Sigh...I was looking forward to playing this game later this year. Hope this delay is worth it. Good call on the E3 stuff though. Pity we won't get to see it, but the reasoning behind that choice is pretty, well, reasonable.
BioShock Infinite Launch Date Moved to 2013

Pretty much this. It's a shame about the delay but I'd rather have them give the game a proper polish as to rushing it out with any major glitches in it. Oh well, the backlog of games and books I have should keep me busy till then.Legion said:
Well I'm a little sad about this, that's for sure. But if this process worked for Bioshock (which evidently it did because Bioshock was AWESOME) then I'm all in favour.
At least Irrational Games let's us know what's going on with the game. You know, communication, unlike ahem...

Not casting any aspersions on the impeccable writing staff at The Escapist but I think that source isn't so reliable for how it claimed we'd get a playable demo way back in 2010 and it did say "isn't expected to be released until" which isn't "it WILL be released in 2012". You could almost interpret that as "not before 2012". It wasn't in quotes, I think the journalist just got the impression it wouldn't be released in 2011 and assumed 2012.IamQ said:
Either way, if they gave the release window 2 years ago or 2 months ago, I know how complex projects like this often need extra time. You are bringing together so many complex elements and very often huge parts of it have to be scrapped and started again. I thinks this is the sign of a good game that they take this time.
Well that's it. It's going to suck. I can't think of a game in modern memory that has had it's date announced, been pushed back, came out and was any good. L.A. Noir got pushed like that, Alpha Protocol got pushed like that. I was just getting over the fact that Irrational only had a one-trick pony as of late with the whole "Dystopic City of Wonder" schtick.
Angry? Yes... but if this delay is needed to perfect the game and make it better, then i can hold it, and get even more excited. 
Dissapointing, but if it takes a few extra months to get it perfect, so be it. I'm very excited to say the least. It looks like a great game.
If you dont want day one DLC or patches because a game feels unfinished this is what you asked for. So no complaining from you people! Even if you havnt posted yet. You know who you are
Better this that an incomplete game. Art takes time. Cant hurry something good.

Ken Levine actually mentioned BioShock Infinite as an ideal candidate for Wii U in Nintendo's sizzle reel at last year's E3.
I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with a Wii U version of the game.

That's expectations, not exactly a possible date. It just says a possible year, and that isn't even directly from the publisher. a release date is an actual date, given by the publisher, expecting that will be the release time. It is generally signaled in a standard format, either month/year or month/day/year. Just typing year is an estimation.IamQ said:
Sigh. This was one of the few games that I was actually looking to purchase on day 1. Ohwell, I still have Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Assassin's Creed 3 coming out this october
On one hand, it's great that they're taking the time to make this game great, rather than trying to rush it out for the holiday season.
On the other hand, if this game isn't something equal to, say, Skyrim, there's gonna be a lot of disappointment. Infinite's definitely putting on a lot of hype here.
