BioShock confirmed for PS3 release Fall 08.

Cruxis Mana | May 22, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 
So the rumours have finally proved true, huh? The next issue of PSM3 (hitting newsstands June 5) features BioShock for the Playstation 3 as one of their cover stories.

Although Take- Two wouldn't comment at this time, PSM3 is a very well respected Playstation magazine and news is that a Swedish gaming magazine is also going to preview BioShock PS3 in their next issue.

Confirmed.
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.

    I was just reading this on their website! Thought I'd check to see if anyone had made a thread about it and I saw this lol, weird.

    If that's what is really going to be in the mag, it is going to have a lot of cool extras. Dual sided DVD with stuff on, MGS book, MGS poster and wallchart and apparently a free Disney Blu-ray
    Anyway, that's pretty cool I guess, I don't know too much about the game tbh. I'll probably read a few of the reviews written for 360.

      I would definitely call it the best shooter outside of the ones not already on PS3 (The Orange Box is better).

    For some reason I can't bring myself to believe it.Which is weird because I usually believe things way to easily.

      I'd call something true when 3 of the biggest gaming magazines/sites are reporting on it :

      - 1UP ( runs EMG magazine which is reporting on Bioshock PS3 in their next issue )
      - IGN
      - CVG.com ( runs PSM3 )

      Edit: 1UP have just posted this image :
      http://media.1up.com/media?id=3548488&type=lg
      It's a preview of their article on the PS3 version of Bioshock containing new images of said PS3 version =]

      That enough proof for you ? (Y)

        1up are idiots. I mean they predicted FF7 remake several times, even an exact date only to make themselves look like tools. Anything they say is utterly stupid and null. IGN I don't trust them either.

        CVG again, probably the only thing, but I still want it said from the horses mouth.

    GAH! Right after I bought a freakin 360 for this game. Bleh, at least I'll play NGII and GOW2. @__@

    Still good news for Sony (if really confirmed).

    Please Be True! Please Be True!

    I have a big fealing that this is a big joke just to mess with us. All the major websites teamed up and thought it will be funny

        I've never heard of a magazine making a whole article about confirmation of a port when it's still up in the air.

          Hype my friend hype. Besides I rather see this not get ported but see an actual new game. Its not going to get many sales since most have played it already. And who knows it could turn out like the orange box port. Which we know was filled with problems.

    There have been several articles over the months saying they had no plans to port it but business is business. Sony lied about a PS3 price cut not happening three days before they announced it

    @FinalBlade : Someone obviously doesn't understand the meaning of hype ^^

      Final Blade | May 23, 2008
      I know what it means actually but the point is rumors also hype stuff up as well. This is hyping PS fanboys talking more shit. Imo I rather see this not be ported.
