2K Boston, or Irrational Games as it used to be called, wants people who know how to make things for PS3. And PS2, and GameCube, and Xbox, and Wii.
Yes you could say it is after programmers with experience and know-how on just about every platform in the job section on its website.
However, PS3 familiarity does receive a special mention - prompting the Internet to predict a BioShock port in the none too distant future.
Prophesies it will make a PS3 game somewhere down the pipeline are none too hard to believe. Even if it is happening right under our nose.
Also surprising is the necessity of permission to work in the US. Where the developer is based.

"prompting the Internet to predict a BioShock port in the none too distant future"
That is a tough one to call. Its very likely, but equally they could just be building up a PS3 engine. Actually, maybe "equally" likely is stetching things a bit :) |

Feigns suprise.....
As an owner of both consoles I'm happy for this to happen. If only they could change the lame ending and re-work the last half of the game. Heck Konami do directors cuts of games. Why not release a directors cut of BioShock with a new last half and non generic boss battle ending (on both consoles) |

If the rumours of a BioShock sequel/prequel are true, I imagine that'll be multiformat and, like Saint's Row, we'll see the follow-up hit the PS3, rather than a port of the original.
I could be wrong though! It has happened before, once, in a bar in Singapore. |

I'd like Bioshock to get a PS3 port - I don't own a next-gen console yet, and I am feeling quite tempted by the PS3, which I think is looking a lot stronger this year than the 360. Bioshock is one of the major reasons I want a 360.
Given the 'Only on Xbox 360 and Windows' stamp it has (or whatever it says), it couldn't just be a straight port though, eh? I expect some parts would be reworked and it would have a subtitle, like Bioshock: Redemption, or something lame like that. |

Would be immensely pleased if a port were indeed in the works. Like Triggerhappytel, I've been leaning PS3-wards on the strength of the 2008 release schedule. A 'special edition' content-heavy Bioshock might well be the final straw.

Doesn't Bioshock run on the Unreal 3 Engine? Should make it a bit easier to port it to the PS3. Also from what I hear the PS3 version of UT3 runs really well.
Wouldn't be surprised at all by a Bioshock port, after all it's 'easy' money. |

We'll be playing in next-next-next-gen, and PS3'ers groupies will be still flooding the net with "OMG! da powa of da c3ll!"...
As opposed to 360 fanboys posting it for them? |

"Also from what I hear the PS3 version of UT3 runs really well"
Yes, it does. And it's really shamefull that it seems to be floping. All my collegues that bought a PS3, seems to play but PES, and CoD, and say "Unreal what? what's that?... I just want to play footy, and shoot a few guys on ultra-easy mode". When it's MS (or whatever..., I don't do brands) next-next-gen ? the sooner the better mate! I don't run a museum. 10 years life cycle ? No, thank you... very much.

@miiiguel, first you say PS3 always late and then you talk about UT3 which won't come out on 360 until months and months after the PS3. Well done.

I don't think it's Bioshock... it's another game.
Though I'd rather they didn't do a bioshock 2 at all as it will lack the uniqueness that System Shock 2 had. Fixed. ;)

Looks at the comments declaring PS3's strength in 2008... looks at the release list and struggles to see why. Well fair enough but for me 360s scheduel is still looking alot better(still yet to join next gen myself as you can guess I totally disagree, not only as a new buyer am I spoit for choice for whats in the library already but upcoming titles for 2008 are looking much more promising and interesting on 360 to me)
I dont know really, Id normally say its good news for gamers but after all the downplaying the insecure Sonybots did, do they deserve to play it? they are still going to see it as a 360/MS game when they play it(its amazing how petty gamers can be, they will deny themselves enjoyment for the sake of fanboyism). Oh and Mass Effect is published by MS isnt it? I doubt they will allow that to go multiplatform, plus its about time MS held onto some exclusives now(although it is funny watching Sonybots change their tune when certain games get ported), Ive got to say I cant see Sony finnishing anywhere but 3rd place because thats exactly where they should be this gen(looking at it objectively most other companies would have been down and out by now... talk about brand loyalty).

Sorry mate, it's just that your initial post felt rather fanboyish. Especially 'Sonybot'- makes me feel like something out of Dr Who. Hence IRONOMAN stepping in :) I agree that many gamers let brand concerns blind them to good entertainment (case in point: Apologie), though personally I 'deny myself enjoyment' for the sake of my wallet.

Apologie as impressive as that list may be to you(and Im not about to say they will be bad games at all) theres maybe 3 for me that look truely promising(seperating them from the standard hype for every game released these days) and 1 of them has been roumered to be going multiplatform for a long time(as bioshock was).
Well its pretty easy to accuse YOU of being a fanboy(sure tell us about the other consoles you've owned, like thats relevant) and I dont think anyone liked seeing "us" in your post there(well maybe a couple did I dont pay much attention anymore). dirigiblebill - Ah Sonybot is a spin on "xbot"(does anyone else put a really nasil, geeky voice to anyone who uses that term? Its the only voice that fits), it's not to be taken too seriously.

Now does that look like a blind fanboy attitude to you??? i don't dislike the Xbox, but if i had to choose between one or the other, i have no doubt in my mind that the Ps3 have much better value.

Oh and Mass Effect is published by MS isnt it? I doubt they will allow that to go multiplatform... ---------------------------------------- No my friend, Electronic Arts announced that they have "acquired" both BioWare and Pandemic Studios. EA cut a deal with Elevation Partners to buy up VG Holding Corp, which owns both companies... Of course, if Microsoft and BioWare plotted a trilogy from the start, Microsoft would have been smart enough to broker an exclusivity deal for all three games, right? It's not simple. BioWare, and in effect EA, owns the Mass Effect IP, not Microsoft. @Calgon: Ive got to say I cant see Sony finnishing anywhere but 3rd place because thats exactly where they should be this gen... ---------------- Well you are not probably aware of the last numbers but Ps3 is outselling even the Wii, is now dominating europe and Japan, and sales increased a lot in the last few months in America... Blu Ray is outselling Hd DVD too. |

There is still the 360's 2008 line-up to be announced on Feb. 20 at GDC.
BTW. UT3 bombed on both PC/PS3 they are only porting it to the 360 to try and recoup costs, which is unlikely. I predict GTAIV to be another PS3 disaster as they are yet again rushing the port. I only see MGS4 and GT5 going for the PS3 this year... not sure what the big deal is about LBP and FFXIVXI. The PS3 IMO is like your best friends' new born baby. Go over to their house see how cute it is, play with it some, but when you're fed up you just hand it back with no money spent. |

Apologie you are nuts, Wii is trouncing the PS3, its selling more than they can make(although I suspect now this is intentional on Nintendos part, theyve used tricks like this before and its worked). Let me guess you are making your assumptions based off a few weeks and ignoring all logic?
Btw(and this is only giving the fanboys a taste of their own medicine) the total is still 8.9 million shipped not sold... oh how does it go? Yeah theyve still got about 3 million in the warehouses and storerooms.(where as for 360 in both US and UK there were accounts of people resorting to second hand consoles because they were sold out in alot of places IIRC) Post your link anyway, thats the rule: you talk about any figures in such ways, you have to post your source unless... theres holes in your reasoning or its a shitty source?(VGchartz I wouldnt say are shitty but they are far from reliable or accurate).

@Apologie
Yaz, myself and many others have already explained the Mass Effect situation to you a thousand times. Mass Effect is published by MS (as Calgon said) hence it will not appear on the PS3. It is conceivably possible that Mass Effect 2 & 3 may show up on the PS3 at some stage, but the devs have denied any intention of making ANY Mass Effect games for the PS3 at this stage so stop talking jive you nonce. |

Its unlikely too because ME was announced as a trilogy and its a contract with BioWare and Microsoft, EA inherited that contract when they brought up BioWare,
Also I recall when people were saying 2007 was the PS3 year ... sorry I rather wait until the reviews come out before saying something is a AAA title, something Sony defenders have a habit of doing (Lair and Heavenly Sword anyone?) and as for BioShock in the PS3 ... now when Sonytards defend the "only on the PS3" then I have to apply the same for Xbox 360 exclusive games, its only "fair" and even if BioShock does end up in the PS3 its still going to be what? 1 year after it was released on PC and Xbox 360? The PS3 must really have great games if Xbox 360 sloppy seconds are so desired ... |

So development teams only make one game ever and nothing else? EG makes it seem as if there isn't even a possibility that this could be regarding another game. I mean, who cares, but posting conjecture as fact isn't something that impresses me.
It just isn't a proper comments section without the witty ramblings of Apolol, the ultimate PS3 fanboy! I'm a 360 fan and all, but I would never, ever praise any console as highly as Apolol lifts the PS3. And his posts always include yet another list, most of which consists of games only a few people would want, plus a blind disregarding of conrete facts (Mass Effect to appear on PS3, regardless of who publishes it!) It's comedy gold!

Apologie just owned all the xbots on this thread
...but but Halo 3 :) Besides PS3 doesn't even need that list since Resistance 2 is going to own the entire 360 line up next year http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-99108.aspx |

"Apologie just owned all the xbots on this thread
...but but Halo 3 :)" That will just never happen "Besides PS3 doesn't even need that list since Resistance 2 is going to own the entire 360 line up next year " Yep, because gameplay is always outshined by larger numbers. Perfect Sony logic. "More = better." |
