E3 2011: Bioshock PS Vita ‘is all-new game’

MCV Staff 8th June 2011 Event News

Ken Levine has said that the BioShock Vita project currently in-development at Irrational Games will be a new title for the IP.

Speaking to IGN, the studio’s creative director was keen to make it clear that the game was an all-new core entry in the BioShock universe, and not a port of any existing BioShock games or upcoming home console title BioShock Infinite.

"It’s a different project. It’s its own thing being built from the ground up," he said.

"That is going to be strange and surprising to people. I think we always want to surprise people. If I’m just saying ‘here’s BioShock 1 on Vita’, that’s something we could potentially do, but you don’t need us to do that. Somebody can make that happen."

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
