Will Too Many PS3 Owners Pass On Bioshock 2?

This is kinda like a public service announcement for PlayStation 3 owners. Hopefully, it won't be as annoying and unbelievably insulting as actual PSAs.

Here's the thing: Bioshock released on August 21, 2007 on the Xbox 360 and PC and at that time, there were only a tiny fraction of the PS3 owners that exist today. Granted, they may have played the game on either the 360 or PC but many PlayStation loyalists flat out missed it. Bioshock didn't release for the PS3 until over a year later on October 21, 2008 and while it could be argued that it was the superior version (due to extra content), the time gap is very significant. There were other great games to play on the PS3 by then and there was a misguided belief floating about; the belief that nobody wanted to play a 14-month-old title when other, fresher experiences were available. And now, as we're only mere weeks away from the release of the highly anticipated sequel, it comes in a month where most PS3 owners are fixating on the exclusive White Knight Chronicles and Heavy Rain. Now, I'm not saying one isn't allowed to have priorities, nor am I saying that it's wrong to put either of the aforementioned games ahead of Bioshock 2 on your list.

But I am saying that the stage appears to be set for too many PS3 owners to ignore this guaranteed-to-be-awesome sequel. We're looking at what should be a genuine Game of the Year contender here and it really should receive the appropriate amount of attention. Yeah, there are lots of of games coming out soon but if you missed out on the first Bioshock, you really don't know what you're likely missing if you pass on the sequel...

BioShock 2 reviewed by IGN

It's going to be a familiar experience for anyone that played the original, but BioShock 2's improvements to gameplay and its more focused storyline make for a game that's more playable and easier to digest. Some of the sense of awe and mystery is lost in transition, but the strength of the setting and more interesting implementation of moral choice make for an experience that's more consistent and rewarding. Anyone looking for a first-person shooter that offers more than flat, stereotypical characters and copy-and-paste supersoldier plots, one that attempts to establish a sense of right and wrong and loops you into the decision making process, and one that's set in one of the most vividly realized settings around should pick up BioShock 2. It's a game in which story, setting, and gameplay are expertly blended to create an experience that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

The original BioShock had some texture issues at launch on the PS3, despite being in the oven a full year longer than it's Xbox 360 and PC counter parts. Obviously, for the sequel, 2K wanted to avoid any similar blemishes, hoping to achieve parity across all three platforms.

This process was a tricky one, though, said BioShock 2 Lead Environment Artist Hogarth De La Plante. Speaking during a developer teleconference, Hogarth spoke about some of the challenges of developing a game for all three platforms simultaneously.

"What we had to do is compromise to what the strengths and weaknesses of each platform are," said Hogarth. "The main goal we set out with at the beginning is that we wanted the experience to basically be identical on all three platforms."

"We dont wanna reward anyone for owning a particular platform or punish anyone for owning a different one. It's the same game for all three platforms, and yeah, it was tricky to get it that way."

BioShock 2 is due out next week on February 9th, for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
