The article also includes details of id's other QuakeCon announcement and the first trailer for Rage.

hail to the multigen.

Somehow I dont like this trend....

 

[Joseph Merrick]

what trend?

 

[FFChris]

Yet STILL no screenshots. :'(

what trend?

I'm guessing he means multi-platform.

 

[Darji]

what trend?

the trend of everything going multi. I still think thegames could be much better if they were developed for one console. So you can benefit from the advantages of the console.

 

[so1337]

Wasn't this game announced ages ago?

 

[crazyscreenwriter]

what trend?

Don't ask, then he'll have to explain it.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Great news for PS3 fans. Now it shouldn't be too long until Bioshock PS3 is announced for early 2008 with extra content

Wasn't this game announced ages ago?

Yes, but only for PC and 360 at the time.

yeah, because wasting a thousand dollars on stupid, redundant game playing devices is preferrable to having one machine play everything

There was zero chance this game was going to be PS3 exclusive. Absolutely zero. You should be happy you're getting the game.

on 1 Blu Ray? :lol

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Have we seen anything at all from RTCW2?

 

[gofreak]

Well, that answers my query in the other thread. Carmack seemed to be alluding to it in his keynote without excplicitly confirming it.

 

[ParticleReality]

It used to be 360 console exclusive. I still wont buy it, Raven Software proved their talent with Quake 4......I need to go dig a grave.

on 1 Blu Ray? :lol

No, the PS3 version is so badass it comes on a 120GB HDD.

Never going to happen.

Game development this gen costs insane amounts of money and developers/publishers need to spread their bets over multiple consoles.

Was never 360 exclusive. 360 is just lead platform.

and? i dont really care for wolfenstein. But for other games^^

what?

 

[so1337]

Yes, but only for PC and 360 at the time.

Isn't it about time they actually show it then? Ah, well...

 

[bud]

again, the avatar. it's frightening.

2008

 

[Orlics]

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to argue here.

 

[Forsete]

Good.

 

[Darji]

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to argue here.

i dont argue. I was just saying that i think that a multigames mostly cant be as good as if it were exclusive to ONE platform.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So are you complaining that it's coming for PS3 as well as the previously known 360/PC versions...or are you complaining that it's coming to 360/PC instead of exclusively for the PS3, shined the **** up for Cell?

The former is a silly complaint, because even a port is better than nothing at all, while the latter is a delusional fantasy, because the series' entire fanbase exists on PC/Xbox.

he's just recycling the same tired complaint that multiplatform games will have less sparks. and they just might. and i say get over it.

no again. I complain that there will be too much multiplatform games.

 

[crazyscreenwriter]

no again. I complain that there will be too much multiplatform games.

And that's bad?

You might want to look at his posts again, I think you have the wrong idea.

 

[Darji]

if you get a game which is good but could be much better? Yes I think so.

 

[Decado]

the trend of everything going multi. I still think thegames could be much better if they were developed for one console. So you can benefit from the advantages of the console.

Or, in this case for the PC...and potentially ported to other platforms later on.

Raven was a very good PC developer that has become a solid, if rather mediocre, console/multiplatform developer. This isn't unusual.

 

[Big-E]

This is good news for id's engine. If they got all these games working great on all platforms they are going to give epic some good competition.

 

[Lireu]

Meh ... thinking of Quake 4 ... Raven, Wolfenstein ... meh.

 

[Elios83]

Cool, rumors wanted this as a big 360 exclusive from Id.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

This is good news for id's engine. If they got all these games working great on all platforms they are going to give epic some good competition.

seems like it's using the same engine deal as quake wars though, the upgraded doom3 engine

 

[JDSN]

Thread derailed in the first post, thats a new one.

The minute Darji walks out a door he derails himself so that's not shocking

 

[Mau ®]

Cool. It seems ID is now embracing the PS3, I hope they bring that awesome Steam Superpack to PSN but that would be asking for too much.

Great news for PS3 fans. Now it shouldn't be too long until Bioshock PS3 is announced for early 2008 with extra content

I keep reading this. Is there any basis to these rumors? Hasnt it been proclaimed console exclusive to all 4 winds?

 

[Darji]

sorry but what was wrong with my first post? It was my opinion to this news nothing more.

 

[Rice-Eater]

I keep reading this. Is there any basis to these rumors? Hasnt it been proclaimed console exclusive to all 4 winds?

I was just adding a little bit of humor to the "everything is going multi" talk.

 

[Core407]

The world gasps in shock.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

I keep reading this. Is there any basis to these rumors?

no, it's like how 360 being lead platform for wolfenstein confirms 360 mgs4 port.

IIRC, Bioshock was announced as for all platforms (PS3, 360 and PC), and there were previews of the game in PS3 magazines but then it went 360/PC exclusive.

My guess is it will come to PS3 eventually. Exclusive content? Well, you never know, but nothing has been said about that.

Oh ok, I might be thinking of another game. By the way, is your screen name out of some famous literature?

if it really comes to the PS3 you can bet that there will be some extras. You cant just release the same game a half year later^^

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I demand Mouse/kb support for PS3!

Spoiler

Did it work again?

 

[Lireu]

*lol*

This is not EPIC !

Ubisoft says HOLLA!

 

[RavenFox]

I still think PC will do it justice but for those who don't have the specs on the PC the console is just as good.

 

[Darji]

even ubisoft games had some extras^^

 

[Odysseus]

yes you can.
