Bioshock: Game of the Year candidate

[JTK]

The reviews are already coming out: Masterpiece all the way. Living up to hype. Special.

I've played the demo and unless there's some unreal letdown that happens, I think this is one of those benchmark titles that people will be talking about for years to come. It's special. It sets a new standard on all levels.

For now, this comes out next week to the PC and the 360. I really hope that the PS3 gets this thing before long because it's something that every gamer need to at least try, even if you don't like first person games or "shooters." It's that special, IMO.

Classifying this game as a first person shooter alone would be a mistake. If you try to run and gun in this thing, you will fail and die miserably and repeatedly.

You need to use your brains, your wits, and be immersed in an INCREDIBLE storyline in a truly rich world. Patience!

I'm getting this on the PC next week and I can't wait for it.

Folks: Find a way to play this gem some way, some how.

I'm not much into PC gaming, thankfully I have a PS3 and Xbox 360. The Bioshock demo is great, but I'm more a RPG fan so I'll be picking up Two Worlds next week

I'll pick up Bioshock later on.

^^ Those are all just for the 360. The PC version always takes longer for reviews to come out, but already those numbers are shaping up to be at least the same thing.

Wait until you read some of those reviews!

I can't wait!

Definitely a mega-title for sure. I'll probably grab it on PC also.

All the reviews and discussions say the PC version trumps the 360 version on all levels. A lot of it having to do with the 360 limiting texture depths and such (making it look more dull and flat) due to it's space limitations on DVD (too bad 360 doesn't have Blu-ray or this title would be so much more even).

2k publishing is a good thing. It may someday make it to PS3. I just hope they re-write it and do it right instead of a crap port like all their past titles.

PS3 needs to be the de facto development platform that all others are ported from. Going PS3 to everything else is easy and maintains quality best. Doesn't work the other way around very well as the cells end up not even being used thus degrading performance.

They'd have known advanced PC users would check and modify that file so they're clearly not going out of their way to hide that they're working on a PS3 version.

[invictus]

Unless its just 2ks generic code for consoles. They have made games for both consoles already....

No freakin' way!! If this is true it is awesome news. This was one 360 game that I was actually jealous of.

[sohjonn]

can someone explain the significants of the config.ini file. how does that say it's coming to ps3?

[MrBogey]

More than likely it'sa relic from the creation template. Really it's nothing to get excited over.

In a nutshell, it's simply a file that contains basic configuration settings for the application/program. It's significant because this is likely a core configuration file for all the platforms. Thus, having a section for the PS3 is evidence of the game being developed for the PS3. I'm not saying it will get developed for PS3, but just that it's a possible hint.
