Bioshock Early Release Confirmed?

It appears that BioShock has changed it's release date to today. There has no been any official conformation from Microsoft or Take Two and neither of their PR agencies are available for contact. However, many things are proving that this is true...

Below is a video in which (As the website states) the trailer that stated the release of the Bioshock demo is shortened and ends with a "Blink and you'll miss it", "Available Now" message instead of "Download The Demo Now"

Wonder how this affects the statement by the publisher yesterday that the PC demo would be out before the game is released?

predator6844d ago

i wonder if this will come across the pond to us in the uk

jay36844d ago

it's only out in a certan place in America...

So it's gay, but meh, maybe we can go on Wiki and find out the story early.

InMyOpinion6844d ago

Jay rhymes with gay ;)

Coincidence? Don't think so!

BlLL GATES6843d ago

c0cksucker.
Coincidence? I think not.

Syko6844d ago

Can anyone confirm this. I will go get it on my lunch break even though I wont get my Xbox back till Friday. I just want to have it ready to go so I can play it immediately upon receiving my 360.

Gamestop or Wal-Mart or where?! Must know... Any more info on this would be appreciated.

All the people are calling their local stores. Some people have said that they're stores have it. It seems every store has it, just finding a store that will give it to you is hard. You should bribe the cashier with Pokémon cards or something.

Syko6844d ago (Edited 6844d ago )

@jay3: LMAO, LET ME SHOW YOU MY POKEMANS!!! Now give me the Bioshock Bish!!

@Azurite: Yeah but changing the release date and finding a couple of stores breaking the street date are 2 TOTALLY different things. I want to know if by tommorow I can go to almost any store and get it. Or if it is only stores with incompetent people in charge releasing early. If they "Officialy" changed the release date it should be everywhere by tomorrow.

jay36844d ago

"Listen, dude, we don't have it!"

"Ok, ok, i get it, you won't give it to me...

But how about my little friend, Pikachu? Hmm?"

"Ugh!!! So! TEMPTING!"

That would be awesome.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis282d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno282d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan281d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum281d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989281d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot281d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77281d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb281d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG281d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast652d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai654d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken652d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop654d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake654d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne654d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo653d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
