BioShock Infinite Is in Trouble, Loses Key Developers

I've heard they're still doing changes to it this far in. I wouldn't be surprised if the ship date sailed by.

This piece of news should at least be UPDATED. I think it was yesterday that Levine DID tweet that the position of Art director was already filled by Scott Sinclair, the Art director for the original Bioshock... https://twitter.com/IGLevine/status/233292727876460544

I think on the whole this should not mean delays or major problems in the developing process....

Eh, not much in the way of news, if the game is scheduled for a Feb 2013 release, it should be in lockdown at this point or close to it. Polish and bug fixing til Nov/Dec, then console certification, and expect a gold announcement end of January. Probably some DLC content creation in this stage too.

Losing those two roles isn't that big an impact, as art direction is already set and done at this point, as is development. Chances are they took the opportunity to leave at this point when the workload has lessened.

Couldn't agree more. Even if there are changes to be made to the art at this point, they'd be minor. Nothing that any of the experienced team members who spent the last two years working on this title couldn't handle.

Writing an article that's all doom and gloom Bioshock: Infinite being in some sort of imaginary trouble is silly and unprofessional based on what little actual information we have here.

The more I hear about Infinite the more I become wary and skeptical. At first I was all pumped, but when I realized that they were going to recycle Rapture IN THE SKY! They're supposedly shifting the political criticism, but I wonder now...

Now it's had one or two delays, and now head directors are jumping ship? Yeah, the more I find the less enthused for the game I become. :\

So this thread definetely needs some UPDADITNG...

Oh well I doubt the art director had much to do anyway with the game only a few months away from release and the art direction was already set in stone.
