Delaying games and calling them shooters is good

BioShock lead programmer Chris Kline said at his Paris GDC session that calling Bioshock a shooter is what has made it a success, along with the fact that the game was postponed several times.

Following the demo, though, he said that while it was getting critical acclaim, it wasn't actually gaining much interest from users, so they changed marketing to say that it was a shooter – and then found they had to prove it.

“What’s interesting is that even though it was the same game," Kline said, "when we presented it as a shooter people started getting more excited about it. Even the team.”
His comment regarding delays is very clear:

“Some people think that constantly messing up, and pushing dates isn’t a good way to make a game, but as far as I’m concerned it’s the only way to make a good game.”
