta Xbox, it hurts...until Final Fantasy XIII comes in. I think I will like both equally.

How the HELL can someone hate the GREATNESS that is Jade Empire????

I know, it's a crime.

It was ok for Bioware. They've done better work. It was too easy (there were some points in KOTOR that were rather difficult, like defeating Malak as a light side Jedi with no dark side powers to destroy those tanks) and the story wasn't quite as interesting.

 

[Zenien]

It's TERRIBLE. Horrible cambat system, horrible story, horrible dialogue system, horrible ending, horrible loading times. Horribly horrible horrible.

Les Enfant Terrible isn't related to the Nano Machines. The Nano machines inside Snakes body are the ones Naomi put in him slightly before MGS1 started.

Naomi has no control over them, anymore. She was the one who programed them before injecting them into Snake right before the custcene in MGS1. She set foxdie witha random time value to activate. It was the best punbishment she could think of, to have him live the rest of his life in fear.

I see. Wow that b**ch. I liked Mei Ling though.

You'd probably prefer Killzone over it, wouldn't you?

Jade Empire is better than you = Fact.

The Metal Gear Solid 4 on the Xbox 360 rumors are annoying simply because they don't stop and have been proven false over and over again. Sony, Kojima Productions, and Konami have confirmed that it is a Playstation 3 exclusive yet they keep comming. Most Xbots simply want it to go multiplatform because it's one of the Playstation 3's most wanted games, not because they actually want to play it themselves. And simply most of these rumors are dicking us around instead of giving us actual speculation and facts.

The reason why this Mass Effect specualation is downright ******ed is because Mass Effect is a second party title, not a third party one like Metal Gear Solid 4. Hell will freeze over before a first or second party title goes multiplatform.

So in conclusion, this is nothing at all like the Metal Gear Solid 4 rumors. Because even though it's an exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4 still has some chance of going on the Xbox 360. Mass Effect has no chance on going on the Playstation 3.

 

[Zenien]

I wasn't talking about the chances of each happening. MGS4 is worse because it has been going on for 2+ years. There's no where near the consistency with Mass Effect.

Yet again can we get a source on that quote where they alledgedly said they'd port it to the PS3 if there's enough interest?

No you can't, because it doesn't exist.

 

[Zenien]

Someone said it did, I demand they be held accountable.

No the Mass Effect is worse because there is absolutely no chance of it happening unlike Metal Gear Solid 4 and talking about a Playstation 3 version is just downright stupid.

 

[Zenien]

You're free to your opinion but I'm right and you're wrong so there.

 

[XtromaniaK]

Actually, I agree with him. So therefore, it is 2 v. 1 and so he wins. Ah, the advantages of statistical superiority.
