Bioshock Infinite Delayed

First it was announced back in 2010 that the game was scheduled for a February 2012 release, didn't happen. Then the game had a nice little announcement for an October 2012 release, not going to happen. Now the game instead will release on February 26th 2013.

Not only that, the game will also not appear at E3 or Gamescon this year, makes sense though since the game won 40+ rewards last year at those conventions. The reasoning behind this comes from a letter by Kevin himself:

A MESSAGE FROM KEN LEVINE

When we announced the release date of BioShock Infinite in March, we felt pretty good about the timing. 

Since then, we’ve come to realize that some specific tweaks and improvements will make Infinite into something even more extraordinary. Therefore, to give our talented team the time they need, we’ve decided to move the game’s release to February 26, 2013. We wanted to let our loyal (and very patient!) fans know this as soon as possible.

I won’t kid you: BioShock Infinite is a very big game, and we’re doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter. We had a similar experience with the original BioShock, which was delayed several months as our original ship date drew near. Why? Because the Big Daddies weren’t the Big Daddies you’ve since come to know and love. Because Andrew Ryan’s golf club didn’t have exactly the right swing. Because Rapture needed one more coat of grimy Art Deco.

The same principle now applies to BioShock Infinite.

What does this mean for you? It means a bit more waiting, but more importantly, it means an even better BioShock Infinite. The great can be made greater, and we owe it to both ourselves and to you, our fans, to take this opportunity. Irrational Games is one of those rare developers lucky enough to ask the people who sign the checks: “Hey, can we have a few more of those checks?”

We are also going to hold off on showing BioShock Infinite at the big events of the summer, like E3 and Gamescom. That way, the next time you see our game, it will be essentially the product we intend to put in the box. Preparing for these events takes time away from development, time we’re going to use instead to get the best version of Infinite into your hands in February.

Sad, but hopefully the wait will be worth it...

Soul Sacrifice gets a new teaser, looks more and more like a Dark Souls/Demon's Souls game

A new teaser showing tidbits of gameplay has surfaced, and it Definitely looks strangely familiar.

Sony could be launching a third soul entry in the franchise, still it is unclear if this is a game in the same series, what we do know is that it'll be a PS Vita exclusive. Check out the video below:

RUMOR: could Dead Space 3 be revealed at E3 this year?

EA has responded to Gameinformer and said said many big game announcements will be revealed such as Madden NFL, FIFA, Sim City, Medal of Honor, Need for Speed, and Deadspace for this years E3 press conference. Now, we're unclear if this will actually be Dead Space 3 or some other Extraction game. But a logo teaser was seen at Visceral's studio, and rumors have reported that the game would primarily take place on an ice planet (which now could've been a hint for Lost Planet 3). Either way, a new Dead Space game should be coming out before EA's deadline of March 2013, after that any Dead Space game would probably be helped by some other company.

Will this next Dead Space be the highly anticipated third game?

Crysis 3 official trailer revealed

Crysis 3 finally released the full 2 minute trailer today. Check it out:

Crysis 3 officially revealed by Crytek / information and teaser to trailer revealed

Crytek and EA officially revealed Crysis 3 a mere week ago. The game is to be released sometime in 2013 [no exact date was given] and will once again be released on both PC and consoles (PS3 and 360 specifically) just like the second one was.
From what we are told, the setting is in a Jungle [actual Jungle] infested New York City that has been demolished due to the events of Crysis 2, thus blending the Jungle setting of the first game and the city setting of the second together. You will once again play as Prophet [better known as Alcatraz, who replaced Laurence Barnes as the wearer of the Nanosuit. play Crysis 2 to learn more about this]. It is said the campaign would lurk into a "Revenge Mission" kinda game.

DLC bonus deals for pre-order have also been revealed such as Hunter and Predator pack among others. Here is a teaser trailer for a much larger trailer set to be released on April 24th:





The full video will be shown on this post when it comes out. But what are peoples thoughts about the third Crysis game being revealed this early? Are you excited?

NEWS: Crysis 3 basically confirmed by EA

Through an unexpected surprise, EA has "accidentally" released a Banner for Crysis 3 earlier on their digital store today. It is off now but the image has already spread across the web like wildfire:

EA already made a statement about this little reveal, stating that "the best kept secrets in shooters just simply can't be contained". They also assured us to expect more info on April 16th.

The first game was an excellent, and well beloved, sandbox shooter for the PC, the second one was a great and worthy sequel that expanded the story to unexpected lengths. We can expect the third to be just as good. So is anyone excited about this announcement? Does this make any newbies want to get into the Crysis franchise?
