BioShock Being 'Optimized' For PS3 By Digital Extremes

[MrKLM]

According to an article on Joystiq, 2K Games the developer for Bioshock on the PC and 360 will be bringing on game development studio Digital Extremes to help optimize Bioshock for the Playstation 3.

2K Games has announced a partnership with Dark Sector developer, Digital Extremes, to aid in the completion of the PlayStation 3 version of superb submerged shooter, BioShock. Digital Extremes is the fourth studio to join the project -- 2K Marin, 2K Australia and 2K Boston have already dove in -- and aims to give PS3 players a "fully optimized experience," complete with new features and content. And trophies, probably.

James Schmalz, CEO and founder of Digital Extremes, noted that the decision to work on the critically acclaimed project didn't even require a brain. "When 2K approached us to assist with development on BioShock for the PLAYSTATION 3 system, it was a no-brainer," he said. "You really can't ask for a more exciting, technically impressive world to work in than Rapture, and the incredible knowledge and talent between the 2K studios and our team at Digital Extremes is unprecedented." Apparently, when it launches this October, BioShock will make the PS3 "sing with Big Daddy goodness and Little Sister 'thank you's'."

Umm thats nice, but based on what i read on yahoo games

http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/sony-has-lost-over-3-billion-on-the-ps3/1223467

Ps3 is phail.

Lol? Dude, your basing your facts of YAHOO? If anything fails, it's that statement.

Look at the sales. The PS3 is only 6m behind the 360. And the 360 has been out a year before the PS3. Now, when the 360 becomes obsolete (kind of like the old Brick Xbox. Which reminds me, the ps2 is still being played ALOT more than the Old black box), which it will in a few years. The ps3 will be the only console worth buying (Like it isn't already.). And just because a Company has lost money, so what? They knew the price was high, even though the PS3 backed a load of "power". They lowered the price, they lost money. Besides, with this reccision I think it's hard for any company to be sky rocketing with sales.



On topic, this should be great for anyone who wanted to play the serious. Oh yah, and one more thing.



I SPY A HOME SYMBOL!!!!

I got bored of bioshock, for me it wasn't the game it was cracked up to be, yeah its great but i found it repetitive, but i'm sure it will do well on the ps3, especially with the gfx, it will look good.
