2K Games has enlisted the help of Digital Extremes, the makers of Dark Sector, for help on the PS3 version of BioShock. The port, which is already being developed by three different 2K Studios now adds a fourth.
While Dark Sector wasn't that good of a game (X-Play Review 2 / 5) it did run incredibly well on the PlayStation 3.
How should we read this? Is 2K having that much trouble getting BioShock to run on the PS3? Is the award-winning FPS not running as well as it could?
"By partnering with Digital Extremes, 2K Games is delivering a fully optimized experience that takes advantage of the PLAYSTATION 3 system hardware," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Bringing Digital Extremes on board allows us to continue to deliver the best experience possible to our fans."
We'll get to see the game at E3 2008 so be sure to check out all of G4's coverage, which begins on July 14th.

Props to 2k for pushing their limits and making themselves better. Too bad more companys arnt like this and only care about getting crappy games rushed out the door to make a quick buck.
Ratchet & Clank - 5
GT5: Prologue - 4
Heavenly Sword - 4
Warhawk - 4
I've been programming under the Microsoft language for years now, and nothing out there is more simple. People may bash Bill Gate's MS for stuff, but the guy was brilliant for one thing. 1.) he gave the programming kits to everyone for free. 2.) the language is simple and easy.
This is why the Xbox 360 has companies more than happy to write games for it. Stupid japs man. Morons. Screwin the world with their bluray.
That was a savage burn. My fingers are stinging typing this. I applaud you sir.
Back on topic though, anything they have to do to bring this over in the best way. Everyone should play Bioshock and I'd hate to see a piss-poor port like Orange Box got.
bioshock is damn good... but been there done that on the 360.
on a side note, dark sector is easily a 4/5 game.
graphics, gameplay amoung other things are great.
really don't understand why it got a 2/5 ?
i'd say the game is a big sleeper an in some ways reminds me of gears with the cover/shoot and the running is very similar aswell.
And the PS3 is much closer to the power of the 360 than so what many people seem to cheer about. I've said it before but there's less seperating the 360 and PS3 than what seperated the PS2 and Xbox.

Can u blame me for assuming the usual suspects would showup? This is the exact type of topic that just draws them in, for sum reason tho, they have yet to show up. Dont bother me tho in the slightest lol
