Makers of Bioshock recruiting for PS3 IP?

Posted on October 30th, 2007 at 18:06 EDT

According to a job posting on Gamesutra, 2k Boston is looking for a senior console programmer with experience working on the PS3 a plus.

The job description states that after the recent success Bioshock, 2K Boston has begun pre-production on their next project, and are in need of a qualified senior programmer.

"Required Experience and Skills:

• At least three years experience working with recent generation game console technology (Xbox, Xbox360, PlayStation2 or PlayStation3)
• Must have shipped at least two game titles (or one game title if substantial experience in a related field)
• Excellent understanding of C/C++
• Good understanding of OO design principles
• Strong communication skills
• Strong understand of console design and optimization techniques
• Commitment to code quality, documentation and sound testing procedures.

Experience with PS3 development is highly desirable."

With Microsoft securing Bioshock and any sequels with their mountain of money, we have to presume that its something new. No word yet on exactly what, but stay tuned for updates.

@ bnolan56

The article states that they are starting their next project and need a senior manager. I'd say that means a new game is coming.

They might just want people to work on the PS3 because all they have  developing for them is morons that have no talent what so ever.

Natural Talent is not within most developers. They show me retardness. Why not just make a great PS3 game and go down in history, I cant wait for Kojima to release MGS4. There goes a guy who takes PRIDE in his work.

Bioshock is a great IP.  Hopefully they have something in mind for us.

Sounds like a multiplat title, you guys are over reacting.  It is probably going to be on PS3 but I wouldn't call it a "PS3 IP".

I have finished playing Bioshock and will without question play it again.

 

A first class game that is in my top 10 best games ever played (and I've played a lot). Bioshock is a big cut above the rest - it's not just a graphics thing the story is what makes it - its a big winding journey so you have to prepare for it, clear two weeks and inform your freinds & loved ones that you'll be MIA for a while. Its worth the trip.

 

See you at the other end :)

Crytek asked something similar in the past. If so I think we can see a future title for the PS3 or a optimized Bioshock for the PS3.

I like that devs are finally starting to look at the PS3 as a competitor now. It's about time.

Bioshock would be great for PS3 but I can't honestly see Crysis making it to PS3. Dont get me wrong - as a console PS3 has good performance but it can't match the performance of modern PC's. You need a lot of CPU & GPU to handle Crysis but most of all you need memory. 256Mb of system and 256Mb of graphics in PS3 is just not going to cut it at this level of gaming. For the Crysis demo I upgraded from 2GB of system memory to 4GB and my NVidia GPU is much more powerful than the NVidia GPU in PS3 and I have 768Mb of video memory - and you know what? You can do with some more.

 

Most serious gamers have both Console & PC anyway so I guess some games are better on PC and others better to play on consoles. Its always been that way and from what Ive seen with Crysis so far - it will stay that way.
