Granted that was a bad title but we’ve had worse. Still today Take Two Games have announced that the highly anticipated Bioshock 2 is being pushed back for a 2010 release. Technically they announced that it would be a fiscal 2010 release which means after November 1st but effectively this condemns the game for a 2010 calendar release.
Ben Feder, Take-Two CEO had this to say on the matter
The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2. We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve. As a result, we will now be launching sequels to several of our strongest franchises – including BioShock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption – during the next fiscal year. These titles will anchor our lineup for fiscal 2010, and along with other products planned for next year, provide a platform for enhanced financial performance in what we hope will be an improved retail environment.
I can understand the people bemoaning Take-Two on this one but at the end of the day it means they have been given more time to work on the game. Resulting in a much better game and we all want to see Bioshock 2 be every bit as good as the original.
