The unexpected delay of BioShock 2 has been given a little more clarity this afternoon, as Take-Two Interactive held a conference call to discuss the news with analysts. Take-Two has clarified BioShock 2 will arrive in the first half of 2010, but provided no further specifics on when BioShock 2 would drop. Spring? Early summer? No idea just yet.
On the call, Take-Two executives categorized the delay of BioShock 2 as being related to development overall (they were called "development issues") and not related to a problem with development in a single platform or related to an individual gameplay feature.
The delay was necessary, argued Take-Two, because BioShock is considered an "extremely valuable franchise" and releasing BioShock 2 before it was ready would do "damage to brand equity and fan loyalty." A subpar BioShock 2 would hurt the "longterm value of the BioShock franchise," reiterating Take-Two's previous views that BioShock 2 is not the end of the BioShock games, but simply a stepping stone to others.
It's somewhat comforting to know there's one less game I'll need to play later this year, and hey, maybe in BioShock 2's place, I'll just have to play BioShock again. There are worst fates.

maybe they delayed it because they don't want to release it with all of the other games this year that are actually good and hurt there sales.

Ok by me, there is way to many good games coming out at the end of the year, and I dont have the money to buy them all. At least take two is taking their time and not just releasing a game that isn't all that it could have been.

It's good to see that the developers will be taking their time with BioShock 2 seeing that it will be one of the most anticipated sequels of this generation. Also it's one more great game for 2010.

part of me is glad they are perfecting it. The other half of me is extremely depressed by this news.

When did Blizzard (The King of False Hopes) Take over Take-Two Interactive. Granted there are a bunch of great games coming out this year, this one I was looking forward to the most.

I have a feeling it was probably for the best considering Modern Warfare 2 is the giant looming elephant on the release schedule waiting to crush any other video games within it's shadow.

Part of me agrees with the general sentiment of "take as long as you need to make it right".
The other part is doing and Episode 3 Vader "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o!"

Sounds good, there are too many games coming out this holiday season anyway, now people can save up.

This annoys me, I was really looking forward to this game this year. However, I would rather they take their time on this game and get it right. They have a lot to live up to.

This is absolutely one of the franchises I'm perfectly fine with them taking all the time they want/need.

Well, as long as they're perfecting it.
If it is released as sub-par, I'll be pissed.
