BioShock 2 Getting Simultaneous Release

by Nick Breckon, Mar 20, 2009 1:03pm PDT

Easing the minds of PC and PS3 gamers, 2K has confirmed plans to launch BioShock 2 simultaneously on all of its platforms.

The sequel to 2K Boston's underwater shooter is set for a PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 launch this fall, according to CVG.

The original BioShock was released on PC and Xbox 360, with a PlayStation 3 port coming more than a year later.

Gamers have also been burned recently by a spate of minor delays to PC versions of multiplatform titles, as in the case of Prince of Persia, Dead Space, Tom Clancy's HAWX and others.

Meh, won't have the system to run it well. BioShock is somewhat acceptable on medium settings but pretty slow at a good amount of places.

Unless I win that über laptop thing they have going.

      If you have to start at $1500 to build a gaming rig, you have no idea what you are doing.
