Not only does the PS3 not get
Bioshock, yes that's right,
we won't get it so let's ... let's stop those rumors already. We're sure the 360 fans roll their eyes at that just as much as we roll our eyes at
MGS4 or
FFXIII defection rumors. Anyway, depending how much you want to rely on
an internet job listing, 2K Boston is working on their game and guess what? They don't list the PS3 as a platform for consideration -- just 360 and Windows.
Perhaps they already have all the help they need for the PS3 version of whatever it is, or they aren't planning to get involved with Sony yet. We don't know and since it is just a random job listing, we won't rule the possibility out yet, but we won't say anything to mislead you, either. Chances are, PS3 owners won't get any 2K Boston games anytime soon.

i think the only game genre PS3 is not showing its potential in is the sports games.
sports games makers have a to churn out a game every year and they are to lazy to code properly for ps3

The difference between Bioshock and MGS4 and Final Fantasy is the guys behind Bioshock simply say there is no PS3 plan for Bioshock... As opposed to the MGS4 team is not making a 360 version... Or a 360 version isn't currently planned or any other way they have come to say there isn't a 360 version without actually saying there isn't for sure...

You guys should check 2K Boston's job listings. They need a tools programmer who has experience working with UE3 and PS3 (among other things). If you're a Senior Console Programmer, it would really help your application if you know your way around a PS3...

So wait, they ARE hiring for PS3-related positions? I thought this article just specifically mentioned that they ARE NOT hiring for any PS3 work?
Also, didn't the 2K jobs listing thing request PS3-experienced people a month or so before Bioshock launched? It could be possible that they already have PS3 programmers etc. and are hiring extra and/or replacement 360/PC developers.

Apparently, according to PS3Fanboy, if 2k hires for x360/windows then that must mean that they will never develop a game for PS3 again. Instead of just looking at one employment opportunity, they should have checked 2K Boston's official job opening list.
Pretty poor investigation, ps3fanboy.

Said it before, I'll say it again. I found Bioshock average, good average but average. I've gone back to Half Life 2 and R&C.

Really? Cause I know Crysis has nice graphics, but aside from that it's pretty much your run of the mill FPS. At least Bioshock did something different in regards to story. "What's that you say? You fight aliens in the future in Crysis? Aliens! In the future! Wow, what a totally original idea that no one could possibly be sick of!"

And if Sony comes through and sells a ton of consoles, you'll be able to wipe your ass with this story....after you print it out, of course.

I personally didn't like Bioshock all that much.. It was interesting but it didn't grab me.. Oh well I'm not worried there's to many good games out right now to be worried if Bioshock is coming to the PS3 or not

Umm I know this is PS3 fanboy and all, but lets face it, calling bioshock an average or even bad game is ridiculous. I have a PS3 and a 360 and love them both equally, but just because some of YOU have a vendetta against a 360, dont take it out on a great game such as Bioshock, a work of art game that deserves to be GOTY.
Grow the hell up people

Ahhh yes, Bioshock is the end-all FPS.
Eyah, sure.
Maybe it was the best FPS ever made for a 'console' but in the PC world, Bioshock is and will forever be mediocre. Hell, I think Systemshock 2, what Bioshock is literally a remake of, was more "original" back when it first debuted in the 90's.
Bioshock is a decent FPS, maybe even a great 'console FPS,' but holds no candle to other FPS. I'd even take CoD4 over Bioshock.

To what you have said, I own a 360 and to me, the best game on it is Earth Defense Force 2017. I'm not being childish or anything like that, but the game was just plain fun to the point that after playing that, Bioshock came off as just another FPS. Which it really is, no matter how you look at it. (I also blasted through most of the game with the monkey wrench, BTW!!!) Game of the year or not, I don't really care. FFXII was really popular, but I found it to be less than stellar compared to FFX. Dragon Quest VIII? Boring. What I'm getting at is just because something is popular doesn't mean that everyone on the entire planet must lemming to it. On the contrary. We as gamers must realize that not everygame is created equal in every eye, thus making one man's treasure another man's mediocre experience. I'm not ripping on the 360, far from it. I'll take some flak on this site by saying it is a very good system, if only for Blue Dragon, Earth Defense Force, and Dead Rising. But, for the love of God, Allah, and Stephen King, please enjoy the games that you like and let those that differ from you enjoy theirs. Now, I'll finally shut up!

Yes! We got the new commenting system that you guys were talking about in your latest Fancast!I'm gonna see if my favorite avatar is an acceptable size on here...
I don't really care about 2K Games much anyways. I have too many other titles to buy/play, so this doesn't matter.

I'm being honest not biased, all their sports games are terrible in comparison to others. I'm sure there's a few non-sport titiles that people like but as an owner of a ps3 and 360, I still don't have any of their games.

Well I have yet to play NBA2k series on the 360 but I've played 2k7 on the PS3, and I have to say... that game is remarkable... I do have to say that there is a slight delay in the reaction of the players on the ps3 compared to the ps2 version, but after a one quarter in the game you get use to it. I haven't played the newest version, and I know that 2K sports always improves greatly after each iteration, so I can only imagine that game getting better. Madden on the other hand as everyone knows is all garbage... I mean you can't get use to that lag, there's no way around it, especially since that game is driven by timing and reading the defense... if anything 2ksports knows how to handle the ps3, and EA just likes to jerk us around.
