BioShock Infinite delayed to 2013; will be "even more extraordinary"

TVGB: "2K has just announced that it's delayed BioShock Infinite to next year, with February 2013 the new target. We can almost see the tears in Elizabeth's eyes."

[NYC_Gamer]

Damn :(

[GiggMan]

Yeah that sucks for real :(

[RankFTW]

Noooooooooooo, feels like we've been waiting forever already :(.

[F7U12]

"Since then, we’ve uncovered opportunities to make Infinite into something even more extraordinary"

Yeah I'm starting to really consider the rumors now...new hardware by next year. I just hope Sony has the PS4 ready by then also.

[dark-hollow]

WHY!! WHYYYYYY!!!

i know its for the good of the game but the wait is killing me :(

[Nimblest-Assassin]

ahem

"Darth Vader voice"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ! !!

THIS WAS MY MOST HYPED UP GAME FOR 2012 :(

[Downtown boogey]

Ahem...
http://www.nooooooooooooooo...

[NukaCola]

:'(

This kind of sucks. This just dumps on me after Ni No Kuni was pushed into 2013.

[SeekDev]

@NukaCola, I just found out about Infinite being delayed, and you tell me that Ni No Kuni was too? How am I ever going to do my math homework when I'm hit with this news?

[TruthSeeker]

It does suck, but Im glad they will be putting more time into the game, it'll be even better come next year! It is a relief for my wallet though.

[Cajun Chicken]

Just knew this was going to happen.

[LOGICWINS]

BLOPS 2, Halo 4, AC3, Tomb Raider, the Last of Us, Resident Evil 6 etc. It was inevitable. Bioshock Infinite would have be cannibalized if it came out this year.

[gaffyh]

From that list, Tomb Raider is soo gonna fail if it comes out in November. Maybe Bioshock is delayed because GTAV is coming out around the holiday season?

[LOGICWINS]

I don't think Tomb Raider should come out this year either. Early 2013 makes more sense.

I def think GTAV is coming out this year.

Max Payne 3 and GTAV in 2012

Bioshock Infinite and the next Red Dead game in 2013.

[Patriots_Pride]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHA.

Thats the only thing I can right from going mad.

[Baka-akaB]

I'll get killed but good ! Was going to have a financial nightmare even while ignoring stuff like gta and cod .

[PhantomT1412]

At least, I hope this means the coast is clear for GTA V, now that T2 doesn't have to worry about internal competition...

[John Kratos]

Shit.

[SeekDev]

Sums it up quite nicely.

[wanieldiik]

damn it, was really looking forward for this one. oh well

[Marcello]

We can almost see the tears in Elizabeth’s eyes, well check out the photo i took of myself 5 seconds after i saw the headline if you wanna see real tears Ken :(

[Convas]

On the bright side, I won't have to spend $120 in the month of October buying both Bioshock Infinite AND Assassins Creed III.

Still a day one!!

[hennessey86]

but on the bright side it will give them time to make the game even better.

[m23]

This will give us room to actually enjoy some games rather than cramming them all into such a small amount of time. Last year there were too many games, and I didn't really get to experience all of them as I should have.

[rezzah]

November is always the craziest month for gaming. Some of the best and most popular games come out that month.

This year will be no different.

[m23]

November will be all about halo 4 for me this year.

[jbiz320]

Make that October AND November. This year those two months are equally bananas.

[Darth Stewie]

Nooooo this sucks but hopefully this means GTA5 will release this year. If both Bioshock and GTA 5 don't release in 2012 than the only people that will be happy will be Capcom and Ubisoft because their biggest titles release in October

[Kennytaur]

Damn it! This was one of my most anticipated titles of the year..... Well, it gives me more time to work on my backlog at least.

[noxeven]

are u kidding wtf. sigh well now i have nothing i really give 2 shits about atm to look forward to

[Rampaged Death]

Worst news of the year unless GTA is replacing it.

[TheModernKamikaze]

At least they're going to improve it more!

[esemce]

Ya Bastad!

[dan_chan89]

GTA5

[Emilio_Estevez]

While that sucks, at least my wallet will be happier this holiday season.

[Moncole]

People are making its the end of the world.

[Croash]

Well I was looking forward to playing it before 21st December 2012! /stupidity.

But seriously, this was one of my most wanted games of 2012 along with Darksiders 2 and a few others. I'm really hyped because of Levine's way of thinking and the special difficulty mode which, after having playing through Bioshock on Survivor without using Vita-chambers, is something I hope will be a thrilling experience.

But anyway, as always, time flows quickly. E3 2012 is a month away (wh..what?!) and 2013 is just around the corner. I'm sure Bioshock Infinite will receive enough coverage before its release for it to look even more interesting and, hopefully, it will eventually sell more copies than Bioshock/Bioshock 2.

[Sizzon]

Oh... :( that sux I wanted it more than AC3 etc.

[SageHonor]

Smart move but shit

[nik666uk]

Or, "It's a mess and needs some work doing to it" Or, "We weren't as far through with the game as we said we were previously"

[Ricksta_13]

Im actually Happy, made a list of 20+ games I need to buy. Not enough time !!!

[Zechs34]

Yeah, this all but confirms that too many games are coming out at that time.

Edit: Hell, not to mention GTA V rumored to come out around that time frame. Oh well, we now have the first true 2013 GOTY candidate.

[BushLitter]

Which also gives AC3 clear 2012 GOTY winner now that Bioshock's out of the running

[Zechs34]

And I am inclined to agree, unless (and this is just wishful and opinionated thinking on my part) The Last of Us touches down this year. :)

[BushLitter]

Haha yeah, that might shake things up a bit :) But I seriously doubt it. If it were going to release this year, we would have known by now. Same goes for GTAV, sad to say. My wallet is all smiles and butterflies though

[sriki007]

something activision must learn. Delaying the games to make it better.

[Holeran]

If it means a better game for the same $60 then take all the time that you need.

[dorron]

PS Vita Version and PS3/Vita cross purchase, please!!!

[Raoh]

This

[r21]

well there goes one of my must buy list of games.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Time to move on I've lost intyest in this game.

[dubt72]

That's alright. As long as you haven't lost "interest."

[Trenta27]

It looks to be one of the greatest games this generation. Ken Levine knows what he is doing. Sorry that you lost "intyest" in this game, though. That's just too bad.

[mochachino]

NOOOO!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Funny, I didn't see this coming at all, makes sense though. They probably didn't want to compete against Medal Of Honor COD and Halo. Especially cod, as soon as that game gets released the sales of everything else will slow down.

[GraveLord]

Great. This year was too crowded anyway.

[Trenta27]

More polish. I'm okay with that.

[DwightOwen]

"When we announced the release date of BioShock Infinite in March, we felt pretty good about the timing, since then, we've come to realize that some specific tweaks and improvements will make Infinite into something even more extraordinary. Therefore, to give our talented team the time they need, we've decided to move the game's release to February 26, 2013."

Translation: "We have to gimp our game to run on consoles and we need to take the time to decide what to cut so that it doesn't look obvious. Hopefully by then everyone will have forgotten about last year's E3 gameplay demo running on a PC @60 fps with no jaggies 'cause this game is gonna be a sub-hd laggy clusterfuck on Xbox and PS3."
