After a complaint submitted by consumers, the UK’s Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) has forced Sega of Europe to add a small disclaimer to their Aliens: Colonial Marines website and trailers, explaining that the trailer footage shown in all the videos uses the in-game engine, and represents a work in progress. You can read the full response from ASA below.
Gearbox took some of the money Sega gave them for ACM and put it towards Boarderlands 2 (Even though it wasn't needed) and spent less on developing ACM thats just a rumor (not sure if its true but I wouldn't be surprised if it was) and also the loss of money they were expecting from this game. Cutting there loses and trying to salvage anything from this mess thats stained there credit.
Oh, wait...they already have.
*throws more wood on the fire, under Pitchfork's specky arse*
Randy actually said that the footage in the demo was ACTUAL gameplay footage.
So the "in-game footage" from all the cons, trailers, and in-game previews... is all... AND SUDDENLY. IT'S NOT ACTUALLY IN-GAME FOOTAGE. JK.
...i feel lead on...
plus, they say this after the game has been released? I feel like they are runnin' scared.

"Barnhammer 40k presents... Space Chicks!"?
On topic:
It's a tad late for excuses, I mean come on, two months after the game is out and people (unfortunately for them) spent their cash and bought it does Sega actually confirm and apologizes for what the demos show? Seriously, how oblivious can they get?
It's things like these that make me lose faith in the big-shot developers and publishers, the former for the half-done product and the latter for the over-hyped promotion. Worser still is the pricing for the game and (sigh) the DLC.
...I miss the good ol' days when I'd buy a game for my MegaDrive, play it, feel satisfied by the completeness of the game, and play it again...nowadays all we get is incomplete games with DLC that should've been included in said game from the start.
Deep Fear
Have you ever played DEEP FEAR? I played RE2 on PC later on and never came close to the atmosphere of this SEGA game! Even though in RE2 we could play two characters! BY the way, DEEP FEAR is in a complex underwater, like ABYSS!
Wrong.
Amazing no brilliant on the other hand fits it perfectly.
Or just remake a multiplayer version of the game only and add more features and less errors and crashes.
They need to restart, make the game that they said they were gonna make 6 years ago, and release it for free.
As a comparison AvP 2010 moved nearly 2.2m.
It's very unlikely the game has made back it's projected development + marketing costs.
Seconded.

LOL yeah right. Resident Evil 2 is an amazing game.
What game was this?
SO, long story, short, too little, tooo late! NOw, will we wait for another month for Gearbox to apologise, if they'll ever do it?!
These companies need to get heat from consummers, otherwise, we willbe fed this kind of crap over and over! I know for sure that Gearbox will never see a penny from me! And if I ever come across a game from them that does not suck, I will wait till it is for free in some Gaming mag! BUt I am still waiting for them to get their asses SOOOO sued they'll go bankrupt! It matters not that they did a game or two that people like! IT is the principle of false advertising, embezzling funds, redirec funds given to them to make a game to fund their own games! That is criminal! They did it with Duke Nukem Forever and Borderlands, both reported to having been funded with SEGA's money! That is truly a serious acusation that SEGA ought to get to the bottom of!
Having said that though, this would never have happened if SEGA was on top of things in the first place! SO, ultimately, it all comes back and bites them in their negligent arses!
Still, I hope Randy Pitch-a-fraud and entourage get what they deserve! Period!
Starting to catch up with 'em in places.
