BioShock 2 Delayed EPIC FAIL

Bad bad news today on the BioShock home front. As we found out from Shacknews, BioShock 2 will be pushed back until sometime in the 1st 6 months of 2010.



"[BioShock 2's delay is] not related to any specific platform or any specific element of it," the company later said of the forthcoming PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game. "Generally there are some development issues that we need to deal with."

Read on to see the press release from Take Two..

Take-Two today announced that BioShock 2 has been delayed to a new release date in its 2010 fiscal year.

While the game's original release date of November 3 technically fits into the beginning of the year--which begins on November 1, 2009--the company implied a further delay to an unspecified date.

"We concluded that moving the release of BioShock 2 into fiscal year 2010 was the right decision for the product," said Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick. "We believe the result will be a more compelling consumer experience and a better performing product in the marketplace."

"The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2," added Take-Two CEO Ben Feder. "We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve"

WEEEEAAAAAAK!!!! I finally found my old disc of Bioshock, and installed it 2 days ago, so I could get back in the mood to play the sequel. It sucks, but maybe it'll actually play better when it's released.

As long as they're using the extra time to fine tune the game, then I don't see what's so wrong with the delay. BUT, if they are just waiting to release it next year to improve 2010's sales numbers instead of wrapping up 2009 with a bang...then THAT sucks!

People would complain if they rushed the game out without working on it to make it the best possible game...and then Bloody Disgusting complains when they push it back to work on the game further. You guys really will complain about anything, won't you?

I can wait. I havent finished the first one. Id much rather have them take the time to make it good. Bioshock was intricate. The sequel seemed rushed, didn't it? With nothing really spectacular catching my eye - I havent been grabbed by the whole "playing the big machine" thing. Halo 2 failed for me when you played the alien, you know? Too far out of the element. I dont want to play the enemies. Ill wait.

I'm more disappointed I wont get to play it sooner. But then again there are people like you who read way too much into things, and complain about everything. Boo hoo.

I played the demo for the first one and I have to buy it so the delay is good for me because it gives me time to enjoy the first :]

Damn you still don't have the original? 2007 was epic for that game. Well, it's definitely worth it and I'm glad they're delaying 2 so it can be just as good as 1. There's plenty of good games for this year anyways and it didn't seem all that spectacular. So this is a good thing. Heres to a good sequel.
