The Tengu Restaurant was the site of lively conversation tonight, and like any lively conversation, there are some bits that are worth repeating

PSU learned while talking to developers at the dinner that Bioshock, the game that won the 2007 Game Critics Award for Best Action game, will be coming to the PS3 sometime in the near future.

BioShock is a title from 2K that fuses a scary atmosphere illustrated with horrific scenes, a deep storyline with an open-ended freedom to interact with anything and anyone, and a gameplay facet which incorporates actual thinking instead of raw gun power and a Hell Mary. Originally announced for all next generation consoles, BioShock appeared to be shaping up into an amazing multiplatform adventure. Soon after on September 26th, 2006, Microsoft announced that BioShock would be “released exclusively to the X-Box 360 and PC platforms this spring” at their X06 event. Soon after, Take Two Interactive released a press statement detailing BioShock's exclusivity: “2K is excited to release BioShock exclusively on Xbox 360 and under the Games for Windows brand on the PC.”

There was positive discussion almost to the point of confirmation that this title would hit for the PlayStation 3 next spring. While there have been various sources since X06 that claimed a PS3 version was in development, it would seem not a question of whether it's true at this point, but when it will happen. Despite our confidence in the integrity of our information however, we must emphasize that this is still a rumor, and Take Two has not officially confirmed this with us yet.

Another one from PSU.com - This could be quite a big seller and no suprise that another exclusive is going multi-platform, although it's a refreshing change that it could be coming the PS3's way rather than the other way around.
 
It would hardly be a shock if it came out on the PS3 6 months later. Makes very little difference to 360 owners, but is great news for PS3 owners.

Of course it will be a port, it is hardly going to be a new game. The big question is will it be a decent port or not. However, since the alternative is no Bioshock on the PS3, I would assume most people would rather take their chances.

What do you mean 'it's a refreshing change that it could be coming the PS3's way rather than the other way around.'?

I thought all the major 'exclusive' titles were on another format (Xbox360) and going to the PS3. I can't think of any major PS3 exclusive titles going to the Xbox360 at all.

Sony lost loads of their old exclusives to multiplatform. It's all people used to bang on about on these forums a few months back!

Bioshock has never been "exclusive" afaik. It was just never announced for PS3. In fact Irrational have as good as confirmed that it will go to PS3 at some stage. I have read numerous interviews where they have been asked about a PS3 version and the replies have always been something along the lines of "well we are just concentrating on getting these versions out the door first".

SPOnG: What happened to the PS3 version?

Ken Levine: If I talk about anything outside of the Xbox 360 version, my corporate overlords will spank me. We love the 360, we love working on it and we’re not talking about any other versions right now.


SPOnG: Was it the case that Microsoft splashed the cash then?

Ken Levine: My friend, I can say nothing more – except that we’ve had great support from Microsoft.

So it could end up on PS3?

It has a few times, such as;

2K Announces BioShock as an Exclusive Xbox 360 and Games for Windows title

New York, NY – September 28, 2006 – 2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced that BioShock, its highly anticipated and award-winning innovative first person shooter, will be released exclusively on Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows, the new brand optimized for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Slated for 2007 and developed by Irrational Games, a 2K development studio, BioShock will forever change the expectations for the first-person shooter.

“2K is excited to release BioShock exclusively on Xbox 360 and under the Games for Windows brand on the PC,” said Christoph Hartmann, President, 2K. “BioShock is the next step in the evolution of first-person shooters and a perfect title to push the limits of Xbox 360.”

”We expect BioShock will set a new mark in next generation gaming when it launches next year,” said George Peckham, general manager, global third party publishing for the Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft. “We’re thrilled that gamers will be able to experience BioShock only as an Xbox 360 and Games for Windows title.”

The Games for Windows branding ensures that consumers have a consistent, reliable gaming experience on Windows XP and Windows Vista with easier game installation, improved reliability, and support for key Windows Vista features. These titles will also support wide-screen gaming, can be launched from within Windows Media Center, will be compatible with 64 bit consumer versions of Windows and support the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

Taking full advantage of both Microsoft platforms, BioShock takes place among the ruins of an underwater utopia. After your plane crashes into icy, uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an ideal society for a hand-picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, Rapture collapsed under the weight of its own idealism. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors, mutated little girls scavenge the dead, and genetically modified citizens ambush you at every turn.

BioShock is in development for Xbox 360 and Windows and will be released in 2007. For more information please visit www.2kgames.com.

I was aware of the stuff from 2K Elizabeth. Didn't know about the "exclusive" press release stuff though. It seems strange, 2K games seem to be saying one thing whilst Irrational are hinting at another.
Well we shall see.
