take2 delays bioshock 2 and others

Take 2 Interactive, developers of several high-profile game titles slated for release in the next year, have announced that they are delaying some of their more highly anticipated game releases in order to ensure quality in the finished product. The titles that will be delayed are all franchise sequels: BioShock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption. The company feels that the titles will benefit from more development and a less competitive release quarter than the upcoming holiday season:
Take-Two CEO Ben Feder also said during the conference that the development delay was not console specific, and that he believes the game will benefit (financially) from being released outside of the crowded Christmas schedule.
