Bioshock Infinite suffers another setback

4.5
Developer Irrational Games have once again delayed the release date for Bioshock Infinite.

The game was set to be released on February 26, but the studio have now pushed the date back to March 26.

The games Creative Director, Ken Levine reasoned the pushed back release date as:
“It’s primarily polish and bug fixing,”
Levine then continued to add
“You know, 'let’s make that narrative scene that much better. Let’s do another pass on the timing of that scene. Let’s do another balance pass.’ It’s a game we could have shipped in February. It just wouldn’t be the game that we think the fans deserve. And that doesn’t mean it was far off from that, but they deserve what they deserve. And when we ask people to pony up a lot of money for this game, we have to feel confident that we’re giving them something that they deserve.”

“I knew I was going to take some slings and arrows about it, but I always just said ‘look, at the end of the day, the slings and arrows will go away. The game will last forever.’”

With so many big name developers recently releasing what feels like half finished games, It's nice to know that this studio cares enough to release a properly tested and hopefully well polished game.

Just respect them. Delay the games means they care that they want everyone to have good gaming experience.

At least there trying to fix it instead of rushing a umfinished game.

That's quite annoying, but i'm happy that they are not rushing it.

They need to stop pushing back the dates. I'm ready to play this already.

I hope this game is as great as all of the hype it's getting. I personally loved Bioshock 2.

Kurthy353 I used to be pumped up for this game and now it has turned into me not even wanting it anymore. Many other games I would rather play than this now due to the fact of how long I have waited. They should have had it released last year, but now this is just too far. Don't even put a release date on a game if you are going to constantly keep delaying it and making us even more angry.


me too i loved bioshock and the 2 has a more short campaign but it was good and with all the delays i dont care anymore about infinite

This game will be amazing. I'm not sure if I'd want to buy it though but it's definitely worth playing through completely. This company makes some of the best games for story mode out there.
