1) Yup - it mentions in the starting linked thread that the shots came from the pc with 360- pad support - and also a member of 2k took one look at the thread and thanked everyone for pointing out the 'downgraded' areas, assuring that the team are going right back and double checking everything and fixing anything they missed. 
2)This may be an old build of the game

3) graphically its the same pretty much, just the ps3 has some weird ass blur effect going on which definitely needs to go

4) its a por,t come on- these things ever work right?

5) i have bioshock for the pc, i play at 1682x1050 resolution on very high settings - and whislt playing the demo on ps3, i myself happened ot think it was a downright decent job, Rpture still looked fantastic, as did the water, the effects and character models

I love how every thread on Giant Bomb boils down to chimps throwing their shit at each other.  It's like a super bloated version of system wars.

Close this thread, cause its not a PS3 vs 360 comparison. The pics have long since been confirmed as the PC version with a 360 controller.

I think 2K have dealt with this situation as best as they could. I mean - they've come out and said they're gonna check the game for any issues which is exactly what you want to hear.

Also - they must be pretty bummed that people are basically ruining the reputation of this release just two weeks before it hits. If that is a PC screen, running at the highest possible settings, compared to a PS3 screen which runs at medium resolution I believe (same as the 360) one, then they've got to be pretty gutted that some fanboy has ruined sales obviously just to make their console seem superior.

Having never experienced Bioshock on 360 (and given I don't own one) I'll be playing this game anyway. All I'll say is that when the GiantBomb team played it they mentioned on the Bombcast the game looks "identical to the 360 version and a inferior to the PC one" and also when it was reviewed in PSM3 UK Magazine they seemed to not have any issues with the graphics.

I guess we'll have to wait for other sources now but I wouldn't be too hasty just yet -- wait and see what both 2K and other respectable websites have to say.

I just can't understand 2K screwing up what is probably one of their biggest IP's. There are movies, books, etc coming for this game and they seem to have really put effort into hyping up what is essentially a port... why would they bother doing all that if they're going to put out a lazy release.

I say wait.

First of all those pics are taken from a DEMO! The demo isn't the final video quality of the actual game so I think we need to compare the proper screen shots here, Second,  the washed out look is probably because the person who captured these images probably didn't even have their PS3's display settings set properly.  See the link for details.

Holy crap, I thought the 360 fanboys were being nuts at the start, now the Sony Defense Force is drinking some serious kool-aid.

This thread just needs to die. Seriously.

FACT: The PS3 version is a port with slightly downgraded graphics.
FACT: The game still plays.

So who cares. People buy MegaMan 9 for fuck's sake. It's 8-fucking-bit!

All I wanna say is check your video settings on the PS3, you have cross color control  and other stuff check here http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/273320.html

Even if the screenshots were taken from the PC version, the community manager from 2K admitted that textures were inferior to that of the 360, at least in the demo. When someone from 2K admits it, it really doesn't matter what other sites have said.

If there are dramatic differences then that means 2K and their developers haven't been able to port 100% on the PS3. Which isn't shocking considering many developers haven't been able to. Patches are possible though so those who are planning on playing Bioshock on the PS3 shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I think the issue is, this has to look fucking mint on the ps3, considering its a year late compared to the other two next gen venues.

Those images dont inspire much confidence.

With the lack of worthwhile games on the PS3...I don't see how ANYONE'S is actually "working".

its hilarious how fanboys have to ruin a thread that could've held such good discussions.....


and has anyone even checked to see if this is true? Aaron is starting to sound like an xbot now in my opinion.

Wasn't the PS3 version supposed to look better than the 360 ?

The only thing I'm wondering is: why is this discussion still going on when it's been proven that the screenshot comparison is a fake?

Just because he makes a thread stating that the PS3 port is inferior, after a 2K community manager even said so? As I said earlier, even if those were PC screenshots, the PS3 version has been stated to be inferior even by someone who works at 2K.

This is not about system wars, this is about the lack of quality in a port. If someone hasn't bought Bioshock yet and were interested in it, and have both systems, this has helped them come to a decision of which version to get. The game will still be great on the PS3, so if people only have a PS3, then they'll probably still enjoy the game. Some people will over-react and make a big deal about it, but at the end of the day Bioshock will still be a great game even if the textures are not on par with the 360 version.

Lol,
Tbh i have both PS3 and 360, and games generally look and feel better on the xbox 360.
I don't know why...
It just does.
Except those few PS3 games that feel right, Like Formula 1 and tiger woods 09.

the 2K manager never said so

''Hey guys,

First, I want to thank you for the acute attention to detail and the Spartan level of expectation our most devoted BioShock fans hold us to, and how excited you are and attentive to the BioShock PS3 demo. When we saw a post asking about issues found in the demo, we jumped on it immediately. And you know what, you're right. The texture in the PS3 demo of the downed Big Daddy does not match our level of quality either. This slipped by. We admit it. However, I want to assure you that this is an exception, and not a rule, and while I regret this oversight, we put a lot of love into making this game look amazing for the PS3 and I'm sure that when you play the rest of the demo you will agree that the textures are not all like this one instance.

As for the other issues and concerns, we are currently diligently working to replicate any bugs, and will report back to you with what we find. Thank you for your vigilance here and moving forward.''


They claim that its going to be fixed so who cares? And besides, thats the only texture we've seen with that prob.....

How am I sounding like an Xbot? Just because your to ignorant to realise that 2K fucked up a port doesn't mean I'm a fanboy. Your logic makes no sense whatsoever, I dedicate my time to the PS3 forum. Why? Because I only own a PS3. Seriously, that comment just made you out to be the fanboy, not me. I was just stating the obvious, and the obvious is the PS3 version is simply not good enough.

the pics. are confirmed fake, thats all i have to say, you shouldn't make a thread made of flamebait stating ''half-assed port'' in it otherwise all the fanboys start ****ing up the thread....this game looks perfectly fine and if you think one little texture prob= a ''half-assed port'' than what would you call games like blacksite area 51? Now THATS a half-assed port for ya.

wow just looked at the screenshots and commented on them - should've read the thread first I would've enjoyed reading this console flame war

Why not just shake hands and walk away this arguments typically go nowhere and then the mods will bring out this

Bow before the mighty banhammer!

Maybe those textures look bad just on Big Daddy, what about the rest of the game?
