BioShock Infinite Goes Gold, No More Delays

Posted on Tuesday, February 19 @ 13:02:11 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


After far too many delays, BioShock Infinite is complete and ready to be mass produced for eager gamers like you and me. Irrational Games announced the exciting news in a post on their blog, in which Ken Levine had the following to share:

Today, I’m happy to announce that the game has gone gold. What that means is that it has been approved by both Sony and Microsoft (and the PC Gods, natch) to be sent to the manufacturing guys to load up fleets of trucks with BioShock Infinite and be driven to a store near you on March 26th.

The total cost of the game was five years, 941 billion Klingon darseks (plus tip), 47 camels, a cranberry flan, and the blood, sweat, and tears of the Irrational Team.

Nobody has ever built a game quite like this. It’s a shooter, but a shooter that brings you to very uncomfortable and dangerous places. I can’t demand that you play the game; I can promise you, however, that once you have, it will be an experience you won’t soon forget.

If you haven't already done so, be sure to check out the game's latest trailer, titled "The Lamb of Columbia," right here.

BioShock Infinite launches on March 26th for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, and I don't know about you, but I'm practically bursting at the seams in anticipation. Do you think it will live up to the hype? Let us know in the comments below.

    Good lord...it's been a while for me too. The last game I cared enough about before launch to keep tabs on to hear of it was New Vegas. But, yeah, it's been a while since I've noticed a newspost to this effect. Irrational games really are a star of a game studio.

    I still want to know why a game that has spent over three years(probably more) being developed had to be delayed again. It doesn't make me feel as a good for a game when it gets pushed back after spending several years in development or getting pushed back several times. It makes me wonder just how much wrong there was with the game that they had to push it back.

    I have to disagree. Until you get into Duke Nukem territory, bumping a release date back just means improved quality.

    That is my opinion.

    Depending on their process it may be the case that some of what they had to do could only be done iteratively; they couldn't just work out high-level abstractions and go from there, but had to build it to a certain level and see it move and shake to get a sense of its value. Another possibility is that some ideas they had, to which they were heavily committed, took more effort to get where they wanted and if this is going to be more like what Bioshock was intended to be then there's no easy way to make that. Games with robust systems from which complex emergence can develop take a long time and a lot of testing to get right. There are fine balances to work out (unshackled, the STALKER AI for the Loner NPCs is smart enough to beat the game without player help) which cannot be abstracted. I'm genuinely hopeful that he'll get to do what he wanted to do. If he pulls it off he'll rescue 'emergent gameplay' from the trash heap into which he accidentally cast it back in 2008.

    The fact they care so much about pc players makes me love them more.

    AMD is giving away copies of Bioshock Infinite, the new Tombraider, and Crysis 3 with new cards. I damn near bought a new video card the other. I'm still considering it. Since I fully intend to buy two of those games it would result in a fairly large savings.
