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...

PS Vita goes white, Crystal white to be exact

The Vita had a really bad start with sales, even worse than the 3DS, but now sales are just barely starting to increase. But it turns out that Sony is going white... Crystal white.

Check out the next Crystal White Playstation Vita, it is coming out in Japan on June 28th for a reasonable price. There's still no word on whether this will go stateside, but the system is still region free and people will more than likely demand it, plus this would be a great way to further campaign the new-gen system along with what the 3DS is doing.

Would you like a white colored Vita? Or is the original black good enough?

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?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 major world premiere today... Oh... My ... Crap!

Yes the rumors were true as the earth does spin, Call of Duty's next game is in fact Black Ops 2. But Treyarch's next game is a bit different from the first one that took place in the 1960's cold war, because this sequel takes place in 2025.

Yep, 2025, a huge leap for both Treyarch and Activision. While the game is obviously not a direct sequel, character Frank Woods from the first game does return as a really old war veteran. He actually narrates the video below. Apparently machine turns against man in this one, an overused plot, but still that a minor reveal from very small info.

Here is the vid:

So do you think this will truly be the uprising that Activision needs to bring something new other then the copy/paste stuff from the last four years? Or will this just be another clone? Also, will there be freaking Zombies in this one? Please let there be at least Zombies...
