Bioshock developer looking for PS3 talent




The game that’s been hailed for its immersive story, awesome graphics and a Boss fight every 15 minutes "Bioshock", could be heading to the Playstation 3. Well that’s wishful thinking on the part of playstation 3 owners but details are still sketchy on just why Bioshock developer, 2K Boston is looking for staff with PS3 experience.

Maybe its not a Bioshock port (would you really want sloppy seconds?), but then again it could be that 2K Boston’s next game will be simultaneously released on both 360 and PS3.

Why don’t I think it’s a Playstation 3 exclusive game ?

Well there is the factor of games costing and taking more to develop on the Playstation 3. Then when you talk market, youre dealing with almost 20 million 360’s vs a few million Playstation 3’s. The final reasion is that it doesn’t pay to be exclusive anymore. More and more games are coming to both the 360 AND PS3 as opposed to being exclusive. Though I’ll grant you that the PS3 versions typically launch a few months later. Just look at an upcoming games release date, if its on both consoles, you typically evidence of PS3 palying catch up and its version of the game being released a few months later.

Regardless of weather you’re a console fanboy for either 360 or PS3, it’s a positive if 2K Boston’s next game delivers the immersive storyline and graphical goodness to more people.
