2K Games says PS3 Bioshock not gonna happen - period!

PS3 owners are desperate for some quality content for their console of choice. After all, we can only play Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction for so long, and seeing all those sweet titles on the Xbox 360 is beginning to get a bit aggravating. Well, clearly Bioshock publisher 2K Games doesn't care, and they are sick of people asking if their "Big Daddy" will stomp onto the PS3.

Despite rumors suggesting the atmospheric story-driven FPS might be coming to Sony's console, 2K Games representatives are adamantly insisting that no such port is in development, now or ever. While we understand they are trying to be clear and decisive, unlike Konami regarding Metal Gear Solid 4. Unfortunately, 2K comes off sounding more than a bit like an angry parent telling their kid "no" for the umpteenth time. Their official statement on the 2K Games forums was, "There will be no PS3 version of BioShock. It has been explained time and time again." Wow, I think we get it.

At least they aren't waffling. Those looking to get their plasmid fix will have to turn to the PC or Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Haze on schedule for a December release

You may have noticed that shooters are very popular. Despite a wealth of excellent ones having already been released this year, there is one more that's been flying somewhat under the radar; Haze.

Gamasutra is reporting that Officials from Ubisoft have confirmed that Free Radical’s forthcoming PS3-exclusive action title will be released on December 14. While they didn't confirm a specific date for the North American release, several online retailers are indicating it will be available December 4th. The announcement follows widespread speculation that the title had been delayed into 2008.

The game has undergone a series of shifts in platform during its development. Originally announced for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, the game became a PlayStation 3 exclusive in September. Further rumors that the game was only a timed exclusive have never been definitively addressed by either Ubisoft or Free Radical, with the companies only definitively stating that the game is planned for the PlayStation 3. Reading between the lines, I would be shocked if it didn't land on the Xbox 360 at some point. After all, with the high cost of game production, what developer can afford to leave money on the table right now?

If it makes a December release, Haze will be the last notable shooter releasing this year. Let's just hope it can find a following among the crowd of impressive shooters already battling for a piece of your gaming time.
