A lot of news happened last week for BioShock Infinite, from the delay of the game to March 26 to Andrew's preview on how impressed he was with the game. If you missed the 2012 VGAs on Friday night, then you also missed a new trailer for the game.
Andrew got about two hours in with BioShock Infinite and came away impressed with the gameplay. If you're worried Infinite's PC version won't live up to the consoles, don't fret. It appears developer Irrational Games is included all sorts of adjustable sliders and such for you to tinker with.
Today's episode of Weekend Confirmed brings together Garnett Lee, Jeff Cannata, Jeff Mattas, and special guest Nikole Zivalich, and naturally, many videogames are discussed. Cannata delivers some early (and glowing) impressions of the first couple of hours of Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3 gets some more time in the spotlight, and the first console MOBA, Guardians of Middle-earth, gets a bit of scrutiny. Before Finishing Moves and the post-show TailGate, the crew also chats about how best to handle Weekend Confirmed's Game of the Year awards. If you've got some feedback, a preference, or some ideas about how you think it should be handled, make yourself heard in the show comments.
BioShock Infinite stunned game critics at E3 2011. The demo introduced us to an imaginative world, where a giant robot bird chases a magical girl through floating islands connected via magnetic sky rails. Set in an alternative 1900s America, Irrational Games' latest certainly showed no shortage of creativity. It had won our hearts.
And then it disappeared. And then came troubling news that key members of the team had departed. Suddenly, there were doubts if the year-old vertical slice we had seen could be sustained through a full game. Given the number of disparate elements--from vigors to tears to sky-lines to Elizabeth and more--could BioShock Infinite even feel cohesive?
In one scene in BioShock Infinite, Elizabeth runs up to an arcade machine, one she's been patiently waiting for. Apparently this long-in-development game was delayed three times, undoubtedly an "in" reference to Infinite's own lengthy production.
So color us unsurprised when creative director Ken Levine announced that BioShock Infinite would be delayed yet again. The new date is exactly one month after the original ship date: March 26th.
As potentially cool as it could be to use the BioShock's assortment of crazy powers in a deathmatch, BioShock 2's attempt at multiplayer was largely ignored. BioShock Infinite creator Ken Levine has confirmed the game has no multiplayer, debunking a long-running rumor.
One of the pre-order bonuses for the upcoming BioShock Infinite is a mini-game called BioShock Infinite: Industrial Revolution. This side story will offer unlockable items for Infinite and will also serve as a prequel, set 12 years before the events of Infinite. It's made by indie developers Lazy 8 Studios, who some may recognize as the creators of Cogs. We found out more about this effort by speaking with Lazy 8's founder, Rob Jagnow.
As promised, Irrational Games has unleashed a new trailer for its upcoming BioShock Infinite, which takes the series from its previous underwater home of Rapture and sets it skyward to a huge city in the sky called Columbia.
If you fancy some new trinkets for your video game doodads shelf, the two special editions of BioShock Infinite might be right up your alley. Announced today, they offer such lovelies as a keychain replica of one of Infinite's vigor bottles, a lithograph poster, and, for the really rich, a 9-and-a-half-inch statue of the dreaded Songbird enemy.

Since its self-imposed media blackout, BioShock Infinite developer Irrational Games has seen a number of staff leave. The trend continues with two more departures revealed.
Another rambunctious round of Weekend Confirmed has arrived! Garnett and "Indie Jeff" Mattas are joined by G4's Nikole Zivalich, and co-host Jeff Cannata rolls in a bit late to help close out the show's second half. This week's hot topics this week include the shake up at Bioshock Infinite developer Irrational Games, some talk about the Elder Scrolls V expansion, Dawnguard, and Garnett professes his appreciation for the unique music maker, PixelJunk 4am. Other topics--from iOS games to Sound Shapes--are tackled, before the cast's Finishing Moves wrap things up.
Amid reports of departing staff and disappearing features for the delayed BioShock Infinite, former Epic Game production director Rod Fergusson has announced that he is joining Irrational Games as its VP of development.
More troubling news for BioShock Infinite. After reports of key departures from the studio, another report has surfaced, claiming that the long-rumored multiplayer modes for the game have been axed.
Two co-op modes have been reportedly cut, including a tower-defense mode that "never worked." Players would be placed into an arcade machine, where they would fight against waves of enemy toys. The second co-op mode was internally called "Spec-Ops," as it was similar to the co-op modes from the most recent Modern Warfare games. As in Call of Duty, players would work together in missions inspired by the single player campaign.
BioShock Infinite has had its share of hiccups during development, forcing its release date back to 2013. But now, two key members of the development team have left Irrational Games, possibly throwing the game into even more uncertainty.
Gamers have been waiting a long time since Ken Levine and company unveiled BioShock Infinite. And the wait is only getting longer, with the game now delayed to 2013. Could a new multiplayer mode be behind the lengthy delay? Then, the creators of Ratchet & Clank and Resistance spread their wings to social games. Outernauts is a new effort from Insomniac... but why does it sound so familiar? Finally, the classic FPS Wolfenstein celebrates its birthday by going completely free to play.
Check out today's episode of Shacknews Daily.
