Gold - BioShock

[Aug 09, 2007, 10:27 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

There's a Q&A with Ken Levine on Level Up discussing BioShock and its recent Game Critics' award for /beta action/adventure game at E3. Included in the conversation is the off-hand revelation that Irrational's eagerly anticipated first-person shooter is gold. Though there are no further details, the game's release date as established as August 21 several months ago (story). This news is hashed out a bit in the 2K Forums (thanks L.T.). In lieu of an official gold announcement, here's Ken's description of how they are celebrating this milestone:

We just had a team party in Boston, and then we have a event on the launch night on August 20th, which we’re inviting lots of people to, including members of the BioShock fan community. I'm actually looking forward to that, because launches are usually such abstract things. You wake up launch morning and it’s like, "Hey, our game has, umm, shipped to retail!" It’s not exactly like headlining at Madison Square Garden.

The starship Von Braun single handedly made SS2 one of my favorite games. I could not have said it better myself. I also agree with the doom3 comments.. Even litte things like the nanites used to make a copy of yourself so you can respawn in the game was well thought. I could go on for hours talking all the details that made SS2 the best single player game ever made. Sad but to this date nothing compares or comes close to SS2 but that's just my opinion. I hade high hopes for this game but with time it just became something to keep me busy until the other AAA titles come out this fall.
