I'm just picturing the opening cinematic, but with HOMEies all walking around Rapture. That would be so epic.

"Welcome...to Rapture."
*speech balloon* Hay *speech balloon*
*speech balloon* 'sup *speech balloon*

Rapture section of HOME would be pretty fucking awesome, especially if they had like Sander Cohen's crazy shit all going around in the background.

Probably not going to buy this again, particularly with the time window they are looking at, but it will be nice to see the additional content and to see that it reaches more consumers.

I don't think that's a good move, if it is in fact a Sony strategy. (I don't think it genuinely is, I think that's spin.)

I recently interviewed Kevin Unangst, who directs Games for Windows, and he was saying Microsoft has learned with games like Gears of War that simply releasing a port a lot later and adding extra content really isn't enough of an incentive to gamers to drive the kind of sales you'd want on a high-profile game like that.

On that note, I suspect Mass Effect PC did a lot better than Gears PC, because of the buzz surrounding Demiurge's excellent port job, and Mass Effect PC had less extra content than Gears PC.

No port on Gears 2?

Good stuff, now for the Exclusive content hmmmm aside from Trophies which is nothing that special they could have another lvl or something in there. Maybe better endings like people have said.

That's still just a rumor, guys. Don't get your hopes up.

Its a bland enough of a rumor to believe. If they called multiplayer I probably wouldn't believe it, but a new video, new level, six axis added, DL content on disc, and slitghlyimproved graphics, Thats very plausible IMO, and its not ever a huge add.

It's better than not having it coming out at all or having it coming out just as a port. I really appreciate it if Sony actually willing to do this. Why do you have issue with it when Sony doesn't even have problem with it? Protecting your stock? I doubt it.
Click to expand...
I don't have an issue with it. But if it's a strategy--that is, something that is being pursued--I don't think it's a good one. It doesn't personally make any difference to me one way or the other; I own a PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, so whatever.

The extra content and trophies makes this a day 1.

Hope it's not $60 though, unless we're getting a Big Daddy figure or something.

If it is $60 that had better be some really compelling extra content

This brings up an interesting discussion of what to do with timed exclusive ports:
1.) Release at $60, but add new content
2.) Release at $30-$40, straight port
3.) Release at $60, straight port

Lot's of trade-offs involved in these, I wonder how companies determine which will be the most profitable course of action.

How about $40-$50 with some new content.

Most PS3 owners already bought the PC version right? That is what they were saying last year.

:lol

good observation, most PS3 owners also have hi end PC rigs lol




I can't wait for this game as I held off on buying the 360 version since I knew a superior port was in the works anyway

I own a PS3 and a high end PC, but still haven't played this gem. I was planning on buying it for the 360 when I had one, but sold it before I could. Then I was going to get it for the PC but saw that the PS3 version was announced with added features, most likely including trophies, so I figured I could wait it out some more.

Here's to multiplayer!

What surprise announcement? Seems kinda like they had too do it.

I mean about the extra content. I guess this is what they were referring to when teasing for the money revelation. Albeit Home support isn't really "extra content".

Wow, something weird is going on here. Did digital extremes use the photoshop job from the SDF site? LMAO if true ... oh man, this could get hairy.
Click to expand...

Isn't that the game's original release boxart?

All that's added is the strip on the left and the home logo.

Probably just a coincidence.

:lol You guys provide so much entertainment.

Nutjobs aside, just seeing these screenshots makes me want to play through the game again. So choice.

Yeah right. There's no way there's any "exclusive feature" beyond Trophies that won't make it back into the 360 or PC versions via download.

I guess monday will be when I decide to rebuy it on the PC or PS3.

Release at maximum of $60 and new content that justifies buying it again and people will begin to double dip. At least I will.

What I meant was, if you take the original boxart (from the 360 version), add the strip which is on every PS3 game, add the Home logo and you have the new boxart.

Really the only question is the Home logo placement, but that's the place I would have put it too.

It's not like it's custom art or something.

First tragedy, then farce.
I've actually been playing through the game again recently and have come to a few conclusions.

1) Multiplayer really wouldnt work very well for this game. I really dont see the set up working very well. I guess I could be wrong, but the gameplay and environments just dont see positioned very well for multiplayer.

2) Additional areas will be easier to add if they wanted to. It would have to be a side quest of sorts that doesn't effect the main storyline
Something similar to the art section of the game, where you get cut off from the outside world and are at the mercy of whats his name to take photos of the people you kill to make the artwork.

I think if anything you are looking at home integration and maybe some extra plasmids.

More importantly you'll have your hands on one of the best games ever.

The thing is we don't even know if the HOME logo is legit or not, we don't even know if games will have that logo, since SDF came up with it way before Bioshock PS3 was announced. So DigitalExtremes using that cover art is very odd.

I just don't see multiplayer working well in Bioshock; the game more than stands on its own without it anyway. I'll probably double-dip it if an extra level is released. A Home space would be cool, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

I'm sick of this exclusive content bullshit. I pay full price on launch day and end up getting screwed over.

I'm not going to rebuy it, hell I can't because I don't have a PS3.

Tweak the graphics, smooth it out but don't add new levels and eneimes or if you do make it a free download for the other systems. That only pisses of the people who already bought it, not encourages people to buy it.

If it's Home stuff, cool. I do have a PS3 as well you know. I can rent it, get the trophies and be done with it. :lol Fuckin GAF.

However, I still can't see it being something so huge that it couldn't be added back into the other SKUs unless it's Home/Trophies.

Home would be cool, but it would be epic if it were multi player... one person spawns as a big daddy everyone else as a splicer... and you can customise you splicer with masks and clothes, that would be cool.
