Nintenchris Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Yeah, seems crap to leave half of your audience without a game that is already available on another console, when you're going to give it them anyway. Indeed, my guess is lots of money has been thrown there way. Timed exclusive. Edited May 26, 2009 by Nintenchris
Daft Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Yay....timed exclusive.... Doesn't that break some kind of anti-competition laws?
flameboy Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 DELAYED http://www.destructoid.com/bioshock-2-release-delayed-until-fiscal-2010-update--139656.phtml Your holiday gaming line-up just got a bit less crowded -- Take-Two Interactive has announced that it's moved BioShock 2 from fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010. Read: probably next year. Unsurprisingly, the publisher cites the need to provided "additional development time for the title," as well as its revised outlet for the the remainder of fiscal 2009, due to lower-than-expected performance. "The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2," says Chief Executive Officer of Take-Two, Ben Feder. "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." It should be noted that "fiscal 2010" for Take-Two starts in November, so there's a chance we could see BioShock 2 by year's end. But you know... any other big plans for this holiday? [update: It's official -- BioShock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3, and Red Dead Redemption -- will all see release in the "first half of calendar 2010," according to Feder in this afternoon's Take-Two financial update conference call.]
Gizmo Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU No Bioshock or Mass Effect sequels this year ;-;
Jimbob Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU No Bioshock or Mass Effect sequels this year ;-; It gives me the time required to beat the original game now.
Gizmo Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Perhaps when I finish my 4th Mass Effect run through I will begin my 4th Bioshock run through.
Mundi Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Fuck. Well there are enough games this year that I want I guess...
Jimbob Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Fuck. Well there are enough games this year that I want I guess... I got all the games i require minus 2
jayseven Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I'm cool with it. Giving them another 6 months to develop the game can only be awsumm.
CoolFunkMan Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) The Cult of Rapture site have an "Artist's Series" going on at the moment, where each week they appear to be revealing a peice of Bioshock 2 related artwork done by famous artists/animators/designers/etc. This week is a peice by Jhonen Vasquez. Here's the article, and pic: http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/jhonen.html I love it, his twisted style works so well with Bioshock!! But then, I am a big fan of Jhonen Vasquez!

CoolFunkMan Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Sorry about the double post, but this topic needs a serious bump with this new announcement. Behold, the Special Edition of Bioshock 2... http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/bioshock2se.html It's comes with: - The game (natch ) - 3x Rapture themed posters (rolled) - Original Bioshock orchestral OST on vinyl - Bioshock 2 orchestral OST on CD - 164 page hardback artbook It's fucking beautiful! £70 for all three formats though, but I'm not complaining! Edited November 25, 2009 by CoolFunkMan
Jimbob Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Very nice. And it is also nice to see a decent collectors edition of a game as well.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Looks nice. I may consider it, £70 is alot of money though...
CoolFunkMan Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Actually, thinking about it, it's actually rather good value! After all a retailer would probably charge a lot for each item seperately. At a guesstimate they'd likely charge.. £5 per poster (3x = £15) £15 for the book £15 for the CD + Vinyl £40 for the game = £85 total And that's not including the packaging! So it works out pretty well, I think.

CoolFunkMan Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Is that the typical HMV prices for individual items?? Something like that, yeah. Although most retailers would probably charge that much.
Cube Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 It's tempting, but I probably wouldn't do anything with it all (except for the game, obviously). It all looks lovely, though.
CoolFunkMan Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 £5 per poster? There tiny! Okay, so maybe £3-4 per poster? Bearing in mind that I find that most retailers overcharge for posters, plus this Special Edition is limited to one run. It's tempting, but I probably wouldn't do anything with it all (except for the game, obviously). It all looks lovely, though. Same here, but I'm a big fan of the original, plus it has a ton of collector's value! It looks too fantastic to turn down!
Cube Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Just in case nobody knew, the release date is the 9th of February!.
LegoMan1031 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Aye, Mass Effect 2 and then this very shortly after! Good times. I have only seen the collectors edition version on play.com, all the other major sites don't have it, unless ive missed one of course!
ipaul Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Wow that special edition actually looks alright for once. Normally I can't stand special editions of games but that looks very nice. Like someone else said, I don't think it's such bad value for £70.
Jimbob Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Can't wait to be fair for the release of this. Shall put my pre-order down later.
