Pidesco Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Everyone knows Obsidian fanboys are superior to Bethesda fanboys. On topic: Bioshock is looking more and more impressive. It seems like the story will be truly original.

metadigital Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Um, I'd be very surprised (read: mightily pissed off) if they didn't release a PC version as well. It looks like, from the wording, they are specifying the "next generation console" part as an emphasis (probably an industry code for PS3), rather than as a notation of exemption.

alanschu Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'd be surprised too. If they're making a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, it'd probably make sense to not completely sever their history with the previous fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I don't think they'd be so stupid as to not put out a PC release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 That's true, Return on Investment is king for the investor, having said that though I have always been led to believe that this was a PC title. The mention in the company report just adds a refererence to "next generation console", not distancing itself from the PC. It is far too small a piece of information to make any conclusions from.

Slowtrain Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 You're right, of course. It's just revisting the whole Cthulu thing has resulted in my feeling unexpectedly bitter. I sincerely hope Bioshock does have a pc version. But thing I hope for seem rarely to happen. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

As meta said, it's about ROI, and an established fan base has higher probability of a sale compared to an unfamiliar market. The decision to go console only would be if they felt that the untapped market was so much more significant or the established market miniscule. Though IMO SS2 was one of the most pirated games of its time (my evidence coming from my friend who ran an old school FTP site), which would indeed hurt the PC sale numbers, despite the game's popularity.

LoneWolf16 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It has a PC version...even says so in the article from the Codex. A 360 version will come out just a bit before the PC.
