According to the official website, Aliens Colonial Marines, originally scheduled for Spring 2012 has now been moved to Fall/Autumn 2012. We are currently awaiting official comment from Gearbox and Sega on the subject.
We will be having a Q&A session with Gearbox Software about the game very soon. If you haven’t submitted your questions yet, this is your chance.
Update: The date has been changed back to Spring 2012 on the official website. You can see the original ‘Autumn’ update from Sega in this screen capture. No official comment has arrived yet.
Update 2: Gearbox has just announced the existence of an upcoming trailer. It will be released tomorrow at IGN.com. You can find a screenshot from the trailer below:
Update 3: Gearbox and Sega have finally confirmed the delay in an official statement. You can read it here.
personally, i think this announcement reeks of PR spin for "it`s SO broken that we just wouldn`t get away with it... so we`ll wait until it`s at least passable(and will make some money back)"
.... and THEN they`ll rush it out and immediately drop support for it"
I hope Aleins colonial marines to be released in 2012
YES.
SEGA rep saying SEGA game going to be awesome = lol.

f**kin-A. But, that does make the delay hurt even less.

I don't think I'll be able to make it, can they push it a bit further?

Maybe Bioshock Infinite or something, assuming that comes out first, we know a lot more about it.
That's not going to happen as 2K doesn't want to support a game from another publisher...
Now that would be sweet!
I'd still suspect that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game would be better and more impressive, tho.
If that's true then that's good for me since I'm planning on buying one and now I have a game to look forward to when I get it. Also this is probably the only game aside from RE 6 that I'm really excited for during the autumn time frame.
! I hope they do a awesome/perfect game in my point of view, that will be the only way i get this game in "the good way".
If the end result is a better product, I'm all for waiting; but don't string me along just to keep interest high, because that's bad business - and now I have to spend MORE $$$ to upgrade my computer in the autumn. I wish these guys knew how hard it was to afford things like this when you have child support to pay, and college savings accounts to fill. In fact, I think they need to pay me a bit of interest and royalties on this product; I've been INTERESTED for 25 years, and I've been a loyal fan of Gearbox's, and who's products I've recommended to friends many times over the years.
cos i is gangsta for a 50 year old

I'd be interested to know if the multiplayer plays similarly to Left 4 Dead versus mode, where the opposing side play as aliens trying to stop the marines from reaching their goal/destination.
Also, will the game be heavily scripted with monster closets or more randomly generating like AVP1 on the PC. Personally I like a more flexible approach, where a hive will be constantly pumping out aliens and marines will have constantly to be on the move and conserve ammo. Staying put= certain death eventually.
Thanks Gearbox, I wish you strength to work hard on the game! It will pay off.
Im just standing with 2 feet on the ground and i dont get my hopes up...so if the game gonna nothing more than just an avp im not gonna stress but if it will be a lil bit cool i will be suprised and happy. But its my choice
Good, good
Too much waiting too much hype! Thats why this game gonna sucks big time! It will not come up to our expectations! Waiting 7 years for a game much more like the latest AVP...it will be nothing more im afraid but this waiting makes us belive that "whooohooo they are just want to make it perfect", yay...no, its just a shooter, im afraid it wll not have a great story, not have great characters, only graphics, gore and MAYBE excitment but honestly after horror games like silent hilll and after live action games like modern warfare....what the F are they doing with this because stuff like these in ACM WILL NOT BE INCLUDED. Its just a nice shooter.

Anyway, I'm equally bummed and happy about the delay. On the one hand, I want to play it NOW. On the other hand, I was worried about the game being a total flop since there's been no real promotion thus far. If they use this time to improve the game AND make the general public aware of it, then we might have a great game to look forward to, as opposed to a mess.
Personally, I don't think that AVP2010 was a bad game. But I'd like to see ACM do even better, commercially and critically.
