There’s an interesting article on G4TV about Aliens Colonial Marines’ release date. This is sorta obvious but Sega have openly said that its release date is dependent on how Aliens vs Predator does at retail.
“I think the detail of that [release date] is probably still too early,” said Hayes. “What I would say is it’s unlikely that we’d launch anything within six months [after Aliens vs. Predator], but probably nine months, eight to 12 months possibly. Though we literally are looking at that at the moment and a lot of is going to depend, as well, on how successful AvP is at the box [retail].”
Thanks to ikarop for the news.

Why? :'(
Relax, as long as AVP is a good game it will be entertaining you for years, before you know it ACM will right around the corner. It's all good ;D
You're assuming avp is a "good game." A little early to start celebrating.
You would think if AvP was to sell well, then they would want to maximise profits from that game, before releasing another alien title. Anyways, it doesn’t convince me to buy AvP. It just don’t look too quality in my opinion… I want something fresh that hasn’t been done before. Like ACM or the canned RPG.
Nothing really excites me about ACM. 4 player co-op REALLY haven't seen that in any games. :P
Who need's A:CM? AvP ROCKS!!!
I think it is a sort of blackmailing. "If you don't buy AvP, you won't get A:CM". Then again I may be a bit paranoid... ;)
Guys, DO NOT buy the avp game, so we can get earlier the aliens game ;)
I can wait. AvP will will keep my attention for awhile
Its it opposite ? If AvP fails CM will be pushed back.
@ Turn&shoot: and if that happens, we can kiss the RPG goodbye!!
ACM is way more interesting. I sick of these fast action FPS games. Im dying for this more realistic team based shooter. Its going to be way more terrifying and actually have suspense. Very disappointing news. I actually hope this delay puts good development time.
AvP new game ,is correcte line ,to IGN gave game least -8/10 or , worst , 7/10. :-\ I´m reli hope thei not kill Aliens CM for 3 time. But games are good, but for some people ,the games are just boring ,and the crictices some times thie not nice in thie review.Most times thie just said games are bad if before thier release game in shops. Now have somes question. 1º-In script William Gibson alien 3 , the human to alien, change/ transformed , is like creatures in Resident Evil game or is like the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers? 2º- The Alien Newborn have 2 designs in 2 scripts A:R, the the alien/spider vampire and humanoid, but hear in scripts from Eric Red and David Twohy , thie have on Newbors.Are thier designs diferent or is same ? 3º- Predators have some inspirantion in 1º game from Unreal?Because The Skaarj have the same atitudes the Predators have in script.(the slaves ,genectic crossover and cybernetic implants and torture thing and cooperation in the human /alien weapon ...)
This seems a bit pointless, since some people might prefer CM to AvP, but I don't see why AvP won't sell well enough for it to matter.
AVP will do well....alot of people will buy it because it sounds and looks like a good game. It probaly will be a good game by the looks of it....and its something to keep you ocupied before ACM.
I wonder what kind of success AVP needs. It will not beat games like CoD, Halo or Unreal I guess. It sounds like a excuse for finally cancelling it >:(
im excited by both games. but im pissed off that they keep delaying A:CM we heard about ages before AVP and we havnt even got a trailer we have a leaked teaser.. we have 4 or more AVP TRAILERS
As soon as I saw this, I knew there would be a flame war.... ::)
I'm definately getting both games. I've waited for A:CM for a long time now but to keep me satiated I'm getting AvP it looks fun enough anyway.
Xhan just because the game doesnt satisfy your taste and more than likely will not like it doesnt mean u have to bash on him for being excited about it...heck im excited and am CELEBRATING because I know it will be a good game regardless if u agree or not.
Why nobody aswsers to my questions? :(
Why I prefer AvP over ACM? Simple. It offers variety(play as alien, predator, marine). Aliens Colonial Marines(can only play as marine as far as I know).
I wait the wait between AVP and ACM is justified tbh, otherwise there may be too much division between them from the fans that may decrease multiplayer quality for example. Lets just hope any decisions to put ACM on hold wont stop Gearbox from testing and bug fixing etc.
I never though that I would still be waiting for a game that might be coming out 2011 after hearing about it in 2006, its crazy, the curse of the colonial marines game lives on.
Ok,this is for 2º time,and please ,dudes aswser-me. 1º-In script William Gibson alien 3 , the human to alien, change/ transformed , is like creatures in Resident Evil game or is like the movie alien Invasion of the Body Snatchers? 2º- The Alien Newborn have 2 designs in 2 scripts A:R, the the alien/spider vampire and humanoid, but hear in scripts from Eric Red and David Twohy , thie have on Newbors.Are thier designs diferent or is same ? 3º- Predators have some inspirantion from the 1º game Unreal?Because The Skaarj have the same atitudes the Predators have in script.(the slaves ,genectic crossover and cybernetic implants and torture thing cooperation in the human /alien weapon ...) And please, aswser-me. ::)
ACM: Looking at the picture the Aliens look a little of key, origanal Alien head from "ALIENS" & the fleshy Alien body from "Alien Resurrection Alien vs. Predator". I hate that >:( AvP3: The Aliens look the way they should an Exoskeleton Biomesh body i think (correct me if im rong) & i like that, nothing beats the origanal look. ;)
Clovers: The Alien in Alien 3 bursts out of a Rottweiler not a human, It grows & sheds into its adult form not transforming. thats all i can say from your questions. ;)
i went to gamestop and preordered both avp and acm they come out 2 weeks apart? somethings going on here
Rob, my 1ºquestion is from William Gibson alien 3 script ,not from David Fincher movie , not forget in alternate version of Alien³ (the "Assembly Cut") , alien burst fram Babe ox rather the dog. In script Williiam Gibson, the Biological Warfare division from, Anchorpoint , under developing alien warriors , from ther on ,in base ADN samples,from legs Bishop , after he have fisic contact in the Alien Queen from Aliens.But the clone expermet ,result in outbreak airborne virulent contagion, creating Aliens virus. The human infeted turns in Alien, but not all infeted turn Alien,some cases. In these cases ,the aliens chestbursters burst from host ,in same old fase away Chet predalien jr.Queen ´s chestbursters done thier host. But ani way, thanks. :)
f**k off Sega!
Clovers i forgot about the special edition of Alien 3,yep it did burst from the Ox. good old William Gibson. :D
AVP3>ACM. GO AVP3!
Oh, that's just great.
I'm more excited about AVP than ACM. You get to play a PREDATOR people!!!! And an alien.. not just a marine (ACM).
I just hope that they won't drop the A:CM project. Otherwise it would suck. :-\ I want both games but right mow AVP3 is my primery worry.
@AvP FTW, i agree with you rather A:CM is a good game or not, i dont see it lasting as long as AvP.
Wow I guess we can't have and eat our cake at the same time.
@Rob, I´m not sure you are Aliens/Predator/AvP comics fan , but have thing have ask, as well to other menbers. Did you think Tsutomu Nihei can bring good Aliens/Predator/AvP comics? I´m say ,yes ,but no know you, people agree.Tsutomu Nihei art is some times compare to H.R. Giger, and he already works to MARVEL in comics like Wolverine : SNikt! and one chapter in HaLo grafik novel.He best work is the manga is Blame!. this is links . The 1º is about inspirantion ,the 2º is about ther comics works. Site is German. And please, ask to others menbers about thier opinion. 1ºhttp://www.chromax.de/blame/2.0/nihei.html 2ºhttp://www.chromax.de/blame/2.0/nihei.html ATENCION!: this 2 linnk is about Tsutomu Nihei work, not necerary releted Aliens or Predator, or AVP. :)
@Clovers I am an Aliens comic fan, i got some Aliens comics & Halo comics. I gess it would be ineresting to see Tsutomu Nihei do an Alien, Predator or a AvP comic. i like the Abara comic, deffinetly an Alien atmosphire to it. personaly i can see Tsutomu Nihei do an Aliens comic. ;) Anyone else think the same ?
@Rob I´m thing , we have to create post topic about this in forums discussion.Unfortylti cant login in forums becase, my email problemes,but i´m will help in the Add a Comment in the news topic , from any question thei have.Yes, Abara manga have strong in Alien atmosphire, and also Wolverine:SNIKT also have strong Alien inspirintion, Primogenitor like big White Gauna , remenber the ``Big mama ´´Queen from 1º Aliens comics. Also Digimortal have Predator action, and the cyborgs from Blame! and Biomega , the Silicon Creatures, have strong inspirantion in the Space Jockey and Predator. :) Today have suprise on reading Claymore book 13 and 14 ,and lukes like Teresa face the old freind , and she turns in Awakened Beings ,that is crossover mix in Sil from Species movie and Alien Queen. http://www.mangafox.com/manga/claymore/vES/c001/20.html And the Shimigami King from Death Note have some pose was the Aliens Queen. http://www.mangafox.com/manga/death_note/vXX/c000/26.html :)
@Clovers It dose look like a Queen Alien in a way but it also looks like somthing else, i can't quite put my finger on it.
@Rob Their are just inspirantion in desing ,not real thing. Can you , explain to me ,what is real propose of Egg Morphing in Alien? @RakaiThwei I´m have two questions, about Predators script/movie: Is Producer John Davis (same producer the kill AvP:R) ivolved this movie ? The Predators script have some female-predators, or diferent point aspet from the predators society, in scrpt?
The "real purpose" is exactly how it seemed: To produce more eggs in the absence of a Queen. Dallas and Brett were being turned into eggs. Ripley was preumably going to be a host.
Ya really why? :o
When I first read this I thought "DUH" :P
this game is based on team based action.....not f**kin horror and suspense.......if you want horror get AVP. AVP will have everything ACM will have just not to much teamwork involved.
