BioShock Infinite

Game » consists of 17 releases. First released on Mar 26, 2013

The third game in the BioShock series leaves the bottom of the sea behind for an entirely new setting - the floating city of Columbia, circa 1912.

You Didn't Really Want to Play BioShock Infinite This Year Anyway, Right?

So, Dishonored and Hitman Absolution will be the more interesting games to see at E3? Maybe Ass Creed 3, but I've been disappointed in that franchise's showings since 2.

Nooooooo

#253 Posted by ArsenalFan (50 posts) - 1 year, 9 days ago

I could really do without the sarcasm in the titles for news articles

#254 Posted by EndlessLotus (108 posts) - 1 year, 9 days ago

Bloody hell! The one good non-sequel title of the year....

#255 Posted by liquiddragon (111 posts) - 1 year, 9 days ago

damn, there goes my most anticipated game this year.

Delayed for tacked on multiplayer with microtransactions and/or kinect integration. I'm calling it now.

Actually, I heard it was for online asynchronous multiplayer and crossplay with the Vita version (sold separately).

Seriously, Asynchronous multiplayer would be kind of crazy and awesome, especially with the phase shift/time shift stuff they are doing.

Just remember, if a good game is delay, it can be a good thing, a bad game will always be a bad game, from Miyamoto, except for Duke Nukem.

Hey, whatever man.

I would have liked to play it this year, but delays always make the final product better.

Besides, this gives the GTA V in October thing even more credence.

Yeah, I've given up already. Alex Navarro doesn't know HOW to write without inserting bad attempts at cleverness. You can almost hear how hard he's forcing it.

#261 Posted by thesage (52 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Surprisingly, I'm not mad or upset about this at all. To be honest I don't really care about Bioshock being delayed, even though I've watched every single trailer and teaser video and know it will be a decent game. Hmm, maybe my excitement for games has begun to die down.

#262 Posted by LordXavierBritish (6232 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

In before pushed to next gen consoles.

#263 Posted by SmilingPig (1276 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I have no longer any expectations from Bioware, as far as I am concerned it’s just an empty brand that EA puts on "B" titles to pretend that it’s an "A" game.

#264 Posted by mr_shoeless (350 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

This will also give the Elizabeth character time to have breast reduction surgery.

#265 Posted by Loopah (128 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Yeah, does this not scream next-gen release?

#266 Posted by Obinice (262 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I approve. If you're going to do something, take your time and do it well.

#267 Posted by Bunny_Fire (219 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

well looks like no one will see it end of the world this year right? ...

#268 Posted by NMC2008 (754 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Probably the only game I wanted to play this year. I am running into that wall where nothing exciting me at the moment, this is the first time in my life that E3 isn't exciting me, I am usually a bag of excitement at E3 time, but I am currently not hyped at all, hopefully that'll change. To be 100% honest, I am looking more forward to the E3 Bombcasts than E3 itself.

#269 Posted by BLKZOMBIE (92 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! WTF! Well, I guess that leaves more time for Borderlands 2.

#270 Posted by BoomSnapClap113 (161 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Awwweee. Although I am all for putting out a finished polished game. I was soooo looking forward to playing this.

#271 Posted by Roger778 (798 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

That's disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing it on the E3 videos this year. But, regardless, if it gives Ken Levine more time to make it wonderful then I can wait.

Oh, by the way, everyone, I don't believe the world is going to end this year. That's just a crazy Mayan legend or myth.

#272 Posted by Sticky_Pennies (1869 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

It's killing me, but I'm going to have to man up and accept it. Besides, the game will be better off for it.

#273 Posted by JakeLogan (207 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

In all seriousness, please do. I've got way too much video game on my plate to even consider this gem for a while. Everyone, take a hint: back the fuck up and let me breath.

#274 Posted by DFILL450 (52 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I wanted to play this game before the end of the world. Oh well.

#275 Posted by cuxun (49 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I understand its getting delayed and everything, but why the fuck they announced this at 2010!!!!!! I mean I understand a better game will come out because of the delay, but Jesus!!!!

#276 Posted by FlipperDesert (1807 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

2012's looking a little sparse to me now that this and Prey 2 are not in it.

#277 Posted by Alexandru (301 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I can tell it's Navarro from the title.

#278 Posted by Eyz (451 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

awwww, come on :/

#279 Posted by Moonshadow101 (458 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I was half-thinking that this game had already been released, but had simply faded into obscurity so quickly that I didn't notice it.

#280 Posted by TheSouthernDandy (2877 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago
@mr_shoeless

This will also give the Elizabeth character time to have breast reduction surgery.

If she does I'm out! No sale!
#281 Edited by gaminginpublic (105 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I was going to say, "GOD DAMNIT!" But, then I remembered what happened when Skyrim was released, and how it was basically a broken piece of shit for PS3 for 3 months until Bethesda finally got around to kind of/sort of fixing it.

#282 Posted by cannedstingray (312 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I really wouldn't care, but I have a feeling they have figured out some sort of multiplayer to add, and that is what the extra time is being used for.

I'm sure 2K is pushing for some mp and would be willing to extend an already very long dev cycle to allow implementation.

#283 Posted by firecracker22 (280 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Jeff's been pointing out for a while now that seeing less of Bioshock could be a good thing because the pitch of the game has essentially already been made and well received.

Them skipping the convention shows and focusing entirely on development is a huge plus I think. Even if it is being used to work on multiplayer, it seems like a smart move. I don't see how them showing anymore of the game will do anymore good, either. I think by this point with what they've said, and showed, people who are in are sold on it already. People who are on the fence or not yet sold on it probably won't make a decision until after it's released anyway.

I dunno. Just seems like an appropriate decision given the change in circumstances with the release date being pushed back.

#284 Posted by KamikazeCaterpillar (1176 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

And the number of games I'm looking forward to this year becomes one.

#285 Posted by Kenshinfan818 (60 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

It sucks that it's getting pushed back but in the long run it will definitely be worth it. While it sucks that it won't come out for a while this isn't a game that's going to be pushed to the side. Extra time means that the game will most likely come out better.

#286 Posted by morrelloman (570 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

I'm on the bandwagon here. Imagine what would of happened to ME3 without a delay.

#287 Posted by captainanderson (241 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Damn Ken Levine and his perfectionism.

#288 Posted by McDayman (34 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

Sucks to have it pushed back....but it will give us an unexpected gem for early next year while I'm sure there's plenty to keep people busy this fall.

#289 Posted by Beforet (2629 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

That woman's tears disturb me more than her cleavage ever did.

On an unrelated note; no, I didn't want to play Bioshock Infinite anytime soon. Not really. It seems like it will be neat, but I don't need it to be out. I'll wait.

#290 Posted by spiralsin (91 posts) - 1 year, 8 days ago

This makes me sad.

#291 Posted by piropeople13 (397 posts) - 1 year, 7 days ago

As long as it results in a better game this is great. My shame stack of unused games is wayyyyyyy too tall.

#292 Posted by MocBucket62 (622 posts) - 1 year, 7 days ago

Damn, I was really hoping to play this. I never played a Bioshock game before, but this looked really interesting.

#293 Posted by Arctodus_Simus (1 posts) - 1 year, 6 days ago

Yes, I did :(
