Nothing that isn't first party isn't exclusive anymore these days.

3rd party companies are like cheap hookers...

They hang around everywhere,polishing balls on every end making ends meet.

Chill people, can you not accept that it is a possibility? It is a 2k game, not a MS game. Why wouldn't they make it for PS3? They may be waiting for a broader audience, or waiting for timed exclusivity agreement to expire.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but that config file deals with the fact that the game is using the Unreal Engine. It's the normal code in the URE SDK. So it's still unsure that it will come to the PS3.

Saros — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 08:57:31 MDT

In my opinion that'd be rather strange..
I mean, come on, why would Irrational Games say it's 360 exclusive and then release it for the PS3.. No game developer would do that.. Right?!
*strange whispers from the side* What? Ah..
Rockstar.. Right..

But well, 2 possible explainations for this:
Bioshock was initially planned to be released for Ps3, right?
These might either be some traces from early development which haven't been erased, and we all know Game Developers are lazy ;)

The other possible thing would be that Unreal Engine 3 is cross-platform and thus there's this PS3 mentioning embedded in the code.

Though I wouldn't mind the PS3 gamers getting that game, because it's awesome and should be playable by everyone.
Why not release it for the Wii too?! ;)

I'm playing Metroid Prime this month and waiting on Bioshock. I'll probably forget it until it turns up on PS3.
Take-Two will do it unless they got a moneyhat from MS. That explains it in the first place, seeing as this stuff simply doesn't go single-console anymore.

@Sailorcancer: Wow, I got a lol...thank you...Your extreme irreverance must mean I am most assuredly wrong.. Its definitely got RPG elements, but that certainly doesn't mean its not a shooter... I guess we could call it a FPSARPG...
Look all I am saying is that Sony needs to stop going after this market and instead try to develop for the JAPANESE... They have thus far been extremely slow to adopt the 360, even after the "stache" got involved. And if they want to succeed they need to start over there.... (and what they REALLY need to do is secure FF13 as an exclusive...I think its more important than mgs4 Imho).... so in summary I don't think it would even matter if Bioshock came to the PS3...
On a side note: I got it this afternoon and am taking a break from it....So far, Its one of the best games I have ever played.

@im_different: I did read that article...and its a shame... Like I SAID sony NEEDS to stop attacking the fps market... as far as the 360 having alternatives to shooter, of course they do... but the important question isnt what percentage of games are shooters and what percentage arent...its what percentage of GOOD and POPULAR games are...We all know that Gears is number one on the system and that will be usurped by Halo 3. Bioshock is already doing GREAT and will definately be in the running.

There's certainly no reason for it not to come out on PS3, as it isn't exactly a threatening notion. However, could the code also not be left-over from earlier days of development when the PS3 was, perhaps, planned as a launch platform?

Many are comparing Bioshock to the likes of MGS 4's exclusivity... Both are completely different. Bioshock was previewed in a Playstation magazine, there is no exclusivity stamp, Microsoft has failed to mention if the title was timed or not, the code mentioned, etc.

MGS 4 has merely had a bunch of false claims from fanboys.

And Bioshock is possible on the PS3 to where as MGS 4 would need to be downgraded to be playable on the 360.

All I have to say is... 360 & PS3 done in August... that leaves quite a bit of time to polish and tune a PS3 version for x-mas... Doesn't it? We're talking about a multiplatform engine here. Any dev house that puts as many dollars into creating and marketing a title like 2K did with BioShock would be stupid not to put it on a comparably-performing platform like PS3 that's got a 4 million strong installed base hungry for games.

If Bioshock for PS3 isn't out for x-mas on PS3, it'll be out by March of 08. Straight up, it's worth the money it will cost them to finish the port.

i still dont see the MGS4 analogy here; one's a persistent rumor that's been shot down by sony, konami, and microsoft themselves.
the other's a slightly persistent rumor that mayve been shot down, but if so, i havent heard it yet.
either way, like much this gen, everyone figures its exclusive only if told os, and even then only for a while; i on the other hand treat games like exclusives till we hear official porting news, its just easier.

Melting_snowman — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 17:54:54 MDT

Although this has already been pointed out several times: most likely it's just leftovers from the UE3.

Games based on Unreal engines have had this before on PC as well; they share almost all settings, so you'll find that they also have .ini-files that are almost identical (say... between Unreal Tournament and Deus Ex, for example) *and* for example they also list all possible rendering devices, so you'll have settings for OpenGL, Direct3D, software rendering and so forth, even though obviously only one of them applies for *your* system.

That doesn't mean that Bioshock couldn't come to PS3, but I don't think that the .ini-file proves anything other than that it runs on UE3 - which in turn runs on PS3, or is supposed to, anyway.

Get used to time-limited exclusivity in this gen. There aren't enough 360's or PS3's in the market like last-gen for a publisher to make as much money on a game.

@98abaile2: Because the 360 crowd were so above all that when DMC4 went multiplatform.

Haven't we moved past this? I've always said if the PS3 nabbed a 360 title I'd just be happy for the PS3 owners who now get to play the game. Why is that so difficult for 90% of the rest of you?
We can't really have winners gloating over the losers, because when a title is available on multiple platforms we all win. The more people that enjoy the game, the more money the developers make, and the more games they will be able to give us in the future.
If a game you really want isn't coming to your preferred console... well that sucks. But it's not the end of the world.

HockeyMac18 — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 17:05:46 MDT

@Vietone: I don't see your argument. A game developed by Epic (UT3) looks better then a game they made previously? I'm not sure what you mean by "surpass" anyways, as in reality the two games are vastly different from each other and pretty difficult to compare. Most games that use the Unreal engine don't look like Gears of War or UT3 because they're not developed by Epic and may not know how to fully utilize the engine correctly since they didn't develop it.

Cosidering UT3 is coming out for the 360, I again don't really see your argument.

As far as Bioshock coming out for the PS3: for some reason, I just don't see it happening. I really would like it to eventually because like everyone is saying, this game is truly amazing, and it would be unfortunate for anyone to miss out on the chance to play it just because it didn't come to the platform of their choice. My inclination tells me that this is really wishful thinking and that this file has left over remnants from being a licensed engine (similar to how people have mentioned that Unreal 2004 had mention of the XBOX in its .ini file, but it clearly never was released for the console).

So while this fact doesn't necessarily prove that Bioshock isn't coming to the PS3, my opinion is that this doesn't really mean it is either. I think PS3 owners are still in the same boat as they were before this, and will have to wait to see if anything develops. A timed-exclusive is probably the best case scenario, and I do hope that eventually it happens.

Could be a timed exclusive, much as many of us believe MGS4 will be. It'd be an interesting trade-off if they both were timed exclusives. Of course, it obviously could mean anything and nothing's definite. That's pathetically immature of that one site to call it "once and for all." Keep it in the pants, boys.

The reason that this rumour won't die like MGS4 on 360 is that both owners on both consoles want the game that badly. If you look passed the rumours and at the reasons for the rumours I guess it simply outlines how great these two games are. Personally, I wouldn't care if they were both multiplatform as long as I get to play it without having to buy another console...but then thats exactly what sony and MS want me to do...evil...evilll!

Funny how people still assume UE3 engine is worse on the PS3.

Fact is, no game on the 360 has yet to exceed gears of war in use of the UE3 engine.

PS3 has already exceeded the UE3 performance of gears of war with UT3.

UE3 is a multi platform engine and makes it easy to port games from one platform to another.

If Bioshock were to come to the PS3, it wouldn't take much work as the engine is already past the performance the 360 can run it at.

Unlikely. The game is based on the Unreal engine, so like past Unreal engine games, alot of code in that ini file is not even unnecessarily used by the 3rd party using the engine. Its probably even likely that some of it isn't even used at all, and are just remnants of past Unreal engine iterations.

Also, I'm fucking tired of the whole Sony vs Microsoft argument as if they directly are responsible for ALL the games on thier system. You know, 3rd party developers make a lot of games that Sony or Microsoft don't have anything to do with, except hosting the game on their system.
So saying "Sony needs to focus on a different kind of market.. needs to attack the action/adventure/RPG market if they wanna succeed" is pointless unless Sony has 100% say in what games are allowed to be developed for the system.

I'm sitting here with a copy of Bioshock sitting right in front of me, and to the right of the "XBOX 360" logo, in a slightly angled box it says "ONLY ON XBOX 360 AND WINDOWS". It is the limited edition though, so maybe the regular edition does not have that stamp on it.

It is interesting to note though, both Gears of War and Lost Planet shipped with "ONLY ON XBOX 360" stamped on them in the same place and they both have Windows version (or soon will).

sasquatchua — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:15:29 MDT

Yeah, this does not mean anything. If at any point the project files included any console specific code and they were even playing with the PS3, you need to split the project. Sometimes this is done with Visual Studio (or whatever) solution build configuration & platform settings, and other studios put in a command line option and put big #ifdefs around that code. In the latter case you forever after need to compile with the correct option to keep code specific to the other consoles from compiling in. It just means that at some point in Bioshock's history, someone explored PS3 development.

Come on now, is it really that important if BioShock eventually hits the PS3? It's not like it will be the first title to actually have better graphics thanks to its later release on the PS3. Look at Vegas for example, or GRAW2. They look equally as good.

Besides, this title was never handled as system seller. It's awesome, yes, but not one of the big ones. Maybe if it wasn't on the PC, that would make a big difference.

It probably was going to come to the PS3, but I think MS cut them a check to keep it on MS platforms. Though, given it is powered by Unreal Engine, and with the known issues with UE and the PS3, maybe the PS3 version was scrapped so they could focus on the 360/PC version and get those out ASAP.

@drifter13: That's more the case with PS3 games than 360 games currently. Depending on the genre, even the risk-averse can afford to go without a PS3 port. This is especially true due to the difficulty involved in porting a game over to PS3; porting from 360 to PC or vice-versa is a much easier process, which is why even some of the lower-profile games like Overlord and Monster Madness aren't released on PS3.

@Cutriss:
I was thinking the same thing, people always get the two confused for some reason. As for it going to the PS3, they probably realized how much work it could be and said screw it.

while, bioshock on ps3 would be cool, I won't hold my breath... and besides I already have it for 360, so who cares.

C'mon people, just stop. Ubisoft did an article that detailed the fact they made the PS3 version of GRAW 2 with a completely different team becasue off the difference between the two platforms.

This text is just left over from the original UE3 code, as someone mentioned before.

Will Bioshock eventually come to PS3? I have no idea, but this text entry someone found in the code proves absolutely nothing. They could put "Wii" in the same line, or "C64". It means nothing.

The games was going to be on the ps3 at one point before MS made it exclusive, so this could easily be an articfact of sorts from that era.

It doens't get much more exclusive that the companies calling it exclusive as it ships with 'exclusive' stamped on the box.

There is a possibility of Bioshock coming to PS3 is awesome. Because I love the game (and just got it for PC which cost me a crap load of money to get the stinkin Moby CD that I didnt even want). So I cant help to say I am excited. Although has anyone thought that they just placed it there because THQ planned to release it on all platforms before making it just PC and 360? Again just a speculation and I am really hoping I am wrong because I want BIOSHOCK PS3 STYLE!!

@david78: It's 2K, not Take Two. You just made a mistake right up there in the same level as Jack Thompson.

UE3 was made for both 360 and PS3. Is it that surprising that they wouldn't go back through every byte of text in the engine and remove all references to PS3?

I mean, it's a 3rd party title and it's entirely possible that Bioshock will end up on PS3 at some point but, come on now. Use that ol' noggin of yours.

From a post on PS official forum (too lazy to word it in my own words)

[boardsus.playstation.com]

Unreal Tournament 2004 has Xbox commands and configurations in its .ini file.

Unreal Tournament 2004 has never been released for the Xbox.

The info that you find in .ini files is absolutely no indication that a game is coming to that platform.

The engine was developed for multiple platforms so of course it will contain information about those platforms in its configuration files. The game developer decides which platform they will create their game for. The engine developer simply wants to make it as flexible as possible.

At this time, 2K Games has not confirmed that Bioshock is in development for the PS3. Until they make such an announcement, don't get your hopes up.

It's probably just an office bet.

Hey let's put PS3 somewhere in the .ini file and see how long it takes the fanboys to find it?

Hell yeah, I'll give you 4 hours, you want the over or under?

Either that or it's why real widescreen doesn't work. Take your pick.

They've said repeatedly that they "have not announced Bioshock for any other platform."

In other words, it's not that they aren't working on it, it's just that they haven't announced it yet. It's the same verbal game that was being played around Assassin's Creed. Everyone knew it was coming for the 360, but nobody announced it until well into the dev cycle.

I'm pretty sure MS paid a pretty sum for that little greeny-yellow "Only on Xbox 360 and Windows" stamp that is on all the copies of the game.

It won't be coming to the PS3 anytime soon.

Bioshock is running on Unreal 3 so don't get your hopes up. It's to do with the engine not the game.

This is getting annoying as the MGS4 for 360 argument.

OMG Bioshock at 30fps on the BS3!

Couldn't the 360/PC owners at least have this game to themselves more than a day before these rumors renewed themselves? I'm sorry that they don't.
