Aliens: Colonial Marines

Aliens Colonial Marines announced too early · 10-13-2010, 06:37 AM

Our beloved Aliens Colonial Marines game may have had to take a back seat due to a resurgent Duke Nukem Forever, but Randy had this to say about Aliens Colonial Marines:

Pitchford: It’s looking great! We’ve been radio silent but we’re very excited. It’s funny you should mention it because if you go back and look at Duke Nukem 3D, we included facehuggers and there’s Aliens stuff up on the walls. I’ve been stealing from Aliens my entire career so it feels great to finally be involved in the canon.

Truthfully, the game was announced to early – the ink wasn’t dry on the contract and we hadn’t even written the first line of code, but we’re really committed and so is SEGA, and I’m sure that pretty soon we’ll be in a position to start talking again.

Let's hope it doesn't take too long.

Pitchford later said that "It won’t be long before we break radio silence and we’re able to show it,”, so we are getting close to being able to get some good news on the game! There is light at the end of this tunnel!!!!

I'd rather have this silence and know they're working on it, then have them try to rush it out and risk releasing the game with bugs and half finished features.

Take your time, Gearbox. But toss us a bone now and then. Start a monthly podcast or something!

well they have been silent for about 2 years now, so I think they have got a lot of bugs out of the system! Plus it will be released in 2011, so they have a year to polish it up!
