8D I'm having trouble deciding what system to buy it for and since this is the most adequate forum for this thread i'll talk here. So I have the first Bioshock on my PS3, and I know another huge install is coming and to bad my 40 GB has been maxed out for months, I really would prefer to play it on PS3 for obvious comfortability reasons having played the first one on PS3. My main concern is if the PS3 version doesn't run as well as the xbox 360 version!! I am a true Bioshock fan and yeah i've been reminiscing about this for the past month! Also whether to get the Special Edition or not, Well, (here's hoping a review comes in by IGN of the Special Edition by Monday :O). Also for your willingness and kindness to read this post and help me I leave you with a poll about what version of Bioshock 2 you will be obtaining!! ARGH!
I would wait reviews and the overall feedback man. It's not like it's going to be insanely better on the PC (the first one looks about the same only with increased resolution and framerate -no in-game AA)andit will most likely run equally on the consoles, its been a long time in development and with a very big team. So... just choose any of them.
well i would personally go with PC but deciding between ps3 & 360 i recommend watching comparison videos there are always little differences and if there arent go with the controller u prefer for FPS
[QUOTE="Parasomniac"]I'm getting it on PS3. They're actually giving you the option to have shooting with R1 and Plasmids with L1. Much better that way.NAPK1NS
Nice! I hated that about the PS3 version. Can you confirm this? http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=547485#post547485 It was confirmed on the official 2k forums by 2k staff
I really don't think it'll matter. Get the version of the game for the system you use more? Or like more?xsubtownerx
You're probably right. Anyone know if the studio at 2k Marin did Bioshock PS3 cause I heard something a while back about the devs switching programmers and what not.

The game looks great in this PS3 walkthrough.

I was probably over reacting the situation, and I prefer the PS3 controls for Bioshock in particular(i've played the 360 Bioshock), so I might go for the PS3. Now Collector's Edition or no Collector's Edition!?(Will be second time I snab a CE next to Fallout 3)
PS3 version just because Blue-ray disc is superior than normal DVD with larger capacity and harder to get scratch. 360 version has none of the above mention.
PC version is obviously the best. But if i had to choose between the xbox and ps3, I would consider this: - Which one of them is louder? I want to hear the amazing sound of the game, not the fans! - Best community? (depends on which system your friends at, my pick is Xbox) - Best graphics (we will see about that) - Most comfortable controls (i prefere Xbox) I hope we meet in rapture if you ever would buy the PC-version! Edit: Oh, I forgot. The reliability is pretty important, which system do you trust wont fail the most?
Plus it natively supports the 360 controller, so PC version wins in controls as well. Oh and 60fps, so yeah. You'd rather use a 360 controller than a kb/m in an FPS?

The only FPS and TPS I know of so far that Controller > Mouse are Killzone 2 and Dead Space. Sure KZ2 isn't on PC, but it would suck on M+KB for the same reason Dead Space does, they are slower games. No twitchy movements, so it doesn't translate well onto PC. Other than that, for every twitchy shooter (Bioshock had twitchy controls so I assume the second will) M+KB is king.
I bought it for PC, because I played the original on 360 and I'm not really buying 360 games anymore. I could have bought it for PS3, but I already have the original on Steam from a sale a couple years ago. Sounds like a pretty inconsequential, nonsense reason, right? Good. Because there's so little difference between the 3 versions that really, it takes something that minor to tip towards one platform or another.

Well, the PC has better graphics (even if just the resolution) and more frames per second. Also, most people prefer kb+m for FPS. These aren't groundbreaking reasons, but they're not minor differences either.
So, if you have a capable PC, I think it is the recommended system. Although if you don't, you're not missing out on much if you choose either of the other two.
I prefer controllers as well. I'm replaying Bioshock today on my PC with a Dualshock 3 through blutooth, emulated to a 360 controller so I can play on the 52 inch from my couch.
Controllers are fine for FPS when the games are designed with them in mind in addition to the KB/M, like Bioshock.
I'm going with 360 since that's where I played the first one. I don't really care for anything in the CE except for the artbook (which I REALLY want) but an artbook isn't worth $40 so I went with the standard game.
