The only game I was looking forward to this year. :'(

 

[-BLITZ-]

But I just espaced from February and now I just got up with an entire year with no Bioshock and then again february.

Not this again, not winter time, who can play Bioshock in winter ? Oh, man I wanted so much at the end of this summer. Everything is ruined.

 

[Vire]

RE6, Borderlands 2, Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3, Forza Horizon? I'm sure I miss some other interesting games as well...Fall is looking great but having Bioshock Infinite being delayed doesn't suck less IMO.

RE6 - Splitting the campaign into three different sections sounds incredibly dumb to me. I'm not exactly looking forward to an "action packed" Chris Redfield portion...

Borderlands 2 - Nothing from this game has wowed me. It just looks like more of the same, which is fine I guess but I'll wait for the bargain bin clearance.

Tomb Raider - Never had much love for this series.

Far Cry 3 - Again, don't really like this series. Boring art direction and storyline.

Forza Horizon - We have literally next to no information about this game so it's hard for me to get excited.


So.... yeah. :/

 

[DSN2K]

interesting...maybe WiiU will get it at the same time.

 

[Orcastar]

Well that sucks.

 

[Otacon]

Ehhmmm no. I was also happy when GTA IV was delayed to the next year. It's a wise choice to delay and polish the game some more. So much more potential sales when the shelves aren't stocked with other AAA-games. RE6 and ACIII are really strong brands. Not saying that Bioshock isn't but I'm guessing most people will choose RE or AC instead of Bioshock if they could only pick 1 game. Just look at how good Operation Raccoon City sold :/

I have no problem with Bioshock releasing in 2013, same goes for GTA V. It's just that - at least for me - there is not that much else to look forward to in 2012.
Maybe my taste just changed that much that I don't care for the majority of games/sequels coming out, but my October is definitely not crowded this year, though I wish it was.
With E³ around the corner there's still a chance we either get some new games announced or at least release dates for the few games I'm interested in (Tomb Raider, Dishonored, The Last of Us)
I'm hoping for a Lords of the Shadow 2 E³ unveiling with a fall launch but that might be too optimistic.

 

[Keyser Soze]

What the Sci-Fi game about gravity? I think Square is involved?

That seem interesting, I will get excited about that instead!

 

[Curufinwe]

I guess my PS Move will gather dust a little while longer.

House of the Dead 4 is fun with the Move, but it's rather short unless you plan to try and get all the endings and trophies.

 

[Hammer24]

Soooo.... Durango launch title?

 

[Apocryphon]

Not sure why people are surprised. Neither of the first 2 games shipped on time either.

 

[Apdiddy]

Man this reeks of Take-Two coming down hard on Irrational to include multiplayer.

Fuck this earth.

I agree with this.

BioShock Infinite was the only other game I was going to get day 1 this year. The rest of the games coming out (even Diablo III, Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2, RE6, Halo 4, etc.) I was going to wait on.

Not every game needs multiplayer to be a great game. Apparently, every publisher thinks that multiplayer is necessary now to have a 'successful launch.'

EDIT: This isn't to say that the delay this time is solely due to multiplayer. Still, an early 2013 release date is either very smart or very much 'sent to die.'

 

[zroid]

Oh well, will give me more time to round up the cash. I probably couldn't have day one'd it in 2012.

Wii U purchase will siphon my funds.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Don't care personally. Holiday period is clogged as it is (BO II, Halo 4, AC III, ...). Games need to be spread throughout the year.

 

[Tadale]

Very disappointing delay. Biggest game I was looking forward to this year.

 

[theCHENRY]

Better late than never. My jimmies remain unrustled.

 

[Corto]

Soooo.... Durango launch title?

Are you crazy? I can't wait until 2014!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Aww dammit. Delay something else, not Bioshock. Damn.

 

[Conrad Link]

Bah!

Still plenty to keep me busy, but I was really looking forward to it.

Wii U, Borderlands 2 and RE6 better be awesome cause they're the main events.

 

[The Librarian]

Man this reeks of Take-Two coming down hard on Irrational to include multiplayer.

Fuck this earth.

Chill out. If you don't like it then don't play it. As long as the development of multiplayer didn't harm the singleplayer, I see no reason to get angry.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THAT WAS 2012's GOTY!

What shooter am I supposed to look up to now? Everything is 2013

Halo 4.

 

[MoeB]

Back at Irrational Games...

 

[Vire]

Chill out. If you don't like it then don't play it. As long as the development of multiplayer didn't harm the singleplayer, I see no reason to get angry.


Halo 4.

It's not about harming the singleplayer, it's the fact the game was (potentially) delayed over 6 months to include something I'll never play and have no interest in.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Halo 4 and Ass Creed 3 would've hurt its sales anyway.

 

[Hammer24]

Are you crazy? I can't wait until 2014!

I doubt it´ll be later than September 2013.
The Durango, that is, not BS:I...

 

[Blastoise]

Got damnit Shawn Elliott!

 

[truly101]

So 2012 GOTY is now wide ass open.

 

[AngryMoth]

Fucks sake. So little I'm looking forward to this year

 

[Conrad Link]

Oh well more time for Black Ops II!

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Infinite is the new Forever.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

As sad as it is to be delayed, Feb 26th is my birthday so i cant complain too much

 

[Corto]

Infinite is the new Forever.

Better than never though.

 

[pseudomyxoma]

Pre-ordered this June 2011. :/

Futureshop e3 sale? That's when I pre-ordered it

So I guess RE6 and that is all for me this fall

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Oh well more time for Black Ops II!

 

[Daft_Cat]

Infinite is my most anticipated game in years, so this sucks. I think they announced it too early.

Oh well. Unless GTAV comes out, looks like my consoles won't be getting much use this fall.

The other AAA games (Halo 4 and AC3) aren't exactly what I'd call day one buys.

 

[deadlast]

This is a very good thing.
Now I don't have to choose between this game and some other game.

 

[Malajax]

I'm looking forward to this more for the free copy of Bioshock that comes with the PS3 version of Bioshock Infinite. Having to wait longer to play both makes me sad

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

I'm OK with this. Fall is always way too crowded. If this gives them a better chance at the title being a huge success, so much the better.

 

[Floex]

2012 retail titles are so lacklustre this year. After the incredible wave of titles last year, I knew this year couldn't compete. Don't get me wrong, downloads have been where its at this year, really fantastic and I hope there is more to come in that department but I really can't get excited for hardly any title coming up. Next gen and new IP can't come soon enough

 

[SomeDude]

nm

 

[Zia]

Only big holiday game I cared about.

Edit: Actually, the only retail game I cared about that wasn't Blizzard, Valve (ha, yeah right) or The Last Guardian.

 

[Hot Coldman]

No Prey 2, no Bioshock Infinite... 2012 just got bad.

 

[Truant]

No Prey 2, no Bioshock Infinite... 2012 just got bad.

brah we got halo 4 and blops 2 what more you need, broseph

 

[zlatko]

I hope they are ready to compete against Final Fantasy Versus 13 that month for sales.

 

[TheOddOne]

 

[MrPliskin]

Eh, so long as the extra time keeps a dozen fetch quests out of the last 1/3rd of the game, I'll Be good.

 

[PuppetSlave]

Maybe you guys just need to replay Bioshock 2, then the wait won't seem so bad.

 

[ced]

Goddamnit I hate delays, I know it's for the better but still. Here is an idea: don't set a release date until your close to it and it's accurate.

 

[pargonta]

Maybe you guys just need to replay Bioshock 2, then the wait won't seem so bad.

This is Ken Levine's follow-up to Bioshock, infinite is Bioshock 2.

this delay is extremely depressing news to wake up to...

optimism... it's for a Wii U port
pessimism... it's for Move/Kinect/multiplayer support.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I really hope this doesn't mean they delayed it to add in multiplayer.

Eh, you too huh?

No Prey 2, no Bioshock Infinite... 2012 just got bad.

^

Honestly, I've got like 10 other games I'm looking forward to, but those two being absent means I might actually be able to get through some of my backlog this year.

 

[Takamura-San]

Always appropriate.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Released on my birthday.

This is the only shooter I want in the near future. I hope it's good.
