Weekend Confirmed 111 - Elder Scrolls Online, Black Ops 2, God of War: Ascension
by Garnett Lee, May 04, 2012 11:00am PDTBlockbuster games headline this episode of Weekend Confirmed. Elder Scrolls Online, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and God of War: Ascension alone could more than fill the show but there's more. Mike Schramm of TUAW and Joystiq helps the two Jeffs and Garnett bring the awesome needed to keep up with it all. The discussion of role-playing games also includes the recently released pirate-themed Risen 2. Sniper Elite V2 and a couple other things also make their way into the crowded mix before Finishing Moves puts the final exclamation point on the show.

Bioshock Infinite is (well, was) one of my most anticipated games of the year. But it was slated for around October, and q4 this year looks INSANE. Never mind the games I'm interested in, there's also the [probable] release of the Wii U, and mega blockbusters like Black Ops 2 coming out.
All of those would have hurt Bioshock Infinite's chance to stand out and get the attention it deserves, not to mention my ability to take my time and enjoy everything Ken Levine and co have put together.
Publishers! Stop back-loading the calendar with major releases. This isn't the 1980s anymore. The majority of your customers are NOT children, and we don't need to wait for Christmas to get a new game. Spread out your releases and give your titles some damn breathing room.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'm not expecting good news.
