BioShock PS3 confirmed


Recommended Posts

The rumours are true: critically acclaimed Take-Two shooter BioShock is finally, definitely coming to PlayStation 3.

Details are thin on the ground at the moment (i.e. there are none), but the next issue of UK PlayStation mag PSM3 - which is on UK newsstands June 5 - promises a lengthy preview of the PS3 version along with a depth charge of screenshots.

The highly lauded shooter was originally an Xbox 360 exclusive, but rumours of a PS3 version have been surfacing even before its release.

We called Take-Two's UK office who would only give us a flat "no comment". That being the case, expect an official announcement somewhere down the line.

There's another European mag that's touting the game in its upcoming issue too. We're beginning to see a pattern emerging here...

We've no idea what, if anything, the PS3 version will get in the way of extra content. The only extra stuff 360 and PC versions got post-release were new plasmids. But frankly we had such a bloody good time exploring Rapture on PC and 360 that we're well up for another dive on PS3.

I say what is the point. The game has been and gone last August and they had anytime before Christmas to release it. Personally i think it is a waste of time when they could just bring BioShock 2 to the PS3 or something.

No doubt it will run at lower Resolution and have no AA enabled like many games compared to 360 (This isn't a bash at PS3, it might look like it but it is the truth)

Bioshock isn't in the same league as the MGS saga ;)

I hope this is a joke. I mean both games can't be compared but i said it once and ill say it again, the best MGS was the first one. Where this great Saga u talk of? MGS2 and MGS3 were beyond poor. I am not saying MGS4 will be though and i hope it's not.

The point is, not everybody bought a 360. The PS3 will get Bioshock and Bioshock 2.

As for the whole porting thing, maybe, maybe not - they may actually invest some time and do a proper job and implement those things in. The PS3 is more than capable.

Did you not read my post above? I was talking about ease of porting.

If you two want to challenge me on importance anyway, I'll admit I do believe the MGS saga (spanning 6 main games, and what 3/4 portable now?) is much bigger than the one title that Bioshock is - That's not comparing how good the games are, it's comparing their fanbase and size.

And I wouldn't expect you to think any differently.

He meant from a porting point of view.

Its your opinion on MGS2 and 3. Personally I found them all to be excellent.

I meant in terms of being easily ported.

Ah I see

As for Bioshock, I wouldn't count on a fantastic port tbh, especially when 2K are working on a sequel and they only advertised for PS3 developers after the game was released. Anyone who works with software dev knows that it's a royal pain trying to work out how something was built that you never worked on yourself.

But good to see it reach another audience (Y)

Oh i think maybe it will just by looking at every game released thus far on both PS3 and X360. I never said the PS3 wasn't more than capable, just it will run inferior probably to the X360, just like the PC version outruns the X360 version with the right hardware.

I have no doubts It'll look amazing, but as many developers has said, porting a 360 Game to Playstation 3 is a lot more difficult than the other way around. So I'm almost sure we are gonna see some downscaling, texture, resolution or other.

I agree. While the main Developers will be working/or probably already working on BioShock 2 they will pass on the development code to someone else in 2K games to port it, hence why i think the PS3 version will be inferior.

come to think of it, bioshock is UE3 based right? UT3 on PS3 looks and plays fantastically, all the hard work of bringing the game over to the PS3 codebase is essentially there.

That's a fair point, can anyone confirm it does run on the Unreal 3 engine?

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
