Topic: Aliens Colonial Marines pushed to 2010

[joey791]

New info just emerged on this game at PAX and I know Joey is superpsyched for this one.

With Brothers in Arms addressed, Pitchford moved onto the studio's next missing project, Aliens: Colonial Marines. "On the Aliens front, one of the weird things, especially on days like today, we've been really successful with Borderlands and that's on everyone's mind. And today and yesterday and on Friday, Duke Nukem kind of took over. So people wonder, 'Are they even doing Aliens? What's going on there?'

"Here's the thing. This game is based on Aliens. It's a 20th Century Fox property and Sega is the publisher. So there's some fingers in this. We haven't really been able to be super free to be talk about everything we've been doing," Pitchford admitted.

But just because Sega hasn't been talking (or letting Gearbox talk!) doesn't mean it's not supportive of the project, Pitchford said. "Earlier this week, I was down in San Francisco and I had lunch with the head of Sega of America and he is committed to this. And we're going to make this awesome. I know it's been awhile since the announcement first happened that we're in for Aliens. I promise you it will not take as long as Duke Nukem Forever. We're not going to let this dream die, it's going to happen."

There is more on the article w/ Brothers in Arms talk, as well as Duke Nukem, and of course Borderlands.

Isn't there 2 games coming out?  A alien RPG and a FPS?

The game also changed publishers, so a delay was expected.  AVP is gonna suck anyway, so hopefully more time w/ this will equal a better game.  I really don't mind waiting as long as the final product is good since I have kinda high hopes for this one.
