Bioshock was rumoured to be coming out for the iPhone since not long after the App Store appeared. It'd be nice if they finally went ahead and did it, but I stopped holding my breath.
It's an insane game. I played it all night at my friend's house once... Only got an hour of sleep because I was playing it so much. Great game.
No prob. I just think that everyone should at least know what that game is, if not play it. I just hope this game doesn't get cancelled because of 2k Games or some other money/license based issue. I REALLY want this.
I can't believe you've never heard of Bioshock! It's been out since 2007 and is very popular. Also Bioshock 2 was released recently
I'm actually playing the first BioShock at the moment. BioShock on the iPhone would either destroy the first person shooter genre, or take it to the next level.
No matter how much we wish it probably won't happen. 1. IG FUN is not on the appstore 2. 2K isn't gonna make a crap game to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth (You obviuosly can't squeeze all of bioshock into a mobile game) 3. ITS A GENERIC CELLPHONE GAME! they always release these crappy games that have a brandname stuck on a crappy skinned engine to get people to buy them. 4. We all know deep inside we wouldn't want it that much
Bioshock will have a special place in my heart, but then Bioshock 2 came out and the special place was ripped out and stepped on put in a blender trust me i tried to like Bioshock 2 but I can't. Now this crap game is rearing its ugly head some game titles don't need sequels or mobile games and Bioshock is one also does anyone remember System Shock?
Interview with mobile developer covering both the 2D and 3D mobile versions of Bioshock Personally loved loved the original on Xbox360 and PC but I don't see it playing well on a mobile device with a touch screen, maybe once apple releases a controller for the ipod? The game needs to be really responsive since most of the tension comes from things jumping out at you out of no where. With a touch screen, you just can't move around like you should be able to in a FPS.
Yup, loved both System Shock 1 and 2. And must say that I loved Bioshock 1 and 2 as well. Honestly, I didn't think Bioshock 2 was as good as the first, but I also didn't feel that it was the travesty some people are making it out to be. The people on working on that game were obviously fans of the first, and really did their best to maintain the atmosphere and general "feel" of the first game.
i dont want to go too far off topic, but i would like to see 2k try to bring the darkness to the ipod touch/iphone, personally i think it was one of the best games they ever made, and one of the best fps games of its kind
Guys, i've got a email back from 2K: my Mail: Hey guys, yesterday I found this game: http://mediastore.verizonwireless.com/onlineContentStore/index.html?lid=//global//entertainment%20and%20apps//games#displayName=BioShock%203D&contentType=GAME&selectedItemID=36797474 Bioshock for Mobile Phones. Cool, but now a asked myself, what happend with the iPhone Version of the game, which was anncounced in 2008? http://toucharcade.com/2008/05/29/bioshock-coming-to-the-iphone/ Want it soo much and the other users of the Toucharcade forum as well. So please answer my question =) thanks, Klemens Answer: We do not have any information on if this was a demonstration of the power of the iPhone or a genuine product in the works for future release. I have passed this up to 2K Elizabeth to see if she can shed some light on this. Kind Regards
For the majority became the big disappointment that project Bioshock Mobile 3D on Symbian is closed. It was admitted by joint firm 2K - the developer of original version Bioshock. Thus small 3D the version leaves only on BREW and the full version in the size about 600MB leaves for iPhone/iPod Touch. 600MB it only the preliminary data. The developer promises super high-grade port of game on iPhone. The drawing as the card iPhone cannot reproduce the processor and video Shaders 3.0 will be certainly changed. But the developer tells that our accelerator equivalent 32MB video to the accelerator on the computer and support Shaders 1.2 is guaranteed. It has allowed to add various effects, such as a play of light and shades, reflexes on the weapon The joint developer 2K has given the full consent to game working out on iPhone, therefore it is necessary to wait as will answer AppStore when game will be ready. Unfortunately there are more than details at me is not present, as this project is not discussed while is under a secret, as before.
Soooo they are saying that it could work for iphone and that they are only going to do it if it is a high quality port (which is nice) but they can't comment on if they are actually going to do it at all. Looks like they already looked into it and it would be possible but porting it to an iphone version is going to be a real lot of work. Hmm,... this would be cool for us but I'm guessing they won't be doing it prob do to cost vs $$$ return concerns.
just out of curiousity, do you guys think that since the U3 engine is on iPhone, bioshock can run natively with some quality reduced assets?
