Gearbox: "We're Working Hard" on Aliens

21
Gearbox Software has given a rare update on the status of Aliens: Colonial Marines, assuring fans that the shooter is still in development and promising "great things afoot".

Speaking in an interview with CVG, Gearbox supremo Randy Pitchford revealed that even he is finding it challenging to remain patient for the shooter.

"I know that there hasn't been much talk about what we're doing for awhile and that more details would be very juicy. Like so many people, I've been patient for years to finally be able to play this game and now that I'm actually involved in the creation of it I can tell you that it's extremely challenging to continue to be patient as it develops," he said.

Not all of them, Riddick was pretty good IMO and the first AvP was great too.

Also Gearbox has two other projects in the pipeline. One of them is a non Gearbox IP that is bigger than Aliens.

AvP 2 was also a very good game, and is one of my favorite multiplayer game. The're are still quite alot of people playing.

No, it isn't Goldeneye though the central character is more than a bit iconic.

Yeah, whatever Queerbox. I gave up on this game months ago, it's never going to get released.

I really hope this game is going to be worth the wait, the Aliens licence has so much potential.

Somehow though the massive delays and lack of regular info from the devs makes me think otherwise.

Fingers crossed but i'm certainly not gonna hold my breath on this one....

if that is indeed true then i'm very happy, a game should never be announced until either it is completed and 6 months from shipping as it will save much dissapointment when games are cancelled ala aliens rpg

I just hope it's as good or better than the footage shown at E3 by the other developer.

L4D with aliens IP hard to really mess it up imo. Just make sure the ping of the motion sensor is perfect.

11 - Please
Let this game have some depth, and have it's own magic. Gearbox has worked on enough FPS games to do the IP's justice. I'm just on the fence a bit because there are very few games that are good, and this is AvP is one of those properties that should be a dominant force in gaming. It has all the elements like a Halo, Half-life, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, etc.

Be a gamer...Not a hater

13 - Unfortunately, Newt survived.
Instead, Hudson and Vasquez buy it. In retrospect, they went out cool. Was kinda hoping Newt was gonna get the face hugger treatment just to keep her from belting out another glass shattering scream. 'Shhh!! You're gonna blow our cover dummy!'

*edit* @hermie: dammit. this was a reply to you. I blew it. That's what I get for wishing death upon helpless/ stranded/ malnourished/ orphaned little girls. Divine forum justice.
