Should stick to the consoles they are meant for, not come to Wii -- unless they can pull it off well.

Well, I guess it could work. There's really nothing in Bioshock that couldn't have been done on Wii without the usual graphical downgrade. I kind of doubt it, though.

Not really, considering its a multi-plat game .. and deadspace, which was also multi-plat, is coming to the Wii.

I heard about this ages ago when Bioshock actually came out, not the worst idea but there are many games like this, Star Wars Force Unleashed for instance...long story short I bought it on Wii and it was garbage...the physics quality between Wii and X360 is too great for them to release games like that...Bioshock on Wii wouldn't have been so bad if it came out with the X360 game but its too late...releasing it now would be stupid its obviously not going to be as good as Bioshock on X360.

If it's true then just release Bioshock 2 on wii. PS3 version of bioshock sold badly because it was released a year after the 360/PC editions.

They'd be better doing a side story for the Wii where they can concentrate on the Wiis strengths.

The guys who did Sean Whites got it right the played to the Wiis strengths and made a better game because of it.

I hope they don't give us the first one and just release it when they release Bioshock 2. I'd certainly but it though.

I agree. Bioshock was one of those games that could be done on Wii, but the devs really pushed the hardware on other platforms to make it the best it could be. Unless they made a completely new game from the ground up (which would essentially make it a somewhat different game), I don't really want to see it on the Wii. Also, I already have it on the PC.

No, you are the fool.

Halo is a Microsoft Exclusive, that is why it will never be on Playstation 3.

Bioshock, however, is not Microsoft exclusive. It is on PC, 360, and PS3. It is not impossible to port Bioshock to Wii. As long as they take their time on it to make sure it is good quality, it will be a AAA title.

Bioshock got ported to PS3 a year after its initial release.

The Wii doesn't need BAD ports. It infantry ward decides to port COD4 to Wii, I am all for it.

I'm just saying the Wii has too many ports already. It needs new games not ports.

If it were to work, theyd have to build ground up on a very specific Wii Version, kinda like Deadspace is trying (almost to the point of being a seperate game). Otherwise, I dont think it stands a chance of being good.

Hmm, that would be interesting. I played Bioshock for a bit at a friends house and it was great. It'd be even better if I could use the wiimote.

If they make it from the ground up, should make it possible to bring it to the wii. It looked interesting when my neighbour played it so I might check it out if the wii gets it.

Interesting -- well if it ended up being really good and they ended up selling it for a bargain price, it'd be worth it. Though with how much it'd have to be downgraded ... Yikes. I loved Bioshock when I played it though, and that was on my brother's PC. There's no way my computer could handle that game. At least it'd be an opportunity for me to be able to get that game, but hopefully it'd do alright. Though I agree, the game has been out for awhile and releasing it this late, who knows -- maybe if they released along side Bioshock 2 for the Wii or something (if that was a possibility) I think it'd do better.

Rumors are rumors. I don't think a game like Bioshock would be exactly appealing to the main Wii demographic.

Yeah but Dead Space is likely being built off of the original Xbox version.

As for Bioshock Wii, I would crap my pants. And then play it.

1) That would be sweet, Bioshock plus Wii controls would own all! I always wanted Bioshock for Wii! 2) To all the haters... Why all the hate? Be happy that a great game/series like Bioshock could be coming to Wii. The Wii might not be as powerful as PS3 or 360, but it's diffidently not N64 archaic. Wii can still do incredible graphics, just depends on the art direction and effort.

Would you change your pants first or just sit down and play? I think it would be cool to have games like this on the Wii.

Bioshock was built around atmosphere, art style and a fantastic story. If this rumour comes true then 2K need too keep those aspects and let the Wii controls add an extra level of immersion. Could be a definitive version.

If it was an all new game I would probably buy it, but if it is simply the same as it is on the other systems with a graphical downgrade I would pass, only because I already own it and it takes a very very good game for me to buy it twice (off the top of my head only RE4 and Zelda come to mind).

Bioshock is mostly corridors and smaller, self-contained environments, so there's no reason it shouldn't be able to. Corruption had some larger environments than Bioshock.

i really dont see why its so bad to bring bioshock to wii, i think it would be great if they did, everyone keeps complaining about the graphics, the graphics dont have to take a big hit like most games have, take the ngage and the game ONE, they had 1500 poly characters, fully mapped 3d enviroments, bump mapping, realtime lighting, 300 moves motion captured, all on a 104mhz device with no graphics acceleration, the ps2 was pulling the same weight on a 300mhz processor and a graphics card to back up the visuals, the developers just havent taken the time to just play with the hardware and see what they can push, i wish digital legends (Development studio behind ONE)could have a go at wii hardware

btw there is a fully 3d version of Bioshock coming out on mobile phones that looks pretty good although a bit 64-ish in design

hahaha... NO. Really doubt it, even though there is a small possibilty, i dont know why people would like to play this after a thousand years, granted that the other versions are pretty good, more affordable and more superior. Oh, maybe there are bringing Bio Shock to Wii, but as a on-rail shooter... lol :P

*blinks* Did anybody read the link? The entire rumor is based on the fact that the place that made Bioshock is hiring people who know how to develop for all next gen consoles. I'm sorry but that isnt enough to go on to say they might be porting Bioshock. It's just not.

It wont ever come to Wii, and I wouldn't want it to. As much as I love Bioshock, I don't want to see it gimped just to get a Wii version out there (I'd buy it, but almost gaurantee I'd be disappointed). I'd rather them work on solid next steps for the franchise. Look at Dead Space, they aren't advancing the story...they aren't even staying true the genre of the game. It's a waste if you ask me.

Yea, from Mario Kart to Ayn Rand, quite a stretch.
