In spite of previous reports that BioShock looks "no different" on PS3 than Xbox 360, IGN is claiming otherwise. They note that the water effects look better, and the texture work has been cleaned up. "It's quite obvious that 2K is taking full advantage of the PS3's Blu-ray discs to pack in cleaner high resolution textures for every facet of the game."
The new Survivor difficulty mode is wildly praised by the site; they go into much detail about how "every bullet counts" in this PS3-exclusive mode. From the sounds of it, it will be a nightmarish journey for those that want to pick up the game's Platinum Trophy.
Of course, you can judge for yourself. Check out this new trailer and see if this version of BioShock tickles your fancy.
[Thanks, Daniel!]

I bought this game for my PC and let me tell you...it is FUN! The story is great, the action is interesting. I am not sure if I am going to buy the PS3 version (maybe when it hits $20 used) since I already beat it on PC, but it is an awesome awesome game.

Because of this "extra" effort to make my $ go further in terms of enhanced graphics, I may decide to get this. Will it support M+K?

Great game if you never played it. Not enough to warrant another purchase if you already own it.
LET THE DOUBLE POSTINGS COMMENCE!

Ditto. (well, and Mass Effect, and maybe one or two of their other RPGs, even if they are bad, at least they're something)

Not much of a Pc gamer right Kenneth?
Um I would buy it again since it looks slightly improved and I really liked the game but the trailer is boring compared to the "Beyond the Sea" trailer for Pc and Xbox 360.
I guess is a rent or a buy if there is a LE deal since I never got a Big Daddy figurine and the Soundtrack is plain awesome, I beat Bioshock on hard in the xb360 and here it is a quick tip; you don't need other plasmids than Telekinesis and Freeze, plasmids like Electro ray and Incinerate are optional.
The survival mode sounds like the selling point since it was too easy but not for the plasmids but the fact the research camera was really cheap to the point you could beat Big daddies with a few hits of the wrench. Before getting the research camera the game is actually kind of difficult in hard.
(I never used a Vita chamber in Hard not even when the achievements were released.Saved game FTW)

UT3 was KM compatable... and turned out to be a mountain of fail. The mouse control was poor and laggy. It felt like they artificially gimped it to allow controllers to compete.
It was fail because UT is a game designed specifically for PC controls. It was a bad port.

this game is one of the last reason to buy a xbox 360.all that missing is mass effect and there will be no real reason to own a 360 and this is coming from a person who own one.

They don't need Mass Effect, they need BioWare. I love their games. Also, they need to terminate Micrososfgt money chute to Bungie and Epic Games. Thenn we're all good here :)
